Well processor that you chose was also chosen by me ...but the RAM, SSD, CD Drive, GPU, and rest things are not so good!
I also made my own list which had (I didn't remembered all the names but i know their prices and a bit more details)
...So, processor - 20K(i7-4770K),
GPU - 40K(R9-290X),
Ram - 15K (16GB, Kingston HyperXBeast),
Mobo - 20K(asus ROG .....),
SSD - 5K(128GB Samsung.......),
HDD - 5K(2TB),
BluRay Drive - 5K(L.G. ........),
Cabinet - 8K(cooler Master ......),
PSU - 8K

Total is 1,26,000 INR and then keyboard and mouse for 4K hardly, and there you go with an ultimate beast! I don't think that the rig you suggested will outperform flawlessly/better than mine....I am actually looking here for someone to improve this list, or to tell me something that I may be going wrong with.
BTW thanks for your support and I will surely post the pics once I have made the machine!

PS: those "........." means that there is some thing more in the name which I don't remember.

Sapphire R9 290X is available for 50k. Sapphire R9 290X 4 GB - Hardwire.in

I mean that in comparison to the rig that you give with the Rig that I suggest; I think that mine one will outperform.

harshilsharma63 said:

Okay so add 4K to my budget, but I can get it for 20K from my nearby store. So now you may deduct 4K :

harshilsharma63 said:
> 290x isn't available in India yet.

Know that, but I hope that within one month atleast it would come in India, BTW do you have any idea when it would be available in India?

harshilsharma63 said:
> What do you want to do with HyperX Beast, break world overclocking records? Its a complete waste of cash and you'll not notice ANY performance difference between hyperx blu, hyperxbeast or even corsair value select.

ok, but i'll still go with at least 16GB, but can choose some cheaper one as you told...any suggestion for this?

harshilsharma63 said:

I see, ok, so tell me something within 20K which should be high-end for gaming with Red and White audio outputs(the one that we use for connection SD TV with DVD plyer or STB) ...(HDMI is must)

That's a lot of money being overspent for a system where one will be gaming on 1080p resolution.

It would be a lot better to get 2x Samsung 840 and raid them rather than getting a single 840 pro. He can stick with either a WD Green 2TB or a Toshiba DT01ACA 2TB drive as secondary storage. A lot of reviews pointed out that H80i performs better than H100i- or else there's swiftech H220 and CM Seidon 240M.

Stick with vengeance kits. If you see real world benchmarks and not synthetic, it doesn't make much sense- plus you can tweak the timings on vengeance kits pretty easily. The rest is your choice. 1.30L is a LOT of money for a gaming system with occasional Photoshop and converting video formats.

^ agreed 100%. For JUST gaming, a console is always better.

I didn't say console is better!

. But 1.30 lakh is a lot for a gaming rig. His other workload wouldn't even require such a high end rig. If he just wants to spend money just like that, that's another part of the story.

But you can't expect pc like graphics in a console.

Yeah, that's lot of money but still I'd go for a PC rather than a console coz of many reasons ...Just want to ask you few questions:

1) The Best-est processor for Hardcore Gaming + hardcore multi tasking?
2) Is GTX 780 better than R9-290X?(asking coz many users on this forum are suggesting this)
3) The Best mother board which can at least run continuously for 6 hours or 15 hours with 6hours of sleep mode.

Answers would be appreciated!

i5 4570k 15k

1) I7 4770k

2)No R9 -290x is faster than gtx 780 roughly around 6-7 %.Here gtx 780 is VFM as for r9 290x you have to spend more money

Sorry for butting in , but if you have so much at hand, why not spend 70000 on a kick ass PC, make an FD out of the remaining 60000 -> 3 years later that FD would have increased to 75000 and old rig is no more cool -> dump old rig -> make kick ass rig out of 75000 again! I only say this, coz when the next shiny proccy/gpu are released that are wayyy better than current gen hardware, you'll be tempted to upgrade again!

