All the above posts have been irrelevant to the thread. A guy with so much money is expected to buy a 1900XT CF now and get 8800GTX SLi or equivalent later.

Keep in mind that this system will last you only a few months after which you will need to buy a new cpu, may be a new motherboard and a new GPU setup. RAM will do for 1yr min. The rest of the components will do for 1-3yrs depending upon you.

E6700 - 28000
P5B/P5W
Corsair Value 4GB DDR2 667/800
Seagate SATA II NCQ 300GB X 2
Radeon X1900XT CF
DVD RW+Combo+FDD
Antec Trio 650
Dell 19" TFT
Quality 700-800va or more UPS
Logitech G5/MX518
Microsoft keyboard/Logitech keyboard
Creative X-Fi
Klipsch 5.1, or Altec Lansing 5.1, or other 5.1 in around 10-15k, may be Logitech Z5300
Good cabinet

All this will cost you a bomb

Save the rest for R600 CF or 8800GTX SLi + Core 2 Quadro + Physics card

nVidia 7950 1GB
4GB DDR2 RAM @800 MHz
Intel New Dual Core Processor

no use getting a 7950 now its better set up an SLi between 2 DX10 cards...and why only get 800MHz ram, 1GHz or 1.1GHz rather! :p

Well ... the 7950GT should be similar priced as the 7900GT's (roughly the same in USD) .. so that should be a min. for mid high end pc's ... and a must buy with that budget ...

Alienware and Dell XMS will give crap for this price compared to what you can yourself get. If you can afford to spend 2lac an annum and only want core components this year then I would recommend the following:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6700
Asus P5W
4GB DDR2 800/1066
Radeon X1900XT CF

All this should set back maybe around 1.25-1.5lacs

Alienware:
Out of budget after taxes etc
Will give crap for the price
Not available locally, too many hassles involved
Too many complaints
Customer service won't be up to the mark and very expensive
Man not be that kind of fun for him

Radeon X1950XTX is the only new card and that isn't available in India, even if it comes it will be like 40k, or 35k or 70-80k in CF. Depends if you want to spend that much.

You won't find much diff between E6700 and X6800. The only diff is a tad faster at stock and unlocked multipliers at the max.

30-09-2006, 05:28 PM

on newegg its price is stated ast 950 USD, you'll have to check out the price with your dealer coz the x6800 is gonna be hard to find.

akshayt

30-09-2006, 05:35 PM

A person who buys a X6800 doesn't need to know its price.

If you buy till a E6700 I understand because it gives some VFM, but C2D X6800 is just too expensive, must be within a range of 45-70k, not many people will know its exact price.

IMO It will be about 10% faster than a E6700 which costs about 27000 at stock in benchmarks, differs due to its intel extreme thingy and has garunteed unlocked multipliers I think.

What you need is a huge display. 30 inch. It will make a world of a difference and let's face it, it wont get outdated! (At least not as fast as your average CPU/GPU does). A display will greatly help you do your work more efficiently, much more efficiently than getting a task completed two seconds faster.

only cpu, mobo, gfx and ram is needed, i'd wait for a few months and get the quadro core, 8800gtx

MakeWayForTheBadGuy

10-10-2006, 08:51 PM

Goobimama has hit the point. A system with a 6800 and 4GB of Mushkin RAM and an SLI of DX10 GPU's with a puny little 20" LCD would be like having a ferrari in Mumbai traffic, woldn't be able to utilise complete output of that monster.

And if you decide to get a good Display too, something of the likes of dell 3007, you might have to stretch that budget even further. :wink:

akshayt

15-10-2006, 12:41 PM

@OP all above posts including mine can be discarded now. Adhere to my post nly if you feel that this money has soe value and s hard earned/saved.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
Upgrade to ore 2 quadro in 2007 mid, alan wake will run much fster on a quadro than on a dual core, you will need the money then, E6400 will do everything fabulously after a good overclock and even at stock it is a fast CPU

Asus P5W, the latest mobo, forgot the name but not PW or something, that mobo should cost around 15k+, that should be worth it as may use it for your CPU upgrade etc.

4 X 1GB DDR2 667/800 RAM, or get 2GB now and wait for price reduction

Seagate SATA II NCQ 300GB X 2

Radeon X1900XT, upgrade to Dx 10 R600 4-6 months down the line

19" Wide screen monitor

G5

normal keyobard

Antec NeoHE 500, upgrade with next upgrade.

drvarunmehta

15-10-2006, 03:50 PM

It's not Quadro, it's Quad core. Quardo is the name of nVidia's workstation graphics cards.

Don't get 4x1 GB RAM. Get 2x2 GB. Running 4 chips is slightly slower than 2 chips.

For this rig, the primary HDD should be 2x Western Digital Raptor 150 GB 10,000 RPM SATA in RAID-0. Then add whatever else you want for additional storage.

