?? Something incomplete , could not infer anything from that !
@ALPHA17
Thanks bro ,
1. Yes have the 8gb sniper ram modules at 1600MHz , known to give approx 7.2 in WEI , so hope not a big deal .
Will these bottleneck any other hardware I am going with ? .
2. Thanks for the SSD comparison , I thought that site only has processor comparison .
Anyways , sorry but its difficult to find any conclusion from those charts , some points , Intel is ahead , some point Crucial , and I dont really fully understand what they mean .
Which properties are useful in daily use ? .
3. TVS gold is ofcourse the tank , but no backlit , and Sidewinder X4 , no mechanical keys , So guess will later on go with a mechanical + backlit keyboard , surely will cost a bomb I feel .
Or is there is a cheaper option ?
4. Bro please point the combinations in both the 15k and 20k budget please .
The 400R has some problems with the H100 ? . One video review said there is a bit of a problem with the space , it gets too close to the motherboard , depending on the mobo , even touches some ! .
5. Ofcourse will buy those games a cent percent , I love these games , will also join you there on Steam , but am not a pro , just an amateur and played only till empire total war from a friend on very low settings , so wont be so good without practice . Till now only played Rome total war but again with the AI because cant register with friend's DVD . @chiragsthakur , help out with the bf3 query please .
I will try and get a DVD and then update it through Steam , again because of the 2gb limitation which will break the flow .
Does Steam have a resume option ? .
Thanks
Although I did not understand the sound proofing thing ! Sound proofing the room?
No no , 4gb is too small yes , but that is for my HTPC . I already have a 2 x 4gb Gskill Sniper Ram at 1600Mhz .
Dual channel ram is better than single channel , a single 8Gb stick wont make sense really .
2 x 8GB , approx 6-7k , I cant dole out that much for rams .
Currently I have 2 x 4 gb , I can always use 8gb sticks later on if I really need them .
I went with Sniper rams in my current configuration because I got them in an offer . But have hardly crossed 3Gb !! .
ram confusion :
560W is too low . I love Seasonic myself over any other power supply , if you see my previous posts , I have even listed the advantage of Seasonic over corsair and any other power supply .
But Seasonic service in India is not nice and even in the US its pathetic , see reviews in newegg ! . That for me is an arrogant company who has unmatched products but does not care about providing good after sales support . Seasonic does not care if a single seasonic PSU is not sold , it makes the PSU's for Corsair , so any high end Corsair PSU you are buying is most probably built by Seasonic and ofcourse Corsair pays them , so anyways Seasonic makes money so they care a crap about Customer support .
But if there is a person who doesnt care about after sales service , then you can go for a Seasonic eyes closed , the features it provides are unmatched . Every component it uses is top notch because its profits directly goes in its pockets , similar power supply to Corsair has to be obviously sold at lower prices , hence some features are cut out , even the fan Seasonic uses in its gold / platinum power supplies is a Sanyo Denki San Ace Fan , just google Sanyo Denki if you dont know about them , they are one of the best out there . The fanless load operation , etc is awesome , but then again a company that doesnt provide proper after sales support is no use however good their product is crap ! . Because as Mr Chirag said once , its after all an electronic component and can fail anytime .
I will never skimp on the PSU ! . But friends said that the only advantage a modular power supply provides is good cable management , all are suggesting TX series saying its no big deal with good cable management cases . I will readily go for Seasonic but for the after sales service .
Cyberwarfare stays too far from my place . Approx 1.5+ hrs drive considering there is no traffic , if there is then :annoyed: .
What he meants was he will guide or provide any assistance in case I need some help .
He is a champ like you when it comes to research and yea ofcourse Alpha and Jakob are always there ! .
I have decided most components but the cabinet is eating my brain . Cabinet also decides the cooler I can choose , cooling , etc . The main problem is am very inexperienced about this . I have no practical idea simply .
Also there are relatives visiting or would have got over with it this week itself . Now I dont know how long they are staying , its difficult for me too .
Got that quad in my cupboard lying to unleashed ! . But then family is also important , so trying to be patient .
At the moment they have gone out hence can post , otherwise its even difficult to switch the PC on .

Hi Sir ,
ram confusion :
I already have a low power Amd E350N based configuration which I bought as an HTPC because that time I had no money ! .
But there was a offer for Rams online so bought them , Gskill sniper 8gb .
But the current rig does not use over 3gb .
So in my new rig , I will put the sniper 8gb and buy a new 2 x 2gb ram for my HTPC .
THANKS .... RAM DOUBTS CLEARED (IN MY MIND) :yahoo:

LOL .... I AIN'T NOWHERE .... Compared to the Guyz out here (they all rock)

