For cooling the entire pc at this much he would require to hit his top end limit of 2.5L

good config dude but you are highjacking the thread.. :(

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

also i suggest get a lower end psu .... you wont need that much a corsair TX850 will do the job

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

Dont go for the cooler master pc case , if you can get a VFM nzxt or lancool / lian li

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

umm 2 pc cases? ?? ......

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

sam9s is right he is better of using a standard air cooling like 6 x 120mm fans and also the safer bet is with ATI right now

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

the 980 gulftown is basically for gaming and 32nm based cpu so it produces less heat is more power efficient and gives higher performance

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

hmmm sam is right the basic specs are the same i.e. the cache levels etc.... so better get a i7 920 and 2 x 5970's ?

WOW , so many suggestions...

Thanks alot guys for many meaningful tips..

@liverpoolfans

Mate , your suggestion is really good but really i don't think that i will be able to change configs in year or so.

@sarkar

You are correct i am also thinking for rampage extreme , i have read the reviews and board seems to be awesome.

@challenger

Will see it buddy. Thanks for suggestion

@sid

well , water cooling is what i am also looking for

@supernatural

Mate I avoid AMD in everything except in gfx card.Anyway thanks for suggestion.

@arc angel

That is really nice config would consider it before taking decision.

@sam.sahb

I am looking for HD5990 4 GB and may be then after sometime crossfire it another one. Also i think i would go with alienware monitor as its reviews are awesome and also It seems to be future proof.Thanks for other suggestions.

@sam9s

I am a big overclocker , you see i am overclocking my proc q6600 and video card EAH 4850 from many months.So yea i would require better cooling.

@rastogi

You config is nice buddy. Are you suggesting it to me or are you buying it? If you are buying it then i think this thread would be helpful to you as well.

Now as it seems i've replied for everybody

As far as I have seen this thread and other forums ,I think to go for i7 980 Extreme , with HD5990 4 Gb , 6 or 12 GB RAM , Alienware monitor(OPTX) , Steel series or razer keyboard mouse , 1000W corsair PSU/or some good(you suggest) , 2 TB WD HDD , Some good water cooling or some other excellent cooling , Rampage Extreme Mobo, Nvidia 3d kit , some good blue ray drive. Please add anything else if i am missing.

Also I've heard that fermi (GTX480 and 470) aren't that good as compared to HD5990 .

Please let me know any addition subraction for the following config if you people have.

If you really want to splurge here it goes. Am sure others can supply you the rates. To lazy to search them up...!

1. Go for Cross fire VGAs. (5870 x 2 would be nice)
2. Get the standard 6 GB RAM -- 3 DIMMs.
3. Minimal 30" monitor.
4. Tri - loop water cooling kit. (this will probably be the most expensive kit). You might need to import this from abroad. (Danger Den and SwiftTech are good brands here).
5. Keep a minimal 1000W PSU.

for assembled one --- take intel core i7 975 extreme edition[48k]
and geforce gtx 395 dual[don't know exact price but 1 will cost 30k+ so dual will cost nearby 65k+]
intel core i7 920 is nothing compared to my written processor..
N GOOD LUCK FOR BUYING.... :p

Swiftech is an excellent water cooling solution and as asigh said you need to get it imported. Sidewinder computers ships to India though their site does not mentions it. Couple of my online fiends ordered from them. Checkout here...

*www.sidewindercomputers.com/swh2edukit.html

also CM has very decent cooling solution called Aquagate Max, with great features, if you do not want to get in to import and shipping hassles, you can get it from any CM dealer.......checkout here....

@tusharrastogi Why not blu ray drives?? OP has such a huge budget. That's y i've suggested him the blu ray one.

@OP and Other Members
For water cooling may be you would like to look here *www.overclock.net/water-cooling/334805-guide-best-watercooling-components.html

And for Nitrogen Cooling just take a look here *www.tomshardware.com/reviews/5-ghz-project,731.html

May be the above link helps.

I agree with asigh....Better go for CrossFire-X with 2 x HD5870 rather than a single HD5990....
As far as cooling is concerned Danger Den and Swiftech are one of the best manufacturers of Water Cooling Kits....

Aquagate Max was never a hit. Cause, the reservoir goes into the 5 1/2" drive bay. And the cabinet cannot be tilted.

Sam9s, Sidewinder will ship to India..?

As for the case, u should invest in a Corsair Obsidian Series 800D....This is a great case and justifies the money u pay for it.....
Here are the links to its reviews--*www.thinkcomputers.org/corsair-obsidian-series-800d-case-review/

Dude the L2N cooling you suggested is quite a hastle.... you need to open up the pc case again and again and also you need a source of L2N... he is much better off with a water cooling system.... yea dangerden and swiftech are well reputed brands for the serious overclockers.... you might also want to consider koolance.....

Go for the dual 5870's in crossfire for extreme performance....it gives 5-10% more FPS compared to the current 2GB 5970's , if you can wait i suggest get a 4GB 5970.... that is way faster than the other 2 cards... but be ready to shell out nearly 60k for One of this baby.....

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

also the minimum requirement for the 5870's is a 500w PSU so running a i7 98x and oced rig get a minimum 1000w+ psu ..... probably a cooler master real power 1250w OR Tagan BZ1300.

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

It is better to go for a nzxt case / LiaLi or Lancool cabinet this is corsair's first pc case.... i suggest go for a company which has been making pc cases for a long time.... my personal favourite is the NZXT M59 for 4k it has awesome features including drilled holes for water cooling kits and a copper radiator for air cooling.

hey people ,

My uncle(relative) is also a hardware distributor and i asked him too regarding the pc but he said me that with this budget it is better to go for alienware as alienware would provide better support for customers also if i buy very high tech parts then in case of any problem it would be difficult to get support in India for assembled PC and the makers could point out conflicting things in the config. He said that alienware people in india are providing pretty excellent support to their customers. He also said to wait for Alienware ALX Area 51 which he is expecting to be released in month of may in India.

He also said that assembled pcs are very troublesome sometimes if hardware combination are not done properly.

In my previous experience of assembling , Even i have faced the pc getting hanged quite often sometimes.

I don't want waste such huge money guys. So please let me know if there would be any problem regarding assembling? I mean I am ready to assemble but I am afraid of the negative consequences.

Please suggest me..