OK guys Finally I got almost all of my answers, just few things are left, so I want all of you to give your views in it.

1) Which is the best among these both MAXIMUS VI HERO or MAXIMUS VI GENE? BTW the mobo should be able to play Hardcore games at ultra settings on 1080p, 40 inch HDTV. Best-est audio quality is preferred. Average overclocking. PLEASE DO NOT CONSIDER THEIR PRICE TAG!

2) There are tons of 16GB RAM of vengeance series, I can't understand with which to go? ...So please suggest me some of 2 Sticks * 8GB = 16GB (with exact model name) The RAM should not be of more than 20K!

3) I searched a lot about GPU's and have thought to go with R9-290 as its cheaper and almost equal to R9-290X ...So tell me that am I doing right or should I change GPU?

4) How much power Supply should be needed by me? If possible then suggest something Gold Rated within 10K.

5) Do you know how can I get audio of my games/computer to my Sony's Home Theather, using those YellowWhiteRed leads that we use to connect our TV to DVD player or SetTop box?

Thanks once again, to everyone for helping me ...I'll be surely posting up the pics of my machine next month or so.
If you want to give some other suggestion then please please please give it. REP will be added soon! Thanks Again!

your mobo is not the one which play games.you should choose a very good cpu and gpu. mobo has nothing to do with it. Why do you want to select such a enthusiastic mobo for "average overclocking"?

2) There are tons of 16GB RAM of vengeance series, I can't understand with which to go? ...So please suggest me some of 2 Sticks * 8GB = 16GB (with exact model name) The RAM should not be of more than 20K!

i dont think you need 16 gb ram for your purpose. get 8 gb now.upgrade later when you really want 16 gb for your uses.

3) I searched a lot about GPU's and have thought to go with R9-290 as its cheaper and almost equal to R9-290X ...So tell me that am I doing right or should I change GPU?

depend on the price it is available.

4) How much power Supply should be needed by me? If possible then suggest something Gold Rated within 10K.

for a single gpu, select a good 650 W psu. if you plan on sli-ing or crossfiring later, get good 850W unit. Seasonic SS-850KM3 850 or cosair ax860

Stick to Asus Z-87A . If you want to spend more go for Z87 Pro which has Bluetooth NFC and WiFi.

The PSU stated above is from seasonic which is a Gold rated one with 5 years warranty and its link: Welcome to Seasonic USA
This PSU is available with Tirupati Enterprises and you can call Mr.Hariharan Ph:9343807936 regarding the PSU.

What I have given is when he asked for a change the second time. The above config is more than enough for the next 3-4 years also but he again wants something that isn't there right.

Ok so tell me that how Z87 Pro is better than Maximus VI Hero/Gene?

you dont need hero or gene mobo. you are not trying to make world records by liquid cooling your cpu,gpu ,ram ..,benchmarking daily etc (and see flames your pc). are you??

1600mhz ...isn't that low? Suggest something awesome with price tag around 16K

is this a benchmarking machine?? those high speed memory are for those overclocking enthusiasts, not for a regular home used. you will not get the benefit you want for your money. save the rest money. you will need it urgently at any poin of your life time. you wont need to search for "need",:it will come at right time. So save extra money or deposit in bank. dont waste for something which is not usable for you.

+1 to what our fellow TDF member rijinpk1 says.

I think we have given op enough suggestions, all of which completely fulfill the gaming and average overclocking requirement.

P

wait for gtx 780 Ti or r9 290 to arrive. in any case, this is not the right time to buy graphic cards as amd and nvidia are released one card after the other with great performance for the price.

get an lcd monitor. you will not able to see things properly in a LCD tv, especially for non gaming activities like gaming unless the font size is large and you are maintaining a living room viewing distance. you can import a catleap monitor with 2560 x 1600 resolution which would cost 25k- or get a high end dell monitor that costs 55k.

....Okay so how much MHz RAM would be enough for me if I multi-task alot such as using 20-30 tabs on firefox then PS and a video conversion going on? I need alteast 16GB, so give me 2sticks * 8GB ram suggestions only.

