I am thinking of this below config

Intel Core i5 2500k 11000

Sapphire HD6950 1GB/MSI GTX560 Twin Frozr II OC/Asus GTX 560 Ti Direct Cu II 14500
Seagate 500GB 7200.12/ WDC 500GB Blue 1700
CM Elite 430 2700
Benq G2220HD 7300
Numeric 800VA 2500

Total 50.7k

Also i couldnt find Intel DP67BG even on sites like smc and theitdepot, and
HD6850 the price is mentioned as 18k..

When will the AMD bulldozer series will be released , is it worth waiting for it ?

I think you made a typo there. 6950 it should be.

18k is the price of 6950 2GB...1GB costs 14.5k

You forgot PSU mate.

Increase your budget by 3000 bucks and you'll have a gr8 system...

If you want you can get 1TB drive but that will add another 1k more to the total above.

he can add cpu cooler too..

no need. SB stock coolers can handle even OC upto 4GHz also....with great results... ;-)

^^Stock coolers are fine... @Gaurav nice one..

Yes. Go for VX450 without hesitation. It actually delivers around 570W of power when and if needed so don't worry.

You can buy extra fans, but its not a necessity.
A Cooler Master system fan will cost around 100-200 bucks for non-LED one and 400-500 bucks for LED one.

A non LED CM Silent 120mm Fans will cost around 300-400 & LED will be more than 400 AFAIK.

45 CFM with 19dBA noise.

Thanks for the info, but i will go for k series proccy and p67 for overclocking/future proof

eagle06, I really don't think that Corsair VX450 can handle the suggested system with the specs suggested over here. May be it can supply well when the system is on normal use or little stressed. But Hd 6950 or a little overclock will increase the power consumption dramatically.
VX450 is ok with HD 6870 but it may have problem with GTX 560 or HD 6950.
My suggestion is go for Tagan StoneRock 600W 80+ certified @ 4K

Sapphire HD 6850 is available @ 9.8K. Now the thing is 6850 can be considered the minimum requirement for playing games in a Full HD (1920X1080) resolution with decent performance. So I think HD 6870 is the best option for uou if you want gaming with all the eye candy enabled.

A

agree wiit cilus instead of vx450 go with vx550 or the tagan 600. if you get tagan from tirupathi enterprise they will discount very heavily.

coz when i got my vx550 i asked about tagan he said "ye lelo is par main kaafi kam kar doonga"

it means tagans are being sold at higher pricesso a 4100 tagan should cost you max 3600.

Hi guys i got quotations from different shops in ctc.

1)They have only this p67 board DP67DE Intel® Desktop Board DP67DE - Overview. It is mATX mb will it be any problem? cost 7600 rs

2)As for gfx card sparkle gtx560 is 15500 and amd HD6950 was 15000(didnt mention any brand name).Which should i opt for?

3)And G.skill ram is costly here minimum quote i got was Rs 4500 for 4gb module.
any corsair alternatives?

4)And for psu only VX450 and CX600 were available so what I pick? both@4500 rs

Totally True ...
IMO go for 6870 ... If u can save and shell out a litlle more then 6950 is here ...
Also.. get Corsair Gaming series PSU .. Gs 600 Will be Gud Enough for you ...

Gaming Seriesâ„¢ GS600 â€” 80 PLUSÂ® Certified Power Supply

Adds A little Bling 2 ur machine !!! :mrgreen:

U`ll need a min of 600W neways if u buy 6950 ...

Well, the Intel P67 board is very good also. Befor purchasing download some pics of the motherboard from net and check the layout properly. Ensure than putting a big card in the PCI Express X16 slot does not cover the SATA ports or touching the Ram slots. Also check if it is coming with the B3 revision.

The price of both the cards you've mentioned, are with vat or without vat? If it is with vat, then the price is ok, but if without, then little overpriced. Get the Sapphire HD 6950 1 GB, available within 15K. In stock speed, it performs better than GTX 560. But if you are a advanced user and will overclock heavily, then get GTX 560. But make sure than you are getting the factory Oced and Custom Cooler versions from MSI. Price is almost same as 15.5K

If G.skill is not available, go with Corsair. Price of 2 GB and 4 GB 1333 MHz value Rams from Corsair are 1K and 2K respectively in Kolkata. 1600 MHz XMS3 is available @ 2.5 to 2.6K

Avoid CX series PSUs. They are not built for Indian high temperature climate and only provide their quoted figures with 30 to 35 degree Celsius. Get the Tagan Stonerock 600W 80+ @ 4.1K. Check Tirupati.

VX550,TX650,GS600 can handle the above config right?

because seasonic psus are not available here ...

eagle06, For your system, VX550 is enough. Even the 600W GS is also a good choice
