[Hitboxx]

How about following forum etiquette and not using bold and not using blue for general posts? And of course, the title.

Anyways, I have edited it .

[desiibond]

what's your budget

[ashu888ashu888]

to Raja Gopal:

well, i can jus read ONE thing wich is

hardcore gaming

but yes, w;out a budget it is a bit difficult to giv u the configuration...

Also, (jus as a suggestion) BLu ray players are far more costly and not at all VFM (value for money) at the moment,

[Cool Buddy]

with the kind of work you want to do, be prepared to spend upwards of Rs. 65000 to 70000. if you don't have that budget, prepare to be satisfied with less.

[ashu888ashu888]

yup, right, inface a core i7 system config wud be suitable for him..wich wud be around 80K (if he wanna settle for the best) components..

[desiibond]

Looks like he is one of those post once and forget type

[Raja Gopal]

since i am doin colleging i can only reply at eve

sry for late reply

budget is 1 lakh pa

if it goes abv my budget too no probs i can manage

pls suggest one for me

[damngoodman999]

1 Lakh 1 lakh 1 lakh ----> no probs

since u r doing graphics works go for Nvidia card

here is the specification :-
___________________________

corei7 920

GA-EX58-UD3R

EVGA GTX 295

6GB DDR3 RAM 1333

1TB hard disk

LG BLU RAY writer

corsair VX 650 PSU

SAMSUNG T220 LCD monitor

logitech G5 mouse

logitech G5 keyboard

Creative X-FI gamer (sound card)

Creative T6060 5.1 speakers

Thermaltake ARMOR + MX series "mid tower"

Thermalright ULTIMA-90I -- CPU cooler


thats end up sure it comes to 1.2 lakh only 20K added extra


this system will be the bulldozer and one hell of rig for all purpose

[desiibond]

^^ Replace Creative T6060 with Philips MMS460 (5.1) or Logitech X-540

[damngoodman999]

i know logitech is good

it seems Philips is good now a days dude ???

[desiibond]

I have been using Philips MMS430 2.1 for more than 3yrs. Superb speakers and stunning sound.

[damngoodman999]

i thought creative T6060 was good enough ???

[amitash]

A 22" monitor and a GTX295? Thats what i call a waste of cash... A single GTX280 will be much more than enough...To make full use of a GTX295 you need atleast 30" display...and the PSU might just be too little for a gtx295.
Change to:
1.core i7 920--15k
2.Gigabyte UD3R--13.5k
3.6GB DDR3 1333--15k
4.2xMSI HD4870 crossfire--25k
5.LG BLU-ray--10k
6.BenQ T2200--9.5k
7.segate 500gb HDD--3.2k
8.CM690--4.2k
9.Tagan BZ700--7.5k
10.creative T6060--4k
11.Logitech Mx518--1.3k
12.Logitech G15--4k

Total--1.1L

[damngoodman999]

^^^ dude he is doing grafix work , so ATI is not recommended

Nvidia is best for the grafix , and GTX 295 is much faster

Benq T2200HD is good which i use now , but samsung would be the best in case of animation cause 1920 X 1080 is too much grafix for animation purpose

CM690 --> dude he is getting desktop for 1 lakh probably he should have good PSU no matter what it exceeds 3K extra

Corsair VX 650 will be suited one

[Cool Buddy]

add to that the cost of windows 7 ultimate. expect it to be around 12 to 15k on launch

[Raja Gopal]

oh thx u all for ur suggestion ,

u mentioned lg blu ray , what is the diff in performance b/w lg and sony blu-ray ?

another question weather the home theatres mentioned by u all wil play back optical dts ?

the above i mentioned in specification has CREATIVE X-FI gamer SOUND CARD which enhances more bass & treble u ll surely find the difference the power

Sony is complicated when it comes to DISC operation , cause sony is typical for the DISK if it gets scratch the playback on the disk will be so hard ,the quality is built that good

LG blu-ray is moderate & cannot say VLM , but its good

Hey buddy, Amitash, i was hoping tat u wud end up replying here too..
-----------------

So, im not giving my config for tat OP.. as he has got enough suggestions..
-----------------

But, yes for the GPU: Evga gtx280 (SSC=Super super clocked) edition Rs. 22.7K as nVIDIA are better cards for graphics workx...

[amitash]

CM690 --> dude he is getting desktop for 1 lakh probably he should have good PSU no matter what it exceeds 3K extra

Thats cabbinet not PSU

GTX295 will extend your budget to 20k more...New cards are coming out in Q4 this year so I suggest you get sth like gtx280ssc (for nvidia) or 2xHD4870 (ati) for now and then you can get the new gt3xx series.

[damngoodman999]

^^^ sorry my bad !!!

GTX 295 only 10K extra

[Raja Gopal]

once again thx for ur suggestion dudes

[ashu888ashu888]

^^

not a problem buddy..
--------------

But, yes once u hv build up ur Core i7 rig, then join the Official Core i7 thread (link in my siggy) and post ur final config there..

[comp@ddict]

1.core i7 920--15k
2.Gigabyte UD3R--13.5k
3.6GB DDR3 1333--15k
4.Sapphire HD4870X2 2GB GDDR5 @ 31k
5.LG BLU-ray--10k
6.BenQ E2200--11.5k
7.segate 500gb HDD--3.2k
8.CM690--4.2k
9.Corsair VX750W--8k
10.creative T6060--4k
11.Logitech Mx518--1.3k
12.MS Comfort Curve 2000 Keyboard--0.9k

Amitash's with the changes(in bold). THis is a perfect rig.

[damngoodman999]

ya everything gr8 , but the ATI cards are not suited for grafix purpose
-----------------------------------------

[ashu888ashu888]

^^
Agreed..

[comp@ddict]

^^^Then a GTX285, cuz GTX295 will get costly. But I think ATI's stream whud do gud for the purpose.

[ashu888ashu888]

^^

yup, a gtx295 will be way too costly, rightly said..
