Currently Vednat Computer, Kolkata, is selling Sapphire HD 7870 XT at 16.6K + 4% Vat which is the cheapest. Although they don't have any Online portal, you can place order by calling them. Plenty of forum members, including me, have purchased their configurations and different high end components from them and I think all of 'em can vote positive for their service.

7870 is around 16.5k, 7870xt is 17.2k, 7950 + boost is 21.5k. These are local rates in kolkata.
I think the 660ti asus dc2 is 22k or so.
Check the details below posted by Cilus. Contact them and order whichever gpu you want.

sorry i had sold my brother system that i5 2320 that i asked for configuration now i had sold it because of my bother money need so please help me out in buying new processor third generation motherboard ram,hardisk and cabinet

please guide me how to overclock after buying the system

^ Why not go for AMD's FX 8350instead of i5? It's a great overclocker and much much better VFM than any i5 3xxxx. Plus, a good overclockable setup for i5 would cost nearly 8-9k more.

FX 8350 (11500)
Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 (7100)
G.Skill ripjaws or corsair vengance 1600 MHz 8 Gb (~3900)
WD Blue 1 TB (3700 to 3900)
Corsair 400R (4900)

total: 31000

get CM Hyper 212 EVO later.

sorry dude ONLY I5 NO AMD since i like intel please get good configurations in it, how about i5 3570k using without overlock and overclock in future

i5-3470 ~11300
Gigabyte b75-D3H ~5600
Corsair vengeance/dominator 8gb (2x4gb dual channel) ~4800
WD Caviar blue 1 TB ~3900
Corsair 400R ~4900

Get an SSD later. You won't be able to buy an i5 processor which could be overclocked at that price range, so this will be the best config for you I think.

what will be the budget for overclocking cpu and tell me the budget

If you want a processor suitable for overclocking and which will be in your budget, you have to go for an AMD processor.

I suggest on not overclocking if you want your processor to last for long

i5-3570k ~14500
Gigabyte H77M-D3H ~5850

and all the same stuff, you could go with a cheaper RAM.

k... i accept your suggestion i5 second generatin or i5 third generation

can your differ hard disk and ssd

Third generation is no doubt better than the 2nd generation. Both the i5-3470 and i5-3570k are 3rd generation.

What config have you decided to go with then?

as your suggestion going to i5 third generation i'm already having gtx660 2gb graphic card and corsair cx600 v2 psu then rest have to buy already sold i5 2320 with 61ww with 8gb ram and asus gts450 graphic card and 1tb hard disk for only 16k because of my brother so now the system should have future proof components

anyone help me out with some configurations

k i will be buying i5 3570k and will not overclock since i have to use cooler or not

If you are not going to overclock then do not buy the "k" version of Intel's processors e.g. i5-3570k. So my suggestion is that save some money on the processor by getting i5-3470 and spend more on the graphics card. As the latest games demand some higher end GPU, so there will be no need to change it in a few years and even if you get a high resolution monitor.

i'm already having gtx 660 2gb

motherboard for the i5 3470 which is best 4+4 or one stick 8gb ram ,wb or segate hdd

Can you please list which items do you exactly have now and which parts have you decided to buy? I am a little confused.

Go with 4+4 (better if dual channel) and I would prefer WD.

having gtx660 2gb graphic card and corsair cx600 v2 psu then rest have to buy

If no overclocking go with the i5-3470 build, and if yes you have to spend more 4-5k for processor and motherboard and also around 2.5k on a good CPU cooler, so go whichever suits you.

Let me know about it and be patient let the others wake up from their precious sleep and let them comment more on this.

i have not oc any processor but i like too oc . k i'm waiting for others to comment

So, you are overclocking. What is your total budget now, and how much can you extend it?

Buddy, go with the FX 8350 . More VFM and can be OCed and cost is almost 10k less than Intel OC Rig... And AMD Cooler is also great But Intel s cooler is worst ... Harshil has suggested you a config , go with it...

extend upto 35k

1)tell me reason first why your upgrading your current i5 ?

because of my brother i'm upgrading he insist me to sell my i5 2320 need of money for him

what about i5 3570 without k series in my town its for 11500

ok so you want to oc cpu or not?

from your valuable review decided on non overclock processor but something nearly 3.5ghz

nothing to confuse i5 3470 or 3570 without k ,motherboard ,is that aftermarket cooler needed for non overclock processor

OVERCLOCKABLE RIG

Intel i5 3570k - rs 13500

Gigabyte Z77 U3dh - rs 12000

G.skill ripjaws 4gb x2 =8gb - rs 4000

Wd/Tosibha 1tb - rs 3700

Nzxt gamma cabinet - rs 2500

Total - Rs 35900

for future proof oc rig is must

Cm hyper evo 212 @rs 2100


NON-OVERCLOCKABLE RIG



Intel i5 3570 - rs 11500

Asus h77 mobo - rs 6500

G.skill ripjaws 4gb x2 =8gb - rs 4000

Wd/Tosibha 1tb - rs 3700

Corsair 400r cabinet - rs 4700

Total - rs 30,400

+1 to ashish's non-overclockable rig

Can you be a bit clearer? Write in points instead and use full stops wherever required.

@OP: Take the non OC config by ASHISH65.
As for ram, there isnt much difference between 4gb x 2 and a single 8gb. Two modules ensure you can still run your system if one fails.

Yeah, a dual channel RAM is best here... OP go with 2x 4 GB sticks

@OP: The NZXT Gamma is a good choice for you, if you can't find a 400R, plus its cheaper too and have 2x side panel fan mounting option.

NZXT Gamma Link here

Corsair 400R Link here

You could also get a 300R Link here

^It doens't look so good and isn't too popular.

My vote is for Corsair 400R !!!

^Mine too

even mine vote for 400r unless op want good looking cabi

400R looks good with those front led fans. And NZXT Gamma looks quite ugly.

k dude i will wait to get corsair 400r k last the motherboard for i5 3570

First tell me how much is left in your budget after getting everything except the motherboard

8k for motherboard

Go with either Gigabyte GA H77 DS3H or Asus p8 h77 MLE or p8 h77 v (if you could get one)

^Gigabyte is not available in his town. So ASUS is the only option

asus h77 m pro is good to buy

yes it is good one

What you have decided till now?

p8 h77 m pro and h77 v are same price but for 9.2k which is good to buy

Dont spend 9k for a h77 mobo...buy a 6k mobo...tat would be enough...

Congratulations on your purchase.

1. The chassis fan connector is a 4 pin connector near the cpu fan connector (the two actually look very same, except the color). Read the manual for more accurate position of the port
2. Get Asus Xonar DG available for 1500 (ASUS SOUND CARD XONAR DG).
3. For >3 Gb RAM, you should always install a 64 bit OS. Get WIn 7/8 bit. If you are an engineering student, you may avail a free copy of Windows os (and win os, XP, vista, 7 and even 8) from dreamSpark account. Contask your college's admin or dreamspark.
4. that will take lots of time to type . read this section of TDF : Freeware or browse various software sites. remember, there are always free/open source alternatives available for any software, so opt for them and avoid using pirated softwares.
5. the driver in CD is always out of date. Download the latest driver from Nvidia's website.
6. For overclocking GPU, use the utility included in the graphic card cd (download the latest version of the same). read some tutorial before doing so. And that cpu (i5 3570) cannot be overclocked. What fan setup have you done so far?

For antivirus, I recommend Norton Internet Security 2013. Very good detection, very low memory and processor footprint. You may read this thread for more information: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/software-q/138653-antivirus-guide-user-reviews.html
