Changes (just suggesting):-
Intel i5- 3450k is an overclocking-friendly option.
A cheap Z77 based board like this ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard: Flipkart.com

Then gpu is good, psu is good..

Cabby should be CM Elite 431 for 4.5k or so..

Speakers should be F&D F680..

Keyboard and mouse MUST be Logitech G100 combo for 1.8k.. :) :wave:

The difference in rams is not much, but the gskill ripjawsx performes a little better than corsair vengeance.

HD7770 ( ~8k) performs better than GTX 650 bit costs more (11k)

For the cabinets, NZXT Source 210 and Gamma are really good for their price ( ~2.6k), they provide good cooling as well. But I would suggest to spend a little more and get Corsair 300R or HAF 912 Combat.
Also, good Cabinet with a good in build PSU are either hard to find, or are costly. So, better to buy them separately.

For the monitor, you can also consider Benq G2222HD @ 7k if you want to save up some bucks.

LOL !! Where does the GTX 650 cost Rs 11K ?? You are over quoting.

@ OP
Try and get a better GPU like the HD 7850 / GTX 660 for that kind of a processor based rig meant for gaming generally.That way the RIG will look more balanced.

1. There nothing as 3450k and 3550k. Only 3570k. K means the processor in overclockable.
2. Overclocking in mobos below 7 k is not recommended since thse boards wont be having robust VRM
3. Gskill and Vengeance 1600MHz modules are almost same.
4. Yes 650Ti is better than 7770... hence I said if you are not into OCing get 3550 for 12k and put in saved 2k in Asus GTX 650Ti OC@ 11.2k
5. You can order bitfenix through flipkart - BitFenix Merc Alpha: Flipkart.com
6. iball and zebs are bad :) if you are putting in 3k then why put your money in low level brands?
7. AOC monitor I suggested is an IPS panel LED display.

Guys... OPS Budget is 55k... so please balance it out and provide full config instead of suggesting change parts which costs more

Cheapest 7850 is at 13.2k + shipping + octroi... that would mean increase of 3 to 4k in budget... OPs max budget is 55k.

@OP - If you want to play games... my sincere suggestion is not to go for OCing and get a 3550 processor with 650Ti.

With 3550 procy you wont need a aftermarket cooler for cpu... your rig will look like this -

Better alternative for intel db75en is "Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H" in similar pricing or "ASUS P8B75-V" which would cost around rs 800 more.

Which non-oc card your are speaking of here at 11K ? You have two choices... MSI HD7770 which is non-OC at 8K or Asus GTX 650Ti which is OC. The thing is 650Ti is better than 7770... keep the OC equation out. :)

"Brand" of the cabinet dosnt matter it is the cabinet with a good pedigree which only the "brands" provide matter. Branded ones provide better cooling with Dust filters and cable management which helps the PC last llonger as it runs coooler with less intrusion of dust.

Better go with factory overclocked at minimum differences. If you are god at overclocking safely then yes.

An LED Full HD Dell has been suggested!

Better stick to a Quality Gigabyte H77 than a B75 of Intel which is made by Foxconn originally!!!

mandarpalshikar
Dec 15, 2012 at 9:21 PM
It wont affect gaming speed as the cpu you'll be using on both the mobos and ram and gpu would be same.
The difference is in build quality. Asus is ATX mobo where as intel is mATX. Result of this is that you got more expansion slots. Also asus has better audio chipset.

It wont affect gaming speed as the cpu you'll be using on both the mobos and ram and gpu would be same.
The difference is in build quality. Asus is ATX mobo where as intel is mATX. Result of this is that you got more expansion slots. Also asus has better audio chipset.

what about the LucidLogix Virtu MVP,GPU Boost and USB 3.0 Boost features in asus?
is it useful or just a gimmick?

also it is necessary for both motherboard and cabinet to have usb3.0 slot to get 3.0 speeds?

LucidLogix Virtu MVP is useful in some games. USB 3.0 boost is useful if you have USB 3.0 devices.

Mobos have two kinds of USB 3.0... the ones which are at the rear I/O panel can be used even if you cabinet doesn't have USB3.0 ports. But if your mobo has USB3.0 headers on it then you can connect them to the cabinet USB3.0 ports.

according to you will it be worth extra 1.5k?

LucidLogix combines the intel hd graphics of our processor and the external gfx card. Yes its good to invest extra 1.5k for additional benefits and keeping in mind future expansions / upgrades.

7870- would be out of budget i'm afraid. Lowest would set you back atleast 17k

you can go for 7850

Sapphire 7850 @ primeabgb.com for 14.7k plus shipping - SAPPHIRE HD7850 2GB GDDR5 Graphic Card
Gigabyte 7850 @ flipakert.com for 14.4k all inclusive - Gigabyte AMD GV-R7850OC-2GD 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card: Flipkart.com

Primeabgb is a Mumbai based Onlinse shop and they are very reputed in Online market place. But they don't provide COD at your location. Regrading Graphics card, Gigabyte version has a little edge over the Sapphire card due to slightly cheaper price and factory overclocking. However, try to get the cards locally first, Flipkart is sometimes overpriced for computer components.

hi all. I had created a thread earlier with similar queries as this "need gaming pc under 50K", and since i have gone through the posts here, I can very well assume the hardware needed for the same. Few more question for me, if i have no Overclocking in my mind,
1. if this Motherboard ASUS P8Z77-M -->11,000 could be lowered down a bit to a lil cheaper one.
2. If i could get a GTX660 2GB streching a bit more to 7850OC with the above save.
3. Would 4GB be enough as games like Far Cry3 has recommended 6GB.

The reason for GTX660 2GB over HD7850OC, that i read some reviews where 660 perfoms few percent better than the other in some games especially with FrostByte, Cry Engine and with Heavy Phyx. Is it too True to go for it?

i dont know much about it.the computer shop had ordered it from flipkart on my asking , he brought the card here and checked it.he took it back to check in other pc's in his shop, he tried in other pc's it still doesn't work.

I think OP should go with a Corsair PSU instead of Cooler Master PSU. If possible, try to replace that.

i know corsair is better but here it costs 5.2k,so opted for cooler master .shouldnt coolermaster 600 watts be enough for the card?

Best to try the gpu on another system.
Cooler master PSUs are sort of unreliable and you cant trust the power rating provided. Since a psu powers the whole system, its best to purchase a good one. -> Corsair

Fk has a 30day return policy. Try that.

got the gigabyte 7850oc card yesterday only.its working this time but in games there is a lot of shuttering ,updated the drivers but still problem persists.
for eg - it shutters in fifa 13 even when it shows constant 60 fps.
in sleeping dogs when riding a vehicle camera feels like constantly shaking giving a dizzy feeling after some time.

is there a way to correct it?

any suggestions ?
