@ The Incinerator grt suggestion.

@ OP Read thi thread if you have any more doubts regarding prices and performance, "*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-components-configurations/165129-gaming-rig-around-130k-13.html".
I also suggest you to try through Vedant computers Kolkatta as they seem to offer better prices.

Where is SSD and UPS ??

Well if you are a hardcode gamer then I would suggest the following
Processor - Intel Core i7 3570K
Motherboard - Asus Maximus V Formula or Asus Maximus V Gene
RAM Corsair Vengeance 2.0 2133MHz
Hard Drive WD 1 TB + 120 GB SSD
Graphics Card - Sapphire HD7870 GHz Edition * 2 ( Crossfire) - Rs 33280
Power Supply - Corsair HX850
Cabinet - Your choice there are hundreds available, choose as per your liking
Keyboard - Razer Arctosa
Mouse - Logitech Optical Gaming Mouse G400
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper Evo
Optical Drive - Any will do
UPS - APC 1.1KVA

I guess that would be all.

No noctua here ?

IMO every 100k+ rig deserves something better than a cooler master evo.

Anand you missed the Display!! :razz:

It was highly based on your rig with some alterations, with no actual performance drop(barring the SSD bursts), keeping the budget and the display in consideration.But if he can leave the SSD aside for now and get the the i7 based core rig at that budget it will be better. An SSD can be added anytime later,IMO.

Noctua?? ...ask anand how hard that is in India!!! :wink:

The cabinet is way too expensive and was Anand's personal preference. OP can opt for something else here(read low priced).
Same for PSU. I think a tx750 or a gs800 might work. HX850 seems like overkill.

And yes, we can skip the ssd. I dont mind waiting a few more seconds for os/game/app to load, to save 6-7k.

Ok ill upgrade my storage in the future and will take ssd
But
I thought of buying this rig.....

Pro-Intel Core i7-3770k
Mobo-Asus P8Z77-V
RAM-Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR3

The cabinet and the PSU is one of the most important thing here since Crossfire was suggested and overclocking will be involved,a roomy cabinet goes a long way and the cabinet is probably the only item in this configuration which will last more than 2 builds,IMO.

I wouldnt suggest a GS800 for a HD7870 Crossfire set up at all. More over the GS 800 comes with only three years warranty and dosnt have an inspiring build quality.The TX 850 is more the way to go if he can do a proper cable management and the CM Storm Trooper provides enough space to do it. If he cant then an HX 750 should be the least. He has to leave some head room for the PSU after all the overclocking,fans, leds, HDDs etc etc,IMO.

The rig I configured was keeping in mind the upperlimits of his allocated budget (120K),but if he wants to keep it within Rs 100K,yes I will have to make some alterations.

Well I took the last one available in India with PrimeABGB. I don't think they have more, however they can arrange in like 1 month though and thats the reason I didn't mentioned it.

Well I am no expert in Display so didn't mentioned that. Better to skip rather than confusing OP with lame suggestions. I have BenQ G2420HD but with that budget he can easily get and IPS model and I would say go for IPS panel.

Well Cabinet is a personal choice and should be decided by OP himself, all we can do is give him alternatives and options. For example I hate NZXT for its design and many love it for the very same reason. For PSU if he is going Crossfire then TX850 would be minimum and he want modular then HX850 is minimum, so basically its upto OP.

A single card based rig is also an option, he can go for 7970 costing around 28.5K to 30K or he can opt for 7950 costing around 22K to 26K depending on the model. This is a suggestion provided his budget gets higher than he can afford or he can also go for a crossfire like me but with me I didn't had to buy Monitor costing around 15K which will have to be reduced from his budget. I think by Crossfire his budget would surely shoot. Completely personal take.

OP didn't stated his maximum budget, I mean the upper limit. Can he go beyond 120K or not.

Correct this

You have the same. No wonder

Thetrueblueviking said:

Intel i5 3570K. I guess thats OK now. I am suggesting this to OP as his primary requirement is gaming and this CPU is more than enough to handle that.

Pro-Intel Core i7-3770k
Mobo-Asus Maximus V Gene
RAM-G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB better than Vengeance
HDD-Caviar Black or Blue (but not Green)
CPU Cool-Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212 (for extreme clocking get a Corsair A70 otherwise the CM is ok )
Key-Razer Blackwidow - Expert Mechanical
Mou-Razer Death Adder Black
Speak-Logitech Surround Sound Z506
OD-Samsung or Asus better anyday
Grap Card- Asus GTX 680 (betetr than the Zotac you chose,IMO a 7970 is better VFM)
PowSup- Corsair TX/HX 750 or 850 (give CM GX series a miss)
UPS-APC 1100 VA
Monitor-LG D2342p Full 3d monitor
Cab-HAF 922 or NZXT Phantom

A little change here and there check if you like.

With the above config you are concentrating too much on accessories rather than robust core components like the CPU GPU RAM Motherboard PSU and Cabinet. Get them in order before going for expensive mechanical keyboards and mouse which can be upgraded in due time. But upgrading core components later will be futile. So better think before you buy.

1. Change the KB to Corsair Vengeance K60 or K90.
2. For GPU HD7970 would be a better choice.
3. If you are getting 2TB Green Edition then make sure that you also have a SSD.
4. For Mobo Asus Maximus V Gene would be better.
5. For GPU get Corsair TX750 if going for single GPU setup.

Thats all from me.

