    51-70k Gaming/Music Production Rig

    Here's an update. I'm back from my Ladakh tour & visited Lamington Road to inquire about the parts. The Radeon 7850 2 GB Power Edition retails for 16,900 & nobody is willing to go lower than that. On the other hand, MSI GTX 660 TI Power Edition was available for Rs 22,000, which seems more...

    51-70k Gaming/Music Production Rig

    It helps a lot mate. I will keep an eye on the nVidia GTX660 too. So when the day of final judgement shall arrive, I will go with the best 16-18k deal I get at any of the many IT vendors at Lamington road. Here's hoping daddy doesn't inquire about the break down of the pc cost. :cloud9: Cheers ...

    51-70k Gaming/Music Production Rig

    My thoughts exactly. Portability is not THAT much of a concern. I dont think its reasonable to spend an additional 7k for a more portable rig and I do prefer quality. I assume the config you recommended can still be moved around although it will not be very comfortable to do so. I only want to...

    51-70k Gaming/Music Production Rig

    Not sure how to edit previous posts. I want to know if AMD HD7770 is good enough for my gaming needs. The price is appealing but I dont mind blowing off extra 6-7k if the graphic card serves me well for at least 2 years. Also, I will want to occasionally move the rig around to hook it up with my...

    Thanks Alhpa17 ! If you resided around Mumbai I would personally deliver you a cookie for your contributions. However, I'm passing by Delhi in a week and heading for a 10 day Ladakh tour... will be procuring the components after that, around 3 weeks from now.
