Dude for 5970x2 you would need a pretty beefy power supply and with your ocing alongwith a i7 980 expect a minimum 1500w PSU to just to the job... this also has to be rated about 80+... or 2 of them if you can fit them in a pc case......

yea i totally agree with asigh..... there is no point spending that much you can just be happy with a 4GB HD 5970 card.... dont waste your money on 2 of them.. unless you are planning to get a 10metre screen 
Hmmm.... Ok as you guys suggest...So is there any difference between 5970 4gb and 5990??Or are they the same card??
Also please suggest a config with this ...I mean i7 980x and hd5970...For budget of around 250k...And a good monitor of 26"+(if possible then supporting 3d vision)
..
Thanks for the suggestion guys...

sorry bro.I didnt know it but i am just assembling a pc and for that i am asking suggestion.
ok guys, no matter. but please once the rig has been finalised (and if its core i7) wich really seems it will be (eventually)..lol then can i add Mr. Kanishka in the aforesaid thread..?? and then will continue the discussions there.. am i right now..??
buddy, can u tell me wats the difference b/w using a hard solid mat (like the itched glass hard mat of steel series) vs a simple local soft (pad) mat..??
i mean i realy wanna knw wat the real deal, if its good then i might as well buy the steel series combo (of mousesolid glass mat).. but 1st plz tell me are they really worth it.. ??
coz u hv so many accessories, so u wud be the right guy to guide me..
-----------
@ kanishka... dude, are u satisfied now with the confi tat so many of our digit friends hv suggested..?? lol... god... how long hv u been saving..??
yup, as asigh said, dont go ba;llistic and on an ALL-OUT-SPENDING-SPREE
be reasonable... -----------
to all: guys, u hv suggested sum really awesome components (not tat i hv the budget like kanishka) to buy them all, but sum1 here suggested really nice links for CPU cooler kits (water, coolant) based...i really appreciat him (oops sorry, forgot the name)...who was tat guy..??

Dude kanishka i think i have mentioned this many times before in other posts... the HD 5990 is nothing but a standard HD 5970 GPU with 2 GB of extra video memory....
@ashu the major difference between a hard mat and a soft mat is that of friction... on a hard mat the surface is very slick... you could just push the mouse a little and it would go skidding to quite a distance, due to the nature of cloth it provides friction / resistance that makes it a more controlling surface... basically apart from the movement of your hand the cloth also adds resistance to the movement..
a hard mat is washable.... soft mat's get dirty quickly and have a life time of generally 1-2 years depending on how you keep them. the hard-mat's work until you dont bang them with frustration and they usually last a very long time
the hard mat is generally made of graphite/ carbon fibre / steel / plated glass [ as in case of steel series ] coated with a layer of teflon to provide extremly low friction . [ teflon is used to coat bullets to make them more piercing ] whereas the amount of friction in a soft mat generally remains the same , whatever the companies may keep claiming, the mats i have come accross there is a very minimal difference in soft mats in terms of friction..
if you are going in for a gaming mat... i suggest you make a budget, there is no use getting a mat and using a cheap standard mouse with it...
the hardmats and softmats which are meant for gaming are very large... like almost 10times the size of you local mouse mat in length diagonally... and are quite thick about 3-10mm
as far as the hard mats are concerned i use them rarely as i play cs which requires moving my wrist a lot ... so if i have no cushioning my wrist starts to pain that's a drawback of the hardmat's
i suggest visit a local gaming parlour like zapak gameplex or something like that, where they keep this stuff have a look and then decide... as a newbie you would be better of with a soft mat
dont expect them to come cheap .... steel series range starts at about 700 for the basic mats and goes upto 2k for cloth based mats and upto 7k for hardmats...
---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------
there are various other brands available in india like ..ROCCAT , Everglide , Razer and Zowie gaming gear , Logitech etc.... but i prefer steel series because it is officially available in India [ others are also ] and their products are thought out and properly tested, if you have any problems they give a hand-hand replacement something companies like razer etc rarely do .

This is the link to the conclusion of one of the best reviews on ATI HD5xxx series...See for yourself the difference between a single HD5970 and 2x 5870's.....
*www.overclock3d.net/reviews/gpu_displays/ati_5000_series_roundup/7
@Noas....As for corsair, they have developed an award winning cabby(800D) , which has so much room that the OP can fit a good Water cooling system and or ATI's 13" GPU's easily giving him good air flow and space to work which is better than a mid-tower cabby....
Cheers,
Sid

Kanishka AFAIK 3D vision you need a 120hz true refresh rate display.... the alienware was one which i could think of ... because in your budget it will be very difficult to find a decent 26-32" screen that manages a TRUE 120hz display.... costing like 45k+
---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------
kanishka that's okay.... even we used to have some doubts on things like these when we were not educated about this stuff but now we have no such problems? have we fellows? ask asigh, and he'll tell me you have no idea

