Cilus I was thinking of getting Haswell processor and along that I have logitech g400 and logistics k800 keyboard. Plus I also want a bit bigger screen if possible. And is the graphics card good to use?

Then get the AOC 23" IPS display, AOC E2343F2 which is around 12.5K now a days. For Haswell, at your budget only i5 4430 is possible which is not a K series processor and can't be overclocked and offers more or less same gaming performance of FX-8350 but has less multi-threading capability. Also, newer games like Crysis 3 which are optimized to use more than 4 cores efficiently, run faster in FX-8350.

For GPU, GTX 650 Ti is not really very good for 1080P gaming.

Cilus It's GTX 660Ti not 650Ti. Yes, Shadow it's a very good GPU, It can play any game at 1080p smoothly(Apart from Crysis3 obv).

^^ Thanks for pointing out. GTX 660 Ti can play all the games at 1080P with high or medium-high details.

Alright guys I some how managed to get a bit more out of my dad pocket. So now I can spend 65k so better specs are on the way now I guess. Can I get 660 sli in this amount can also spare 5k more out of my pocket.

Why do you want an intel config?

AMD config :

> costs way less.
> Overclocks way better.
> is way faster in multhithreading.
> is more future proof.
> provides equal gaming performance to an i5 4570k.

Actually I have never used any amd machine before so a bit unsure regarding this setup. All the computer be it laptop or desktop used in my family is of intel. So I was bit inclined towards Intel but if you say so I can try to convince my Dad for this setup. So I think the rig will be going to cost 72 approx with SLI.

My suggestion is that sell of your brother's Zotac GTX660Ti 2GB AMP Edition and get a Zotac GTX760 2GB AMP Edition for 23,000.OK.

$hadow said:

No, You should sell your GTX660Ti and buy one GTX760. That means GTX660Ti SLI = GTX760.OK.

If I have to get only one so I can get 770 why only 760. But I want more than 24 inch screen. What should be a good selling price since it is not under warranty.

Buddy, didn't get you. GTX 660 TI SLI is far powerful solution than a single GTx 760, it performs like a Titan.

Yeah that is what I am asking him that "will a single 760 be able to go over sli 660."

+1. buy a cooler when you want to overclock.

Yeah will include one cooler later. But I want a 24+ screen. But on second thoughts why don't you include one cooler straight away.

OP, please do not sell your Gtx 660ti. It is a very good card and can handle any games at ULTRA settings including BF3/AS3/CRYSIS 3
Yes you heard it right even crysis 3 View attachment 12141

Save the extra cash and buy another GPU after a year or two when the new technology comes up because the 660ti can handle games at ULTRA settings for a long time.

I got it now. I was of the opinion that GTX760 was powerful than gtx660Ti SLI also. OK. Now I can clearly understand.Thanks anyway Cilus.

660 ti sli can beat titan too

So go for it (Y)

Looks like I have got my final rig with sli so now I also need a mouse pad for my G400 and along that a dongle with windows 8 support.

Get the Razer Goliathaus Mouse pad (mid sized one). AFAIK, all the USB Wifi dongles from Asus, tpLink, D-Link, work with Windows 8.
