Hi Friends,
This is my first post and after going through the suggestions given by you to other members, I feel I am at the right place. All though I am a bit techie have done this hardware stuff close to around 8 - 9 yrs ago I am not abreast with the current market trends.

I intend to build a very high end rig primary purpose been gaming and then few other apps viz PS, VMWare, VDO Editing and Rendering.

I was about to buy the system today and then one of my friend guided me to this section of the forum, hence appreciate your valued inputs and suggestions..

Here are the answers to the questions as requested :

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run?
Ans: Games at Ultra settings as listed below :
MS FSX, xPlane 10, GTA V, Crysis 3, Assassins Creed Series, Counter Strike 1.6 :wink: , Hitman Absolution, Far Cry 3, Deus Ex Human Revolution, NFS Rivals and at times Grid 2.

Applications : Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Creative Suite and VMWare Workstation with approximately 10 Workstations which will run my Lab (Though this will be turned off or in Hibernate when I play games) apart from this general web browsing, MS office and casual stuff.

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 3.5 to 4 Lacs (Just the CPU)

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Yes

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7 Pro - x64

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans:256GB SSD (Primary and OS Drive) / 1TB x 3 (Data Drive - Preferably Raid 5 if its available in Desktop class systems or else 1 x 3 TB)

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: Yes, however it has another budget. 3 x 1080p or 3 x UHD I don't know much on current available one's.

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: I will have to buy everything I got nothing... :)

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: ASAP - I can close this today if I get relevant suggestions and recommendations

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Yes, however I would like someone else to do it for me this time ..... :wink:

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: Bangalore, I can buy locally or online either ways it works.

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Based on my research and the limited knowledge that I have, I have come up with the below configuration I would appreciate if you gurus can append your suggestions and recommendations on the below.

Two GTX Tiatan or 780TI is overkill for single monitor...
For this budget Why not multi monitor Gaming setup ?

Seasonic X-SS850KM3 - 12820
WD Caviar Black 1TBx3 - 18000 (Data Drive)

Thanks man the second option is totally out of question as I want an extreme processor, so basically this is the config that even I shortlisted however I can see that you are suggesting for Seasonic PSU and Caviar Black 1TB x 3 for the data drive however can you please let me know :

Will I need to purchase additional Raid Controller or does the MB supports Raid 5 for the data drive (1TB x 3 WD Caviar Black) ?

Seasonic 850 is complete modular however the total Output will be 850watts, will it be sufficient and future proof considering I have two titans on the board ???

1. 780Ti has 3GB Memory per GPU will it be sufficient for some really high loads on a UHD or a 4K resolution monitors ??
2. I was doing some research around Corsair Dominator Platinum - It is 2600Mhz will the Rampage IV extreme M/B support this ram and secondly is there any substantial variance in the performance between the Ripjaws Z 2400Mhz and Dominator Platinum ?
3. I might think about the cooler however at the moment I am more convinced with the H110 :)
4. I still like the Cosmos II ultra cabinet looks trendy :-D :razz:

It will be a multi-monitor setup, I intend to purchase 3 x 4K resolution UHD monitors... :) please suggest any if you know.

I can even manage 3 x 1080p 27" Ultrawide IPS trendy panels, however my minimum criteria is 1080p.

I know the cost difference between the two will be quite high.

Frnzzz a quick question :

In india GTX Titan is supplied thru two channels Asus and Zotac which one would you guys recommend in terms of technology readiness, after market cooler installations, post sales support and I know there might be a slight cost difference as well..

Is EVGA available in the Indian market ?

Guys also is my choice of Mobo future proof and a good one... (Asus Rampage IV Extreme 64GB) or can you suggest alternates...

I was also looking at Asrock X79 Extreme... any comments ?

obviously you have the money to burn so why asking about futureproofing.it is like someone asking about future petrol prices after planning to get a ferrari.if you are worried about future proofing you won't spend 4 lakhs on a gaming rig.

well, honestly its just to ensure the Mobo supports trends and technologies 1 or 2 yrs down the line... and i need not do the research exercise again or look at updating (not upgrading :) ) the components ... probably by then my son will also start using this Rig :)

Don't go with GTX Titan, it is a waste for that price. Get gtx 780ti or r9 290x instead.