BTW i saw that almost everyone suggested me Corsair H80i, is it really required? I mean that it's just simply a CPU cooler and if I am not wrong then will my CPU would get that hot that I need this? Detailed answer would be appreciated!

^ again

we already suggested you many time - 1600mhz

P

If you want to buy Hyperx beast or dominator platinum or republic of gamers just because they are hyped brand names, go ahead. people should buy something because it is useful for them rather than buying for a brand name. Question you need to ask is what is the fundamental difference between them all? except the colour scheme, certain features and buttons? Maybe even formfactor? Do you need anything more than 4 PCIe slots? Do you need more than 2 slots? Do you really think the CPU will bottleneck for gaming? Do you think the graphic card will entertain you for a long time?

a lot of people buy rog because of the brand presence. then comes for those who want to make boutique systems and modders. the ones who buy for specific usefulness is dramatically less. for rest of them asrock extreme 6 class, asus standard motherboards, gigabyte d3h, ud3h are more than enough. Even they overclock nicely as well, especially for those who stick to air or closed loop water cooling. save money on things you can. Most of the z87 board can give a very good bump on core clock without breaking a sweat or changing the voltage. if you are doing fine tuning for benching and what not, that's a different part of the story. however if you were buying with the sole intention of benchmarking, we would usually see a pretty technical skillset from your end- and probably wouldn't have asked this question in a forum. so, think about it. that's why i dont like motherboard brands, because they know their lower cost motherboards are good but they try to promote hyped products to earn money out of it. bad signs from companies making stuff for a dying market. processors don't outlast their usefulness even on stock for a long time- unless you're buying some celeron/pentium/ or amd equivalent type processors and expect a lot from them. dont believe the hype.

^ again we already suggested you many time - 1600mhz

sorry for asking the same thing many times ...Just a few things are left.

1) Please suggest some Best-est WiFi Network Card(not the USB one; the one that is fixed on mobo) ...For me the range should be the best ...Budget is Around 1,500 INR

2) Also suggest me a bluetooth adapter, it can also be inbuilt with wifi adapter or you may suggest a whole new piece for bluetooth.

2) Do i really need a cooler (someone said Corsair H80i ) ??? will my CPU be that hot that it needs it??? (please please answer this!)

You said in your questionnaire that you want to OC. For that, it is safe to get a liquid cooler or atleast a good quality air cooling solution. If you don't want to OC, you can stick with stock cooler too.

As for RAM, I think you should first buy single 8GB stick and try your system. Most probably you won't feel the need. And If you do feel the need, adding another stick is just 2 screws away.

Latency is a better indicator of RAM performance than MHz. Just saying

BTW Since your budget is vast, why not go for dual monitor setup if interested?

since you have the budget, get a liquid cooler as i7 4770k will get hotter over time. you can do 4.7ghz stably,i think

Made a few changes.

Intel i7 -4770K @24000
Asus Z87-A @13000
Corsair Vengeance 8GB @5200
Sapphire R9 290X @46000
Seasonic SS-750KM3 @10800
CM Storm Stryker @14000
Asus Blu-ray BW-12B1ST @7000
WD Caviar Green 2TB @6000
SAMSUNG 128 GB SSD 840 EVO @7000
Logitech G105 Keyboard @2600
Logitech G400S Mouse @2600

Total 138200

Add H80i later when you plan to OC. But with your kind of usage, you may not find the need. Still everything is there if you need except water cooling.
PS. I added a good looking cabinet

Alternate Cabinets
NZXT Phantom 530 @10K
NZXT Switch 810 @10.5K
Antec TwelveHundred @11K
CM Storm @8300
Corsair 500R @ 7500

Get Wd Red 2tb instead of green one

i suggest wd black

WD 2tb is 10k but worth it if op wants. Or he can go for barracuda 2tb which is cheaper but better than wd green. Seagate is a mixed bag when it comes to ASS though

A

I'd wait for yous assembled peice lets see how it works.
I have a similar thought of switiching to one so this would and should be a big help il research and also give my inputs asap.

for this budget,wd black is the way to go for its reliability and 5 years of warranty makes it a sweet deal.