My dear frnd i have read the whole discussion that's going on in the forum. According to me wht i can suggest for such a high configuration i won't suggest to go for a watercooling unit. what i think would be best is something like this which i prefer to get for myself too:
Proccy : i7 975/980
Mobo: Asus Sli mobo/P6T Super Computer or same high end series from this range.
RAM: 24gb Corsair XMS wht Sams suggested
HDD: 2gb internal + 4gb external 800 firewire/usb2.0
Drive: 3 dvd writers/ blue ray drive i don't think is worth for a pc
Monitor: 26" - 30" Full HD but not 2550 resolutions bcos those monitors i have searched are too expensive. One model is from Asus and other is from IBM both cost around $8000 to &10000 so its been a foolish idea to go for them.
Cabby: Good full tower from coolermaster, thermaltake, tagan any can do.
SMPS: 1000 - 1300 for sure not less than that in any case
GPU: 2gb 5790 or 4gb 5990 any one GDDR 5
Keyboard + Mouse + Pad: As per your choice
Coolers: 1 Highend cooler for proccy, 1 cooler for RAM, 1HDD Cooler, 12mm Fans for cooling the max a cabby can support.
This is the final thing that i am thinking about finally. Need inputs from others but i feel this kind of config can be the best in high end range of 200k - 300k. Comments are welcome IMHO this is wht it should be seriously.

Who stole my Alpaca!
Well personally If I had that money lying around screaming "USE ME!" I'd go and hook me up with not only a Pretty nice System but Id get myself a Home Theater Rig too. Maybe a nice LazyBoy Chair if I can find those in India.
Remember when you put in alot of money for the best you could probably escape for the Second best while running up a bill which would consume half your budget. Anyway its your choice. So happy spending .

hey listen bro
u dint actually require that demon processor
((recommended only for professional or insanely extreme gamers))go for it only if u have lot of bucks still remaining in ur hand
anyways check this out
*www.tomshardware.com/reviews/performance-pc-ssd,2568.html
will help
also look at this info on 980x
*www.tomshardware.com/reviews/hyper-threading-core-i7-980x,2584.html
Here's a rough outlook which I am thinking to buy.
CPU:Core i7 980x @62000 or something
RAM:CORSAIR DOMINATOR 12GB (6 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMD12GX3M6A1600C8 @24000
Mobo:Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 @22000
Some tri-loop cooling setup @15000
Graphics Card:Radeon HD5870x2 @52000
good cabinet @10000
2*1 TB WD Black @ 9.9k
Some blueray drive @8000
PSU:Some good one @15000
Monitor:some good 26"+ @30000
Keyboard+ Mouse @10000
Logitech Z-5500 5.1Ch @ 18k
Please suggest me regarding this.
It is crossing my budget a bit. It is around 270k . Please improve this config.

hey reduce ram 6gb, remove gpu and go for one 5790 or 5990, go for ordinary writer not blu ray the budget will come down

Mobo:Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 @22000
Some tri-loop cooling setup @15000 ----> 15k on cooling? Are you sure about this?
Graphics Card:Radeon HD5870x2 @52000 ------> Seems like a waste of money to me. Better get a single GPU.
good cabinet @10000 -------> Best cabinet would probably be Lian Li A70F @ 13k
2*1 TB WD Black @ 9.9k
Some blueray drive @8000
PSU:Some good one @15000 ----------------> Corsair HX1000W should be 13k.
Monitor:some good 26"+ @30000
Keyboard+ Mouse @10000 -----------------> Which make?
Logitech Z-5500 5.1Ch @ 18k
Well I am planning to overclocking the components to the hell.lol . So that is why I am planning to go for tri loop cooling setup as suggested by asingh.
Actually If i don't buy good graphics option now then i won't be able to buy later.
Excellent Cabby , I am pretty impressed by its reviews and design. Thanks alot for this one.
Please sugest this.
Again, probably the best choice available.
Please suggest shall i go for single or multi monitors?
Not sure , but some good ones are suggested in this thread would select one of them.
I also wanted to know that as I am gonna make it in May , so shall I also look for Asus Rampage III Extreme?

Get an LG Scarlett 2.0 32" and hook it up as a monitor. Would work both as a TV and monitor.

Dude seriously reduce the ram. 12GB of ram is a lot.... you wont be using more than 6GB at any rate....
for the gpu get a single HD 5970 4GB releasing in some time it is about 20% faster than the 5870x2 crossfireX ...
For the Blu-Ray drive get ASUS / Sony. i am sure you can find one for that much.
For a core i7 and ocing get a Tagan BZ 1300 / Cooler Master Real Power 1250w.
Go for a single large display it's ur choice.... i suggest get a normal 19" monitor for working and a 32" display for entertainment purposes..
Keyboard select razer keyboard and for the mouse take a razer imperator / ikari optical.
Tri-Loop cooling is good you need to ensure it is properly installed.
