Your Pricing is very inaccurate. Corrected prices. You are from Chandigarh and buying locally, so i have corrected the post with Local prices only. Contact me via PM if you need any help, I am from Jalandhar

First of all. i5 2500K + HD7850 + 24 Inch monitor cannot be had in a budget under 60k. You have to sacrifice atleast one of the above. Do it and post your revised requirements so that we can provide you with better configurations.

@Badmash: Think & let us know about the below config.

DELL ST2420L Led Monitor vs Benq V2410 LED Monitor

*i.dell.com/images/global/products/monitors/monitors_highlights/monitor-dell-st2420l-overview1.jpg

This config looks balanced & more suites your requirements but price is pretty higher.

Either compromise with 21inch monitor & 240GB HDD in order to reduce the final budget to your limits or increase the budget & go with the above.

Go with Benq G2220HDL 21inch LED Monitor - 7.5k
WDC 240GB - 3.6k

The above config is very good. If possible go with it.

About the config: The one given by d3 is pretty much balanced.
@pratyush997: Quoting price from flipkart is not a good idea as market price of the products are less than that of flipkart.

Hmmmm i need this combo for sure "i5 2500K + HD7850 + 24 Inch monitor" so i think i will wait a month more and be able to extend the budget to 70K xD

Looks all good bro, but asrock? Hows the performance vfm? And why everyone insisting on benq? may be i sound like a noob but what about samsung LED? No?

P.S. Budget increased to 70K

^ AsRock extreme series boards are of very good build quality. You can relay on them without any hesitation.

Buh hows this Benq monitor when compared to samsung and dell?

They are also Good Competitors to Brands like DELL & Samsung. You can trust them eyes closed.

Any better option? I can extend the budget if there is better choice for 24" Full HD LED then benq?

That model is Full HD LED Monitor. No need to look for anything else.

No monitors will provide swivel, Height Adjustment & Tilt Management stand. Not even DELL.

Colors are vibrant & no dead pixels or color bleedings like DELL. After Sales Support is good with BENQ.

I'm not sure about Samsung. But sure that, they don't have any models to compete with the above.

Ok Thanks

And any place in Chandigarh where i could get all these high end stuff? :/

BenQ is really top notch an one of the best monoitor manufacturers.

B

Ok thank you everyone, i guess i am going with D3P config within a month =]

Btw is the performance between 7850 and 7870 worth the increased price of the other? If yes then i rather wait and get 7870 after 1 month xD

^^ Pretty much no. An overclocked HD 7850 performs almost same as HD 7870, so the price difference isn't really justified.

You can view the performance results of the stock Gigabyte HD7850 OC version, a higher OC version of the same card, and HD 7870 here

BTW answer, this ^^ [bold letters]

If 7850 can be Overclocked, then Why the Heck you forgot that a HD7870 also can be Overclocked ??? Don't confuse the buyer, with such silly statements.

^^ Did I say that the HD7870 was overclocked? I was referring to the stock performance of HD7870 with overclocked HD 7850. Nothing silly. A 7k price difference which can be achieved with overclocking a lower model, isn't it a good deal?

Then people will say, overclock HD 7870 and get HD 7950 performance, and then you will creep up, WHY SHOULDN'T WE GET AN HD 7950 and OVERCLOCK IT? duhh?

Repeat "x" number of times till you reach HD7990 or GTX 680.

^ then why are we suggesting people to buy intel i5 2500k, when the stock performance can be achieved by a SUPER CLOCKED 960T, with 40% lesser price.

The Stock 7870 give 15-25fps more than a stock 7850. Now, whether that increased fps worth that 7k, will surely matter when you are hitting a GPU hungry Game & the amount of load on GPU varies between high Setting & ultra High settings.

Also bear in mind, OC-ing straight out of the box is not always preferable, until you want to void the warranty. Its a case, where you are running out of options & you wanted to squeeze that extra amount out.

There's obvious choice. 15k for HD7850, 22K for HD7870 and get 10 fps more, 28K for HD7950 and get 25 fps more. It's a matter of individual's choice, and budget.

7k For 10fps .....WTF????

10-15 FPS Sure sounds very less for 7k, but this difference COUNTS a lot when you play demanding games on high settings, it can become the difference between playable FPS and non playable FPS. Secondly the 7870 is Better at overclocking as it has more watts available to it, so it can be overclocked much better than the 7850.

except for CPU hungry games (Read skyrim, civ v or games that benefit very much from extra cores etc)
80% of the today's games will hardly give you much FPS difference when paired with an i3 or 2500k with a 7870/7850. So why doesn't one get the i3?

B

Lol still confused between between 7850 and 7870 :/

Badmash said:

Ohh yaar! Simple! You have 15k, buy HD7850, you have 22k buy HD7870, what's the confusion? Obviously HD7850<HD7870.

yaar its confusing cuz if 7850 can't run all games max at 1080p then its worth spending more money and get 7870. I just need future proof system for atleast 3 years xD

as you have mentioned that you are going to buy system in 1-2 months,
the prices are going to fall when you actually your system. 670 coming to India
is going to impact the prices pushing all cards 1-2k lower in coming month or two.