Well I also now think to go with black (and I will go with it only!)

....So coming to PSU ...I have listed a few below please tell me the best out of them(do not consider their price tag, BTW all are around 9K)

1) Corsair Professional Series HX 750 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Gold (HX750)

2) Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 750 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze (TX750M)

3) Corsair CX Series 750 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze ATX12V/EPS12V 744 Power Supply CX750M

4) Rosewill 750W 80 PLUS Platinum Certified Power Supply FORTRESS-750

5) Corsair Professional Series 760 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Platinum Power Supply AX760

Please vote the best one on the basis of performance and if you have something another then recommend that too.

I have chose to get SSD, HDD, PSU, Case, RAM sticks from USA, so would there be any problem in compatibility if I am using a Indian bought processor, mobo, GPU and other parts?

^ you will not get warranty in india on products if you buy from foreign countries.

My vote goes for Hx 750w

The problem is they won't ship to India...and just now I read amazon's policies and it says that import duty is 380/kg ...which will make my parts bought from US to be of equal value as in India! ...So I think now I should drop the plan of buying from amazon...would love to see some other site shipping to india without any tax/duties. Thanks for you work on pc-Part picker...Almost everything is read I'll be soon posting my list for the review of you guys! Thanks a lot again

You are going for K series processor and a Z87 ROG mobo but don't need CPU cooler? ROG motherboards are made specifically for overclocking. If you are planning to overclock, get good a cooler. Otherwise go for i5-4670/ i7-4770 with MSI H87 Gaming series mobo. Save bucks here and add GTX780Ti (will be available soon) instead of R9-290x

Also 1866MHz will function as 1600MHz by default. You will have to OC to achieve 1866. But it won't make any difference. So stick with 1600MHz

^^^^Adding to that,Not just any cooler
A corsair H80i or H100i

Yes. However I think op is a bit confused about overclocking stuff. For his kind of usage (gaming, photoshop etc) OCing is not required and i5 4670 is more than capable

Yeah you are right, I am really confused that I need to overclock or not! ...So tell me that do i have to overclock if I am going to do following things...

1) Hardcore multi-tasking, in which I'll open 20 tabs on Firefox, 10 tabs on chrome, with Photoshop opened plus a file transfer is going on in background and other small things such as utorrent are opened.

2) While serious gaming @ ultra settings on 1080p on a 40inch HDTV; do i need Overclocking here?

Please tell me in which cases(1 & 2) I require OCing?

I don't want to go with mATX and neither with a case designed more for a mATX because they niether look PC nor laptop! and thus creates a unknows look ....BTW thanks for ODD suggestion and I might consider it ....please recommend me some other case for ATX around 10K

For both use cases, I don't think OCing is necessary.

case
CM Storm Enforcer 8k
Corsair 500r 7.1k (doesnot come with a window but you can mod it,v.good case overall)
Corsair 650D 11k

go with i7 as hyperthreating will be useful in multitasking and games in future

Overclocking cpu increase performance by small amount.I donot think it is worthwile specially the work you mentioned as you have to pay extra (8k + 8k+ 2k) 18k for cooler,mobo and cpu.

Rembember not every gamer overclock his cpu :wink:

10 k for cabinet is very big overkill. Do not waste your money like water. Get corsair 350d @6.5k

MSI H87-G43 Gaming* ₹9,800.00
G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (x2) ₹10,000.00

Total 1.31 lakhs

Add case fans too, R9-290x can make things hot in there

I think for "Pure" gaming anything equal to i7-4770 or above will work same, so I recommend not to go with K version and save few thousands, still buy a cooler CM TX3(intel stock cooler is cr@p)
IMO spend as much money as you can on graphics, for cabinet go for CM storm Enforcer or cheaper dont spend too much on cabby.

