Flipkart: ASUS P8Z77-M Motherboard: Motherboard

I came up with this:

CPU: Intel i5 2500K [Available on Flipkart for Rs. 12296]
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO [Available on Flipkart for Rs. 2233]
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-M [Available on Flipkart for Rs. 10134]
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 4 GB (1600MHz) [Available on Flipkart for Rs. 1646]
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 4 GB (1600MHz) [Available on Flipkart for Rs. 1646]
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB [Available on Flipkart for Rs. 5614]
Videocard: Sparkle NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560-Ti [Available on Flipkart for Rs. 13780]
Power Supply: Corsair GS700 [Available on Flipkart for Rs. 6000]
Case: Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced [Available on Flipkart for Rs. 6930]

Totaled to Rs. 58046 w/o Accessories & Monitor

Okay, let me reason out my selection.

The i5 2500K is an absolute beast, and when overclocked, is capable of giving the i7 2600K (older brother!) some stiff competition. I paired it with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO and the Asus P8Z77-M mainboard.

Moving on.... I grabbed two sticks of RAM (4 X 2 = 8 GB). Hey! It's cheap and it never hurts having more memory, though I'll be quick and point-out that most games won't even utilize three or four.

I picked a terabyte of storage space, because it's only Rs. 1000 more than a 500 GB drive. More bang for buck, right?

The GTX 560-Ti performs (roughly) the same as the HD 7850 in most games. I went ahead and chose it since the other isn't in available, yet.
Check out the benchmarks.

I got the GS700 from Corsair. It's 80+ certified and has adequate wattage to power this rig.

Lastly, I packed them all inside the Cooler Master 690 II Advanced case. I think it's pretty cool.

Phew! :lol:

Even after all that, you've got enough room to purchase the other peripherals.

Good Luck!

how about the msi hd 7850 , hd 7850 cards?

Better to buy zotac 560ti from primeagb cheaper than sparkle & wid 5yr warranty too :mrgreen:

help guys

^^ Regarding what? RiGOD has already suggested you a HD 7850 based configuration. Performance wise it is closer to HD 6950/GTX 570 with half the power consumption.

@OP the configuration by RiGOD is perfect. Go for it. Nothing much to help here :wink:

you are suggesting a 560 instead of the 7850 which is comfortably in the budget of OP. I hope you are joking

Wait for 660-ti. :razz:

we are months away from some decent availability (and launch)

Isnt the CM 690 II Advanced overpriced at 7k ?

There won't be any 660ti like the existing 560ti.
670ti would release in Q3,2012.

i am bent towards nzxt lexa s which looks better than cm 431 plus and nzxt source elite

Buy NZXT LEXA S !!!

Looks wise Lexa S is better but not performance wise, You can't insert any high CPU cooler like CM V6GT etc. inside Lexa S. Cheaper and better choice should be NZXT Gamma.

V

yup, agreed. gamma is a netter choice

hey if could increase my budget i have 4 choices -(i have decided on the basis of looks and performance , and noise is not a con for me)
1) - nzxt tempest evo (is it available at the nehru place)
2) - cooler master 690 II advanced (the rusting problem in the front )
3) - lancool k62
4) -corsair carbide 400r - does not have a transparent side panel

Corsair 400R should be your first choice.
Lancool K62 should be your second choice.

Gamersam said:

is ti a good deal
Cooler Master RC-690-KWN1-GP with Transparent Side Panel Mid Tower Computer Case - TheITWares

If you add the shipping cost, it is not a good deal. Otherwise it is a descent deal.
