Preferably want to add water cooling. But want to get it done by some professional because i don't know how to do it.

** Also if 2 graphic cards are needed, willing to purchase them.

Also need a beautiful case. Suggest in some cases. Want to splurge money on my dream rig.

Thanks to everyone for building my dream into reality

Build it as if you would build your own rig.

Intel i7 3770K-22k
Asus Maximus V Gene-15k OR Asus P8Z77-V PRO-16k
Gskill RipjawsX 2X4Gb 1600mhz-3.5k OR Corsair Vengeance 2X4Gb 1600mhz-3.5k
Segate 1TB 7200RPM-4.5k
MSI GTX680 OC-35k OR Sapphire/MSI HD7970 3GB-35k

Few questions are you going to get 3X24" monitors or are you planning to get one 27" OR something else,Also you will have to go for Crossfire/SLI setup for this kind of rig.I haven't suggested a cooler cause you're going for water cooling setup.
Hope this helps.

You need to look beyond FHD at those sort of budgets, you've already gone multimonitor - I would tell you to use 2560x1440 27 inchers or the 2560x1600 30" - problem with the latter is that three of those will be close to 2.5L.

And once you settle for the resolution, we can talk about the rest of the rig. Three 1920x displays require less than half the horsepower of three 2560x displays. 'Just' two 7970 or GTX680 cards may not really be enough in the second case, think 3- or 4-GPU setups with an equally solid power supply.

Just remember at those resolutions 99 % (percent) of games will be GPU limited, not CPU limited. Bottlenecking will not be an issue, so focus on the maximum possible graphics processing power.

If you want 1920x displays, 2 top-line (nVidia/ATI) cards are good enough for high detail and about 40fps. For ultra detail and higher FPS you might need to go back to a 3-card setup.

My advice on watercooling is that when you put it into an expensive rig, you need to know a bit so even if you can't put the thing together you should know how/when to shut off the PC and call for help (hint, it's before water starts oozing out of the case, not after). Note that a good custom loop will set you back close to 30k all by itself.

As you see, your budget is not something we can't destroy in a few minutes

I'm a little out of the loop when it comes to current hardware, no doubt the gang will drop in a few suggestions.

 

[ALPHA17]

@Game24 this is what I suggest --

Intel Core i7 3770k ~24000/- + Thermalright Silver Arrow ~4000/- Corsair H100 ~8000/- [OR if you are willing a custom water-loop]
ASUS P8Z77-SABERTOOTH ~19000/-
G.Skill RIPJAWS 4GB x4 1600MHz ~14000/-
Sapphire / HIS HD7970 3GB x2 ~35000/- x2
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 2TB x4 [64MB cache] ~6500/- x4 [RAID 0+1 this will be the data dump]
OCZ Vertex 4 128GB x2 ~16500/- [configure these in RAID 0 for maximum performance, get these from here --> Buy SSD | Buy SSD India | SSD Price | SSD for Laptop]
Corsair HX1000W ~11000/-
Corsair Graphite 600T ~9500/-
ASUS PA238 Q x3 ~18500/- x3
APC SUA2200I ~20000/-

Yeah that should be the game. Hope this helps, Cheerio!

If the old gang can help in this wreck-fest. Please @toolius, @BIKeINSTEIN, @asingh and @sumonpathak.

How much should i spend more?? Budget is not an issue.. U tel me what kind of money i should put it. If u had to build your dream rig, what would be the money u would put to build your rig?

OP wants a 24"X3 setup considering what he has written,Instead of HX750-9k a little 100W extra power would be better within same amount TX850V2-8.5k,Also why not suggest Nzxt Switch-9.5k OR CM HAF X-14k if budget is not the problem.Everything else is classy considering OP's budget.

Game24 this is what I suggest --

Intel Core i7 3770k ~24000/- + Thermalright Silver Arrow ~4000/- Corsair H100 ~8000/-
ASUS P8Z77-SABERTOOTH ~19000/-

Corsair HX750W ~7900/-
Corsair Graphite 600T ~9500/-
ASUS PA238 Q ~18500/- [throw in another later on for ultra-widescreen gaming]
APC SUA2200I ~20000/-

Yeah that should be the game. Hope this helps, Cheerio!

I find a modular SMPS more alluring for his build (fewer wires).

And about the cabinet I am not a person who likes over-built boxes, so that is why no HAF series from my end, nor the plasticky NZXT Phantom. The NZXT Switch 810 leaks a lot of sound.

Thanks for your suggestion ALPHA17. Can you please Suggest me a cabinet, which looks fabulous, Attractive. Want to show off Something unique & eye catching

How much should i spend more?? Budget is not an issue.. U tel me what kind of money i should put it. If u had to build your dream rig, what would be the money u would put to build your rig?

OK. Let's not talk about me for a minute, let's put down what to me is the 'unlimited' configuration. For the record, I can't afford it.

