Check out gameranand's 130K build topic, that should give you a head start into picking the right components.

First thing that comes to mind is, dropping the proc to an i5-3570K.

i saw that but his budget is 134k mine is 100k.

Processor Intel Core i5 3570K 13k
Motherboard ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 10k
RAM Corsair Vengeance 2.0 1600MHz 2 x 4GB 3K
Hard Drive WD 1 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive Black Edition (WD2002FAEX) 5.5K

Graphics Card 7950 24K (check out local prices, will be lower) Asus AMD/ATI HD7950-DC2T 3 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card | Graphics Card | Flipkart.com
I had initally put 7970 @37K, but that is more suited for multiple monitor setup, this card should be more than enough for any game.

Power Supply Corsair HX650 6.5K
Cabinet Carbide 300 4.5K

Keyboard - Don't know much about KBs. How much you planning to spend on KB?

Mouse Logitech Optical Gaming Mouse G500 3276

CPU CM Hyper 212 Evo 2K
Optical Drive ASUS DRW-24B3ST SATA 1040

Sub total - 72.5K.

You still have 27.5K to spend on monitor , speakers, keyboard and whatever extra you need.

Monitor - Size? You can get good 24" ones from 10K onwards.
Dell 24 inch LED - U2412 Monitor: Flipkart.com

Can get this monitor for 18K locally.

You can get a fancier case too if you have cash remaining.

@_AkasH_ tx for the post
just wanted to ask where are you getting these prices from

Those prices are from different Online stores which also has been discussed in Anand's thread.\

Here is my suggestion:-

Intel Core i5 3570K @ 14K
Arsorck Z77 Extreme 6 @ 12.7K
Corsair Vengeance 2133 MHz 4GB X 2 @ 4.2K
WD Caviar Green 1 TB (64 MB Cache, SATA III) @ 4.7K
OCZ Vortex 3 128GB SSD @ 7.58K
Deep Cool Ice Blade Pro CPU Cooler @ 3K
Sapphire HD 7950 OC VaporX Edition @ 24K
Corsair GS700 PSU @ 5.83K
Corsair Carbide 400R @ 5K
BenQ GL2250HM 21.5" LED @ 9K
Razer Cyclosa Gaming Bundle @ 2.5K
Corsair Vengeance 1500 7.1 Channel Gaming Headset @ 4.2K

Total: 96.75K

Well about the price. You'll get better price for CPU at TheITWares and PrimeABGB, HDDs are somehow cheaper at Flipkart itself.
The price of that RAM is from primeabgb.
Some prices are from a local store in Kolkata named "Vedant Computers" and they don't have any online portal so you have to contact them by phone.
Cooler Master Hyper is available at 2275 at The ITWares and 2191 at Flipkart but its unavailable right row.
And the price of that HDD is wrong Black Edition is available at 10264 INR at flipkart however if you'll get a SSD then you should opt for a Green Edition 2 TB which would cost you around 5.8K at flipkart.
For GPU prices see SMC International and PrimeABGB, they have good prices for GPUs.

About KB, you should get Logitech G110 which would cost you around 3K I guess and for mouse better opt for G400 as it would be somewhat cheaper and would save some bucks.

As for monitor, you can also get BenQ G2420HD which is also pretty good Monitor and I am currently using it, pretty good monitor I must say. Good VFM.
For Cabinet I would suggest you CM 690 II.

cilus dont u think that i should go for asrock z77 extreme 4 for mb and leave the gaming headset for the moment and get a gtx670

gameranand said:

can u tell exact price so that i can fix it in my budget

^^ Even if you keep the extreme6 and gaming headset intact in your config, you can still strike off the 7950 and get a 670 within 100k budget.

Get the following:

GIGABYTE GRAPHIC CARD GTX 670 2GB DDR5

Gtx 670 is faster and provides options for better high in game settings than a 7950 even after 12.11 release.

Check the following links:

just for information does graphic card depends on the monitor....?

^^ I didn't exactly get that buddy? Could you please be a bit brief?

I guess you meant resolution. If it is, then yes. As you go up the resolution values, the need of a powerful gpu arises.

The difference between a single gpu performance like a 670 and a 7870 might be negligible in full hd.
But as you go higher i.e 2560x1600, a single 670 performs lot better and cards like 680 and 7970 perform even better.

This discussion is for a single gpu setup.

ya i meant resolution
in short
if i will buy benq g2420hd which graphic card should i buy?

For your budget, 670 is the way to go. Its extremely powerful for fullhd resolution.
So is a 7950.

