Hi,

You can check this out as well ..

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition

ASUS M4A87T-D Motherboard

4GB DDR3 Dual Channel RAM

500GB SATA II HDD

Lian LI - Lancool PC-K62 Premium Gaming Case

nVIDIA / ATi Graphics Card - High End

Roccat Kova 3200 DPI Optical Gaming Mouse

Roccat Sense Gaming surface

ASUS 18.5" LED Monitor

This setup should cost you around 45 grands....this is a total value for money rig...you can always choose to go for a 22"cher LED...that wont be too expensive but will give you a much better over all experience :)

n dont think that AMD 555 black aint a good proccy...it should do just fine for your requirement...
 
^ Hades is pretty much accurate. And if you want an ATI card you can opt for a HD 6850 1 GB. And you can buy a Cheap Microsoft Keyboard and MX 518, will reduce the price further.

In gaming i5 2500 beats every AMD processor... outperforms even i7 950/960 in gaming... And suggesting him a SB rig is better than suggesting him an already old ready to die AM3 rig... And BTW Ivy Brigde processors would be backward compatible with P67/H67 chipset motherboards... So the SB rig that i've suggested above is more powerful, power efficient and futureproof so going with an SB based rig now is a no brainer thing to do... :)
 
+1 Hades. Just go ahead with SB configuration.

the prices i got above are the best prices quoted to me at SP road( excluding VAT)

my problem is that my budget is tight( 60 K max.) and the above config costs 65K

also i want to keep selected processor, UPS is a must to prevent power damage

@cool_chap- He strictly wants a SB proccy.
 
guys thanks for the input
what about the UPS though, i believe i need it to protect the rig,( we have very much a japan like situation in bangalore, rolling blackouts w/o the earthquakes, thankfully).
i enquired with ashirwad APS ups costs 4.5K
also i want a graphics card which wont be obsolete for at least 2 Years
is that possible with MSI GTX560 twin frozr?
 
ATM you will have to compromise on the UPS. Get one later. I would suggest you get a Red Team HD6950 2GB version. See the batch dated somewhere around December which can be unlocked to a HD6970. Let other members comment about its availability.
 
hmm....aite...all i was saying is @ 45kz , it is a pretty decent rig....

So , just replace the AMD board/cpu with Intel...and the rest remains the same.....wat say?

and for GPU, strictly recommended HD6950 1 or 2GB

You do know that a GTX 560 Twin Frozr II from MSI has the same performance + price (same as 1GB, cheaper than 2GB) and comes with PHYSX and CUDA right?
 
Hades has suggest a more or less perfect rig.

However, I would suggest a Core i5 2500k. Also, you can either get the 6950 or 560. However, personally I would recommend the 2 gb 6950 as it is much much more future proof and just costs about 3k more, besides being faster in some stuff even today!
 
guys thanks for the support
i checked with aashirwad yesterday. he seems to be most competitive on price
however he does not the gigabyte mobo, instead he insists i go for msi p67a gd55 b3 at 9.5K
also he doesnt seem to have the red team hd 6950
considered my 60K budget constraint, should i go for hades's config or make any changes
Please help!!!! i want to finalise by saturday
thanks

If he does not have AMD cards, you should try for a GTX 560 ti Twin Frozr II from MSI, its a very decent card.

havok only in amd?? :p

Havoc is developed by intel..its not gpu specific and it uses Cpu for physics calculations..!
Click to expand...
yhea i got that, no no i was only mentioning havok and stream like nvidia chanters cuda and pissx...

The thinng is, unless u r a cuda developer, chances are u r never gonna use that feature, which makes it more of a gimmick(Like 1GB 9400GT cards)

If u can spend 1k more then buy the above rig... MSI P67A-GD55 is a really great mobo so you can buy it eyes closed... I know that most of its features would be useless for you now like CFX/SLI, overclocking ability etc etc but in the future those features would come in handy when you would be upgrading to ivy bridge or in the future if u would like to add another GTX560...

But if you cant spend 1k more then buy this

Included an HD6950 2GB in this config as it unlocks into HD6970... And after unlocking it... it performs like GTX570... :)