Nothing is future proof, if you want to keep playing games at ultra setting consistently, buy what you require today, and be prepared to upgrade later.

3 years is a very demanding period

S

HD 7850 can easily run all games max in 1080p graphite smooth. For 3 years only I think HD 7850 will be more than enough. Then if it lags, come back here again, we'll teach you overclocking

For 3 years only I think HD 7850 will be more than enough.

The world might even end in 2012
Nothing is certain, I would like to know defn of "graphite smooth"
60+ FPS at all settings high 2-4xAA is smooth

Crysis Released:November 2007
Heck even 2012 Flagship Single GPU cant max Crysis at 60 fps@1080p

that's why I used the words I think rather than I'm certain.

Graphite is the smoothest substance on earth thus making it better than butter smooth :lol:

I consider anything above 30+ smooth

lol i guess 7850 is enough

Mobo is not worth the money. It's got driver issues(as someone mentioned on NewEgg) and has only 4+2phase design which is not recommended for overclocking. Try to find the ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 or at least ASRock Z68 Extreme 3 Gen 3. If ASRock is not at all available then go for ASUS P8Z77-V. It's a little more expensive but it's a great board with great reviews.

Don't buy Sony drives, they go bad pretty fast. try to get the ASUS one from flipkart.

Corsair 300R is a good cabinet.

I've no idea about monitors

PS: You're being grossly overcharged for the RAM. I bought the exact same for 2000(though it was a pricing error on flipkart). Market price is around 3000 so it's still 1000 overcharge which is stupid! Also you're getting a real sweet price for the i5-2500k. Grab that first before the shopkeeper changes his mind

hmmm ok what about mobo n monitor ?

Then start trusting ASRock motherboards.. I think you should go for the ASUS GENE V PRO as being a bit over budget, its worth the price tag and is one of the best motherboards..

For monitor go with the same BenQ G2222HDL as its again the best monitor for the price I think..

Try getting Asus maximus iv gene z at 13k. It ir a z68 board and offers good features with high OCing potential.

asus maximus v gene is the only one available :/ is it not good?

No worry about budget, already extended to 80K now lol i just want the best xD

Getting system in 2-3 days now, still not sure about mobo (should i get maximus v gene?) and 24" monitor (benq v2410 is not available)

S

Get ASUS P8Z77-V period.

T

It is not at all necessary to go for a z77 board. A Z68 board is also fine for OCing. If you can extend budget to get Maximus v gene Z then no problem, else go for P8Z68-v or P8Z68-V pro. They'll be slightly cheaper than Maximus V.

i have the budget of 16k for mobo and i am getting maximus v in market for 16k. No problem about the budget all i want to know is if i can afford maximus v should i go for it or any better option then this?

Final config. i am going with :

Buy Asus P8Z68-V PRO/gen3 or Asus P8Z77-V/V PRO.

You will understand the importance of full atx board while installing more than one graphics card and a sound card. Space matters along with airflow.

Finally you replied

.. But coming down from maximus v gene the only board i am getting is p8z77 v Lx :/

i have the budget of 16k for mobo

As per your budget, Get Asus P8Z77-V PRO.
It is listed at flipkart @16.4K, market price should be lower than that. I don't know the exact market price.

Gskill Ripjaws 8GB 1600 fsb single module

Any reason behind getting that?
There are 4 slots in Z77 board, and if you even attach 4x4GB you will get 16GB which will be more than enough for any type of uses.
Buy G.Skill RipjawsX F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL (2x 4GB) @3K [It is 1600MHz]
You will save unnecessary spent 1K.

Hmmmm do i need external sound card for this board or on board sound is good enough?

Sony DRW-24B3ST

I don't like that DVD writer.
Spend 100/- more and get Asus DRW-24B3ST from Flipkart. Link

I've used several DVD writers, and Asus DVD writer served me longest (more than 1 year).
Used Sony, want kaput after 7-8 months, used LG, never lasted beyond 4-5 months.
Keep in mind, I write ~15 DVD/month.

Ok asus writer and the board v pro .. still the monitor left :/ anybody to help with monitor?

Anyone please suggest a monitor 24" led 1080p with 2 ms response time and HDMI port upto15K? (benq v2410 is not available in the market here)

I would suggest you to go to local market and search for the same specification made by Dell, Asus(Don't think you can find any), Samsung.

yeah asus is not available either, 23" samsung is available not sure about the model and benq v2420 is available. Quality wise samsung and benq same? Or outta both i should just go for 2ms response time?

But reading reviews online about v2420 i am getting this >>> Cons

Dynamic contrast is imperfect, poor static black levels, slight green colour bias in default settings

I think you should PM d3p about this.

Thank you

i hope he reply soon i am getting the rig tomorrow.

Is it fine, if you buy it from SMCinternational.in [New Delhi].

Then Click Here for the benq V2410.

TBH, SMC is a very reliable store, to buy from.

What?
At first I would suggest you to go through some sticky threads in Graphics card sub forum and post there if you have any query.

this is one of best reviews of many z77 motherboards look into it and decide according to availability price and vfm in india