If you want best VFM then Sapphire HD 7870 or you can go for HD 7950 or GTX 670 also.
BenQ is available at around 9.5K at flipkart and at primeabgb its more than that so no need to mention that.
As for CM 690 II, The basic version is available with SMC at 4.5K and Advanced one with Flipkart at around 6K last time I checked.
You see selection of Cabinet is a very subjective matter, what I might love, you'll hate. Also look at NZXT and Lancool Cabinets as they are also quite good. Lancool K62 deserves a special mention, NZXT have quite funky looks, so choose as per your liking.

Intel Core i5 3570K @ 14K Confirmed
Arsorck Z77 Extreme 6 @ 12.7K .. how about gigabyte z77 ud3h
Corsair Vengeance 2133 MHz 4GB X 2 @ 4.2K Confirmed
WD Caviar Green 1 TB (64 MB Cache, SATA III) @ 4.7K would like at least blue or seagate barracuda
OCZ Vortex 3 128GB SSD @ 7.58K Confirmed
Deep Cool Ice Blade Pro CPU Cooler @ 3K does it give better performance over cm 212 ? how is deep cools ass?
Sapphire HD 7950 OC VaporX Edition @ 24K gtx 670 or 7950 confused

Corsair GS700 PSU @ 5.83K would like at least tx 650 or hx 650
Corsair Carbide 400R @ 5K Confirmed
BenQ GL2250HM 21.5" LED @ 9K thinking about g2420hd @
Razer Cyclosa Gaming Bundle @ 2.5K Confirmed
Corsair Vengeance 1500 7.1 Channel Gaming Headset @ 4.2K Dont need write know have creative 2.1 speakers will use them

Also i wanted windows 7/8 and a ups all under 100k :shock:

:shock:

7970 is way out of my budget dude...
can only think about 7950 or 670 atm...

DeepCool Ice Blade Pro does perform better than Evo with a margin of about 4-5C. So it depends on you whether you want to pay 700 for 4-5C or not.
Don't know much about ASS of DeepCool.
Hmm... As for UPS it would set you back for around 5.5K if you buy online as it would cost around 350-400 INR just for shipping.
Better to go with G2420HD as price difference is not much and you are getting 24" full HD monitor.

As for GPU I guess you can't get wrong with any of those after latest drivers, do keep in mind that AMD's DirectCompute performance is much much better than Nvidia. For Depth knowledge dig up my thread for Cilus's Article about those topics.

Read my previous post carefully, I was talking about 7870 not 7970.

@ N@m@n

About gpu, gtx 670 is superior than a 7950 in gaming. 7950 has better compute performance which doesn't make sense in your case.
And that 1k price difference between 670 and 7950 is well justified.

Read the links i gave before and decide. Either way, you can't go wrong.
My pick is the gigabyte 670 coz its faster out of the box in almost all titles.

AFAIK, G2420HD is a LCD Display. Although it is a great display for its value, I would recommend you to go with a LED Display and currently better models are available within your budget. Look for BeQ V2410 LED around 11.6K or AOC e2243Fw2 22" IPS Panel based display @ 9K. The AOC one is having better IPS panel compared to the TN panel of other displays within comparable price range.

And yes, Deep Cool Ice Blade Pro is better than Hyper 212 Evo.

hey guyz got the pricing today
i5 3570k + msi z77 mpower 29200
gskill 1600 mhz 2 * 4gb 2800
1tb wd black 6100
asus dvdwr 1100
logitech g110 2500
cm 912 4600
confused in psu corsair tx 650 5500 / hx650 6600
and gpu msi 7950 oc - 21500 / msi 670 - 26000 / saphire 7950 oc - 22500
....
pls help :shock:

:shock:

For PSU I would recommend HX 650.
For GPU I guess you can go for either Sapphire 7950 OC or MSI 670. You can't go wrong with either of them.

Just verified in Vedant Computers, the price of Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor X OC with Boost version is 20.6K + Vat. This version performs similarly as a GTX 670 after the new Catalyst 12.11 Beta 7 Driver release. I don't think you need to pay extra 5K for 5 FPS higher.
For PSU, TX 650 V2 is very good.

I guess with that price 7950 is a no brainer.

I guess with that price 7950 is a no brainer.

how is the ass of saphire...?

Please ask questions in proper way rather than posting like a community chat forum which is very hard to understand and not suitable for a Technical forum...This is not FB buddy. Consider this as a Mod Warning

how is the after sale service of sapphire...

Pretty good. I had a good experience with my faulty Sapphire HD5770 RMA. They just replaced it in 4-5 days.

