10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: delhi

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: i5-2500k is a preferred(as fast a system as posible within budget), Moreover, can compromise in Mobo + GPU as these can be upgraded later.

For 40k you can get:
* Intel i5-2500k -- 12.5k
* AsRock Z77 Extreme 4 -- 10.5k
* Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3 -- 1.7k
* WDC Blue 500GB HDD -- 3.8k
* Asus DRW 24B5ST -- 1k
* Corsair CX-500v2 -- 3.3k
* NZXT Source Elite 210 -- 2.5k
* MS Wired 600 combo -- 0.7k
* Logitech z103 speakers -- 1k
* Numeric 600VA UPS -- 1.5k
Total ---- 38.5k
If you want a better cabinet, you can get Corsair Carbide 400R for 1.5k more. And the most important thing, adding a GPU is not possible with such config.

If you wanna get GPU too then get this:
* Intel i5-2320 -- 9.5k
* Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H -- 4.6k
* Corsair 4GB DDR3 Value RAM -- 1.3k
* WDC Blue 500GB HDD -- 3.8k
* Asus DRW 24B5ST -- 1k
* Corsair CX-500v2 -- 3.3k
* NZXT Source Elite 210 -- 2.5k
* MS Wired 600 combo -- 0.7k
* Logitech z103 speakers -- 1k
* Numeric 600VA UPS -- 1.5k
Total ---- 29.2k
+
* MSI GTX-560 1GB DDR5 -- 10.5k
Grand Total ---- 39.7k

Thanx for your suggested rig. In the first rig, can i compromise on mobo, replace it by ''Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H'' and add a GPU around 9k? Will it be a stable build?

T

^ a k series processor like i5 2500k makes sense only when paired with P67, Z68 or a Z77 chipset mobo.

What if go for this:

i5 2400(i know its locked, but i am guessing its not much inferior to i5-2500k in performance)
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H
Gpu(any around 9k)
8gb ram
Will it be a fast system? Or do i need to buy a better mobo?

It will be fast But the I5 2500K can be OCed When needed say after 2 years . I have the I5 2400 and its really good.

U

arounnd 9k you can get the Gigabyte Radeon HD 7770 OC........it runs cool and gives good perfomance with low temperatures.

I have given a 2nd config too. Just get that. If you want to add i5-2400 instead of i5-2320, it will cost you 1k more. And also I have given GTX-560 in that rig. Why do you wanna get HD 7770?

I am going for this finally. I need opinions on this as it's almost finalized:

i5 3450 12000
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H Motherboard 4400
Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6850 1 GB GDDR5 9000
WD Caviar Blue 500 GB HDD 3800
corsair 500Watts 3200
Intex 600 VA 1200
Corsair Vengaence DDR3 4X2 GB = 8GB 2700
Asus DRW-24B5ST Optical Drive 1110
corsair 400r 4400

total=42000

1)Also HD7770 OR HD6850?
2)how much can i get GTX-560 for?
3)Is cooler needed?

I guess 7770 is better card than 6850. It would be better to include cooler but stock fans will do fine.
Overall, i guess its ok.

U

Get any Sandy Bridge CPU like i5 2400 or i5 2320, it will give you almost the same perfomance at a much lower price point.

buy msi 560 @ 9.8k over hd 6850

Go for HD7770. As Ashish said, it is a better card overall. Also save some money and buy NZXT SOurce 210 Elite/Gamma for 2.5k. No use spending 4.4k on the corsair 400R when you are not into overclocking, etc...

P

the hd 7770 costs about as much as a hd 6870
for that price (12.5k) a hd 6870 blows away everything in its price range

didn't top iit , was just selected after 1 year dropping .
On topic - 7770 and 6850 both cannot max high game like metro 2033 , crysis etc on 1080p . Go with sasawant23 advice . Buy gtx 560 from smcinternational .

U

@panwala95 The HD 7770's straight competition is with HD 6850 and very few HD 7770's cost above 10k. For sub-10k range HD 7770 is a rocker. With new drivers its perfomance is increasing.

P

YOU ARE RIGHT BUT EVEN FOR 10K THIS IS A BETTER CHOICE-
GTX 560-
Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 (ZT-50901-10M) 1 GB DDR5 Graphics Card | Graphics Card | Flipkart.com
EDIT- THIS IS THE GTX 560 SE ( CRIPPLED ) EDITION

@panwala95
HD 7770 is available for 9K and HD 7770 is available for more than 11.5K. HD 7770 is more vfm than the HD 6870 in OPs . If OP Spends a little bit , He can get GTX 560 .

i suggested to to the op the gtx 560 se read above

Thanx guyz for d suggestions. M gonna get msi gtx 560 as i also read in some reviews that HD 7770 won't give you best performance on 1080p full hd monitor as m planning 2 buy either of these 2:

AOC i2353 ips 23''
REVIEWS:
AOC i2353FH review | from TechRadar's expert reviews of Monitors
TFT Central

or benq gl2450hm 24''
Benq 24 inch LED - GL2450HM Monitor: Flipkart.com

Anybody had first hand experience with above screens?

Good Option for the Graphics Card .

V

How's AOC's RMA Service in india??

U

GTX 560 SE is not good in m opinion. Its TDP is 150w and it performs just a bit better than the GTX 550 Ti. Not a good choice.

Dont go for SE Version .

Better go with BenQ one..
A IPS has better color reproduction but slower response times always end up with some ghosting.

I suggest you to get a better TN panel(BenQ) rather than a LOW end IPS

i'm searching for a good gpu under 11k and that's all i was able to find. Neglect the zotac gtx560 above its SE. Check out the MSI NGTX560

Get the MSI N560GTX M2D1GD5. Much better than the rest of the cards.
