its bad due to -
bad psu
bad case

if you want a 6970 then i recommend -

@jassgrewal
2nd rig is a better one to go for

C

hey better get 1600MHz ram.1333 is a bit more slower

Didn't we just have a thread for a 65K rig a few days ago? And Jas created a comprehensive guide for almost all price ranges.

anyways, this is just my suggestion and I know there will be people who will jump on me for this, but I don't think that for casual gamers, spending so much on a gaming keyboard/mouse makes sense. Unless you're the kind who frags at LAN parties or take part in tourneys regularly, you won't notice the difference between a 300 Rupee and a 3000 Rupee keyboard.

I am not talking about aesthetics, because I am color blind when it comes to value lol

So if you skimp out on that and opt for a regular mouse/keyboard combo, you will be able to use that money to either get yourself a CPU Cooler or upgrade the hard drive to 1TB.

The 2500K is an awesome CPU that is wasted if not Overclocked. And to ensure stable OCing, you need to replace the standard Intel fans . Just my two paises worth.

Plus, you have to factor in the price of a genuine Windows Disk, which will easily raise the overall cost by 5-10%.

^what??
you want to say TVS Champ and Razer Arctosa have no difference except aesthetics??

J

is it important to have a good case?
plz suggest me some good coolermaster psu
is my lg monitor is ideal for gaming

you have been recommended a Seasonic S12II 620w Bronze PSU by Jaskanwar.

Good PSUs and Cooler Master - these two words don't go hand in hand. (except Real Power and Silent Pro series)

case is the house of your components..if you feel you need a good house to live then the components need a good case for them too!!
if you wanna spent 8.8k for screen why lg2240 get dell st2220L
corsair/seasonic psu is better than CM..if you prefer CM only for psu get CM real power/silent power

J

is it a good deal to buy ati 6970 or should i buy 6950 and oc it
can 6970 also oc

yes of course you can oc both. but 6970 better deal.

J

thnks guys !
jas i had checked ur review on dell st 2220l 21.5 and i think i should go for it ?
how much will it cost to me

^its a good monitor. available at 8.7k.

my suggestion

any reason of preferring ATI card over NVIDIA, and do u need a UPS or no plz mention

J

the reason is that in range of 20k the competitor of ati 6970 is gtx 570 and 570 slight slow than 6970 and the gtx 580 is out of my budget

@ jaskanwar just curious

im not a geek still learning abt stuff from u guys

@ jassgrewal do u need a UPS

yaar no problem. leave it. forget it

J

yeah i need a ups 800w

nah.. Get a 1KVA UPS from APC.. they will cost more but are worth the money.. can't tell you the exact model..

game-freak said:

because it is better than GTX 570 in the long run.

J

i hav checked out cm eXtreme Power Plus 600W psu is it good for my cofiguration?

jassgrewal said:

It is perhaps the worst PSU you can buy. Avoid it at every cost.

Only go for what has been suggested above.

J

SeaSonic S12II 620 is not available in mine area but i m able to get cm elite 430.plz suggest
any other alternative for psu

Try ordering from here: Seasonic S12II 620w Brone @ TheITWares

Reliable website. You can go for Corsait TX650v2 if you are able to find it.

And please don't go for Cooler Master at any cost. You have been warned regarding this.

J

thks ico for ur advice im not going for cm psu but plz tell me price of Corsait TX650v2

around 5.8k to 6.2k depending upon places

price for tx650v2 is 5500 rs

Awesome man ! :number1:

Also u can consider GTX 570 twin frozr & Asus GTX 570 direct CU II - If OP like(just an opinion anyway HD 6970 is superb card)

J

i think CM Elite 430 is better for me than 690 and its price is also less

^^yup it's good case...check the Review

J

plz suggest me some good Corsair psu for my rig with price

why u want to change psu?? Seasonic is good...

gamefreak's suggestion is good enough
seasonic 620 @ 5.1k>>corsair vx 550 @4.6k

rest your choice

J

actually seasonic is not available in mine area and corsair is available .is cm elite 430 really cost 2.5k ,my assembler told me it is of 3.5k

3.5k is way too overpriced..upto 2.8k can be accepted!!

