Hi,

I'm planning to upgrade to the following config (old config in signature):

Intel i5-4690K
MSI Z97 PC Mate
Coolermaster Hyper 212X
ASUS GTX770 2GB

Total cost from TheITDepot.com is estimated at 53K

I'm aware TheITDepot tends to overprice their components , so if anyone here lives in Bangalore and knows where to find this exact configuration , please tell me. Also , if you've got other websites which can offer the above at a lower price, do let me know! Thanks!

sell that 560Ti and 8GB RAM. I "guess" it'd fetch around 10k. so your budget is now 65k ;)

now get this -

i7 4770k - 22k
MSI Z97 PC Mate - 8K
Sapphire R9 290 Tri X - 32k
TOTAL ~60k

IDK about coolers so let someone else reply to that.

Can't sell the 560 Ti , it's worthless. See here:

So , no 10k and your config while excellent is too expensive :/

Which monitor do you have?

Samsung P2370MS (23 inches). Don't need to upgrade, it's a great monitor and fits my requirements. I don't plan to game at more than 1080p.
