please add gtx 660 or hd 7870 @15k instead of hd 7850 oc.much better

Everything is good except 60k mid range rig,there should be balance between cpu and gpu.add i5 3550 there
with hd 7950

or hd 7870xt @18k will be also good

In 90k rig why overpriced vapour x model ? instead add gigabyte hd 7970 @27k or saphhire hd 7970 boost edition @28k

and add amd 990fx mobo @10k

Jun 21, 2013 at 8:15 PM
>will change it with 7870
>FX 6300 is good option as it is overclockable and in gaming 7950 vapour x is truely kickass if we go for FX 8350 there then have to compromise with graphics so it is good to go with fx 6300
>7870xt will not fit in budget
>it is overpriced but performence is also better
>will think about 990fx

Even in 90k rig you are suggesting M5A97 EV0? Change it to better board like m5A99FX PRO R2.0.

60k rig suggestion :

Intel i5 3550 - rs 11000

>will change it with 7870
>FX 6300 is good option as it is overclockable

What if buyer has no plan to overclock ? :rolleyes:

anyways ^above rig is far better

>it is overpriced but performence is also better

no why wasting 4k on minimal performance difference.Vapour x is mainly for better cooling

gigabyte hd 7970 one is best vfm :)

Deepcool assassin - 5.3k

Sapphire HD 7970 vapour x @ 31k
Sapphire HD 7970 vapour x X 2 crossfire@ 62k
Sapphire HD 7990 @ 54k
or GTX780

Better to get NZXT Kraken x60 or corsair H100i for cooling that CPU..
For GPU
Single setup : AMD radeon HD7970GHz or GTX 780
MGPU : GTX 770*2 or 780*2

Regarding Mouse and Keyboard, instead of going for the Lo0gitech MK200 combo which is around 700 to 800 bucks, suggest Lenovo M611 Laser Gaming Mouse which offers 1600 dpi and laser tech and comes at 650 bucks, and a normal 300 bucks Keyboard. It will greatly enhance gaming experience.

In the 25K rig, instead of i3 3220, go with either A10-5800K or A10-6800K. Even an A8-5600K is a overall better choice than i3 without any GPU.

Also, don't build multiple rigs with very close budgets like 20K and 25K. Instead, go like 25K and then 35K.

@op

That rig is mainly for CPU intencive works like Video editing, CAD, workstations. so included fx 8350 and somewhat inferior 650ti.
added that rig because many peoples are creating threads for that kind of work

he meant inferior for 3d rendering software like 3ds max and so on. Its good for gaming but not for graphics design.
A mid range quadro would cost somewhere around 30+k

Jun 22, 2013 at 11:16 PM
Getting a 650ti for a workstation is a complete waste of money. Like I said in another thread, it's better to get a non-k i7 and a B75 mobo or a cheap graphics card with the FX and invest the rest in more RAM (at least 8 GB) and a single better monitor or a dual monitor setup.

Of course, any real professional should not be looking at anything less than Socket 2011.

thanks cilus for changing title

For workstation graphic card around 30k which one is better:-
Nvidia Quadro NVS 510 2GB DDR5
Nvidia Quadro K2000 2GB DDR5
ATI FirePro V5900 2GB DDR5

NVS series is only good for multiple monitors set for 2d. They are not good for gaming but give you an options to connect upto 4 monitors at a low price. Range can be anywhere from 7k to 15k when it comes to NVS.
K2000 is very expensive and is good for 3d rendering. Most professionals would not need to buy this card as their employer would provide them with the same :p, but if you wanna get it you will have to shell out around 30k plus at least an 850W PSU
You can get an entry level quadro600 for around 10k
Quadro 4000 is above 40k and I would dare not go to that level

I have no experience with firepro

Add this : Ultimate Intel ivy bridge rig 90k

Doesn't make sense any more...
I mean anyone spending 100k would not like to listen that his sys is already previous gen..:cry:
just edit it with a haswell proccy & compatible mobO & you are good to go. ;-)

( & BTW what the heck?? system with i5 3570k named as ultimate Ivy Bridge rig?? :shock: )

The ULTIMATE gaming HASWELL RIG

Deepcool assassin - 5.3k

Sapphire HD 7970 vapour x @ 31k

WD CAVIER BLUE 500GB @ 3k
WD CAVIER BLUE 1TB @ 3.8k
WD CAVIER BLUE 2TB 5.2k
WD CAVIER BLACK 2TB @ 10k
SAMSUNG 128GB SSD 840PRO @ 6.1k

UPS:-
APC BR600VA @ 1.8k
APC BR650VA @ 2.7k
APC BR1.1KVA @ 4.9k
for Low end rigs iball/intex ups is enough.


Let's start with CPU Cooler....
Assassin is good but looses out cool after a certain limit on Ivy itself.. so for 2k extra H100i(or kraken x60) is recommended

Man it's ultimate rig GTX 770 x 2 or atleast GTX 780 are recommended..(courtesy : Smoother gameplay)

It's CAVIAR bro.. just a little typo ;-)

& how much do you expect a person to save by going for iball/intex UPS?? why not suggest APC 600VA itself for all low end rigs??

Agreeed. A person will ultimately pay more for iBall or other carp UPS' for repairing, battery replacement and fuel for commuting than the price of apc 600VA.

> In the 40k rig, instead of 650ti and 20" monitor, it will be better to use HD7770 with a 22" full HD monitor.

i will change i5-4430+h87 in haswell rig with i5-3550+intel z75 and call it ivy rig as i5-3550 overclockable to 3.7ghz+turbo+5%from bclk (thus ~3.9ghz resulted base overclock + turbo too )

and it is 4k cheaper which will be good to get 8GB ram

thus it have more potential than haswell rig

Why z87 for locked multiplier cpu i5-3550 is'nt overclckable better go for intel z75 mobo :)

:??:
i mean in 75k haswell rig (not in high end or ultimate haswell)

since intel z75 board is available at dirt cheap price so it is very good to use additional 400mhz of locked i5/7 as they have 400mhz ulocked over their default clocks
so imo i5-3550 will be better in terms of full potential in 75k haswell rig
