Also he wants high end speakers and each and every thing

what screen size are you looking at at that budget 27 inch 2500x1600 is the way to go

but if 24inch also ok then look at LG IPS237L-BN x 3 = $780 with a dual 7970 3GB $1500

LG IPS237L-BN
IMO this is the best thin bezel monitor in this price bracket

if you want vertical resolution also then get 6 of those & combine as 3x2 matrix. BTW if you go this way then you will have to get one of these multi monitor holders


too hold all those expensive components get Corsair 800D ~ $371

to provide superb clean power to all your components get Corsair AX1200i ~ $330

Spoiler:

there's a big difference between AX1200i & AX1200 apart from the digital control that AX1200i offers

you can go by this way also

Wait for haswell and next gen gpu's if so much cash is involved. They are worth the wait.

You don't wan't a motherboard to go obsolete after few months when new cpu's are launched and that too after spending a lot of cash.

[Myth]

Is it possible building a rig with 6-7lac budget in india ? I mean, do we have the components to match the budget ?
Couple of gtx690s

[avinandan012]

with quad sli /crossfire comes x4 driver issues& support

I have never built a rig with multiple monitor setup. but i really like the video you provided.

Can somebody plz provide me the full config

is haswell really worth waiting??
I only saw low power consumption and better graphics

[rock2702]

Thats a crazy budget,get an i7 3960x or a xeon processor,go for triple dell 30 inch monitors,quad 7970 crossfire or quad 680 sli,cooler master cosmos 2 case,2 256gb samsung 840 pro ssd in raid,get all the highest end components.

Some suggestions for 7.1 channel speaker and headphones and what about soundcard. Should I go for a soundcard or onboard sound is enough

[sumonpathak]

u do know that the kind of rig he wants can easily be gotten under 3.5lakhs...i guess u can try to make him understand that and tell him to buy a couple of macs...that should cover rest 3 lakhs XD

[rock2702]

I guess ram would cost in excess of 20k,go for asus gtx 680 4gb in quad sli,would cost around 1.6,soundcard anyday over onboard audio,get an asus xonar essence stx,would be around 20k.

For speakers,headphones,keyboard,mouse other members will help you.

You saw wrong. In one word, " YES".

Its worth the wait.

[singh_dd93]

How much time will it be. I can buy from places like US where things are released much before India.

Cause If I tell him to wait too long. He's gonna kill me

It isn't launched anywhere. Expected during Q1 or Q2 2013.

[singh_dd93]

Asked him to wait for 2 months and he said no. He told me that whenever haswell will become available in India he will get the new CPU.
So guys lets go on with Sandy/Ivy bridge

[RCuber]

High end gaming on multiple monitors games like GTA5

AFAIK.. GTA5 is not available for PC , only consoles

[singh_dd93]

AFAIK.. GTA5 is not available for PC , only consoles

I just gave a example. There are many other games NFS,Dirt, Battlefield and many others

[sumonpathak]

if you do that u owe me some cut

[sam_738844]

I..was...reading the posts in this thread ....and YES I AM shocked. I imagined what could be brought forth with that budget and only thought of rigs like those seen in Iron Man movies...super-advanced technology toys ....but seriously if that Mother of God computer is built, i want to know as a humble man upon the middle steps in the staircase of technology....what will happen to the games that'd be played on that monster...? what frame rate would they render, what temperature will rise? noise?, can everything seamlessly coexist...that much power consumption?

Yeah If I had that much money, I would have bought a car(really need 1) but you don't know these rich brats, they are just too much to understand....

Guys Plz suggest other things, He's eating my head.
I have never bought suchh costly things so no experience

[V2IBH2V]

Man, tell him to keep 3.5 lakhs aside and get a Kawasaki NINJA 300R( I've been eyeing one!)
In remainig 3.5 lakh, he can build a monster PC that can kick all the butts!

[rakesh_ic]

dude.. just tell him that he is sick of spending and nothing else..

The money he earned or his dad earned can be better utilized rather than spending it on the machines (read components) that can hardly give him any difference on naked eye when compared to a decent gaming rig.

[sam_738844]

I would suggest spending 3.5L to the Rig itlsef as 'V2IBH2V' highlighted and use the rest to spend on an Alienware Laptop(one good way to waste money and achieve mobility and cool looks) + on A BOSE sound system for ultimate music experience.

Time waste thread.

Ask your friend to come up with balanced requirements irrespective of the budget. Otherwise just shoot with your eyes blind and get anything - which is happening with the suggestions here.

fyi, 4 graphic cards are not needed. Just going with two HD 7970 will do.

Regardless, this thread is closed.
