+1 for this. See if can go with Asus M5A99FX Pro 2.0 if possible, better overclockability and build quality.

gigabyte ga-z77x-ud3h n i5 3570k is best n (nzxt phantom 410 + corsair gs800(with led)- 11400) this is killer offer. and amd
i5 3570k is much better than fx 3850 in gaming benchmark n also in gaming fps. and what is problem with gskill ram ???

1. Gaming depends more on GPU. With the Intel config, you can't even squeeze a HD 7950 in your rig but with the rig I have suggested, you are getting a HD 7970 OC (1000 MHz) version which is better than GTX 680 in most of the games. So do your math.
2. 8GB X 2 G-Skill Ram kit isn't available anywhere at 4.3K
3. Seasonic PSU which I have suggested is better than Corsair GS800 and frankly, you don't even need anything over 650W.

+1 .good config with monster gpu :2subs:

@op do try other stores in lamington like mahiveer eletronics,ambica infoysis,mccan ..others. as primeagbg doesnot have to much low price,they have litle high price than other store.

for intel rig you need 72k atleast

The performance difference between the Matrix Platinum and the Gigabyte version at stock speed will be same. The Asus one is build with a huge cooler for supporting extreme overclocking where you can play with GPU voltage safely. On the other hand, the Gigabyte one comes with their Monster Windforce 3 Fan cooler which offers very good overclocking and decent room for voltage tweaks. IMO, the 32K price of the Asus card isn't justified when the Gigabyte one is available @ 27K.

Agreed, the 5k price difference is not justified unless one wants to break world records. OP can get a better cooler with that 5k difference.

^^ Good Point. Instead of getting Hyper 212 Evo, OP can opt for a 4K cooler like DeepCool Assasssin, Gamer STorm or CM Hyper 412. With coolers like these, FX-8350 can be overclocked to 4.8 GHz. In fact, OP can get a good Motherboard like Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 @ 10.3K or MSI 990FXA-GD65 @ 8.4K.

i still having problems with this config. i found 400r is not up to mark also it looks ugly. wats ur opinion abt nzxt guardin + seasonic 620w. also nzxt phantom 410 + corsair gs800- Rs. 11400(combo offer). many told me, go for corsair or seasonic for psu. and i found that nzxt is the 1 of the best company in world for cases. so why u all not recommend this nzxt products ???

also gigabyte vs sapphire in hd 7970 which is better ?

also how to OC fx 8350 and gigabyte hd 7979 ?

i have AC in my room. so still i need costly cpu cooler ?

> Other than looks (which is subjective), 400R is a very nice cabinet.

> NZXT Guardian does not include front USB 3.0 ports. ANd there are better cabinets at that price.

> We are not suggesting NZXT Phantom cabinet because at this budget, its not VFM.

> The phantom + GS800 combo is not suggested because 800W pSU is a complete overkill for your config, or over for a GTX 770 SLI.

> Browse online sites and post a list of cabinets you like (look wise) and we'll pick the best one for you. Don't compromise on looks, get a cabinet you like. You don't buy PC's every now and then.

new nzxt guardian comes with usb 3.0. my friend has it. i also lyk it very much. so if we compare 400r vs guardian (new) which is best and why.....?? and wats ur opinion on cooler master cm advanced 2 ?

Oh, I didn't knew about a 'new' guardian, thanks for that. And cm 690 II advanced is a very nice cabinet.

ASUS M5A97 R2.0 vs M5A99FX PRO R2.0 which 1 is better and why ?

7M5A99FX PRO R2.0 >> M5A97 EVO R2.0. Reasons:

> the former one has FX990.
> The former one is SLI compatible while the later one isn't.
> Former one'e two PCIe 3.0 slots run at 16x even in dual mode.
> Former one is better build.
> Former one can support better overclocking due to better VRM and better components used.

SEASONIC SS-750JS 750W vs SeaSonic M12II 750 SS-750AM 750W which is better and why ?

GIGABYTE GV-R797OC-3GD HD 7970 3 GB GDDR5 OC with Boost Windforce Edition......... is not available @ lamington road ? so wat 2 do now ????????????????????????????

GIGABYTE GV-R797OC-3GD HD 7970 3 GB GDDR5 OC with Boost Windforce Edition ......is not available here ...wat 2 do now ?????

M12II is better cause it is 80+ bronze where as ss-750JS is just 80+ certified...
AFAIK M12II is the modular S12II(which is indeed excellent).

can an1 suggest me haswell config + gtx 770 (Or lower 700 series ) under 70K........

purely bassed on gaming.....kickass !!

Get a i5 4670K @ 16.5K and Asus GRYPHON Z87 Motherboard @ 13K. Rest will be same. For kick-ass gaming HD 7970 GHz edition (Gigabyte Windforce one is also clocked over 1000 MHz) is enough and performs similarly to GTX 770.

i have researched on net i found this......

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 WindForce 3x OC review - DX11: Futuremark 3DMark 11 & 2013

gtx 770 much faster than hd 7970....( correct me if i wrong )

1) also what will be price of gtx 770 in india...( Mumbai )

2) also i5 4670 is enough or i5 4670K is much better ?.....( it is worth for spending extra 4k on 4670K ???? )

The extra 4K is for the K series (unlocked) processor. If you'll be over clocking, you should consider getting a compatible motherboard and after market cooler too.

+1 for cilus' suggetion 4th gen i5 K series will give you true kickass gaming performence add CM hyper evo as cpu cooler.
Now for graphic card...
> if you are not planning for dual card systen in near future then GB windforce 7970 is best VFM grapgic solution for you.
>If you want dual card in NEAR future then gtx 770 would be better option.

but I think gtx 770 X 2 sli would be overkill

so 7970 seems best

GTX 770 price in india is about 33k where 7970 windforce = 26.8(smcinternational)

The windforce edition of GTX 770 is not available in India and surely it will be priced 30K+ when available. Now the thing is it might perform better than HD 7970 GHz edition or a normal HD 7970 clocked over 1000 MHz but the thing is how much performance improvement you will get. Most of the reviews haave shown it is maximum 4% in some of the games and for rest of the games either they are equally matched or 7970 has some small advantage. Now for 3 to 5 FPS higher, if you're willing to pay 3 to 4K extra then get the GTX 770.
Regarding overclocking, recently Hardocp has performed a in depth review of the three cards, GTX 770, GTX 680 and HD 7970 GHz edition. They overclocked all the cards to their maximum level which is around 1250 MHz and on that speed, all of them actually performs similarly.

basically, HD7970 > GTX770 when to comes to VFM.