Your Motherboard should be an Asus Maximus V Gene or an Asus P8Z77-V PRO. PSU TX650V2 is great and so is the GPU a HD 7950. I love the AsRock board and the features they are offering nbut if I had a budget like you would try to get either of the two for overclocking potential,stability and sound quality which are next to none at their respective price points.

T

here's my suggestion
asrock z77 extreme4@10.1k
g.skill 4gb*2 ripjaws @2.6k
corsair 400r@4.4k
i5 3570k @13.5k
seasonic eco 600w@4.3k fkart or a corsair hx650/tx650!!
Logitech g400@1.6k
a good kb for 600 frm Logitech
and a decent mouse pad
sapphire vapor-x hd7970ghz@31k
and a good 27" led display 1600p for 15k
speakers ..I don't know depends on you
those prices are from nehru place [costtocost and computer empire ]
actually this is my rig except hd7970ghz and psu
I've a hd7870 @17k and a corsair vs550@3.1k(actually it's a good psu, I was worried when buying this but it turned out to be awesome ftw)

and the price of hd7970ghz shud be around 28k-29k ..don't know fo sure but it's lower than 31k
ohh and add an Ssd I haveKingston v+200 128gb it's awesome and at your budget you should buy a Samsung 830 240gb
with a much cooler case (though I like my 400r) like cm690 or a nzxt phantom evolved
and corsair hyper evo 212+

i m getting these prices from smc and comp empire...
CPU - Intel i5 3570k 14200
PSU - corsair tx650 5500
RAM - Gskill ripjawsX 2 * 4gb 2700
HDD - WD 1 tb Black 6100
CPU cooler - CM 212 evo 2100
KB - g110 2500
Mouse - g400 1600
OS - Windows 7 HP 6600
UPS - Microtek 1kva 3900
Total 46300
i m confused between remaining parts so please suggest.... Motherboard, Graphics Card, Monitor, Cabinet all within Rs.53,700/-

Don't get Microteck UPS, instead get APC UPS. the 1.1KVA black around 5K is the best buy but if it is out of your range then try for the 700 VA (not sure about the exact power).

:shock:

1.1k more now i cant fit gtx 670 have to go for 7950

Take a 7950 and OC it.

dont you think that in future games features of nvidia graphic card like physX will play a huge role...

No I think DirectCompute will have better advantage. As for PhysX you can add a 2K Nvidia card which can perform as a physX card only and the other card as GPU.

where are you getting these prices...?

Vedant Computers - Kolkata
MD Computers - Kolkata
Cost to Cost - Delhi

The Incinerator said:
Vedant Computers - Kolkata
MD Computers - Kolkata

will they ship to delhi...?

MD will and so will Vedant but for Vedant contact Cilus he will tell you how to make payments. Vedant and MD both are reputed and has good service.

But dont get the cabinet shipped,shipping is way to high ,it wont make sense economically.

Maximus V Gene can be had for Rs 14,750!
Cabinet will be expensive at Rs 8200 in Kolkata elsewhere basically Antec is cheaper...eg Chennai.Get Corsair Instead as suggested.

will check prices in nehru place on thursday.....
by the way i m coming to kolkata next weak

....... so if prices are good can take with me...that too if airline alows to carry computer parts...

Prioritize on gpu and mobo while asking for quotations.
They are the major expenses and you will save some money if you purchase them wisely.
Better to purchase the monitor and cabinet locally.

Avoid anything in the hand luggage.

When in Kolkata if you need any help while purchasing just let us Kolkatans know. If free will gladly come down and help you!!!

Don'y buy from Cost to Cost. I heard they have some bad reputation. I think their service was discussed in this forum also as I read that but don't remember the name of the thread.

If you are coming within 29th of this month, I'll be there. The Incinerator , in fact we could have a small meet up.

^^ Sure.

gameranand said:

theoriticaly it is possible, but practically if you use such combination like 7950 with a GT520 as physx card overall performance in gaming will be less for example if you are getting 50fps with 7950 when you add the 520 fps drop will occur(you can think this as comparison to using two different speeded RAM, on use higher speeded RAM is limited by lower speed RAM).
so people who are considering to add a green card as dedicated physx processor,i'll suggest get atleast a gts450

@op don't worry about physx too few games use it. as gameranand said DirectCompute will have better future

If you a card anything starting from 9600GT or above, you won't get FPS drop. But in Game PhysX settings need to be adjusted to suit your PhysX card.