Rig looks great! BTW how is the sound of MSI H87-G43?
and anyone knows that what is the price/expected market release date of GTX 780Ti?

Still not available. Will be around 60k

hey I just noticed that MSI H87-G43 Gaming has H87 chipset, whereas 4770K/non K says Z87 ...I don't know what these chippset thing is, but I think that different chipset might create some problem ...So are you sure that I would require MSI H87-G43 Gaming?

2000$ Gaming PC Guide.....

ULTIMATE Build a Better $2000 Gaming & Silent Workstation PC Computer "How To" Guide - YouTube

Processor K vs non-K simply indicates in processor can be overclocked or not

i5/i7 - 4xxx series are 4th generation Haswell processors with LGA1150 socket

Chipsets compatible with this socket are
Intel H87 Chipset
Intel Z87 Chipset
Intel B85 Chipset
Intel Q87 Chipset, Intel Q85 Chipset, Intel H81 Chipset

Out of these Z87 allows overclocking K series processors. So makes no sense to buy Z87 if you are buying non-K processor.
Other popular chipsets are B85 which is quite basic and H87 (more ports compared to B85 and possibly slightly better components)

So according to your needs and budget H87 suits you best

If you still have doubts see *ark.intel.com/products/75122/ under compatible products

z87 are meant for K series cpu - specially for overclocking

H87 is fine for i7 4770

for 290x, get the custom cooled ones. dont go for stock coolers for now. 780 ti will be costly in india and for price/performance ratio 290x has a positive edge.

edit:
also for mobo, i would suggest to go for asus h87 pro. you are likely to have problems with msi rma.

Go for asus H87 pro MSI one has a lot of negative reviews, also asus is way better when it comes to aftersales services

ok, but any idea where can I get 290X at cheaper rate (I checked hardwire.in and it says 50K!)

The main reason I don't want to go with h87 pro is that it doesn't offer me good sound quality and also it doesn't offer wifi and bluetooth. I was thinking to got with i7-4700K with Z87-pro or Maximus VI hero

BTW tell me which one is better i7-4700K or i7-4700 or i7-4771? (Suggest the one which has more performance and best for multi-tasking)

check local shops if possible. i think custom cooled ones are not released here afaik.

z87 is a waste of money if you dont overclock. you can add wifi and bluetooth add in cards and there is no need to look for a mobo with built in wifi and bluetooth.
you may decide yourself whether to overclock or not. also you can add sound card separately for good sound quality

To my suggested configuration add Xonar DG sound card ~ 1500 and a WiFi/Bluetooth expansion card ~2000

that msi board has a good audio chip built in. but only the problem he may face is regarding the rma.

Okay so I'd go with i7-4771 and now suggest me mobo which must have the best sound quality with and should have at least 4 USB2.0 ports and few USB 3.0 ports are also welcomed. Thanks a ton!

rijinpk1 said:

What is RMA?

H

let me google that for you

H87-G43-Gaming has
4 x USB 3.0 ports (2 ports on the back panel)
10 x USB 2.0 ports (6 ports on the back panel)

Asus H87 Pro has
6 x USB 3.0 ports (4 at back panel)
8 x USB 2.0 ports (4 ports on the back panel)

So you are getting a total of 8 USB ports on rear. Asus is a better combo because USB 3 is backward compatible and supports usb 2 devices fully.

No. of Front panel ports depend on your cabinet so dont worry about it. Most have 2-4

I suggest MSI because of its looks. Asus H87 Pro is excellent and Asus has a good service support.

What is RMA?

Return merchandise authorization. when your mobo/any product get faulty,you have to send it to the service center for repairing/replacing.that procedure is called rma. you are likely to face problems with msi rma procedure
get asus h87 pro and a good sound card. asus xonar series are very good for the price,

rijinpk1 said:

Just wanted to know that will I ever require RMA?