J

hey guys today i finales my configuration and i got the prices from the assembler plz comment about the prices and spec

corsair 650w v2 +cm elite 430 cabinet =7500
monitor dell st 2220m = 9400
i5 + mobo 60 series{i dont know exactly but he said it is of intel and in 60 series} =18300
dvd rw = 925
k + m[wireless] I ball = 1500
gpu sapphire 6970 2gb = 20000
ups microteck 620 w = 1800
4gb corsair 1600mhz heat sink = 3200
1 tb = 2850

total= 65475

jassgrewal said:
ups microteck 620 w = 1800

It would be a little better if you get APC 600 VA UPS at the same price

I think the guy is looting u.

CM 430 Shouldn't cost any thing more than 2.8k. I think the dealer is quoting the price with side transparent. So, check it properly.
Also as seasonic is not available, so better get VX-550 at 4.5k. No use of getting a 650W PSU as u VX-450 will be sufficient for ur GPU.
BTW which PSU is ur dealer suggesting. Give the specific model.

Monitor's price is something OK but would have gone down by 200-300 bucks. But thats still fine.

Which CPU+Mobo is he talking about. Ask him to specify the model correctly. I hope he is quoting a P67 Combo. But still get it specified correctly.

J

he is giving cm elite 430 for 2.5k and vx 650w psu fro 5k .He told me to have cm extreme 600w but i change my mind to corsair
will this p67 will be fine for me?
i will take down d price to 65k

A DVD RW now a days wont cost anything more than 0.9k. Even DVD RWs sell for 0.8k is some places. So, good brands like Samsung, HP, LG, LiteOn, etc will cost not more than 0.9k except for Asus which sells for 1k at max.

A wireless KB+Mouse costing so much from brand like iBall is acceptable. Better get a logitch Wireless combo for 1.2k. It will be much better option. Else look for MS wireless combo. You can get for 1.4k at max. It will even be a good choice too.

GPU price is some what correct. So no comments on it.

Yes, at that price point get a APC 600VA UPS instead. It will be much better. But microtek will do too if APC is not available.

A corsair 4GB DDR3 1600 MHz with heat sink costs not more than 2.5k. So, check its price too.

And a 1TB HDD from WD or Seagate coists 1.7k at max. It even sells for 2.4k at some places. So, again check its price with ur dealer.

Then its perfectly fine. Also bargain with him for the prices of other components.

Also, plz be specific which i5 and P67 he is quoting. Give the exact model.

Which p67?? Asus/gigabyte/intel/msi?? And which proccy?? K or non-k??
Just ask for all boxes and note down model numbers properly...and share here..so that all we will get exact idea of what that dealer is giving...

@saswat, 1TB HDD at 1.7k?? I think it should not below 2.6k...were u mentioning about 500GB??

J

he said it is of intel and will be of rs7300 and what is proccy

jassgrewal said:
what is proccy

It means processor

jassgrewal said:
he said it is of intel and will be of rs7300

Specific model name/number please

OP,
buddy there are many intel processors and motherboards. So, get the exact model no. from the dealer.
BTW does he not have any other brand's P67 motherboard.

J

i will confirm mobo exact model no ,and does ups 600w would be sufficient for me and should i change my psu to vx 450w

For a price tag of 7.5k VX-650 + CM-430 is a perfect deal. No, need to change it. But confirm the Processor and Motherboard model no. correctly.
Also ask him if he has / can get any other brand's P67 mobo.

J

hey guys the motherboard is intel DP67BG and the kit price is I5 2500k + mobo =18300
is it is good for my configuration

jassgrewal said:
,and does ups 600w would be sufficient for me and should i change my psu to vx 450w

Yes, thr APC 600 VA will be enough

^^APC 600va wont suffice...
Get APC 800va

jassgrewal said:

Great price...

J

is ups comparability is measured on backup time or more watt means more power to the system

APC 600va delivers 360W.. If ur pc is utilizing more than that, the UPS either goes off instantly or gives a overload beep...

APC 800va delivers 540W which is a safer option...

J

thanks guys for ur support,this site is really helpful .i didnt know too much about psu and mobos but u guys guide me step by step .my rig is completely based on the cofi. in the threads .Now i had given the order and shall receive my rig within 2-3 days .thanks all

^^Most welcome buddy... Do post the Pics HERE

J

i m having a little confusion on intel DP67BG MOBO ,is it a good mobo or should i change it

^Get it eyes closed....