DirectX 10 GPU's are going to consume over 300 watts. Double that for SLI/Crossfire. Get a 700-800 (or more) watt PSU right now instead of upgrading just a year later.

goobimama

15-10-2006, 05:35 PM

It IS Quadro btw. At least for now it is called that.

Also used by Nvidia's workstation graphics cards though...

akshayt

15-10-2006, 07:39 PM

Yes, it is quad core. I know quadro is nvidia's GPU.

4 modules might not do well with AMD, but doesn't Intel do better with 4 modules? Anyway, getting a single 2GB modules may set back 15-20k, rather get 2 X 1GB RAM now and upgrade 2-4 months down the line when RAM prices become fine once again.

Raptor is very very expensive, and it may be fast, but it isn't fast enough for the price, so there is no point buying it unless he has enough money to spend atleast 1lac per year on his computer. Then also he has to think whether to invest in it or not. Besides Seagate 7200.10 drives are very fast.

Directx 10 cards will consume a lot of power. But getting anything over Antec NeoHE 500 is a waste. That PSU costs around 6k, Antec NeoHE 550 costs around 8k. He won't be using more than NeoHE 500 right now. The best PSU available in India is Antec Trio 650 which may or may not be available and will cost 9k+. That too may just about be able to take Dx 10 card but probably won't be recommended. So he basically wasted his 3k for nothing. Rather, buy NeoHe 500 now, sell it later or buy a separate PSU for the GPU, such PSUs have already reached newegg. That way you save the most and gain almost wholly.

20-10-2006, 03:46 PM

You made a stupid mistake. Anyway, nothing much can be done now. But be prepared to shell a lot in another 6 months, Quad core + Dx 10 will take your money and DDR3 too will come in 2007. Keep the money ready!

drvarunmehta

20-10-2006, 04:02 PM

Why should he have to shell out more in 6 months? A high end C2D with 4 GB RAM and a GX2 will last a really long time.
Just because Quad core is coming out soon dosen't oblige him to upgrade. Same for DDR3 RAM and DX10. Just because something new is going to come out dosen't mean you keep waiting.
DX10 isn't even going to matter for over a year after it's release because all games will be backwards compatible. No one with such a high end PC will waste money for a little more eye candy that DX10 will provide.

akshayt

20-10-2006, 05:46 PM

Games like Alan Wake require a Quad core if you want to run it smoothly on high setting. Although it maybe the only game, but still, there will be such a game.
4GB will be enough.

8800GTX/R600 will be like 1.5-2 times as fast as what he currently owns but offer much more eyecandy. It would be stupid not to upgrade if you have the money to shell.
Dx 10 is going to matter. PERIOD. Mark my word, April 2007 one and all will admit that Dx 10 is a big boon, it would either give fast speeds or better quality and infac both.

His current system won't be running Crysis at maxed settings, not maybe even at 10x7. Nor will he able to run AW at max settings.

I would advise to sell this card in Q1/Q2 2007 for around 15-20k if possible and get a single Dx 10 card. Alternately sell it now and get a Radeon X1900XT, that way you loose less and get better IQ + HDR and AA together.

If you want yo can sell the CPU now or later for the upgrade.

drvarunmehta

20-10-2006, 05:56 PM

Your suggestions are fine for a hardcore gamer obsessed with playing everything at the highest settings. Not everyone falls in that category.

So what if Alan Wake and Crysis don't work at the highest settings with his config? When the Geforce 9 series comes out it will make the Geforce 8800GTX/R600 look slow. A person can't keep upgrading. There's just no end to it.

You're right about the X1900XT though. A Geforce 7950GX2 is overkill if you don't have a really huge monitor. A X1900XT will get the job done on a monitor upto 19" at a much lesser price.

akshayt

20-10-2006, 06:57 PM

For a res of 16x12 you will surely want a 7950GX2, but for previous games there is no HDR + AA, and less good IQ then.

ru some prince or something? u hv so much power at hand with fx55 n still wanting more. listen, amd is going to release new cpu just about in DEcmber specificaly meant for gaming. U can take c2d x6800 (44000) for powered performance when it comes to editing audio n video. The addition of this card over its brethren e6800 is its overclocking ability. u can clock it on custom basis at 3.1 ghz with no cooling, 4.1 with normal cooling solution or 5.5 ghz with liquid nitrogen cooling. buy it or, just wait till first quarter of 2007 n take home abrand new core2quad processor, ie 4cores in 1cpu.
invest in 1ghz 4gb corsair ram.
for mobo, either take an ASUS p5w dh deluxe or an intel D975XBX board. but, they support ati graphic cards, in crossfire mode, no SLI
i dont know about sli supportive mobo other than those with nvidia chipsets.
take home a seagate barracuda hdd 750GB.
Allow the rest of the money for a good physics unit ngrafix unit after directx10 is released. Also, save some for a cooling solution.
and as for the cabinet take home an Antec cabinet with a 500watt PSU for about 7500/-
(the processor is a voltage hogger n was suggested assuming u can foot high electricity bills. But it will hog only if u overclock it beyond 3.1ghz)
