Try to increase budget to 88k and take Ati 5870 (The fastest graphics card around and it is DX11).
Or else stick to 80 k but do take nothing less than Ati 5850 at such a budget

Thanks guys for the suggestionsā€¦If i had to choose between a motherboard having the X58 chipset or the P55 chipset, which one should i choose? Also, between Nvidia 260GTX and Ati 5770 which one would you suggest?

6

Of course the ATI 5770, or wait;) for 300 series.

IMHO this is well balanced for features, power, usage - for HD movies especially but high end gaming :no_entry: .

Dude this rig you gonna use for downloads. :no_entry:

80K is a big amount, wait for more replies plzz and do not haste take over.

7

Gaming

Browsing

Desktop Processing

HTPC

Download rig, 24x7 operation

Watching HD movies

Well i think an all in one rig will be waste. If you really need a 24x7 downloading machine then make a headless setup and with the rest of the money buy your gaming rig.

Between i5 and i7 i think i7 setup will cost more as you will have to go for tri channell memory rather than dual channel as in case of i5

8

Minus speakers and get 500va ups.

9

ok..how about for just gaming?

10

crucial ram from where ?

11

on a serious note, u might want to -pause- things a bit and do some thinkingā€¦80k is a big amount and if spent the right way ( too many permutation - combinationā€™s possible here)ā€¦Also how soon do u expect this thing to get upgrades ? with the rate at which new things are coming out these days , this elite setup will have dated stuff in the months to come.

If i were u sitting with 80k i would-

-for download operations make a headless atom and leave it aside on secure wireless.

-make a htpc only for movie rendering and freaking buy a elcheapo vu hd tv (if u already own a lcd tv - viola)

and

-make a 3rd system for rest of the needs and then upgrade the same as and when needed.

Again, thats just my outlook. might end up spending 10-12k more but then that would be totally worth it IMO.

Edit : just read thru and saw u have no intentions to upgrade in the future , again do give a thought at that.

going way OT but if i had 80k, i would get out there and buy a new bike :face_with_tongue:

Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory (with LEDs) Model BL25664TN1337 - Desktop Memory

Still these are available fo under 46$

Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT12864BA1336 - Desktop Memory

13

Nice Ram. Ill consider it.

14

For gaming consider HD 5850 @ 17k

15

Well IF you are open to laptops as well do check my post here.

My friend just bought a lappy similar to your specs for 80k from Dell.

Thatā€™s really a good suggestion. :slight_smile:

16

went to SP road today..all shops were closed as it was Rajyotsavaā€¦anyway to clear up a few misconceptions..

This is for my friend and not for meā€¦

I have a PS3, so no more investing on high end gaming setups :slight_smile:

Heā€™s mostly going to be using it for gaming but may also occasionally download a bit..This is definitely not going to be used 24*7.

He already has a Sony Vaio W series or something, so laptops are definitely out of the question.

17

ask him to buy a ps3 for games, and an atom download rig

18

he already has a PS3 and needs a PC for FPS gamesā€¦he doesnā€™t like it on the PS3ā€¦mouse and K/B FTW

19

go for a core i5, slightly cheaper mobo, 550-650W psu, and a better graphics card.

sorry for not being more specific, iā€™m out of the loop :slight_smile:

20

Go for i7 920 as it offers upgrade path to core i9 later on.
