pc with no budget

[satdeep]

my friend her is a serious gamer and wants to build a new gaming rig with no limitations of budget...he has kept aside about 200k for this PC....he has relatives in US so getting parts will not be a prob....kindly suggest a config that can kill all games and be future proof for at least the next4-5 years...

[ajai5777]

Rig for 2 lac?:CiobarAbt2Cry:

[Hsakarp_kahtap]

he was saying something about 4-way sli....is it possible??what about heating issues??

[satdeep]

nebody there to help???asigh??sam???common hlp plz

[Sid_gamer]

^^
4-way SLI is possible, but only in the motherboard's having 4 or more x16 slots like this one :

[Sid_gamer]

It's the EVGA X58 4x SLI, but practically a 4 way SLI rig will even cost more than 200K..
And it is an utter waste of money coz all the games he wants to run for 3-4 years wil run easily on a 2x SLI (or Crossfire-X) config....
So it is better if he goes on for a setup which has 2x ATI Radeon HD 5870 and motherboards like the ASUS Rampage 2 Extreme, Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD7, DFI Lanparty UT-X58-T3eH8....
But my personal choice will be the Rampage 2 Extreme...

This is not possible. Gaming technology will change. New Dx versions will come out. Better API processing would be required to harness the full potential. Ask your friend, what screen size (or multi-monitor) he desires. It all starts from the screen size (if budget is no issue). Then we can take it forward. It is too easy to suggest the E series Intel stuff, and a 3-way sli/xfire set up. Lets make this logical. Even with a moderate board, and good GPU he can scale most games. Will the user OC..? Also regarding parts from abroad, no use. Unless he wants specific case modding (sleeves, connectors) and water cooling kits. Rest to my knowledge, is easily available in India.

Well said...+1

[Anorion]

Yeah, it cannot be completely "future proof", so it's better to invest the money over time as necessary instead of an all in one go thing... also, 4 way SLI is overkill. A good rig does not have to be so... obscene.

he would prefer Dell 3007WFPHC LCD...its an excellent 30 inch lcd from DELL....also can a Sony Bravia be used as a screen for this rig(he was asking)will 2-way sli or crossfire run games like crysis, COD etc. easily on max settings on this screen??i have my doubts....yes he will overclock....and yes he was talking something about nitrogen cooling....heck im so confused

@Sid_gamer

It's the EVGA X58 4x SLI, but practically a 4 way SLI rig will even cost more than 200K..

Budget is not a problem here my friend...he is getting paid pretty well...i asked him to what amount he can extend his budget??He replied not more than 500k....i just fell down from the sofa i was sitting on....serious gaming is ok....but 500k for a rig...you were right gopi_vbboy my friend is a freak

@everyone helping me out
budget is no concern just build him a damn mean machine....yes im also excited cause ill be gaming with him too....he lives right next door to me...

[Sid_gamer]

^^
But what is the need of going overboard when he can have a great rig in a lot lesser amount of money, But still if he wants a show-off rig then it's his choice...

And yes he was talking something about nitrogen cooling....heck im so confused

Liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling is not a stable cooling solution, it is used mainly for setting world records in benchmarking (or testing)....And you cannot always run a PC by cooling it with LN2 because there is a lot of condensation which takes place around the LN2 Block, and this condensation can prove damaging to the components like the motherboard.....
Moreover it sometimes leads to processor freezing (as the temperature is well below minus 50 degrees)....

It will be better if he goes for water cooling rather than LN2 cooling, maybe he can take a Tri-Loop water cooling kit which will be more than sufficient for his rig....

@satdeep
may be this will help ur frnd

thnx buddy...i showed the config to him...but he wants smthing better...i dont know what else can give a better performance??

[Jripper]

^
What does he intend to do??
Game or run 5 servers on his machine??
The rig suggested to him is powerful enough to last for atleast 2.5/3 years without any kind of hiccup.
If he wants more performance just so that he can game,it will be a sheer bloody loss of money and nothing else.
And yeah,if he has some cash left,tell him to mail some cash to the accounts of the members here. xD

yah sid right. it is used only for setting world records. and if everything goes fine, than usually the motherboard goes bad (ram & video card follows). but what if something goes wrong?





these are possible consequences heres the link: AMD Phenom II 42 TWKR Black Edition Processor.

lol....he just wants to show off...he says he wants to build a system never built before....tell me one thing.... he is going for a sony bravia to use as a screen....can any 2-way crossfire or sli play games at max on that screen??isn't more than 2 required??

