My computer configuration till now:
1.Motherboard: EVGA X58 triple SLI @ 19000/- Or Gigabyte UD5 at 16,500/- from Phoenix
Having second thoughts about which mobo. Gigabyte UD5 is currently not available with any dealers. Would be a good VFM. I would be overclocking only to a mere 3-3.4 GHz for the next 7-8 months…..target is playing games..some 3DMAx as hobby and a lot of photoshop. I might not overclock at all. Will confirm order by next week. Inching towards EVGA…..Beautiful board….EVGA is the Honda amongst mobo makers. But can those of u have the board confirm its performance. Reviewes are good but first hand report will be even better.
2.RAM: OCZ XMP Ready DDR3 1600 Cl8 From KMD @ 6600/- + Shipping 200/- or OCZ DDR3 1800 Cl8 From KMD @ 8000/- CONFIRMED
Went for the OCZ reaper DDR3 1800 @ CL8: for 8000/- after reading all your comments here. Customer reviews have even ran it on 1600 w/ 7-7-7-22-2T timings.
3.Monitor: Dell 24” S2409w @ 13500/- from Phoenix CONFIRMED
4.Processor: Intel Core i7 920 @ 15000/- From Nehru Place (SMC) Will buy anything less than this! Suggest from where to buy in Delhi? Which Shop at Nehru Place? Lynx have put up a price of 14,250/- on the website. IS it without taxes or VAT? Any suggestions? Yes it was quoted without taxes, talked to Amarbir today. Guess will have to shell out 15k for the processor.
5.Grafix Card: Palit GTX 275 @ 15,500/- from Phoenix --Decided
(I am emotionally a bit Nvidia ) Max I can spend is 15000/ now. I will rather buy a weak GTX 275 now and decide later whether to SLI it or to go for a GT300 series when it becomes decently priced by end of this year. I know ATI 4890 performs similar or slightly better, but I have like the drivers of Nvidia.
6.Cabinet: CoolerMaster Gladiator @ 3900/- or Cm690 @ 4200/- From Nehru place (SMC)
A bit tired of seeing and hearing about CM690. It’s a good case but I like the design of Gladiator better. But since all suggestions are for 690 I might finally go for it. If there are other good cabbies at < 4000/- kindly let me know. I am not willing to spend on NZXT/CM 6000/- ones.
7.PSU: Coolermaster Real power 750w / Corsair 750 watt or 850w / Tagan 800w.
Ready for suggestion. Completely open to ideas. Currently decided for Corsair TX 850 w @ 9300/- . Better prices any one?
8.UPS: APC Smart series. ~ 1Kva at @ 11,000/-
Too pricey man. With a lot of reluctance I buy this after listening to the feedbacks and miseries of other active PFC SMPS users. bowled and runout at the same time. No ideas honestly. Willing to spend around 8000/- . Suggestions and deals please.
9.Mouse: Razor/ Logitech:
Can be settled after the other things settle down. Which is better: Razor Razer Salmosa @ 1.9k or Razer Death Adder @ 2.5k Help. Looking for the best VFM (or any <1 k Logitech mouse) Suggest.
10.Keyboard: Standard Logitech will do.@ 500/-
Sill suggest. Maximum 1250/-
1.Undecided list:
1)Aftermarket coolers: Do I need one if I overclock to 3.4-3.6 GHz or to just 3.0 ghz?
2)Which PCI TV tuner card to buy?
3)Will buy a Zonar later…..No money now.
4)Need for additional fans?
Well guys ... this was my thought till now.... I was about to confirm my purchase but I have been blasted at the hardware troubleshoot forum for NOT GOING FOR A AMD 955 RIG.[IMG]file:///C:/Users/SHADOW%7E1/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG] look here

If you thinks evga x58 is too pricey then get MSI x58 pro. It's @ 10-11K should suffice your oc needs & it does have 3 pci-e x16 slots.
Stick with 1800Mhz rams.
GTX 275 performs better than HD4890
CM690 has best air circulation in it's price range. so get it.
BTW, if don't think it's cool then it's your call what you are gonna opt for.
Get corsair 750W or Tagan 800W if it's modular.
As I said APC 1000VA should suffice your needs & it's the best one you can get.
Get Logitech MX 518 mouse & Multimedia KB
or else
Microsoft Wireless Keyboard + Mouse Set @ Rs. 1500
You don't need a cooler upto 3.2Ghz though it could be 3.4Ghz if you have AC in your room. But I would not recommend to go beyond 3 with that stock HSF to be in the safe limits
Get pinnacle internal TV tuner card. It should be Rs. 2.5K
or else
You can try avermedia or pixelview @ Rs. 1.5K range.
BTW, leadtek also has some good tuners @ 2.5-3K range.
Get 2-3 120mm fans if you are going for CM690