To start, three 30" Dell U3011 monitors - 2,40,000

To power these, four Radeon 7970s - 1,20,000

I would get a custom case, one that can take lots of radiators. This would be an original design with pelts attached to the surface. Budget about 30-40k for this, as it will be a unique design (yes, there are people in Mumbai who will do this for you if you can pay) - 40,000

Twin 850-watt power supplies, one dedicated to three cards and the other one for the fourth card, motherboard and everything else - 20,000

EVGA X79 Classified - 35,000 (or a suitable motherboard)

Intel 3960x - 50,000

32GB DDR3 2400 memory (4 x 8GB) - 20,000

Twin 512GB SATAIII SSD in RAID0 - 60,000

Twin 2GB WD Black for storage - 20,000

5 Waterblocks, 2x 420mm radiators, twin pumps/res combos and tubing/accessory kits: say 40k

I think that's pretty much it, and according to me this topped out at just under 6,50,000/- assuming my prices are correct, give or take.

Good Luck.

 

[Game24]

will go for this when im financially free lets stick to 2-3lakhs for now.. wil take ur suggestions on the bigger dream later
the rig will jst look fantastic though imo will get it someday

 

[Jakob]

For your requirements take a look at Corsair Obsidian 650D-9.5 little better looking than 600T and good in cooling performance.Cooler Master HAF 932-10k OR BitFenix Shinobi XL,CM Storm Trooper are good options.

Ok lets not kill OP,The start itself kills the budget and then other things follow ALPHA17 should add this in Buying Guide as for 'Unlimited' budget.

Lets not compromise on the monitor,DELL U2410[H-IPS,HDMI,10 bit color processing]-25k X 3 would be a by far a better get.This rig itself if going up to 3 lack,So @Game24 You'll have up the budget a bit.

How is the cooler master cosmos 2 case for the op since he wants a unique and classy case and it also supports custom water cooling loops and a 240mm radiator ; also go for X79 platform instead of Z77's former have a longer life span say at least 5 years from now...

Rampage 4 extreme should be the ideal motherboard for that budget combined with i7 3930K

 

[Jakob]

A Case which costs 22k would be little too much for OP,Also to keep system under 2.5-3 lakhs it'd be better to stop with 3770K+Z77 as the 3790K+X79 would go above 60K.

Wow this is a DREAM build....... Wishing you all the Best as you gather all your components.

Building a RIG with a 2-3 lac budget would also mean trying to source "premium" components that may not always be available off-the-shelf. For this you would have to make a special "request" to a Dealer (say "Prime" & as you are from Mumbai it would not be so difficult).

Here are a few things I feel like throwing in for good measure

- Power Supply : Corsair AX1200i Digital ATX Power Supply (Only if you are going for a 2/3 GPU setup) cost Rs 19-20K
This is the world's first desktop PC PSU having a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for delivering extremely clean, efficient power with real-time adjustments & fully modular. Unfortunately, Corsair has not come out with any other variant in power wattage.
Or else consider the Corsair Gold AX series 750 or 850W - Again everything fully modular (not for a 3GPU setup)
Note: next the HX series of Corsair PSU is semi-modular (Everything is detachable except the essentials: 1 x PCI-E connector, 1 x 24-pin Power Connector, and 1x 4/8-pin EPS Connector)
HX750 or HX850 : cost 8500 or 11950 Buy Power Supply Units Online | India - Hardwire.in

CABINET: CoolerMaster Stryker Full Tower - Rs 12500/- (hardwire.in) - Striking looks & performance or
Antec Lanboy Air Modular - 14K (hardwire.in)

SOUND CARD: A semi-professional sound card is a must for your rig
Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatality Champion - Rs 14900/- or
Asus Xonar D2 for 9K (hardwire.in)

SPEAKERS : Chose from Creative (as per your budget) ..... even a quality 2.1 will rock

RAM : GSkill Trident X 16 GB (8X2) DDR3 RAM - 2400 MHz for 16.5K
[16GB should be your minimum requirement]

COOLING : as cranky suggested - Water / Liquid Cooling is not everyone's cuppa tea - proceed ONLY if you are confident (study video's on youtube to get an idea of it's intricacies as well ). So take your time and let us know what your final decision is.

Cheers and be patient.

Terry

MEANWHILE have a look at http://www.overclock.net/t/1260063/build-log-nzxt-switch-810-white-useful-for-first-time-builders

study the entire post carefully to "understand & fall in love" with Dream-Rig-Building. Something similar KRAKEN is also happening out here

 

[ALPHA17]

Thanks for your suggestion ALPHA17. Can you please Suggest me a cabinet, which looks fabulous, Attractive. Want to show off Something unique & eye catching

Best is that you get a good mid-range cabinet and then MOD it. The Corsair 600T has beautiful MOD(s), check this --


You can do this instead of going for a so called good looking cabinet, these are much more personal and I think a far better show-off.

Ok lets not kill OP,The start itself kills the budget and then other things follow ALPHA17 should add this in Buying Guide as for 'Unlimited' budget.

Not an ideal idea in this scenario because I believe that at such price points the RIG is like a car, very personal and people prefer MOD-ing and personalising it as far as possible. So maybe I will come up with RIG's touching ~2,00,000/- but that will be all inclusive and will not accommodate stuff like personalisation of the setup.

 

[booo]

get a good 5.1 head set like roccat cave along with the speakers. you will never regret it.
