hello,
iam building this gaming rig for myself.ihave given the conf below.please suggest any improvements if needed.
1.core i72600k 3.4gh- 19000k
2.asus P8Z68 VPRO-GEN3- 1500K
3.corsair 8gbddr3 ram-3000k
4.seagate 1tb hard disk-6000k
5.sapphire hd6950 2gb-16000k
6.coolermaster haf x-11000k
7.corsair psu tx850(enthusiast series)-7000k
8.dell s2420l-13000k
9.ups-apc surt 1000xli-9000k

buy cheaper cabinet monitor & crossfire HD6850

First of all add an extra "0" in mobo's price (and remove k's)

Now, which RAM are you buying?

And why not go for 7xxx series rather cross firing? CF = less efficiency as performance is not proportional to power consumption.

its not at all like that. currently cfx scaling is 1.9-2x single card.
you wont get anything better than this :wink:

Sory but,1k=1000 Inr

Seems like I have to update myself. But won't the power consumption be higher than single comparable card?

gamers bother about fps :wink:

performance also increases other than power consumption.

^I know that, but what I meant to say that, if power consumption increases by 2x, peformance never increases by 2x.

ATM, i don't think 6850CFX would be a good decision..

^ +1..

that power consumption, convert it into money spent on bill of both gpus and single gpu. and see how much it differs ;-)

Hmm..that's just a gamer's opinion for "that" extra fps. But if thought wisely, its not right option, especially when 7xxx cards are just in time.

My recommendation too goes for playing the waiting game. Waiting a bit more
Shouldn't hurt knowing that you will get THE latest gen cards

HD 6950 2GB is fine.

Why not wait for the Kelper series to appear? It may appear in a short while...

instead of corsair psu.. go for SEASONIC X-850 gold. it costs around 9500/-

You planning to overclock and mod your cabinet ? If not then you are over spending on the quoted components IMHO .

what would be the power consumption for crossfire ,is it worth it in terms of electricity bill,high grade psu and performance

do you really need the .coolermaster haf x-11000k
coolmaster storm or nzxt phantom

bye the way where to get this
sapphire hd6950 2gb-16000k
please give the details online or distributors address
