2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans:40-50k

3. Planning to overclock?

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans:I have built all my pc since 2005

10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans:Mumbai, fine with online

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:I would like have more bling in my pc so a nice case worth 5-7k can be kept aside.

There is nothing like overkill for your usage (Gaming) and since you are spending 50k you would expect it to use for 3-4 yrs minimum I am slightly modifying Sunil's configuration according to your request

if you plan on building this system in january itself and are not willing to wait for new CPUs /cheap motherboards to launch first then

get the GPU first.. and don't go for 3gb 1060 variant..

Hang onto your graphics cards, as cryptocurrency mining spikes GPUs prices | PC Gamer

try not to go below Ryzen 1600 + decent B350 board , plus it also received a price cut officially recently so if you wait a few days you might save another Rs 2000 ( ask mdcomputers , vedantcomputers primebagb when will the price cut be implemented in india ) should be available for around 14,500 after price cut

go for 8 gb now , buy another 8 gb when ram prices fall in 2019 .. they are sky high now..

If its from reputed manufacturer, it is low and otherwise, high. Also depends on the exact model.

He says any brand. He mentioned galaxy, gigabyte. When i asked which one specifically, then he said he will give giga byte. After that i visited primeabgb and they had some oc edition of 1070 39.5k and and 19.5k foe 1060 6gb.

^19.5k seems really low for a 6gb 1060! If its legit,get it asap before they decide to hike the price.

Prime is saying 19.5 for 1060 6gb also.it was zotac. If prime is at 19.5 then there has to be lower somewhere.
Also do primeabgb bargain?

All the prices are included Gst or not . Plz Check first.
Which model is he mentioned single fan or dual fan .
That's a very good price of 6gb model.

My exact suspicion. Will check that out.
Also paying almost double for 1070 over 1060 for 40 percent performance don't make sense. I can upgrade sooner next time.

Ya I'm sure the prices are without GST. No way it will be that cheap with GST included.
Also yeah hopefully the price cut is implemented soon.
Ryzen 1600 has received $30 price cut so it should ideally go from 16.5k to 14.5k

Yikes!! Thats a drastic increase in the price. Good thing I bought the same card for 23.5k in Aug 2016. So now that nVidia GPUs are the new target whats left for a prospective PC gamer who is on the look out for a new GPU within 24-25k?

Looks like you part of Jay vs Teksyndicate beaf.

I finally got money today and going to buy it. But now i am thinking, does my i5 3330 need upgrade. And i came to answer no. Whats your opinion ? I might get my ram to 16 from 8.
I will get 1060 8gb and be happy with 1080p 60fps for atleast 3 years OR 1070 and possibility of running VR well ( i am thinking of getting oculus in future) and not look for upgrade for 7 years or so.

No idea about this Jay vs Teksyndicate!

Keep your i3 for now & wait for launch of new design processors immune to Spectre bug in next 2-3 years.

Get it registered on their site after which you will receive an email from Zotac,printout of that email is must for getting extended warranty.

I have done registration, did it before opening the box. but put stores address as address because it asked for company address. So this gives me extended warranty ? it says i am eligible for it from the link you sent. Or do i have to pay for extended warranty.

And as a revenge. i will be mining when idle. This card can give 5k a month.
W
Jan 21, 2018 at 7:11 PM
Extended warranty is free & I don't know what link you used before for registration but if it is not the same as link I posted then register it again & this time with your home address.

I am not sure how you can mine coins worth 5000/month using this card not to mention electricity costs of running the card.
