Sorry for ignoring the detains, was a bit pissed off :oops:

Here is the config:

CPU: i5 3570k (14000)
motherboard: msi Z77A-G45 (9000)
GPU: Sapphire HD7870 2 GB Vapour-x (17000)
RAM: G.Skill RipkawsX 1600 MHz 4 GB x2 (1700x2)
PSU: Corsair CX500v2 (3500)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2 TB (5500)

total: 52400

If you want, you can opt for single 4 GB ram instead of two 4 GB rams.

ausam config thanks for hlping out only prob is u went too high on that grafic card if i can arrange that ammount i will definately go for this config


but can u give me a alternate option on that grafic card may be in a range between 13~15K as aditional to this cost i will also need cabinate + dvd writer + the assembler if i add this price it will go more higher in price

i went to a wholeseller i got all good price quotes on the above config

CPU: i5 3570k
motherboard: msi Z77A-G45 -cpu+mobo=22000
RAM: G.Skill RipkawsX 1700 MHz 4 GB X 2 = 3400
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB = 3800
cabinet - NZXT Gamma = 2150
Sapphire HD7870 2 GB = 15500
cx500v2 - 3500 = 3200
OPD -Asus DRW-24B5ST Internal Optical Drive= 750

can this config work good if i attach another but same moniter to it??? DELL ST2220M
how to partition 1tb memory
will i need extra air cooling fans if i overclock in NZXT Gamma cabinet? if yes please link me
can i extend my ram above 8gb will that help or its just a waste of money?

will i need extra air cooling fans if i overclock in NZXT Gamma cabinet? if yes please link me
can i extend my ram above 8gb will that help or its just a waste of money?

the Gamma is the best cabby in its price range.. it can house 6 extra fans.. check my signature..

for now, 8GB is more than enough.. get 2x4GB sticks for dual channel config. and make sure to install x64 OS for the RAM

To utilize the potential of an unlocked Intel Processor, you need a good Z77 chipset based Motherboard. My choice is Asus P8Z77-VLX. Normally the sub 9K Z77 boards lack the quality for tweaking and go with the Asus or Gigabyte Motherboard instead of MSI.

thank you
since the board you are using uses 4 phase power design for cpu
so if you want to overclock then i will say go with i5-2500k and hyper 212 evo instead of 3570k

Why go for an older CPU? If budget is the problem, then OP can go for i5 3570 now and get a cooler next month by saving some money.

because op can get more performance after overclocking these chips

as the board is equiped with only 4 phase power design for cpu so overclock of 3570k will be less than that of 2500k

3570k is only 5% more powerfull in ipc but costs ~2k more which is not justifiable for 5% performance increase

Instead of getting the standard 7870 2GB models, the OP can opt for the Sapphire 7870 2GB XT which is based on tahiti instead. Its basically the same card as the 79xx series just with some cores cut out. Its performance comes excruciatingly close to the 7950 on stock and it can easily match a stock 7950 when overclocked. The thing is that I am not sure about its price and availability but it should be around 19-20k IMO. Its a good middle ground between the standard 7870 and the 7950, leaning more towards the higher performing one.

You can also consider Bitfenix Merc Alpha within the same price range. It has some very nice reviews and its build quality is excellent.
