No suggestions......

[Sam]

Intel:

Core i7 930 + MSI X58 Pro + 6Gb DDR3 from Corsair/S.Skill or Muskin. performance ram: 33.5k

AMD:

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T + MSI 890FXA-GD70 + 4Gb DDR3 value/performance ram from same: 31k.

Cabinet: NZXT M59 @ 3.8k (if you want simple but uncommon. but extra fans necessary)
Cooler Master HAF 932 (full tower)

also get a CPU cooler. i don't have much idea about which one is good & compatible with either AMD & Intel.

What is this CM True Power ? Is it real power pro ?

[Jaskanwar Singh]

check your psu once again
never came across cm true power, is it extreme power?

[Sam]

only Antec have TruePower series of PSU.

I think Asus Rampage II Gene would be great choice...because I am planning to over clock .

And I would prefer Thermaltake Armor + or Kandalf cabinet......

[Jaskanwar Singh]

first wait!!!
change that dangerous psu - Corsair VX550W @ 4.7k

[pulsar_swift]

upgrade your PSU before you plan any thing.

for OC, you have other options. but going for Asus can be a little bad move. 1st. nowadays Asus is having a hell lot of issues. & Rampage series is no different. 2nd. let whatever reviewers tell, its mATX & it isn't a good choice. get ATX motherboard. also other motherboard priced in same range excel in OC. look out for EVGA X58 FTW3.

but if you want something thats best in OC. get Biostar.

about the cabinet, yes Armor+ is a good choice. but instead of Kandalf you can settle for NZXT's top of line cabinet. but all depends on personal choices.

Kadalf is Liquid cooled cabinet.......
Where to find NZXT products in India...Suggest me some cabinets from that......

And also tell me what if I settle for Armor and Cooler master's liquid cooling system???????

Say something about this.

[brayanaustin]

that book is somehow interesting as it provides me some useful background knowledge.

just when you look away, trouble will strike. don't take the risk. change that PSU. or use it at your own risk.

will you go for liquid cooling? all NZXT cabbies comes with pre drilled holes for liquid cooling.

can go but i'll suggest get NZXT M59 (or some other derivatives) + a good air cooler. liquid cooling will bring in lot of hassle. if you ready to accept the increased hassle, can go ahead. BTW, which CM liquid cooling kit you have decided to move to?

so I would have to change my psu.....well I was thinking to change my psu and graphics card by the end of this year.....neways...then suggest my a psu with 700watts bcause I have planned to do crossfire or sli ........


I want full tower cabinets only.....One of my friend has Cooler Master Cosmos cabinet...he opted for 3rd party heatsink and fan... Now he is facing problem ...the heat sink is huge enough to cool down cpu but it touches the side panel of cabinet.....so his cabinet is open......Thats why I am thinking of liquid cooling system


I dont know much about liquid cooling systems....

[pulsar_swift]

CORSAIR TX650 should be enough to drive your setup. TX 850 will be MACHO. One of the forum members Asigh is using a Noctua DH14 in his CM 690. I think that HSF will be enough for yours as well. For the cabinet you can look at HAF mid tower

[Jaskanwar Singh]

yup corsaitx650w is enough for croosfire.

[mavihs]

first of all you have way less budget for all the H/W you want!
2nd i would tell you to go for the AMD setup as it'll provide better rendering in Animation!
3rd a good/decent Liquid cooling setup will cost you around 15K!
4th change that SMPS, its blow/burn/fry your comp as your going for high end components! (Wattage doesn't matter, its the effieciency & the quality of the SMPS which matters)
5th for OCing go for a good HSF like Venomous X (cost 4.7K with brackets). Also a full tower will be good for you but it'll cost 8K+!

Are you learning Animation for doing it as professionally?

I know my budget is very less for all these stuff..
I would go for i7 ....
I will buy liquid cooling system later..

any reason you want to go for i7?
you didn't answer my last question!

This time I wanna try Intel...


I think my friend has same HSF....and he is not satisfied with that product....


Are their any copper based HSF available?
