I knew you guys would surpass my specified budget that's why I've got 50,000 bucks extra. Just in case...

Though I am curious to know how much does the predator costs

desiibond · 24-05-2008, 08:58 PM

With such a budget, Best way is to get assembled. You will vast array of peripherals to choose. And dominator's config looks terrific.

And I had cooler master ammo in my head

gxsaurav · 25-05-2008, 12:40 PM

There is nothing called a killer gaming PC. You want something to play games flawlessly then buy a 24" LCD Monitor & XBOX 360/PS3 & play games at HD resolution.

xbonez · 25-05-2008, 12:54 PM

^^ thats a much argued topic

I am asking for a PC config not a console. And yes I know there's nothing called a killer gaming PC because PC's can't kill. It's just for saying...relax

^^ So? The brand still exists.

xbonez · 25-05-2008, 02:29 PM

and acquisition of Alienware by Dell is quite old news

dOm1naTOr · 25-05-2008, 02:40 PM

its almost 1.5yr old news..

and these has been incidents where some gamers lost lives by continuous gaming w/o food or water for days in Japan. So a PC can be a killer sometimes, especially gaming PCs.

Thanks for reminding me that. Even a Korean guy died playing continuously for days.The title KILLER GAMING pc has become quite literal now.gx_saurav should see this.

By the way dOm1naTOr can you suggest some motherboards supporting ATi. You gave me choices for everything except the motherboard. Thanks for the config

.

bhanja_Trinanjan thanks to you too

dOm1naTOr · 25-05-2008, 05:59 PM

A 3way SLI is not advisable coz under 3way SLI, the mobo chipset gets extremely hot and you will also need a very high rated PSU like a 1KW.

@bhanja_Trinanjan
ur config wud go much higher that 1.5lac
QX 9770 30k+
790i SLI Ultra mobo : 25k
9800GTX*3 : 60k
1kW Corsair HX: 15k
4GB DDR3 : 15k
2*WD Raptor 320 10k: 20k

So the budget exceeded even w/o a monitor nd some other major components.

A better rig under his budget wud be
Q6700 or Q9450 : 12k or 13k

Abit IX38 Quad GT : 11k
or Abit IP35 Pro : 9.4k

2*2GB DDR2 800 G skill F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ : 6.2k

8800GT*2 MSI : 24k
or HD 3870 X2: 22k
or use ur current 7900 nd wait

X-Fi Xtreme Audio: 4.2k
Logitecg G-51 5.1: 11k

rest u can sum it up from previously given config

And once again thank you dOm1naTOr and MetalheadGautham

MetalheadGautham you said Mac OS X as OS. Are you pointing towards that "kalyway mac os x"

I wanted to know if it is always necessary to apply thermal paste. Because most of the guys assembling PC in here don't use it.

dOm1naTOr · 26-05-2008, 08:38 PM

Get DVDRWs from different brands so if some disc has sompatibility issue, the other drive can help u. Get a Samsung or an Asus.

And i think Logitech G11 keyboard at 4k will be better than the MS Reclusa.

And Lotitech Z5300e has been discontinued. If u are lucks u can find one stock on some store.
Also consider a good CPU cooler, and thermal paste like MX-2.

And the ny gud speakers[10k+] will sound dumb w/o a sound card. Gte atleast the Creative X-FI Xtreme Audio for 4k or X-FI Xtreme Gamer which might be some 3~4k more expensive.

BTW, MSI 9600GT comes for 9k. U can get two of them in SLI for 18k.

joecobra1968 · 26-05-2008, 09:04 PM

yah i went with the g11 keyboard,i ordered the g15 and didnt care for thr layout,im currently in the middle of a build, i have EVGA 780i mobo/4 gigs ocz reaper/2 evga 8800 gt 512s for sli/ultra mid-t case /ultra 750 x3 psu/75gig raptor/cybra sniper laser mouse/ only thing i cant really decide on is q6600 or q6700 is only about $15.00 usd more.but its on back order and i wont get it for another week or so!the guys has the q6600 right now. he says they are about the same, are they? oh i forgot to say i have the thermaltake bigwater liquid cooling kit as well so i want to overclock.! and no i cant afford the q9300 or anything else but the q6600 or q6700 thats my only 2 choices,so i need to know can the q6700 go to higher stable overclock? much thanks! good site 2 by the way!

dOm1naTOr · 26-05-2008, 09:31 PM

@newneo
BTW, y waste money on a 9600GT now if u already have a 7900GT to hold the horses till next month ?
A 7900GT performance lies b/w an 8600GTS and 9600GT. Dun waste money now, instead go for HD 4870/X2 next month.

I suggest u to put the good money for a more powerful PSU like Corsair HX 620 for 6.5k or get a Seventeam from US.

I will buy my rig in mid july( 08 ). So I can wait wait till then. But if I buy the HD 4870/X2 won't I need a different mobo.

Please suggest one nice mobo for HD 4870/X2. Thanks
