Ram Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3 1600MHz x 4
PSU Corsair Power Supply 850 watts TX850

P

If its only for gaming purpose go for i5 processor (i5 3570k).
Save the money you get from this and increase your RAM to 8gb 1600 MHz....

dude...his spec says 4GB x 4

Ram-
Get 8GB x 2 if you need 16 GB.
Z77 platform does not support quad channel memory anyways.

850 watts PSU is not required.
Corsair TX650V2 would be MUCH MORE than enough.

For mobo choose any one of these :
ASUS p8z77-v/v pro/m pro or ASUS maximus V gene

RAM:
8G X 2
or 4G X 2 CL9 1600Mhz
as per requirement.

Processor:
i5-3570k/2500k

Asrock Boards are also good. You can check Z77 Extreme 4 and Extremme 6

please stop promoting the parts everywhere, that when being sold, would give you max profit.
In a more straight way Asrock = 2nd class brand = nor worthy of suggesting in any thread where OP have >40K budget. It is good for <30K rigs though.

Its not like that bro, Asrock were not good on 775 platform and all but on 1155 they have made an amazing Extreme series. You can check reviews on tomshardware. I am not saying they are better then Asus or something. They are giving good specs at low prices. and FYI.. we have all asus boards also in stock and its not about profit margin.
See I am here to help all of the guys but if I am wrong on Asrock boards then you are most welcome to correct me.

Talking about AsRock I was surprised when I saw this : *hwbot.org/newsflash/1805_asrock_z7...ecord_i7_3770k_at_7.136ghz_with_liquid_helium

I think AsRock boards are very good for the price that they offer.(viz Extreme 4 & 6)
It's like if you're not a complete BIOS freak and/or you don't wanna spend much on the motherboard coz of any reason whatsoever you can go for ASRock.
Tom's hardware has been praising asrock a lot since the z77 boards came out..

What I'd recommend is make a build w/o ASRock and then if you're going over the budget change motherboard to AsRock.

Ok. That's nice to know.

No worries. I was clarifying the doubt which came in my mind after seeing some of your posts.

Latest Update after the suggestion in here

MotherBoard: Asus P8Z77-V

CPU : Intel Core i7 3770k ivy Bridge Processor 3.5GHz
Ram : Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3 1600MHz x 4
PSU : Corsair Power Supply 850 watts TX850 *Suggestions Needed* need em if i go xfire mode
SSD : OCZ Agility 4 SATA 3 128GB : AGT4-25 SAT3-128G *Suggestions Needed*
Cabinet : *Suggestions Needed*

Note : Already own

GPU SAPPHIRE HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5 (Bought)
DISPLAY LG 22" Full HD Monitors x 2
HDD Segate 500GB SATA Drive
EHDD 2TB Drive
Keyboard , Mouse , Speakers ..

so my budget of 90k is excluding of all i mentioned above . in near future i might go for a xfire configuration .

THanks for inputs so far.. :-D

Yeah biostar AsRock these are all 2nd class brands and come behind Asus, gigabyte, MSI; but component build has also gone better since the times of 775 to now(this is over all for every brand not just AsRock). Every maker uses solid-state capacitors, which have longer life.
AsRock and BioStar always have tried to provide a well-featured mobo, hence there is nothing wrong in them.

It is more of our thinking, I think the same that is Asus products will be much better. And my idea of suggesting is, if I am not interested in buying something you should not suggest that. That is why suggest AsRock less

If you are planning to overclock then you should go for the ASUS Maximus V GENE Motherboard | Motherboard | Flipkart.com. I've bought it just a few days ago,it has rock solid performance and the BIOS is awesome. And guess what,it looks badass.

. There is no mention of Cabinet in your post,so I'm suggesting that you buy something like Corsair White 500R Mid Tower Cabinet | Cabinet | Flipkart.com for nice airflow and cable management. As your rig will be used for gaming an i7 is not necessary.Go for the Intel 3.4 GHz FCLGA1155 Core i5 3570K Processor | Processor | Flipkart.com and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Cooler | Cooler | Flipkart.com for it.

And if you don't mind can I ask which mouse and keyboard are you using? If it is a simple multimedia one then I really suggest you to upgrade to a Gaming Keyboard and Mouse.

OK guys..he's (OP) a friend of mine and his post/editings goes through MOD approval and so the response is delayed.

He got 90k Budget and the purpose of this PC is for gaming + a lot of other CPU intensive work is involved.
He already has the below components
Sapphire HD7870 (Crossfire in future),
2 * LG 1080p Monitor,
KB/M,Speakers,
2 TB HDD,
Audio Technica ATH-M50 and Fiio E7 DAC + Amp.

Only Components Needed @ 90k Budget:
CPU w cooler + MOBO + RAM + PSU + Cabinet + SSD

So plz suggest the best within the 90k budget

CPU - i7 2600k - 17.5k or i7 3770k - 21k
Motherboard - ASUS P8Z77-V PRO - 17k
CPU cooler - Noctua NH-D14 - 5.5k
RAM - G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3(F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL) 8GB*2 RAM - 7.5k
PSU - Corsair HX850 - 11k
Cabinet - Corsair carbide 400R - 5k
SSD - OCZ 256GB Vertex 4 SSD - 15K

i7 2600k overclocks better and heats lesser than i7 3770k.i7 3770 has faster quick sync.

^You beat me to it

Good one.

If you still have more money to spend then get a Full Tower, additional fans and Intel SSDs.

A

full tower like nzxt phantom

few more fans beside the stock cabinet

Change the RAM to G.Skill RipjawsX (2x 4GB) 1600MHz. Cause, Vengeance is comparatively bad overclocker. (If you are interested in overclocking)
To crossfire HD7870, a good 750 Watt PSU, like HX750 would be enough. You won't be needing any 850 watt PSU. But if you really want to, but it.
Cabinet? How much money do you left for buying the chassis?

Don't have any fixed budget mate , so up any good suggestions on PSU / Cabinet

Corsair Carbide 400R @ 5k
Cosmos II / Obisidan 800D for 15k+

vkl said:
CPU cooler - Noctua NH-D14 - 5.5k

Why not Antec Kuhler H2O 920/ Corsair Hydro H80 for 1k more

PSU: HX750
Cabinet: Corsair Carbide 400R @4.6K
CoolerMaster HAF 912 Combat @4.4K
Bitfenix Shinobi @4.8K

Want good looking cabinet?
Corsair 650D @8.4K

Among full tower cabinets:
CoolerMaster HAF-X @12.6K
NZXT 810 @10.6K
And many many others. Can't be suggested without proper budget.

Still Pending :

CPU Cooler :
Cooler Master Hyper 212+ or Liquid Coolers ?? (Not planning to OC cpu to its limits

)

Then Hyper 212+ should be good enough.

If you won't go for extreme OC then air coolers are good enough. Get Hyper 212 as suggested already.

overclocked to 4.5GHZ and with stock temp went upto 90c so instead of 212 evo , i got H80 now

now my cpu hangs around 65c in full load

thanks once again for your suggestions :mrgreen:

PS : I had to remove my top fan in HAF 912 Advanced to fit H80 inside the case

With hyper 212 EVO, you can get 4.4GHz at max with your 3770K.

A

nice OC dood

Can you please post individual prices of the components...

Hangs (like system hang) or the temp is stable at 65C ? :razz:

Myth said:

lol

i meant settles around 65C

but if you put extreme stress like running Prime95 then it might hit 70C

Note : I settled @ 4.22 GHZ for now
