Hello all.
1st Jan 09. My New Rig is to ordered then.
Calling all Champs to suggest suitable components/Modifications for my Machine. Also, Max Budget is 65k, but my own estimates put this machine at 73k. Plz suggest suitable modifications for trimming down the Budget to 65k.
Components that i have shortlisted:
Intel C2D E8500 - 9.5k
Sapphire HD4870 1GB - 14k. i hope....
Crucial Ballistix 2x2GB DDR2-800 (PC2 6400) - 3.5k
Corsair TX750W - 7k
CM HAF932 - 9k (cheaper anywhere?)...also in contention CM690 / NZXT. (Model not Googled yet!)
Dell SP2208WFP - 16k ....(BenQ T2200HD also in Race!)
SATA dvd-RW - 1.3k
WD 320/500 GB HDD 32MB Buffer - 4k
Undecided yet:
MoBo. (Max Budget = 11k) leaning towards Asus p5Q Deluxe/p5Q Pro. Somebody suggested Gigabyte EP45-UDP3 for 8.5k thru imports. But, i'm concerned about warranty as well. Same goes with Sapphire HD4870 1GB. Does Gigabyte have service centre in India, Mumbai especially ?
Heres a quote from Sapphire's Website about Warranty limitations. Couldn't understand it properly.
Other Points worth Mentioning:
1. Rig is mostly for FSX, for which even 64 cores don't seem to be enough.
2. I'm concerned about Warranty if i go thru kmd/newegg route. Don't wanna spend 1k evrytime a cap defuncts.
3. All this was planned with Future-proofing and FSX (hence, Crossfire..OCing & Cooling!) in mind, wherein i'm bound to misallocate budgets for PSU/Cabinet. This is where ur opinions can help.
4. The only option i think of right now, is to pick up HAF932 later.
Plz reply soon.