BTW I'll now go with H87 Pro and can you recommend me some good sound card which should have either Optical S/PDIF out or should have those RCA output ...(GOOGLE "RCA" to know what exactly I am talking about)

Just wanted to know that will I ever require RMA?

how can we tell you that ? computer hardware can fail anytime.

hi, I am almost finalized just 1-2 doubts left ...

1) Which would be the beast in performance --> Two X R9-280X OR Single R9-290X ??

2) I have found some sites which takes my order from amazon and then ships to india...So my question is this that are such sites trustworthy?

3) As I might get products from USA, so how much custom duites and all taxes would be payed and how is it calculated?

Thanks for answering above questions.

1)two r9 280x will be much faster than a single 290x. but i would suggest to go with a single card than multi gpus. r9 290x is very much capable for 1080p displays. remember to get a custom cooled one.
2)you will not get warranty and i wont recommend that especially for expensive components.

If you import computer components from abroad then it maximum chance is that you won't get any Indian warranty. Now for gaming, theoretically two 280X will perform better. All the AMD cards apart from the new R9 290 series do have some multi gpu scaling issues. Although AMD has resolved those by a quiet a margin, those solutions are software based approach. Also Multi-GPU does have higher power consumption and inconsistency in different games. On the other hand, R9 290X is based on the newer GCN 1.1 architecture and it is pretty much okay for all games at 2560X1440 or XHD resolution and will be be able to play all the current or upcoming games at maximum possible setting in 1920X1080 or 1920X1200 (Full HD) resolution. So better opt for it. However, wait a little for the cards with custom coolers like Sapphire VaporX, MSi Lightning etc.

what does custom cooled means? and just to again be sure, you would suggest 2 * R9-280X OR 1 * R9-290X? (don't take power consumption in evaluating them)

you said that warranty would not be there.,... so would I require it? means what type of problems could occur that I need to use warranty?

the gpu which comes with great coolers unlike stock ones. r9 290x runs hotter on stock cooler and a custom cooler is recommended. cilus suggested to go with a dinlge r9 290x for now as it is more than enough for 1080p displays.
for warranty, we can not predict when will it be needed. it is not recommended to buy expensive components from abroad unless you have relatives who can handle rma issues in abroad itself

A

i guess z87 is good enough.

and any idea that when the custom cooled ones would come? BTW you said that r9 290x runs hotter, so is that much hot for continuous 2-3 hours work recommended or not?

@op custom duties are really high,there would be minimal price differences.Get from india.

under load it reaches 95 degrees with stock cooler. so i dont recommend as in the long run, the life of gpu may decrease badly.
I dont know when will those custom cooled ones be available. better wait now,

GPU life!? BTW what is the normal life of GPU?

running at higher temperatures will certainly degrade the performance over time. Gpu life depends on "ON" time and load it takes.

Basically on average life is 4-5 years or more

ispyder said:

Exemption for goods marked as gift is maximum INR 10,000/- more over that depends on the inspecting official. If your good are been delivered by a reputed courier company viz DHL, FedEx etc do not expect them to negotiate with the customs for you.

They will pay the duty on your behalf and will be on your door step to collect it from you.

At times I have paid zero duties and at times I have paid hefty sums hence one cannot predict what may happen..

Average rate for customs on electronics and toys is in the range of 30 - 40% ....

I am talking based on my experience, I usually do a lot of shopping from various US based sites and then consolidate all the deliveries at one freight forwarding company myus.com who intern forward my packages post inspection and consolidation, they do repacking rein voicing and stuff...

This way I have saved quite a good amount...

amazon.com has a global shipping program and some tie up with Indian customs, they charge you customs and duties at checkout, you need not pay anything when the items are delivered however this is applicable only to the items sold and shipped by Amazon as the seller ....

that's why i dont like motherboard brands, because they know their lower cost motherboards are good but they try to promote hyped products to earn money out of it. bad signs from companies making stuff for a dying market. processors don't outlast their usefulness even on stock for a long time- unless you're buying some celeron/pentium/ or amd equivalent type processors and expect a lot from them. dont believe the hype.

you sure about that?