PATIENCE, just :sleep: over it

Also what GPU should I look for ? .
I have shortlisted 1. 660ti 2. gtx 670 3. HD 7950
Initially was in favor of the 7950 for the ease of overclocking but at stock there is a difference of 30 fps at 1080p in the type of game I would play most , Shogun 2 with the Gtx 670 .
In that game the 660ti and the 7950 seem similar .
One thing in which all radeon cards wipe out the gtx cards is "smallLuxGPU 2.0d4" .
What does that mean ? .
To be frank am leaning in favor of the 670 , but again wont rush without asking your opinion .
Also which companies provide good support for each AMD and Nvidia like for eg : Sapphire,XFX for AMd , MSI for Nvidia?
oops..... mate "Gaming and those krazy GPU's" not my zone (I'm into solitaire & scrabble ONLY :scared14. Moving out from here..... lol
So have you narrowed down on - PSU/Cooler/Cabby. Chalo lock kiya jaye.
Cheers
Prime at lammy is the best & most reliable .... rest I dunno (Mahavir was good for me & I used them way back in 2003-05 :yawn
I am not an expert on Lamington Road shops, Prime ABGB is the only shop I have dealt with and can recommend without any hesitation; they are reputed to have a very strong service end of things as well.
smallLuxGPU 2.0d4 -- It is a benchmark for the compute prowess of the card, it does not affect the gaming performance although I have read the image quality can be ascertained from this benchmark. Not very sure on this point, so no comments.
I suggest that you go for the HD7950 3GB edition OR nVidia GTX670 for your purposes, the stated prices for the GTX660Ti are too expensive to justify on it. This is because the HD7950 and the nVidia GTX670 are more future proof, with better memory bandwidth breakdowns and AMD simply owns everything when it comes to a multi-monitor setup and hence with improvements in texture quality I think future performance of the same will also remain rock-solid.
For AMD the companies you can look towards are --> Sapphire, HIS, MSi and ASUS.
For nVidia the companies I will recommend are --> ASUS, ZOTAC!, MSi and eVGA.
Hope this helps, Cheerio!
Cooler : CM 212 evo or H100 . Considering 212 evo because the h100 is not in stocks I guess . Also the 212 evo seems to be a nice cooler for the 3570k as per reviews . @ALPHA17 can have a definitive say in this matter because he has owned this cooler .
What would you choose between the HD 7950 and the GTX 670 and why ? . That was what I was looking for , that will clear things .
All those companies provide good support , support includes both , driver support and after sales support , I guess driver is from amd and nvidia , so which companies provide best after sales support ?
If it's gonna be air-coolers then, check out these two from Noctua. Both were/are available (on and off) at Prime. Somehow, I have never seen them recomended on TE ....... any reasons ?
- Noctua NH-C12P SE14 ...... (single fan) Rs 4150
- Noctua NH-C14 ........... (two fans) Rs 5400
Both the above are relatively recent additions to Noctua's stable and took off from the much acclaimed NH-U12P SE2. Both incorporate a radical C-Type design and apart from doing it's job very well, then also offer secondary indirect cooling to various components in it's vicinity on the motherboard.
And regards cabinet, since harry_houdini is going the whole hog. Methinks he's gotta have a cabby wherein he can show off it's fabulous inards to all da gals in town ........ a bloomin see-thru window at it's sides :sign40:. Of course the usual .... good air-flow (Marilyn Monroe need it too naaa), and excellent (or decent) build quality (a la Rakhi Sawant) :bleh: ..... and for that we have
NZXT Phantom 410 Crafted (Gun Metal Edition) ..... Rs 6750 with usb 2 x 3.0 + 2 x2.0 & 3 fans (incl
1 140mm); detachable HDD trays & 1 Fan can be fitted on HDD tray for GPU + MB cooling
or
NZXT Tempest 410 Elite .......... Rs 5150
Would love your inputs ALPHA17; Jakob ......

The Noctua NH-C12P SE14 wasn't suggested cause it performs same/Little better to NH U12P SE2 and C12P is the new launch,Will keep in mind.About the case harry should've got Nzxt Temptest 410 Elite-4.5k if he'd picked it up from prime yesterday,It's a good case he can go for it,It has 2 Front fans and 1 Rear fan installed also the transparent side panel gives a nice look.Harry if you'd started the thread today then you would've gotten HD8XXX series gpu.
Thanks
Any reason the tempest elite is a better cab than the 400/500R ?
Yes it was the joke you really would've gotten HD8XXX series GPU,You can go for either cabinet,The Temptest 410 has one extra fan than 400R but every case has its advantage you won't be harmed by any one.
Thanks
Loved this post :hail:.
Well the primary reason I loved the 500R is the big side fan ............
I have read about using airflow for indirect cooling , but am no cabinet air cooling expert , so if someone has some idea please share .
What do you guys think , a side fan helps that much or am over estimating its capabilities .
For that I was ready to sacrifice the crappy dust resistance in the 500R .
The removable HDD caddy can also be fitted with a 120mm or 140mm fan by means of a retaining bracket towards the top of the caddy. This fan mount can be angle through approx 30 degrees and locked in position by means of a thumb screw. HOWEVER The addition of a fan in this area reduces the GPU length to 280mm or with the fan mount bracket and fan fully extented down to 230mm.
I was in love with the 200mm side fan of the 500R until I checked many users feedback & ruled it out. Now as I would look at things - I would wish to have a cabinet where
- the HDD's racks are detachable (not the trays alone)
- option of adding 1/2 fans to the inner sides of the HDD racks see Overclock3D :: Review :: NZXT Phantom 410 "Gun Metal" Edition Review :: Up Close: Interior
My personal dream cabby would be the NZXT Switch 810 (with a white interior), it's got all that one could imagine but at 10.6K ..... well, well, well:unsure:
