I have selected the following rig after research on the forum

intel i5-4440 -12500
Gigabyte B85M-d3h-5500
consair vengeance 4gb ddr3 1600mhz-2800
wd blue 1tb-3800
saphire r9 270x 2gb -14000
antec vp550p-3500
asus 24b5st dvd rw -1000
dell s2240l led ips 21.5''-8500
Cooler Master Elite 311 CPU Cabinet-2600
logitech mk200-800

total-55,000 rupees

I have a few questions

Q1 Is this rig good enough or it needs some changes?

Q2 Do i need antec vp550p or will antec vp450p do the job?

Q3 Is Cooler Master Elite 311 CPU Cabinet good enough or if better options available in this range please recommend

Q4 Do i need a ups? If so recommed a good option in budget

*www.digit.in/forum/pc-components-c...c-buying-guide-suggested-configs-2014-q2.html

check the 60k config, prices have come down and getting it locally would fit it in your budget. You can get Antec VP550P instead of Seasonic S12II 520W, if you want to cut down the cost a little.

the chosen components are good. instead of cooler master elite 311, consider deepcool tesseract available at same price.

- - - Updated - - -

for ups, apc 1100va ups.

C

Are there any advantages of deepcool tesseract over CM elite 311?
As i find CM elite 311 much better looking

Again is antec vp450p enough for this configuration or is vp550p required?

Unfortunately i can't afford apc 1100va ups as it costs almost 5700/-
will apc 600va be enough for backup for max 5 minutes after which the computer will definitely be switched off?
If not please recommend another ups under 3000/-

support for more number of fans. support for larger cpu cooler and graphic card. also it has 1 usb 3.0 port.
i recommend vp550p. there you have more room for additional peripherals. i dont think 600va will be enough under load. atleast get 800va selling for around 4k or a little cheaper. choose apc or cyber power(it is less costlier but is not bad too).

C

Is Elite 311 plus available in india it has usb 3 port
Cooler Master: Elite 311 Plus

And which 270x to buy?
Products in GRAPHICS CARD

How is a 4 gb ddr5 270x so cheap?

- - - Updated - - -

How about CM Force 500?
And Does this cabinet has only 3 usb ports or are there 3 usb ports on front?
Even my laptop has 4 usb ports

If only 3 can more usb ports be added later as 2 ports will be occupied by keyboard and mouse

270x is not really powerful enough to utilize the 4gb vram available. get asus dc2 as it offers 3 years warranty.
for the cabinet, stick with tesseract. to install k/b and mouse you have usb ports on your motherboard at the rear side. use the front usb port to connect peripheral devices like pendrive etc.

C

Thank you and can you please give exact model no. and cost of cyberpower ups as i am not able to find it.
and what about microtek MICROTEK UPS 800VA (mdp800+ - mdp800+ - - 4,175.00) will this suffice?

stick with apc /cyberpower. preferably apc .look for apc 800va.ask locally . shopping online will cause large shipping charges as these are very heavy. i dont know the quality of the output of the microtek ups. it might create problems with active pfc psu like antec vp550p.

CyberPower BU1000 UPS @ 4.4k

I think people shlould start suggesting ssds atleast for the operating system.. the kind of performance improvement they offer is definitely worth it.

ssd does not give fps boost in games and is not recommended by compromising core components like cpu,gpu etc.

C

ok thank you for your advice this is my final rig-

intel i5-4440 -12500
Gigabyte B85M-d3h-5500
consair vengeance 4gb ddr3 1600mhz-2800
wd blue 1tb-3800
asus R9 270X DC 2 TOP 2GB DDR5 -15000
antec vp550p-3500
asus 24b5st dvd rw -1000
dell s2240l led ips 21.5''-8500
deepcool tesseract-2600
logitech mk200-800
CyberPower BU1000 UPS - 4400

total cost - 60,400/-

the cost has overshooted and i hope i can find some parts cheaper
which shop should i visit in nehru place?

- - - Updated - - -

i will add ssd after six months just do not have the budget just now

consider aoc i2269vwm or aoc i2369vm for monitors. better than dell s2240l. you might get 22" one for 9.5k. else everything is fine.
no idea on shops though.