@the incinerator and @ cilus
i would love to meet you guys and i m coming to attend a wedding on 26th and will leave on 30th so plenty of time to shop.....

I think Maximus Gene is available with Vedant. Also try calling them I have given their numbers in a thread in shopping section. See that to get the numbers.

shall i call now or in morning

Well call them in morning after 10:30 AM as they would be in shop at that time and would be able to give to exact information. On a side note do mention that you are from TDF to get better response and of course it would also increase our Forum Rep.

sure will call him at 11 am sharp and tell them that we are from tdf...

hey guys few questions..
how many fans can maximus v gene support..?
is it worth buying 7970 vapor x over 7950 vapor x considering the price difference of 10k and also i will be using only one monitor @ 1080p..?
for monitor how about lg e2351vr and samsung s23a350...?

Buy 7950 vapor-x and overclock it to get the performance of 7970 Ghz. At the moment, 7950 is a great buy considering the value and performance it offers.

HD 7950 is pure VFM and enough for 1080P. But the you can't overclock the it that much to match 7970 Ghz edition, that is a overclocked version over normal 7970.

1. It doen't really matter actually. My motherboard have 6 fan support and I haven't connected a single one to motherboard because I like to control them myself. Anyway Gene supports 2 CPU fans and 3 chassis fans.
2. Better to go for 7950 as the price difference is not worth it I guess and for your need its more than capable.
3. Go for a IPS panel. Cilus has better knowledge in that area, ask him about monitor.

just talked to mr rohit :razz:

:razz:

he will give me quotations in 20 min..

Great! I am waiting for you to reply on prices . I want to buy a 7950 vapor-x as well if the prices are within my limits.

Cabinet : Corsair 400r =4700
UPS : APC Black 1100 =5250
OS : Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit=6950

Price include vat and delivery

Well including VAT and shipping charges, this is a real good deal. I guess that you are getting lower prices than Nehru Place right ??

i am getting exact same price but unable to find sapphire vapor x 7950 . instead m getting sapphire 7950 oc

If you take out the delivery charges ,they will turn out cheaper than NP,Delhi any day. Chuck out the Green HDD and get the Blue instead. Everything else looks in place otherwise.

ya had i been in kolkata i would have bought immediately

also in delhi vat is 5%

was thinking of wd black for 6100

^^ Good option.

Talked to Mr. Rohit from vedanta just now and they have quoted me a price of 21.8k(inclusive of all taxes) for sapphire vapor-x 7950 as well. I don't know if shipping is included or not(forgot to ask) but pricing is just extraordinary and I am gonna make the purchase by saturday most probably. Thanks to gameranand, they instantly recognized his name and were very cooperative once i mentioned that i was a TDF member.

@Naman Sorry for going a little off-topic on your thread. Since everyone was talking about vedanta so i thought I will mention my experience too.

no need to be sorry buddy
he was giving me shipping free

cheers to vedant for giving such amazing prices

Good decision.

21K for a 7950 is an amazing deal. Nice build.

Is 7950 < 670 <7970?

More like 7970 > 7950 > 670

7950 competes with 670.
7970 competes with 680.

Results and benchmarks vary from site to site, but mostly the amd cards edge out the nvida cards.

GTX 670 and HD 7950 offers same level of performance in both full HD (1920X1080, 1920X1200) and xHD (2560X1600). But HD 7970 offers better performance over GTX 680 in XHD resolution due to its 3GB Video Ram and 384 bit bus (680 has 256 bit bus with 2GB Frame buffer). In full hd, both are comparable. But considering that 7970 comes more than 3K cheaper than 680, it is very hard to recommend the 680.

@Naman Sorry for going a little off-topic on your thread. Since everyone was talking about vedanta so i thought I will mention my experience too.

The delivery charges will be around 200 bucks for 3 day delivery time. I had a chat with Mr. Tapan from Vedant who told me about the approximate shipment cost. But it might be lesser

@Cilus I talked to Mr Rohit and he offered me these prices-
Sapphire Vapor-x 7950 @ 21,850
Corsair carbide 400r @ 4800

All the prices are including taxes and shipping. I think these are mighty good prices. Have already deposited the money for cabinet(through online transfer). Will deposit 21,850 for GPU after 2:00 PM since ICICI doesn't take cash deposit before 2:00 PM.

Sorry for being a lil' off-topic..

But, if I wanna get my components from Vedanta, what are the payment options they provide?

^^ Fund Transfer to their account by cash/RTGS/NEFT.

@rohit 32407 where do u live?

Allahabad(U.P.) as of now .
