Hi All,

My latest purchases ...

















and the accessories I got with mb ...
Mouse Pad, SLI connectors and wifi/bluetooth connector


Now I need make very big decisions to complete my rig. With very less budget left

[rajatGod512]

Holy shi*t thats great ... but you have very liitle left in the tank if you are really going with 60k . When did you change the plan to go really high end . Pls tell whats the price of both of them

[ico]

So, you have purchased a processor costing Rs. 35,000 and a motherboard costing Rs. 15,000 (may be more)......when your overall budget was Rs. 60,000?

[Jaskanwar Singh]

now if you dont overclock, and post results for our hwbot team, then those things are of no use

+1

Congrats to OP...... But Intel Board?

[gvamsikris]

@rajat, @ico

I have 40k for remaining components, I am not going to buy speakers and HDD. I got them from US since my friend got some very good offer so I got them for $600.

@S_V

Intel board since I got a very good offer for this pair.

@jas

I will post the results as soon as I finish my build.

Guys I have 40k left with me I need to finish the build as soon as possible. I cannot make these beasts sitting idle.

Do I need to wait for PCI 3.0 gfx cards or shall I go with 6950 2 Gb / 560Ti 1 GB ?

[dashing.sujay]

^600$ for items worth 1000$? Awesome deal man.

That's an awesome deal, man!!! Too bad, I had spent more on my SB i7 and Z68 mobo.

[gvamsikris]

@skud

Actually I don't require this much of processing power. But deal was so good, I had to go for this. Skud how was you chassis is it a dust magnet ?
My room is dusty So I am afraid of cleaning these chassis regularly.

My choices for chassis are
Corsair 600T
Corsair 400R
CM 690II advanced with USB 3.0

Any suggestions please ....

[Skud]

Actually my cabby is a negative air pressure one, so it does intake lots of dust, but all the entry points are covered by filters, so not much goes inside. Still I use my blower every week/fortnight to keep things under control.

Among your choices 400R looks good to me, but that's subjective. What's your budget btw? I think 600T costs more than the other two?

[S_V]

What exactly is your Good Deal for Proccy and Mobo... So what's the Total amount you did pay for them?

i do not want to change my cabby even for my next build. So I need a cabby with very good air flow, feature proof.

I like Corsair 600T with lots of space, good acoustics and air flow. It costs 8k in flipkart. Hoping I will get it for less in S.P Road Bangalore.

Do u have any other choices.

My friend has a got an employee discount. I paid $568 for the pair.

Suggest me a good gaming monitor (23'' one preferably) and a good gfx card.

@mods

How can I change the name of this thread ?

[The Sorcerer]

600T is a wise choice. Very reasonably made case. All they need to do is switch to USB 3.0 headers and its a kickass!! Check out Golcha IT in bangalore if you want to. I won't recommend getting cases shipped, especially cases like 400R. If you are buying it from a store, open the box and check it infront of them, especially in the rear side where the side screws are present and the front frame. K62 has a way better built quality.

You can check out Storm trooper if you want to. Antec 1200 is something I prefer as well. Steel cases all the way.

Good to know that. Bad thing is that one expect newer products to be better, particularly when you are paying more or equal than a pretty old model.

@mods

Ask the mods to change, you yourself can't do it.

[gvamsikris]

@Sorcerer

I know Golcha IT well, I generally buy components from there. Mostly I will buy remaining components from there.


The remaining parts I require

Ram --> 8GB --> 1600 Mhz or more
CPU Cooler --> LGA 2011 cooler (I have tried in S.P Road but could not find except CM 212 EVO for 2.2 k). I am afraid to use water coolers so I am inclined towards air cooler.
Cabinet --> Corsair 600T / or any other cabby under 8k or is it good to increase my budget to buy a better cabby.
Power Supply --> Seasonic 850 / Corsair TX 750 v2 (any other suggestion)
Monitor --> I need a 23'' FHD a good gaming monitor with no lag while gaming.
KB & Mouse --> Any reviews abt Logitech G100 / Razer Arctosa Any other choice below 2.5k
UPS --> I work in Schneider-Electric So I will try for a rebate in APC products. APC 1.1 KVA is the one I am going for
GFX Card --> My MB does not have a display port. So I need a gfx card. But is it good to wait and get a new gen GFX card or get a 6950 / 560 Ti. I play games a lot, I need a gfx card which can take games from coming years too.

I have a 500 Gb + 250 GB HDD and Creative Speakers. I plan to update these along with a sound card later this year

@mods

Can you please name this thread appropriately

[Skud]

What's the budget for all these?

[gvamsikris]

What's the budget for all these?

40 to 50k

[dashing.sujay]

>Why do you need water cooler ? Untill and unless you go for intense OC^n, 212 evo ftw.

>For PSU fo with Seasonic 850, bang for buck.

Yep I prefer a air cooler, will 212 evo suffice ? for intense gaming and whole day developer work.

abt the monitor it has a 8ms response time will cause any lag while gaming ?

I have asked Sarath abt the feedback waiting for it !!

[Sarath]

I have got you covered bro...