OP's budget is already shooting up by 5k and you are suggesting 11k monitor :lol:

@OP locally that rig should cost around ~57k

Is cost to cost reliable? and is it worth spending extra 1000 on aoc i2269vwm?

cooldude94 said:

yes for AOC I2269VWM, don't know about C2C, ask rijinpk1

Ask [MENTION=232182]2kool2btrue[/MENTION] . He bought the same from there.

using it for 1.5 year no problems till now except that it doesn't handle load of my GPU and immediately cut offs is it normal???

800va ups will supply 480W which is more than enough for your config at load. what plays here i think is the output from the ups which is not in 'good shape' for an active pfc psu to handle.

Yes. Lately they've been pretty good. VAT paid invoices. No problem with warranties either. I have the AOC i2269VWM and as [MENTION=135617]rijinpk1[/MENTION] pointed out, I did get it for Rs. 9545 (after VAT) from there. The unit was brand new, sealed.
Personally, the display on the Dell S2240L looks slightly more vibrant (probably due to the glossy screen?) but the AOC blows it away with the response time and the input ports(1 VGA, 1 DVI, 1 HDMI+MHL, 1 HDMI). They also throw in a couple of HDMO cables and a VGA cable as well. Also the monitor 1 has speakers which sound thin but are still okay to have and are basically as loud as laptop speakers.

If there's anything you need to know more about the monitor, shoot me a PM.

Oh, and these have no ghosting issues whatsoever. Played FIFA on it. Smooth as silk.

Your build is quite similar to mine what do you suggest for ups?
CyberPower BU1000 UPS or apc 800va ?

I've bought the APC 800VA. Its total output is 480W. I don't think I'll be using more than 360W at peak. Even if you add a GTX770 grade card later on, the total power drawn will still be close to 400 watts. Plus you have APC's no-nonsense warranty.
Got it for Rs. 4300.
I haven't tested the backup time but the switching is instantaneous. No problems there. Can let you know more after I receive my Cabinet, SMPS and HDD.
I have no idea about cyberpower.

C

so i waited a month to increase my budget and now the budget is 75k :lol:

I have decided on-

Intel i5-4460 -11000
Gigabyte B85M-d3h-5500
corsair vengeance 4gb ddr3 1600mhz- 2800
wd blue 1tb-3600
saphire r9 280x 3gb toxic - 23500
Seasonic S12II 520 - 5000
asus 24b5st dvd rw - 1000
AOC i2269Vwm 22''- 9500
cabinet - 6000
logitech mk200 - 800
apc backup-ups BR1100CI-IN 1100va- 5500

Total- 74200

Need advice on the cabinet in 6-6.5k

get corsair 400r or have a look at Cooler Master 690 III . get a good gaming mouse and keyboard later.

@op you should get the 620w seasonic psu IMO.
That toxic card is quite a guzzler.

I also liked 400r it is awesome for its price but i also wanted a side window, please recommend a good case with side window in 6000-6500
which is as good as 400r. I did not like the look of cm 690 and it has not got as good reviews as 400r

Please also recommend a good gaming combo, i saw cm devastator combo in 70k build is it good?

Yes will get 620w as it costs only rs 500-600 more and leaves headroom for future expansion

Unless you are loaded with ssd and hdd it shouldn't be a problem. I too have removed my hdd cage partially and it doesnt bother me.
You can check locally at nehru place at mass computers. 011 26411944 ; 26433100 ; 41306686 or 0124 4016711; 4016710.
He is NZXT reseller in delhi. He must be having it.

look at nzxt cases and its availability in your local stores. phantom 530/h440 etc are good, but a bit costly online. for the keyboard, get logitech g105 and for the mouse get logitech g500/g500s.

Is there a shop or place where i can get my cabinet's side panel cut and get a flexiglass installed ?
It requires use of dremel which i do not have. What kind of shops can do this work?

Because then i think i will go with a corsair 4000r and install a window later.

They call it Job Work. A job work is paid by the number of sheets to be cut or by square meters to be cut.For 400R it would cost around 1.5k for a laser job work.

you can use the molex converter and it is safe.

Will share images
So i can use one 8 pin pcie and one with molex converter on 2 different wires of psu as it will be the most safe method.

use the converter that came with your gpu .
