It's Finaly Time - PC @ 60k~

So, Today after I got my High School Result , I now think it's time for a major upgrade . :twisted:

So, Here it is :

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: From Most Priority to least : 3D Work in 3DS Max / Cinema4D , Composting/VFX (After Effects),1080p Gaming,Web Designing , Programming , Watching Movies and Surfing the Internet.

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 60k (not a penny more, cant even be raised by 1k)

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Yeah (But Not out of the box, probably after 5-6 months)

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7 64bit , Ubuntu 12.04

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 500 GB

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: No, I dont want to buy a Monitor. I Will reuse my current Monitor - It is LGM237WA - 23" /60 Hz /1080p.

Ans: Yes I have built many before.

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: Kanpur , I can Shop online From Flipkart .

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Well I would Like to say that I am in no hurry of buying a CPU cooler will wait some months to buy it. I also came up with this Config -

Intel Core i7 2600k
ASRock Z77 Pro4 Motherboard
8GB G.Skill 1600 Mhz
500 GB WD Blue
Asus Sata DVD RW
Sapphire HD 7850
CM 690 II (W/Transparent Side Panel) / Lancool PC-K62
Corsair GS 600

First Of All I am Thinking About Going with that mobo as its Z77 and is cheaper than many of ASUS . I am going with a very less Motherboard Budget , so it seemed good to me . Alternatively I was looking for MSI Z68A-G45-G3 . Both Boards are not the best overclockers, but that is what I want , I would never go more than 4.2 Ghz.

I was thinking about Corsair 400r as Cabby but it aint gotta Transparent side panel on it , So I m thinking about CM 690 II . Lancool-pcK62 . So, Transparent Side panel should be must on Cabby.

Lastly , Core i7 2600k seemed the best for me as I work a lot in 3D and Composting Softwares and Gaming is not the priority but it cant be neglected.

Both MSI Z68A-G45-G3 and ASRock Z77 Pro4 are not good choices.
Why you are planning to get a *cheap* board when you are spending 18K for processor?
At least get Asus P8Z68-M PRO or P8Z68-V/gen3.
Yes, I'm talking about Z68.
There is no use of getting Z77 with 2nd gen SB processors. Simply waste of money.

d6bmg dont you think if op going to use 1600mhz ram it better to go with z77

B

@Op-ur first configuration was fine. .

Component Make Price
CPU Intel Core i5 2500k 12500
Motherboard ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 10000
RAM 2 x G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 4GB 3060
GPU Radeon HD 7870 21100
HDD WD Caviar Blue 500 GB 4270
Optical Drive Asus DRW-24B3ST 1110
Case NZXT Source 210 Elite 2400
PSU SeaSonic S12 II 620 4620
Total 59060

@OP : You have such heavily multi threaded applications to work with. Why don't you think of an AMD FX based configuration?

Well I can consider an i5 2500k but not FX (its way out of league here).
And well I have seperate budget for different things - its like 16k for Graphics Card- so I can Forget HD 7870 .

B

Then for gpu-nvidia 560ti

V

@rajatGod512

if your budget is 16k for graphic card then go for amd radeon hd 7850.
Also buy a cpu cooler like CM hyper 212 evo.

Intel Core i5 2500k @12.5k
ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 @10k
RAM 2 x G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 4GB @3k
GPU Radeon HD 7850 @15.6k
HDD WD Caviar Blue 500 GB @4k
Optical Drive Asus DRW-24B3ST@1.1k
Case Corsair carbide 400r @5k
PSU SeaSonic S12 II 620 @4.6k
Cpu cooler CM hyper 212 evo @2.1k

total=58k

The above config is the way to go for. It is the best for 60K.

Btw, the CARBIDE 400R is available for 4.5K.

As I have already stated I wont be going for Carbide 400r , Reason :- See My first Post

Ok , So Get NZXT LEXA S .

M

i recently got Lancool-pcK62 case is great really great

He would be OCing and will use a good cpu cooler. Some cpu coolers are quite high and lexa s can't fit them easily(not even hyper 212 evo). So forget about it.

CM advanced 690 II is a good enough cabinet.Get it over standard version of 690II for front usb3.0

Why everyone suggesting AsRock Z77 Extreme4 for a 60K config?

@Op-ur first configuration was fine. .

IMHO, no.

Bodhisatwa said:

560ti is previous gen card. HD7850 is way better than 560ti. (Unless you are suggesting 560ti being a nvidia fanboy)

dfcols71 said:
d6bmg dont you think if op going to use 1600mhz ram it better to go with z77

What 1600MHz RAM is to do with suggesting Z77 board?
With Z68, one can OC upto 2133MHz.
With Z77 one can OC upto 2800MHz.
Don't worry about the top limit as you won't get good RAM kit over 1600 CL9 at a good price.

in imo you are talking bullshit without any evidence d6bmg regarding mobo

Well So, d6bmg . Pls Can you suggest A full config

T

Asus P8Z68M-pro @ 9.5k
Core i7 2600k @ 18k
Sapphire HD 7850 @ 15.8K
Corsair GS600 @ 4.7k
WD Caviar blue 500 gb @ 4k
Gskill RipjawsX 2x4 gb 1600 mhz @ 3.8k
Rest for your choice of cabby.

ok that should be good .

(as a personal frnd) oye ...But mATX board really! When you were buying what did others told you when you were asking everyone about building your pc.

P.S. Is your Sapphire HD 7850 the OCed version.

T

Nope, I have the reference version(OCed via afterburner). :wink:

Here you go:

You can also buy Asus P8Z77-M PRO @11K if you want sepnd your ~2K which is saved by this config.

Which part? Whis part?

No answer, just :lol:

. Learn dude, just learn new things everyday!

^^ Sorry. corrected both of them. My stupid mistake. :-(

@the_conqueror : Why don't you edit that post and remove the quote or put a spoiler on it buddy. Its kind'a embarrassment for d6bmg I guess

Removed that post. I think d6bmg should also remove his apology post.

Nothing is embarrassing mate. Typo occurs all the time.

Its cool.

One RAM Question : Should I Go for : 2 x G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (F3-12800CL9S-4GBXL) @ 2*1.5k = 3k OR

1 X G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL) @ 3.6k

The Difference between the two I think is that the CL9S - means 1 channel as it is only 1 stick and CL9D means Dual Channel as it is 2 sticks.

Will Buying two 1.5k sticks make any diiference than buying the 8GB (4GBX2) ??

Dumb Question : Will the 2 (4x1 GB) sticks automatically run in dual channel mode or Do I have to do somthing ?

Help Pls

T

Install the RAM in alternate slots, that'll make your RAM run in dual channel (nothing else required, i'm running mine in dual channel only).

I read on a thread that dual channel RAM works better with SNB, as compared to single channel(not sure about this).

^^ Thanks... I needed to confirm it

1.5 v rams are recommended by intel rather than lesser volt ram

Answer to your question: Both are same. Buy 2x 4GB module, which will save you 600/-

These are common pricing mistakes in flipkart.

See the price in primeabgb website. It is correct there and you can see the correct prices over there.

^^Congratz dude. Great buy

Great performance buy, the best in the budget. The i7 is a really nice CPU and the HD 7850 is a cool card. At leasy for the 2-3 years to come, you can game, super nicely.
The 2 years you can play @ full eye candy.

Now do post pics and if possible, post a video of assembling the Rig as it might make a good tutorial for beginners.

Bought the rig.. made a couple of changes
Specs in my Signature, everything is bought from flipkart ... I could not find many items in my city and prices also were quite high.
