Thats too costly, 10 lakhs

It is a dream

Looks like your Dream needs lot of Revisions....I don't mean to shatter your dream.

1). You just got a 6 Core Extreme Edition Processors in your Dream ?? That's all ???

2). Why didn't you get Custom WC Loop instead of Corsair H100i ??

3). Vengence LP ?? It could have either a WC Memory Kits or Latest Dominators Series.

4). If you are going to have lots & lots of contents like Games & Movies etc etc, then grab few NAS of 12TB each. Also grab few more similar NAS for back up.

5). 4 Graphics Cards air cooled inside a Cosmos II. It will be big FAIL moment.

6). Essense Sound Card & 2.1 Audio Speakers. :Facepalm:

7). Mechanical KB from Cooler Master. Are you joking ??? Should get a Steelseries 7G...

Everyone have a dream Rig, but looks like OP's dream is not so good without our suggestions. Also we started suggesting people to have Great RIG's in DREAM too.

No offense to OP, i just can't control myself.

Everyone is most welcome to share their views and suggestions. All your point's are absolutely valid and there is no limit to hardware addition for better performance. I absolutely agree this is not the best it can be, but I cannot sit and design a DREAM rig for the whole week, so its short and sweet.

"Power Supply: Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 1500W 80 PLUS Silver Certified ATX12V Power Supply" dude you dont even need this, a reliable VIP or Intex PSE will do the task. You could save around 12k and upgrade your other components....And yeah you dont need thatprocessor, it is only for photoshop and word etc office things. get i3 or i5 anything above that is office work.

^hahah
and I doubt if it can run minesweeper at 640x480

not necessary that you need 7.1 all the time. many prefer pure stereo over 7.1.. I have a Essense XT and still use 2.1 , also STX can only drive stereo, ST can drive 7.1 but needs extra expansion card/daughter card.

you are right about NAS. non gaming data should be stored in NAS rather than on PC and should use RAID configuration for MAX performance.

But, it won't appear to be in someones dream ??? For Gaming 7.1 will be a big advantage than stereo.

not sure about 7.1 setup, but 7.1 virtual surround using headphones makes hell lot of difference. I can listen to the enemy coming towards me to knife me from the back

.. I did lot of testing for virtual surround in empty severs with couple of friends and I could ~~see~~ hear the difference.
yes..for a dream config, one would go for a 7.1 setup, but that STX has to be replaced with either XT (with 7.1 extension board) or Xonar Phoebus, as STX has only stereo output (unless you are using Digital/optical output).

7.1 setup in a dead calm room will be big advantage. But not applicable for Indian Environment, because we never build our house to be sound proof.

One n00b question: After quad sli on that board, where does the audio card sit?
BTW, someone request dotEXE to post his "dream" config plz :rofl:

lolz.. true, no free port after 4xSLI :lol:

EDIT: can use PCIe Extender like this one. *www.amazon.com/HOTER-PCI-E-Express-Riser-Flexible/dp/B0057M0ABA

Its not a N00b Question actually. One can buy PCIe Riser or extender for such purpose.
