@jassgrewal
2nd rig is a better one to go for

[coolgame]

hey better get 1600MHz ram.1333 is a bit more slower

Didn't we just have a thread for a 65K rig a few days ago? And Jas created a comprehensive guide for almost all price ranges.

anyways, this is just my suggestion and I know there will be people who will jump on me for this, but I don't think that for casual gamers, spending so much on a gaming keyboard/mouse makes sense. Unless you're the kind who frags at LAN parties or take part in tourneys regularly, you won't notice the difference between a 300 Rupee and a 3000 Rupee keyboard.

I am not talking about aesthetics, because I am color blind when it comes to value lol

So if you skimp out on that and opt for a regular mouse/keyboard combo, you will be able to use that money to either get yourself a CPU Cooler or upgrade the hard drive to 1TB.

The 2500K is an awesome CPU that is wasted if not Overclocked. And to ensure stable OCing, you need to replace the standard Intel fans . Just my two paises worth.

Plus, you have to factor in the price of a genuine Windows Disk, which will easily raise the overall cost by 5-10%.

[masterkd]

^what??
you want to say TVS Champ and Razer Arctosa have no difference except aesthetics??

[jassgrewal]

is it important to have a good case?
plz suggest me some good coolermaster psu
is my lg monitor is ideal for gaming

[ico]

you have been recommended a Seasonic S12II 620w Bronze PSU by Jaskanwar.

Good PSUs and Cooler Master - these two words don't go hand in hand. (except Real Power and Silent Pro series)

[masterkd]

case is the house of your components..if you feel you need a good house to live then the components need a good case for them too!!
if you wanna spent 8.8k for screen why lg2240 get dell st2220L
corsair/seasonic psu is better than CM..if you prefer CM only for psu get CM real power/silent power

[jassgrewal]

is it a good deal to buy ati 6970 or should i buy 6950 and oc it
can 6970 also oc

[Jaskanwar Singh]

yes of course you can oc both. but 6970 better deal.

[jassgrewal]

thnks guys !
jas i had checked ur review on dell st 2220l 21.5 and i think i should go for it ?
how much will it cost to me

[Jaskanwar Singh]

^its a good monitor. available at 8.7k.

[game-freak]

my suggestion

any reason of preferring ATI card over NVIDIA, and do u need a UPS or no plz mention

[jassgrewal]

the reason is that in range of 20k the competitor of ati 6970 is gtx 570 and 570 slight slow than 6970 and the gtx 580 is out of my budget

[game-freak]

@ jaskanwar just curious im not a geek still learning abt stuff from u guys

@ jassgrewal do u need a UPS

[Jaskanwar Singh]

@ jaskanwar just curious im not a geek still learning abt stuff from u guys

yaar no problem. leave it. forget it

[jassgrewal]

yeah i need a ups 800w

[ashis_lakra]

nah.. Get a 1KVA UPS from APC.. they will cost more but are worth the money.. can't tell you the exact model..

[ico]

any reason of preferring ATI card over NVIDIA, and do u need a UPS or no plz mention

because it is better than GTX 570 in the long run.

[jassgrewal]

i hav checked out cm eXtreme Power Plus 600W psu is it good for my cofiguration?

It is perhaps the worst PSU you can buy. Avoid it at every cost.

Only go for what has been suggested above.

[jassgrewal]

SeaSonic S12II 620 is not available in mine area but i m able to get cm elite 430.plz suggest
any other alternative for psu

[ico]

Try ordering from here: Seasonic S12II 620w Brone @ TheITWares

Reliable website. You can go for Corsait TX650v2 if you are able to find it.

And please don't go for Cooler Master at any cost. You have been warned regarding this.

[jassgrewal]

thks ico for ur advice im not going for cm psu but plz tell me price of Corsait TX650v2

[Piyush]

around 5.8k to 6.2k depending upon places

[game-freak]

price for tx650v2 is 5500 rs

[damngoodman999]

my suggestion

Awesome man !

Also u can consider GTX 570 twin frozr & Asus GTX 570 direct CU II - If OP like(just an opinion anyway HD 6970 is superb card)

[jassgrewal]

i think CM Elite 430 is better for me than 690 and its price is also less

[bhushan2k]

^^yup it's good case...check the Review