[johndoe6666]

Get a 256GB SSD @ Rs ~45K, it'll blaze

[Piyush]

@sam
that link was cool
never heard of that poccy
looks like AMD got those proccys for secret agents...lol...

ask him to save the rest of money for future
look there is nothing like GOD rig which will never show its age
even him he spends all of his money on the rig ,its true that it may become obsolete in 5 years or so
then what?
will he again spend 500k?
man!! it sounds stupid to me(being frank)
if he has that much of money left,ask him to donate it to some needy organizations

[gagan007]

he wants something better!!!

what could be better than this configuration to play games! all the games present in the market will run more than smoothly on this....
but if he is so expert in hardware why doesn't he make his own rig...
moreover it is a myth that you will get "better" parts in the US...most of the stores in US sell made in china/taiwan hardware...same as they sell in India

[satdeep]

he says he will buy 3 of those 30 inches dell moniters....join 3 5970s in crossfire...one for each monitor....and has zeroed on Onkyo 7.1 Home Theatre with amplifier.......for a cabinet he says he'll take either Lian -Li PC-A77 or Thermaltake SwordM LCS(the liquid cooling available with the case can be used to cool the gpu's)...though he's more inclined to take Thermaltake....2 Coolermaster Real Power Pro 1250W for his PSU....he was saying something about buying a dual socket motherboard(i didn't know that such mobos existed) and putting two core i7 980x on them...2 Thermaltake ProWater 850i for each of the proccys since he'll overclock them....rest he is still deciding...any suggestions for soundcard that matches this rig and will be able to support the sound system he has decided??

Any better case that can fit in all these parts....plz let me know..

[Sid_gamer]

Here is the motherboard which has dual sockets for the i7 980x....
Take a look-


This motherboard is a power hungry monster, but practically even the biggest noob wouldn't buy it....
If ur frnd really has that much amount of money then suggest him to donate it to a needy organisation....:C_moneymouth:

yea he was talking about this only....and i can see from the slots that 3-way crossfire or even 4-way crossfire is a possibility with a quadro physics(what is that?)card....he was asking for the best ram available...planning to put 24GB of it....

he donates 100k?
he's earning REAL money i guess

[Jripper]

GOD.Why the injustics?? :\
Tell him to spend all his money then.If he wants to build a system that has never been built before(thats impossible since there are many geeky guys in this world richer than him),tell him to sell his house,get that EVGA motherboard,buy whatever number of insane GPU's that motherboard supports(4-8 or whatever 5970's or GTX 480's,or both),hotwire 3-4 Corsair/Tagan 1000W Smps's. Add a 1000mm fan to a thermaltake armour case(I don't think it supports it) spend the rest of his money on those insane speaker systems from klipsch and then sit and game in front of his house as his house gets auctioned off.
xDDD

*statement correction:-

GOD.Why the injustice?? :\

[Sid_gamer]

And yeah, he'll need to buy at least a 1800 Watts or greater PSU for that system....

[Sam]

if he wants build most unique pc, better build it from prototypes & giving special orders for the rest. like:

Processor: Intel Core i9 1000X processor (100 cores, frictional) water cooled.
Mobo: Asus & Evga combined project. powered by Intel X99 chipset.
Ram: G.Skill 30Gb kit @ 3000Mhz, water cooled CL5.
HDD: 5 X Intel next gen X45M 1Tb SSD in Raid 0.
Graphics Card: 4 X ATI Radeon cards based on Southern Island architecture & H20 Cooled.
PSU: Custom built 2000W PSU @ 99% efficiency.
Cabby: Special Ordered Lian Li cabby.

well, i hope this will give one heck of a system. it'll go down only when DX11.1 or DX12 comes out. till than stay cool.

[satdeep]

LOL...i showed ur posts to him sam.shab and jripper....he was laughing like hell...neways ill keep u posted on what he decides upon finally....ne suggestions are most welcome...