FSX is heavily CPU dependent so I would suggest you i7 4960x and a good cooling kit like Siftech H220 so that you can overclock it to atleast 5 GHZ if you are planning to use ORBX scenery addons and PMDG 777 simultaneously.

Except FSX, all other games would be raped on stock CPU.

Well said.... 4960X is confirmed.... what bat the Mobo..

Actually you and prashant both suggested 780Ti and based on some more research that i did i think i will go for 2/3 x 780Ti m getting one asus 780Ti for 56K so it saves a bit of my cash as well... effectively 780Ti is also finalised unless someone gives me a real convincing reason for titan. :)

Thanks all for the help so far....

^ above rig is more than enough for gaming

no need to waste your money on 2 x titan or 3 x display..

you cannot notice a single difference in games between single 780ti and titan sli

Make a pc around 1.5 lakh..believe me it is enough

Well Said ashish but the challenge is FSX... I am an avid FSX enthusiast and trust me FSX is a resource and graphic hogger, hence I thought of SLI, but then now Titan is out of question I have shortlisted 780Ti after going thru several reviews and suggestions up there... ;)

I just need suggestion on M/B and Cooling as I am gonna over clock the CPU to close to around 5Ghz and I don't wanna make an omelette on my cabinet .... ;)

For FSX (Flight Simulator X) spending 3.5-4 lakhs is completely justified. It is the most demanding game ever. As far as mobo is concerned go with ASUS Rampage IV Extreme with your eyes closed; ASUS makes best and most reliable motherboards.

Go for 3 X 780ti only if you are planning multi monitor setup, like cockpit windows. In fact for FSX anything above even a single GTX 770 is a complete waste, the thing which matters is the CPU. However, getting 2X 780ti will give you much better performance in other games like Battlefield 4 and is well justified for your budget.

Also don't overlook the RAM, get at-least 16 GB of it (DDR-3). G skill ripjaws is the best one out there. It also has a 32 GB version, if you can get four of them, then it's great as your budget permits it!

Also get at-least 1200 W PSU, 1500W Coolermaster silent pro m2 should be a safe choice.

1. Isn't the Rampage IV a bit old like early 2012 and we are approaching end of 2013... anything better hows asrock x79 extreme.. or can you suggest a latest one ?

2. Your statements are contradicting ... you start the statement with 3 s 780ti and then you say 2... I am planning for 2 and then if required I will add the 3rd ... ;)

3. Ripjaws Z 2400Mhz 4x4GB is what I have planned at the moment, may add another 4x4 if the need be...

4. As for the GPU GTX 780Ti which is better : EVGA, Asus, Zotac ?

5. I can manage to import EVGA GeForce GTX 780Ti Superclocked w/ EVGA ACX Cooler from Europe, is it better than the one's available in the local market ?

Thanks in advance...

Let me clear you something :

FSX (with addons) is not about GPU,its all about CPU.70-75% of performance is produced by only CPU in FSX,whereas 25% done by Gpu.Really you won;t need multi gpu setup for this,its completly waste.Focus on cpu here, FSX doesnot use hyperthreading therefore Getting I7 4930K makes more sense than i7 4770k due to extra two cores of 4930k.Its unlocked cpu so you can easily overclock it and results into more framerates in FSX as FSX fps scales nearly 1:1 with cpu clock rate.I would suggest i7 4930k or i7 3930k will also do

For gpu single gtx 780ti is way to go and FSX works well with Nvidia drivers.Remember FSX doesnot respond to Sli/Multigpus setup,infact performance might decrease with sli setup.

For Ram 16GB is more than enough


Get this:

I7 4930k @ 45k

Asus Rampage IV extreme @ 31k

Asus gtx 780ti

here is overcloking review with this mobo - [REVIEW] ASUS Rampage IV Extreme - OC with Ivy Bridge-E (i7 4930K)

Nov 16, 2013 at 7:57 PM
Thanks Ashish... That indeed makes sense hence I will have the 4960X on the board... are you saying I should still go ahead with 4930K ?

