@Shotdead Here's are few options-
Intel i7 3770-19.5k
ASUS P8H77-M-8.5k OR Intel DH77KC-7k
G.Skill RIPJAWSX OR Corsair XMS3 4GB x4 ~6k
Segate 1TB 7200RPM HDD-5.4k
MSI N670GTX-OC-28k OR SAPPHIRE HD 7970 3GB-34.5k
Crutial M4 128GB SSD-8k
Corsair TX750V2-7k OR Corsair HX750W-9.3k
Corsair Carbide 400R-5k OR Nzxt Temptest EVO-5.5k
Logitech G400+Logitech K200 Keyboard-2k
Dell U2312HM-14.5k OR Asus PA238Q-18.5k[Both are E-IPS Monitors,The Asus one has better picture quality]
APC1.1KVA-4.8k
Altec Lansing BXR1221-1.2k
Hope this helps.:)
 
@Shotdead I would suggest you to go for below config..

Intel core i7 3770K : 22k
Asrock Z77 extreme 6 : 12.5k
Gskill DDR3 8GB * 2 1600Mhz : 6.8k
Nvidia GTX 670 : 28k
Corsair 750TX V2 : 7k
NZXT Phantom 410 : 6.2k
Crucial 128GB M4 SSD : 8.5k
Seagate 1TB 7200.14 Sata3 : 5k

Total : 96000/-

4000Rs you can spend on keyboard/mouse or speakers :D

else you can save money by taking Asrock Z77 extreme 4 (10.5k) and buy BenQ G2420HD which will cost you 9.8k and if budget allows then go for Dell U2312HM @ 15k

PS : Where are you from? If you are buying above components online then the cost would get increase by 5-7%

Please read OP's requirements before suggesting,He doesn't want to overclock so K series processor+Z77 combo is not recommended,Also you forgot to add Monitor which will cost over 12k.

Ans NOT NOW

Q: Which hardware component
are you looking to buy
(component name).
Ans - Anything that will be good for next 3 years.

Overclocking not now but might be in future as he is not going to upgrade in next 3 years so definitely he needs to OC his cpu after say 2 years to be in market :D
 
2 Years is a very long gap considering the processor lineup changes every 10-12 months,He can get better components after 2 years so no point in getting overclocking setup now.It's better to go with non overclocking rig.

The total of K Series rig will cost OP 12k more than his budget considering the combo 35k and to overclock the processor he'll have to get Noctua NH U12P-SE2-3.9k OR Thermalright Silver Arrow-4.5k.It's better to go with what op wants and giving him what's within his budget.Hope this clears things,Cheerio.
dude its a que of 2k Rs only.. he is spending 100k on his setup :x

Hmm sounds ok..
 
..........
Also This beast is Far powerful + has better Cooling :p

Zotac GTX 670 AMP! Edition

Hi .... You have pointed out a new online source on TE (location Kolkata & Kanpur). How reliable are they to place orders ? They also seem to have most things in stock ........... even the elusive 3570K INTEL CORE i5 3570K 3rd Gen ???

Jakob .....
1] OP could go for 3570K instead of 3770 ..... (without affecting performance majorly) and with the money saved he could go in for an after market cooler that's always advantageous for an ivybridge proc
2] Also a monitor within 10-12K and with the money saved an SSD is a must for a budget of this sort
3] pump RAM to 16GB - will be useful for Maya & After Effects that OP wants to use it for

Hello Terence, the Intel Core i5 3570k is only in short-supply in places like Bombay, Madras and Delhi whilst it is quite easy to find in Bangalore where it was retailing for as low as ~14500/- from Golccha Computers.

@Shotdead this is what I suggest --
Intel Core i5 3570k ~15500/-
ASUS P8Z77-M PRO ~12500/-
G.Skill RIPJAWS 4GB x4 1600MHz ~6000/-
AMD HD7870 2GB ~22500/- [over-clock this now to gain more performance]
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB[64MB cache] ~5000/-
Crucial M4 120GB SSD ~8500/- OR OCZ Vertex4 120GB ~8000/-
HP [boxed] optical drive ~1000/-
Corsair TX v2650W ~5800/- OR Corsair AX650W ~6800/-
Corsair Carbide 400R ~5500/- OR NZXT Tempest EVO ~6500/-
DELL Ultrasharp U2312M ~15000/-
LOGITECH G400 /G300 ~1500/-
TVS Gold Mechanical keyboard ~1500/- OR MICROSOFT Sidewinder X4 ~2000/-
APC BR1100VA-IN ~5000/-

If you want to over-clock this processor later [say ~1 -->1[SUP]1[/SUP]/[SUB]2[/SUB] years], add a CPU cooler then.

