Overclocking a Intel is no more the fun it used to be. And then theres the heat tackling that is spending money on better coolers and what do you get after all that a minor increment in FPS. If your sole purpose is gaming keep the overclocking part a bit easy and invest in a better GPU like the R9 280x or R9290.Chuck the SSD off for now and also the watercooling. For a 80K pure performance rig those are sheer waste of money.

Its very confusing,your post. What do you want in Rs 80K please mention them in a clear manner.

ditch SSD and get Asus R9 290, change mobo with Gigabyte z87mx-d3h ~9.5k (did i've spelled wrong :p)
change psu with SS750-JS ~5.7k


OP first think 280x with SSD will perform better or 290 alone.
SSDs are totally waste of money, it just helps to load game faster.
In gaming all you need is GRAPHICS CARD along with processor (which won't bottleneck it- the only requirement), 4-8GB of ram, decent cabinet with good airflow, capable psu...and other standard part
whether you game with i7-4770k or i5-4330 with same graphics card performence difference is negligible, the fact is i5 will allow better graphic card within same budget:)

As per you are saying to invest in gpu but gpu are so costly here in india. 760 is some of the best so i decided to go fot this.
And for overclocking, please suggest any cpu (not unlocked) will give better performance than this cpu.
And water cooling can be neglected. I'm also thinking to stick to stock cooler.

^^ Thanks for suggesting it here. Actually now I wait a bit more for suggesting an AMD configuration, even though there are plenty of points to support it, just to avoid an AMD vs Intel war....that costed me a lot...you know it. Only suggest it when OP is asking it for explicitly or he has some requirements which can only be handled by the AMD config, within his budget. :)

Isn't R9 290 overkill for single monitor?
The Incinerator
Dec 18, 2013 at 12:50 PM
It is now but even now in games like BF4 or Crysis3 or Metro or the upcoming GTA5 with all eye candies to the fullest the card will be less stressed than say a 280 and in a years time it wont be the same when games will demand more and 4K desktop monitors will start rolling out from likes of Benq and AOC,with reasonable pricing. Moreover OPs budget safely accommodates the R9 290 with a very capable processor which has a valid upgrade path, overclocking capabilities and then theres this well built motherboard from A lister manufacturer,I see no reason why not to get the suggested configuration but go for a lesser rig.

Intel Core i5 4570 vs AMD FX 8350

Today’s programs and games are becoming increasingly complex. Thus, chipmakers are experimenting with multi-core processors in order to keep up. But does having more cores automatically equal to better performance? To answer this question, we’re testing the Quad Core Intel Core i5 4570 versus the Octa Core AMD FX 8350 to find out.

The 4570 is part of the Core i5 series, which is Intel’s mainstream Quad Core brand. It’s clocked at 3.2 GHz, with 4 threads and 6 MB cache. It also packs an HD 4600 for its integrated graphics; quite decent, but not suited for gaming. Thanks to Haswell’s improved 22nm manufacturing process, it’s able to run more efficiently, consuming only 84W TDP of power.

Its competition, the 8350, is part of AMD’s FX series which is geared towards multi-core performance. It has Eight Cores clocked at a whopping 4 GHz, with 8 threads and 8MB cache. Its multiplier is also unlocked, thus well-equipped for overclocking. But these specs come at a cost: it’s less power efficient at 125W; additionally, it doesn’t have integrated graphics so you have to buy a discrete video card.

Benchmarks show that the 8350 has the slight advantage: It posted 10% better results in Geekbench, and 21% in PassMark. To the 4570’s credit however, it posted a 41% advantage in the PassMark Single core test, which means that it performs much faster in a core to core comparison.

In conclusion, both CPUs are well matched and are suited to different scenarios. If you’re after a feature packed processor that’s easy on the wallet, opt for the capable performance of the AMD FX 8350. But if you’re after a cutting edge CPU that’s also power efficient, then we recommend the Intel Core i5 4570.

For RAm, Kingston hyperX Blu 1600 MHz will be better as it offers same performance to that of Vengeance, has same warranty period (10 years) but is ₹ 200-300 cheaper for 4 GB, so you'll save ₹ 400-600.

@OP Not to confuse you, but for you budget, Intel Xeon E3 1230 V3 would be much more apt. It's i7 without K & GPU, but gives rock solid performance at low power & possibly at low temperature too.

it was available at rs 2250 when ws retail was the seller. it went out of stock too quickly. if gskill is cheaper, then opt for that. it is better than vengeance,

It's available here. Though its named V2 there, but actually its V3. Ask local vendors and they shall be able to source it for you. These are server grade processors and have rock solid performance.

it is FCLGA1155 socket cpu and based on older gen ivybridge architecture.
E3-1230 v3 is based on new lga 1150 socket. both v2 and v3 are not same.

Yups, V3 is based on LGA1150 socket. That's why OP won't have to change board, just the processor.

It should be priced somewhere around 16.5K and it sure will be worth every paisa.

It does not have iGPU, so is it better suited for gaming also along with i5 4670k and also can we overclock it like the k series CPU?

hyperthreaded cores does not provide any considerable advantage in gaming as of now. i dont know about future games whether they support hyperthreading or so..
if you are going with discrete gpu, it is a far better option. whenever your gpu goes kaput, just get a low cost gpu at that time being.
it has locked multiplier, which means it can not be overclocked by changing the multiplier.

Which means as of now for gaming this CPU is not at all required.Thanks for clarifying my doubts.

^ because games do not Utilize more than 4 cores.

Hyperthreading get used when games need more cores - eg of Pentium g2010 vs i3 3220 in games like far cry 3

And games need to be coded for hyperthreading.

What's harm in being future proof? One will probably never have to overclock with Xeon processors.

yep the cpu will be upgraded after a long time and the recent new game releases like watch dogs and the division will utilize more cpu power so future proofing seems sensible

So this CPU need only H87 MB right?
bssunilreddy
Dec 23, 2013 at 4:41 PM
any lga 1150 socket motherboard should do.

Since Intel Xeon E3 1230 v3 is non k series CPU so any B85/H87 MB is good as Z87 is only for overclocking.I think Gigabyte B85M-D3H @ 6k is best.
Intel Xeon E3 1230 v3 is not available any where in India either online or offline.If anybody have any idea as to where to buy this please help me...