How'z the EVGA version i posted up there compared to the Asus...

The reason I want SLI is for other games (Crysis, Farcry, Hitman etc) that I play and for VDO rendering and editing.

Looks like my rig is almost finalised... thanks to all of you up there :)

There is just 2% difference between i7 4930k and i7 4960x.Spending 30k more just slight performance is waste imo.Stick with i7 4930k.

I would stick with Asus due to better service support.

Gtx 780ti can easily handle those games at max settings.No need of another one





Here final rig :

Intel i7 4930K - 45000

Asus Rampage IV Extreme 64GB - 32000

Seasonic X-SS850KM3 - 12820

G.Skill RipjawsZ DDR3 16GB (4 x 4GB) 2400mhz - 21650

Cm Strom Trooper - 14000

Samsung 840Pro 256GB SATA III SSD - 16500

WD Caviar Black 1TBx3 - 18000

Asus gtx 780ti 3gb - 58000

Corsair H110 CPU Cooler - 9400

Asus 16X BD (BW-16D1HT) - 8455

Total - 2,35,600

buddy you are missing the higher end spectrum.

First of all if you have the space in your house get a projector setup or atleast a tripple monitor setup.

If you play in a projector setup(implemented right) after few minutes you will loose sense of reality

Get a dedicated NAS setup for your storage.

Thanks Ashish Indeed looks quite balanced now... :)

The H110 has a waiting period of 10 days instead I am getting a Swiftech H320 for 10K

The 780Ti is available in Zotac, Asus board has a wait period of 6 - 8 days... please suggest weather should i wait or buy the zotac...

I will share the final rig by tommorow EOD once i get all the final prices...

How abt the cooler.. I feel Swiftech H320 is a good deal for 10K... isn't it... I was getting the Corsair 110 for 7.8K :(

I think performance wise Swiftech is better then Corsair ?

It's impossible to predict my friend. That's why i always say never go overkill, save money for next upgrade.

It will be a multi-monitor setup, I intend to purchase 3 x 4K resolution UHD monitors... :) please suggest any if you know.

I can even manage 3 x 1080p 27" Ultrawide IPS trendy panels, however my minimum criteria is 1080p.

I know the cost difference between the two will be quite high.

Also, Mr. Kulkarni you do know that a single 4k monitor costs around 2.5-3lakh rs?

Also, Mr. Kulkarni you do know that a single 4k monitor costs around 2.5-3lakh rs?

Hmmm I hv budgeted around 2Lacs x 3 for da 4K monitors..... Moreover m getting the Asus PQ321Q from one of my contact's in Asus US for around USD$ 2850/- the challenge is its size which is 31.5 inch. Accommodating 3 of 32" monitors in my Muvi/VDO room will be an overkill and the room might look cramped as I need space to build a customised Home Cockpit solution around this setup...

Hence I was looking out for max 26-27", lemme know if you come across any... cost shouldn't be a big concern, although a single monitor shouldn't be 10K USD it has to be a realistic figure ;) ... If all fails I will end up buying 1080p :(

Thanks for your help...

P.S : If I end up buying the normal 1080p panels then probably I will buy 3 of them for less then the cost of 1 4K.... lol....

A 2Lac+ rig having a Storm Trooper as a cabinet? Thats Lame.

Intel i7 4930K - 45000 + Asus Rampage IV Extreme 64GB - 32000 = Are you going for LN2 cooling and overclocking competition?

WD Caviar Black 1TBx3 - 18000 = 3 For Storage :-?

Corsair H110 CPU Cooler - 9400 = on a 2 LAC + Rig with Rampage Extreme and 4930K :-? I thought I will see atleast a Swiftech/XSpC/EKWB or at least something using Laing A 2Lac+ Thats Lame again.

And no SLI???? Dump thing you dont need for a gaming pc in your HT room.Go hi end but be sensible.

Accommodating 3 of 32" monitors in my Muvi/VDO room will be an overkill and the room might look cramped as I need space to build a customised Home Cockpit solution around this setup...

