Please be a little specific. 50k to 1.7k is a huge range.

PS: Does this include the cost of buying the adobe setup ? :-?

I wanted to know if you are willing to take the risk of liquid leakage. I don't know the state of present liquid cooler (and their leakage), so let someone comment on that.

No we already have multi-user license !!

People one general Question
Will it work ?? i mean 1.79 is huge amount
also i dont see a UPS suggestions

Thats the exterme end of your budget. You can cut down considerably ,by going for a lower Quadro,CPU, Mobo ,Ram, PSU and SSD but,will that suffice your workload thats the question.

How about dual processor Mother board ?? wifi sifi stuff dont count for me i want pure and pure processing along with the quadro

WiFi is not the highlight of that board its a proper C606 based workstation board,serious processing power there.

Anyways for LGA 2011 Dual Socket look at these.....but will end up costing a packet.
ASUS Z9PE-D16/2L SSI EEB
Intel S2600CP4 SSI EEB

my my my...thats awesome boards .. ok now comes the stupidest question .. INDIA MAI MILEGA YEH SUB ??? (are these available in INDIA )

Ask Rashi. They import them. Is hard to find with retailers. Or you have to get them from the US. Try Supermicro too,they also sell some good boards in India.

btw i found these guys yesterday Overclockers Zone Kolkata based ..check it out

They are actually Tirupati Enterprises,quite familiar with us ,living in Kolkata!

V

Get 3930k for 30k
Asus p9x79 pro for 20k
Thats the perfect cpu+mobo combo in your budget.
Dual socket motherboards cost a bomb! They will singlehandedly kill your whole budget!
Do you have space constraints? Else its not advisable to go for liquid cooling as they perform similar to air coolers despite costing twice as much.
Air cooling recommendations:
Cm 212 evo\ plus
Noctua dh n14

I Think you meant Noctua NH- D14 ?? Dont suggest, confuse and harass peolple in to something thats not available in India at the moment or super overpriced.

get the Deepcool Assassin instead. Costs 5500 INR and performs very close to the NH D14.

A small typo is harassment?
Well theitwares imported a sidewinder x4 for me and he will have to go to the biggest resellers for these componenets anyways so whats the harm in suggesting. And I saw noctua personally wazirpur!
And you pay for the best, leave it at op if he wants it or not.

It is, you are confusing everyone in this forum. Every post. You suggest him D14 with your shallow knowledge , he goes looking for, dosnt find it anywhere cosmes back again and posts the unability when it is a wide known fact the D14 is not available for some time now!!!

V

That is why I suggested 212 too

vaibhavs800 said:

Nothing as such

V

Then go for air based coolers. Water cooling is good for cpus put in cabinets etc. Where airflow is not optimal.

^^ Liquid coolers are for better performance and a decent one costs a lot more than an average air cooler.
I dont think cabinet size and bad airflow is a criteria for purchasing liquid coolers.

V

It has been prooved numerous times that air cooling solutions are as good aswater ones. Nitrogen ones are best do you advice to go for that. + I dont think op will be overclocking cpu much, and abasic evo will do for a 3930k as it is sandy bridge based it generates less heat and overclocks higher than ivy counterparts.

^^
People use liquid Cooler in Workstation to keep noise at bay in the very first place.Get your basics right. I have hardly come across serious users overclocking a workstation , stability and software/driver profile instability comes in to play,so.

V

Then you must know that liquid coolers produce noise too and are only marginally silent than air ones without going over the top.

LOL.
Have you tried a Corsair A70/Noctua in full swing with an H80i in medium? NAh.....try em and come back before making loose comments.

V

I submit man you have just too much spare time. I saw a comparison at anandtech.com or tomshardware.com. Will give you when I have time.

See mate its not a war, what you are saying can be true too. But generally a WaterCooling kit is always silent over Aircooler.

Some of the rates look quite reasonable. Anyone bought anything from here online ?

Tom's Hardware US
Hope it helps you op.
Water pump make noise too and its just not worth investing that too in India where they will be costly due to low demand.
I think cm 212 evo/+ is the perfect choice for this rig.

Another one

I had bought my TX850V2UK for Rs 6600 home delivered ,from them. But that is when they were sole importers of Corsair PSus.

Reliable? Very.

6.6k for tx850v2 is a great price.

Nice price for a high end PSU

Yeah,Thank you.

just got off the phone with HP and they were suggesting HP Z820 workstation !!

It will be way outta budget for you when compared to what you can get in terms of an assembled one. But yes the HP will be there for you with a support system that wont be possible otherwise.
