i am answering few questions again with new requirements: Q: What is your budget? 15-20K + 2. Q: What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model) Benq G2420HD 3. Q: Is this going to be your final...

thanks for the monitor!!! having second thoughts on system config: maybe will scale down for a locked processor CPU system capable of running windows 8 smoothly and latest games !!! any suggestions?

what about recently launched AMD hexacore and/or FX8350 processors.... are they replacements for i5-3570k on overall performance???

what about i5-3570k? is it good for virtual PC? (multiple OS running at a time???)

kindly check post 116 for updated config and prices... if there r errors or suggestions please let me know...

kindly see my first post and accordingly ask for advice as suggested by ALPHA17

harry_houdini , ALPHA17 Hi Harry, Alpha17 Finally, i have bought Benq G2420HD monitor... :) it already had DVD-D cable + VGA cable !!! looked like like a beast at first, as i am used to 15" screen of CRT monitor... :P getting used to it... other components still pending !!! what shall i...

pls pardon if i say anything funny... i am just :sign32: while comparing GIGABYTE-Z77X-D3H with Asus V gene, (forget about GIGABYTE-Z77-D3H, does not look that impressive, poor color scheme) i find v gene to be superior: good overall layout (starting to get obsessed with Asus :p) better...

after again going through the posts... here is what i am settling so far: 1. i5 3570k 15000 2. Asus V gene - will go for it anyway... don't know whether audio quality will affect for gaming and movies tht much don't want to pay for built-in wi-fi.. so not much interested in V, V-Pro.... any...

1. i5 3570k :yahoo: Never had "second thoughts" about this, am building the rig keeping in mind this component always!!! 2. Asus V gene - if you want better onboard sound and dont wanna spend on a sound card, go elsewhere , I feel this Supreme FX III is a gimmick . I have heard much better...

so what's the final config now? this thread was one of the learning experience for newer and upcoming techs and components... thank you all for supporting so far... but SEARCH still continues.............. :)

how about "Hyper 212 EVO" (for their 4 Direct Contact Heat Pipes / Aluminum Fins) ? also, for PSU did u consider cooler master silent pro M700(its moudular) as suggested by Alpha17 in PC guides?

i might be obsessed by ASUS by now, coz i am not looking beyond it... anyways... i do not find gigbyte mobo very impressive compared to ASUS or even ASRock... even the colors combinations they used seem to be odd while i liked ASrock and even Intel for tht matter... though physical appearance...

its ok harry... :) u r friend's views are also considerable... sometimes i do think why should we invest so much in desktops when everyone is shifting from desktop->notebooks->laptops->smartphones->android phones-> and now tablet PCs ??? there were also some articles predicting "Death of...

no harry, i am not a millionaire, btw to get this config i should have been one !!! i am cutting down on all other "luxury" to meet this budget! 90-95k title cud have made me fearful ! it is true that total budget might go up to 90-95k... so i mentioned "+" at the end of 50k suggesting...

found this video about cpu cooler... Thermalright Silver Arrow

ohh no, i just made another goof-up! by passive cooling setup what i intended was air cooled (thought water cooled to be active setup)... (not completely fanless setup, i won't dare to run even locked CPU with fanless heatsink! ) so, if weight on cpu+mobo is not going to have any adverse effect...