Hence I was looking out for max 26-27", lemme know if you come across any... cost shouldn't be a big concern, although a single monitor shouldn't be 10K USD it has to be a realistic figure ;) ... If all fails I will end up buying 1080p :(

Thanks for your help...

P.S : If I end up buying the normal 1080p panels then probably I will buy 3 of them for less then the cost of 1 4K.... lol....

1. If you're thinking of three monitor setup or a 4k resolution, forget the 780ti.. the 3gb vram will be a bottleneck [Now look at point 4]

2.I know that triple screen monitor looks all cool, awesome and epic but trust me you'll get bored with it faster than you imagine..

3.If i were in your shoes now, i would buy a single 4k 31.5 inch screen which would be a huge dramatic upgrade even from three 1080p screens.

4. Actually there's no point buying 3 x 4k monitors because 2 x Titans can't even max games on a single 4k monitor..
If you're thinking of 3 x 4k Monitors you're looking for 6 x titan or something. Yes you will need a titan because it has 6gb vram to avoid throttling and bottlenecking of/by memory [Now look at point 2]

5. Another option is to get 3 x 1440p 27inch monitors , and again don't expect 2 x Titan to do wonders

:lol::lol:

No i mean 6 x Titan[6gb]
2 x Titan can't even get 60fps on BF3 Ultra on a single 4k , forget 3 x 4k with games like Crysis 3 lulz

According to benchmarks , to max out games on 3 x 1600p we need 4way Titan

lol.... quite interesting facts coming out this is why I simply love brainstorming on Forums.... :D

now looking at the practical angle of the overall solution... I have finally placed the order today and the rig will be delivered on Thursday...

At the outset, I have asked the supplier to deliver each and every component and I will manage the system assembly after 10 yrs though a lot has changed indeed :( ... (especially when I have support from so many fantaboulous and enthusiast group of newly found friends.... :) )

Here's the RIG which I have ordered at the moment, the only component that I have to confirm back is the CPU Cooler....

Ordered RIG and Final cost

i7 4960X (Sorry Ashish although you recommended 4930K, FSX been my prime focus... 4960X is a true power horse) - INR 67,500/-
Asus Rampage IV Extreme 64GB - INR 27,000/-
Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra - INR 22,000/-
Seasonic Platinum Series - SS-1000XP - INR 16,000/-
G.Skills TridentX - 2400Mhz - 16GB - (4 x 4GB Quad Channel) - INR 16,000/-
Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 780Ti x 2 - INR 54,000/- x 2 = 108,000/-
Samsung 840Pro - 256GB SSD - INR 15,000/-
WD Black 1TB x 3 - INR 5000 x 3 = 15,000/-
Asus 16X BD (BW-16D1HT) - INR 6500/-
Cooler Master Eisberg Prestige 240L CPU Cooler - INR 13,200/- (I am not convinced with this CPU cooler, performance stats are not so WoW as compared to Swiftech H320 or Corsair H110i hence I asked him to put this on hold until tomorrow afternoon)

Total - INR 306,200/-
VAT - INR 16,841/-
----------------------------
Net - INR 323,041/-


Final Deal Closure Price - INR 310,000/- (Including the Eisberg Prestige 240L)

Now here's the final thing you guys gotta help me out with although cost is not a criteria, performance is (Considering the fact that I should be able to over clock at least 4.8 to 5GHz @ 1.35 to 1.4V ) :

Cooler Master Eisberg Prestige 240L - INR 13,200/- (Has provision for Cooling loop and future expansion)
or
Swiftech H320 - INR 12,899/- (Online Prime)
or
Corsair H110 - INR 8,499/- (Online MD)

My sincere thanks to everyone who helped me out with the decision making process and for sharing the valuable insights, without the help it wouldn't have been possible :)

I will upload the snaps once the Rig is delivered and assembled on Thursday...

----------

So Cooler Master, Corsair or Swiftech ????????

Bro, the 3gb vram of 780ti will be a bottleneck on high resolutions like 4k or 3x1080p

780Ti is faster compared to Titan (which is the fastest on paper) I did lots nd lots of research on this... spoke to one of my friend's cousin sister who coincidently happens to work for Nvidia in the Microprocessor RnD team... She said 780Ti eyes closed.. also post my discussion with her today evening I may drop my plans of even using a 4K monitor, no visible difference to a naked eye the 4k technology is yet to be evolved along with rest of the support component eco-system... she recommended using a 24" or a 27" 1080p Ultrasharp Dell IPS panel. So that's where m headed now as far as the monitor goes..

