New Computer!

[ADC_Xtreme]

Hi,
I'm going to buy a new PC with the following configuration:
Processor: Core i7 i920 2.66GHz @ Rs. 15,200
Motherboard: Intel DX58SO @ Rs. 16,000
Graphic card: Palit Radeon HD 4870 1GB SONIC GDDR5 @ Rs. 17,950
Hard disk: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB @ Rs. 5,350
Cooling:
UPS:
Cabinet:
PSU:
Monitor:
Keyboard+Mouse:
DVD Drive:

Please help in filling up those blanks, namely the Cooling and Cabinet, PSU, UPS, Monitor, a Keyboard and Mouse Combo, and a DVD Drive. My total budget is Rs. 80,000, though it can be increased as per my needs.
[ The filled in blanks make up Rs. 54, 500 ]

-Thanks.

dude. wait for some time. there is a drastic price cut on many GPU's, especially HD4870 and GTX260. Both are now available for $170 (around 8k in USA). Don't buy these in hurry. With such budget, I would really recommend you to wait. a week or two and you will get lot better deal.

[ADC_Xtreme]

I can probably postpone buying my graphic card my sometime, but I need to buy the other components urgently.

Check this months Digit they had a very good configuration for you. Or wait I will post it latter.

[desiibond]

UPS: APC 800VA
Cabinet: CoolerMaster CM690
PSU: Corsair VX550 or higher
Monitor: Dell 2209W
Keyboard+Mouse: Logitech MX *(don't remember model number for cordless laser desktop)
DVD Drive: Sony/Samsung DVD drive

Note: X58 mobo doesn't come with onboard graphics and hence you have to buy a GPU.

@toofan:
I checked, but I was still not really satisfied, so I posted this thread. Still, eagerly waiting for your suggestions! Just one request more, please comment on desiibonds suggestions, because then I get confused on what to buy again. I'm a Newbie on Hardware, see...I've got a lot to learn!

@desiibond:
Thanks!! I didn't know that the X58 mobo didn't have onboard graphics, so I'll wait for maybe 2-3 weeks. If you hadn't told me that, I'd be sitting at home, with a useless piece of metal at my home, expecting it to start!

[desiibond]

^^welcome.

Yes. I totally agree. Most of those config's were bullsiht.

A 7k mobo for entry level config. I would rather buy G31 based board+9600GT and get lot more out of the box than that 28k config

[amitash]

I recomment this:

1.i7-920
2.Gigabyte x58 UD5...much better than intel and its only 1k more at 17k
3.3GB corsair Tri-channel kit: 7.5k
4.Get 2xMSI HD4870 and crossfire (12.5k each) if your budget for gfx is 25k..get 2xHD4850 crossfire if less than 20k..It will cost 16k...Both these setups easily beat GTX280 and 2x4850 comes close to 4870x2
5.HDD is fine
6.For cooling get the TRUE 1366 edition...Its not available in india yet though...Order it from KMD..will be around 4k...Dont get cooling if you are NOT Overclocking
7.cabinet--CM690--3.8k
8.PSU--corsair TX650--7k
9.monitor BenQ T2200--9k
10.Logitech G15 keyboard at 4.5k
11.Logitech MX518 mouse at 1k
12.samsung sata DVD burner for 1k

Total if you chose 4850 cfx will cost 84k...Without cooler 80k
If you chose the more powerfull 4870 it will cost 93k with cooler and 89 without...personally 2 HD4850 at 16k is much more than enough for a 22" display to play all games maxed out...

[toofan]

Yup I too agree that in those configuration the mobo are all ......

@amitabh:
Thanks a lot man!! I'm basically buying your configuration, though I'm still buying the Palit Radeon HD4870.

[ADC_Xtreme]

Lastly, can someone please recommend a simple cooling solution. I'm not overclocking.

[The Sorcerer]

I recommend to wait. 1333mhz ddr3 rams itself is freaking expensive its just not worth it.

if you are not overclocking, there is absolutely no need for extra cooling.

[desiibond]

I would pick samsung 2233 21.5" fullHD display over T2200.

[amitash]

@OP if you can wait till april, thew radeon 4890 is coming out...Its supposed to be faster than GTX280 and costs 300$ so it will be less than 20lk here.