Hope this helps, Cheerio!

Yes you're right about the 3570K,Let OP decide if he wants an overclocking rig or not.I think getting a overclocking rig won't be a good idea considering OP lack of interest in it.An E-IPS Monitor gives you way better picture quality and contrast than TN Panel.Getting an IPS Monitor would be a better thing considering it fits the budget.Adding extra ram will boost up.

Guys , I have decided to buy these .
Intel Core I7 2600K @ 17.5K
ASUS P8Z77 M PRO @ 12K
Gskill RipJAWSx 4 GB 1600x 2 @3K
SEAGATE 1 TB HDD @ 5K
ASUS DVD RW @ 1K
Corsair TX750 @ 7K
Cooler Master HAF 922 @ 7K
ZOTAC GTX 670 @ 30K
ALTEC LANSING BXR1331 @ 1.5K
LOGITECH G400 @ 1.5K
MICROSOFT Sidewinder X4 @ 2K
SAMSUNG LS23B370H @ 10K
NUMERIC 1KVA UPS @ 4K
TOTAL 101.5K
Please review this config . I Need I7 for the video rendering .
I dont need a 15K monitor, 10K for a monitor will be fine. I live in Chennai . All these prices were from a shop in Ritchie Street .
 
Instead of going for Zotac GTX670 go for MSI GTX670OC OR Sapphire/Msi HD7950.
For Monitor go for DELL U2312HM-14.5k[You won't regret putting some extra bucks for an IPS Panel],If not then go for Dell ST2220L-8.5k OR Benq G2420HD-11k.
You can go for Ivy Bridge i5 3570K-15.5k also,Still i7 will perform good.
Everything else is fine,Cheers.:)

DELLUltrasharp U2312M is best in Class!

And remember Zotac 670 AMP! Edition Not normal one!

There are 2 Cards

Zotac gtx 670
Zotac gtx 670 AMP! Edition ------------>Buy this one

Image Reference

1-ZOTAC-s-GeForce-GTX-670-AMP-Edition-Is-Official.jpg


And I would also Suggest to go with Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 ATX Motherboard hovering around at 10K or u kind-of Like like Micro-ATX?
 
Here are the cons of Zotac GTX670 AMP Edition-
Card had to be repaired first
Cooler not as quiet as it could be
Triple slot cooler design not for all
Dynamic OC can't be turned off
Manual overclocking more complicated than before
No technology similar to AMD's ZeroCore power
Also Zotac doesn't have good A.S.S as Msi and Msi has better cooling system and A.S.S than Zotac so it's better to stick to MSI GTX670 OC Edition-27.5k
MSI N670GTX-PM2D2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Graphic Card
Zotac AMP! Edition is better bro :p with better Cooling!

Seriously? According to this Review Sound Level And Temperature: Stock Settings : Seven GeForce GTX 670 Cards, Benchmarked And Reviewed

It has far better Cooling,..Has better Performance then Stock 680 :p

While the MSi Card is Reference Design! it wont have Goooood Cooling at Max OC or During Heavy gaming! :p

at 2.25K More this is Better deal isnt it? :p :23:
 
I don't know where you've read that MSI isn't good enough.Here's a review-MSI GTX 670 Power Edition Twin Frozr IV 2 GB Review | techPowerUp
The MSI Twin Frozr series is specially built for overclocking and superior cooling,The link you've shared doesn't compare MSI GPU to the Zotac and if you look at it the zotac gpu has worse noise torture of all.If you don't want to be convinced then i can't do anything but if you go through the techpowerup review then you'll get an idea about how good the msi card is.Hope this clears things,cheers.:)

Guys , I dont want to try Asrock boards . ASUS or GIGABYTE will be fine.
Now I am also thinking of going with a 120 GB SSD . Suggest me the best one . All the component in my previous post will be final except MOBO , GFX CARD , MONITOR .