I need help on the CPU cooler desperately, need to confirm back before 2:00pm tomorrow... :(

I am sorry, i don't have much info about CPU coolers so don't want to give false advice on it.

IMO anything above 24'' should atleast be a 1440p
I think you should get 1440p or a 1600p screen, 1080p seems a shame for 780ti SLI [even 3 of em]

Instead should have gone with R9 290X Uber setup. Not much difference compared to 780ti.

I might buy Dell U2713HM or U2412HM, both of which are Ultrasharp A-IPS Panels with LED backlighting.

I would still prefer 780Ti as for the M/B goes Z87 is storage monster which supports upto 24 drives and most importantly it support only LGA1150 socket and does not support the i7 extreme series processors which are LGA2011 socket.

Even I am inclined towards Swiftech H320... lets see what others have to recommend..

Corsair AX1200i isn't available at the moment in India and has a wait time of 20 - 25 days as per corsair India...

Ultrasharp 27/24" display from Dell, coz of my after sales experience with Dell ;)

I already paid the money :( for Cosmos II Ultra, why is it that you are recommending 900D interested to know the reasons...

Based on my research I can do/purchase a lot of custom mod's on/for Cosmos II and it goes pretty well with an EKWB based custom water loop (I will install probably next month) I am super impressed with the capabilities of this cabinet.

Hmmm, lemme do some research and If I am convinced then I will check with my supplier if he has the 900D in stock and if he is ready to swap for the cosmos.

On a serious note I am facing a hard time find this monitor, I just got a call from shop clues saying they don't have this and the seller has accidentally listed the model... I asked them to refund my money.... :(

I spoke to Dell and they say there are no 27" Ultrasharp monitors available in India and it will take 3 weeks for the next stock to come in... :cry::(

Please someone please help me with the monitors now... damn thing ... I am also ok with U2713H or even U2713 or any other equivalent WQHD 27" monitor (Budget no constraint).... Or else I will have a gun with no bullets to fire... :(:(:(

Neither of the above are available through any local/online reseller in India... Have to be imported through some reseller who will import it for me and will take 15 - 20 days, that is crazy... :(

If I gotta import anything I will straight import it using my own channel... If you guys know someone who can make these available or have them locally and deliver in next 4 - 5 days please, please, please let me know...

Btw just got the H320 delivered from Prime in Mumbai and the Razer keyboard from flipkart...

flipkart delivered in 1 day... to good to be true but then my first experience with them... amazing packing as well and a sealed pack product.

On the other hand H320 came with a H220 manual... not sure if its standard... rest all of the material at least looks new...

WOW! Looking at your experience and your business investments i assume you are well over 35 (am i right??) and you are buying a kick ass pc for gaming !
I always assumed that when i would be older i would't find time for gaming but looking at you i think that the gamer in me would live a long life.
You dont know how happy this makes me! :D
Thankyou,enjoy your beast rig (do post pics)

^^ Same Situation here. I am In My late 20s and I cant game like before i did. I miss those days when Gaming Comes. but sometime you have to manage Work, Family and Gaming all together. So I don't do other activity much whenever i get time i play.

I work from Home 99% of the times if that helps answering your question ;)
You are lucky man. i have to give 12 hours to my company then 4 hours to family and then I can game for 2 hours or so. Still I am Enjoying my games .

With me it's usually all well balanced... I don't get actively involved in work these days I have capable people who take care.... So 99% of the time I am at home and prefer it that way...

With USD$ inflating like crazy and crude oil prices going up day by day (Thanks to the Indian Govt) petrol pump is no more a lucrative business :( I did invest in one few years back and getting ok kinda returns on it.. Worst part is I don't even get free diesel :( :(

I am waiting for my 2 x EVGA Super clocked cards to arrive in India and I would be good to go and post the pics real soon... ;)
