now amd drivers are great. i never had issues, any single issue.

Skyrim uses Gamebryo, a stupid engine that ALWAYS had issues with AMD architectures in multi-GPU mode.Reviewers possess a different view, particularly when the games work fine under SLI. Skyrim comes to mind.
Many games favour nvidia and some favour AMD. Which is the sole reason for most of the issues that games have in relation to drivers.

jeez you really want to spend so much on a comp...
Get a single 7950 and overclock it, or get a dual 7950 setup..you will save around 15k and end up with the same performance...
120GB of SSD should be fine na...why going overkill ?
btw kepler high end GPUs are going to be pretty late..march launch is for low end kepler GPUs
something like a momentus XT?
sorry OT.

2 Optical drives?
Titanium Fatal1ty pro @~11k. Non-fatal1ty is not good.
G500>G9x @3k
Corsair K60>Blackwidow (not sure of price)
Steelseries Experience I-1> Vespula @1.8k
More VFM RAM, because 2133 @CL11 is not good: Flipkart: Gskill RipjawsZ DDR3 16 GB PC RAM (F3-12800CL9Q-16GBZL): Ram
BTW I saw the Max IOPS Vertex 3 at theitdepot for a monstrous 17k. Compare that to 12.5k including shipping each for my pair.

<Refer my earlier Post - Edited>
I feel adding another 24x DVD R/W to this config won't matter much to the budget.
I have added Titanium Fatal1ty pro...
The reason, why i was insisting OP to buy G9x coz, OP can add or reduce weight anytime & on top i feel its a good choice for FPS gamers.
I think Corsair K60 is not available atm, but blackwidow is a gr8 KB IMO.
Vespula pack both control & speed surfaces, which will cater these gamers, however they wish to handle their controls.
Added RipjawX 4x4GB CL9 kit to the config.
Do you feel MAX IOPS will be ideal choice & is it any good in RAID 0...i'm not so sure about its reliability.

corsair K60 will be available by the end of this month. As OP is getting this PC in march, i guess he can get that easily. And i will always prefer Corsair's Build Quality and Reliability over Razer's.
MAX IOPS uses 32nm Toshiba ToggleMode NAND. Normal uses 25nm ONFI NAND. Need I say more?
Well I'd choose a G510/G110 over Razer crap. K60 has Cherry MX Red. Black Widow has Blue and ultimate has black. Need I say more?
G500 also has weight control- it is an evolved G5 after all.
Vespula, I dunno man, I like my glide to be smooth. Speed vs. control is BS TBH.
Answers to questions:
3Xnm flash chips have 2x the write cycles of 25nm chips.
Cherry MX Red is the ULTIMATE mechanical keystroke.

^^ why dont they have a "like" system here on TDF
coming back to the topic : do u really think that spending 3k extra PER SSD is worth for the OP ?

Yes. I would suggest buying it online from other stores though unless total cost is similar.
Mine came in less than 25k.
Something similar to the 'like' system is there, use the weights below the profile data

See, OCZ Vertex 3 120GB MAX IOPS is 12-15% better performance, for a drive that is 30% more expensive than normal OCZ Vertex 3 120GB.
Its worthy if OP purchase the 240GB for 64 channel nand versus 32 channel as in 120GB Max IOPS.
Well,the question is all about its availability. Even CM Storm Quick Fire Rapid (Red Switch) also into the league. I think, its cheaper also.
Then that can also be considered. I would suggest buying the SSDs outside India.
Thanks a lot to all you guys for the excellent inputs.
I appreciate them all
I was really confused about a proper gaming keyboard mouse combo but now I have got a lot of options with the hands on user reviews which will help me in my final choice.
Now the main problem lies about the proper graphics card and from the forum discussion I have come to certain conclusion
1. Quad sli/cf setup using two pairs of the latest 590/7990 graphics card - Not proper scaling all the time, pricey, driver support for latest games, game dependent performance variation.
However in this case both cards run on 16X speed.
So my question is if I use FOUR nos GTX 580 in quad sli (unfortunately the cards will run at 8X speeds and they all might not fit in all mobos)
2. Dual sli/cf with gtx580/radeon 7970 - They do give comparable problem but will they have enough firepower to shift above 1920X1080 resolution.
From pricing point they are the best catch no doubt. dual gpu cards, i believe, have some advantage with pushing pixels in above hd resolutions
Now it will be very helpful to discuss in this aspect about choosing the perfect combination to make a powerful and future proof machine
I kindly request you to shed some light into this matter..
Thanks again

4-way SLI/CF= Trouble.
Get two 7970s.
@d6: yes.
But you are wrong mate. i maxed out Serious Sam 3: BFE @1680x1050. My performance was from 15FPS-45FPS usually, with average at 37 FPS. Video memory used was never below 2.5GB once the game got fully loaded. Game has arguably the best lighting I have seen so far. Memory usage went as high as 2820MB.

It sure is but Fatal1ty Pro is not worth the price... Titanium HD would be a better choice for music...
If you are going for a 5.1 setup, spend on better speakers like Edifier S550..
fatality pro is better at analogue output performance.
Titanium HD is better at music, undoubtedly, but it will **** with the sound rather than stay neutral (important for games). Fatality pro stays neutral.
