Hi [MENTION=128966]Drajai[/MENTION],

Take a look of this configuration, maybe it will fulfill your requirement.

Intel I7 -4790k for OC.
MSI Z87-G45.
Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB).
Samsung 850 pro-Series 256GB SSD.
WD Black 2TB for performance.
MSI GeForce GTX 980.
Seasonic M12II 850.

For Cabinet and Monitor, you can go with the any brand; based on your requirements.

Good luck

+1 to this. Just buy a z97 chipset mobo.
What others have suggested are really not the parts you want when u are spending 1 lakh. also gtx 970 is better at price/performance wise and since you are buying 1080p monitor gtx 970 is more then enough even with DSR at 1440p.

No need to spend that much for just 1080p gaming. Even the forum's 80k config will suffice -

At this budget you can get a i7+980 [strike]if you can skip SSD.[/strike]

i7 4790 - 21k
Asus H97 E - 7.5K
HyperXFury 2x4GB - 5.5k

Seasonic S12II 620W - 5.5k
NZXT Phantom 410 - 6k
WD Green 2 TB - 5.5k

TOTAL - 103k

But IMHO, GTX 980 isn't worth the extra 20k over GTX 970. Get a 970 and if you want, SLI when you feel you need to.

WD Green 2 TB - 5.5k is not at all recommended as it has high rate of failure.

forgot about Xeon. :p
anyways OP, i5 4690<Xeon 1231<i7 4790. The difference is very minute, so Xeon would be the better choice.

also Xeon 1231 has been launched, don;t get 1230, and well I havent seen many WD Green failures :|

so according to your logic, if someone makes a mistake, everyone else should do it too? :lol:
and the reason i suggested WD 2TB is because he is already buying a SSD for faster performance, and there's no WD Blue 2TB.

you took it the wrong way. people tend to suggest deepcool tesseract coz its good and cheap if u dont the mind the looks. WD green HDD are pretty good hard drives, i dont know why people hate and also dont know about its failure rate. I using wd 1tb green hdd for 3 years now without any issue.

ps: next time i wont quote and in return you do the same. its difficult to make you understand a point. also i dont relay on google before giving advice. i only tell things i have first hand experience in, if i dont something, i will ask and will not say anything about it.

Hi [MENTION=128966]Drajai[/MENTION],
Here are some options for MOBO, based on your requirements.

Asus MAXIMUS VII HERO
MSI Z97 Gaming 5

Both MOBO support the SLI and CrossFire technology that means in the future, you can add-on a second GPU card for performance, instead of buying a new MOBO or replacing a totally new GPU.

Overall, I like your PC build, but I also noticed that you are planning to get WD Green for the high end rig. As far as I know, the WD Green is used for data storage, or can be used as a primary HDD if your computer is for low-end computing, like word processing. If this is for graphic use like gaming or video editing, I would recommend either a WD Black or Seagate barracuda instead.

Good Luck.

Why go with a SLI Mobo if you are going with GTX 980. So go with the following:

everyone has different opinions lol

970 is more VFM than 980 and there's nothing a 970 can't handle on 1080p. So going with 980 is somewhat not reasonable. Rather SLIing 970, 'when' it can't take on something is one should do.