Which hd 7970.. I seen lot of reviews and benchmarks of Asus HD 7970 Matrix Platinum card. It is a kickass GC.

Check online at Prime ABGB, IT Depot ,SMC International and MD Computers for good prices.

Take whichever comes in your budget.
Sapphire 7970 is more vfm though. Asus 7970 is just awesome, but at a price.

Depends on the budget. See these
GPU Prices from Vedant.

If are going above 30K in GPU then it would be advisable to get a Multi-GPU setup if you can take the pain of optimization. If you want complete hassle free computing then Single GPU is the way to go.

I know, I was being sarcastic.

Myth said:

Sapphire is good as the price is under 30K. If he has to go for a 36.5K card then why not a multi GPU setup then.

If OP wants a single GPU solution then Asus HD 7970 Matrix Platinum is the best choice as it is available at 32K including tax in Vedant COmputer, Kolkata. The link Anand has posted also having the Phone Number of Vedant. You can call them and mention that you got those prices for Digit forum and they will provide you shipping too.

At that rate the asus 7970 is a great deal.
It OCs nicely and can make up for the performance gap with the 7870 CF. I doubt the performance difference will be so obvious.
Hopefully later when the prices come down, purchase another and have a 7970 CF setup. That will last even longer.

rsannino`s 3DMark03 score: 214700 marks with a Radeon HD 7970

No it can't. Read a lot about it before deciding to go with Crossfire. Also 7970 CF is highly unlikely as I don't think OP will upgrade in some months or under a year.

No matter how much you overclock a 7970 normal or matrix platinum, it cannot make a dent to the performance of a 7870 cf.
There is no closing the gap here because its too wide. 7870 cf simply gives the ultimate gaming experience at same price.

I doubt people upgrade within a year. Probably after a year atleast

I didnt say the OC'd asus 7970 will beat the 7870 cf, but make up the gap(wrong choice of words up there).
My doubt was whether this gap is so obvious in the gameplay. For such a gap, I have read single card setups being recommended(except here ofcourse

)

2x7870 vs 7970. Performance preset.
2x7870 vs 7970. Extreme preset
Did my best to match all other factors. Cant explain the results

On a side note, consider a time when an upgrade is required. In case of 7870 cf, both the cards have to be replaced while on the other hand, another 7970 (will be cheaper) can be added for a CF setup.

@ OP i heard that the Razer mechanical keyboard has some isue with space key..read it in a tech magazine I think.. i suggest corsair k60 or k90.

Is the Asus HD 7970 Matrix Platinum, the one called the 7970 ghz in the online reviews. What does GHZ mean? is it same as a OC'd card?

When after 2 years he would like to upgrade then Asus Matrix 7970 won't be available. In current scenario you have to wait for it, imagine after 2 years. Also at that time something better would be cheaper.

No Sapphire has a card having GHz edition in suffix.

2. Ya i will purchase HD7970 but im confused between the models.
3. I will buy SSD later (Year or 2)

1. Check PrimeABGB they have killer prices for these Keyboards.
2. Again depends on the budget. Sapphire is also good and will keep your budget in check. If you can afford Asus Martix then go for it, like I said depends on the budget.
3. OK then go for a Black Edition 1 TB

Vincee777 said:

Size is the difference. Micro ATX is smaller and ATX is bigger, E ATX is bigger than ATX. Because of size no. of ports, PCle slots will be reduced thats all.

1. Oh my pricing is great in primeabgb whereas in flipkart the price of that kb is 10000. K90 is a killer keyboard fell in love with it when i saw it.

Yeah thats what I told you. Anyway what type of games you play mostly, if you are a RPG gamer then only go for K90 or K60 is more than enough for you. K60 is more about FPS and other genres but for RPGs nothing beats K90. But don't waste on something you wouldn't use at all.

3. Logiyech G400
4. Razer DeathAdder

For performance yes. But for data no. I won't suggest to go raid, better to get a SSD.

After the latest drivers 12.11 they have gained around 7-12% performance and so easily beats their respective Nvidia Counterparts. Also they are cheaper so better VFM, they have much higher DirectCompute.
As for Physx you can always add a another Low end Nvidia card which can act as a Physx card for you and your AMD card as your main GPU.

Yeah No problem.

Contact them and ask, they'll ship the products to you. Just tell them you got their reference from TDF and they'll understand.

Sorry
But i want an ips monitor. Any suggestions

See the thread Gaming Monitor at 15K for info about Monitor, I remember there was quite a discussion going down in that thread.

For GPU there is no competition between those two, get 7970 eyes closed, however if that card goes out of budget then you can also opt for Sapphire HD 7970 GHz edition as that card is also very good in performance.
Other than that your RIG looks real nice to me, well done.

Great build.
And I think you meant Corsair TX750V2UK.

For a monitor take a look at this
Dell 23 inch LED - U2312HM Monitor: Flipkart.com

Dell S2340L (23 incher)

Some Philips models also come with IPS panels and are cheaper.

^^ Even AOC does have two IPS Panel based Monitor, 22" and 23", around 8.4K and 10.6K respectively.

AOC - AOC 23 inch i2352Ve IPS LED Monitor

Very good for the asking price.

For mouse go for Razer DeathAdder or Logitech G500 Programmable Gaming Mouse-OHJ | eBay
For Keyboard, I'd suggest you go for a Logitech G110. Logitech G110 Gaming Keyboard G 110 | eBay

The cost of G500 is too much there. You can easily get it for like 3.5K from Vedant Computers(including shipping). Contact them.
