I would be learning game programming for which I bought a core i7 system. I am a newbie but after getting some useful info on different forums, this is what I got.

Inter core i7 - 15K

Gigabyte X58-UD3R - 13.5K(basic board)

2 x msi ati 4770 crossfire 13K ( reviews suggest this almost equivalent to GTX 280 atleast in benchmarks :) )

3 x 2GB DDR3 1600 Patriot Viper LLK(8-8-8-24) 10.5K

1 TB seagate 7200.11 5K

coolermaster HAF 932 - 10K

corsair TX750W(I had it in my previous system, so I dont know it's current price)

around 67K without monitor,keyboard+mouse and psu

U might get a good psu around 6-7K
 
Thanks dude.., but I made up my mind and want to go 4 Amd phenom 2 940 rig...'

I have got a few config but still not decide abt mobo and gpu..'

Is it wise to set up a hd 4770 in xfire or a single gpu will do..?
And 4 mobo gigabyte seems to b right but which model in Amd 790 gx..'

Do I need a aftermarket cooler if yes then which one ocz vendetta 2 or cm v8..'
 
go for v8 only if u have it in ur budget otherwise ocz vendetta 2

v8 has higher RPM fan and lower noise level....

OCZ Vendetta 2 - 2.5k

Coolermaster V8 - 5k (approx)
 
Xigmatek HDT coolers are better in my opinion(almost the same price as ocz), though a bit noisy. for 790gx Biostar A2+ 128 seems good for its price <5K.
 
But biostar 790 gx is a good board and vfm also but not reliable as gigabytes or asus...'

And ocz vendetta 2 is available in kolkata and its a reputated brand...'

can some one tell me the price of ocz blade series ram of 2*2 gb 1066 mhz...'
 
Guys is ocz rams r available in kolkata....!

I want 2 have a ocz blade series 2*2 gb 1066 kit anyone knows the price...'

is raid 5 is reliable 4 data transfer and storage...' does gigabyte ga ma790g - ud4h supports raid 5...'
 
790gx does support raid 5. You need a minimum of 3 hard drives for raid 5. You should keep in mind that raid 5 generally has horrible write performance.Read performance would be excellent.

I went to chandni on tuesday, vedant told me that OCZ are priced at about 3700/- ( If I remember correctly ) and you will get 2 X 2 GB kit most probably @800 Mhz but that should do almost everything ( frankly, you are not gonna OC your FSB to over 400Mhz, are you ? )
 
Ya that's right...'
But does 800mhz is capable of ocing the cpu to 4ghz...' as I remember someone told me that 1066mhz plays a significant role in this....'

Secondly I have no idea of raid configs so suggest me which one is suitable to me as per data storage and fast transfer rates...?
 
Well, here is the equation that you may know. CPU clock = multiplier X FSB. and basically, the FSB : RAM is set to 2:1. Now, seting FSB:RAM to 1:1, you can raise your FSB to 400Mhz max. Now think, if you have AMD rig , the mult are like 15.5 etc. So, 15.5 X 400 = 6200. So, you can OC to 6.2Ghz theoretically leaving the cooling or other things. Again, you can increase the mult in Black Edition ones. There is another fact that 800Mhz RAM ( corsair, OCZ, G Skill etc ) can be easily OCed to 950Mhz or so. And any 800 Mhz RAM are OC able to operate at 80-100Mhz more. So, setting the mult to 18 and FSB to 220Mhz you get 4.06Ghz ( while FSB:RAM is still 2:1 )

ONly if you want an intel CPU which have lower mults, go for the higher clocked RAM ( if you don't like to change the ratio to 1:1 ) Choice is yours. :)

As for the RAID support, My Biostar TA790GX 128M supports RAID 0,1,1+0,5.

Idea about RAID:

RAID 0 : defines a diskstriping scheme that improves disk read and write times for many apps. Min drives 2, max 6-8.

RAID 1 : defines techniques for mirroring data. Min drives 2 and max 2.

RAID 1+0 : combines RAID 0 + RAID 1 techniques. Min drives 4 and max 6-8.

RAID 5 : provides fault tolerance and better utilization of disk capasity. Min drives 3.

So if you have only 1 HDD, you don't need RAID. Better google about RAID to find the adv and disadv.
 
@ sabby...., thanks dude 4 the advice...'

I have seen several posts on lcd moniter and now i am rethinking abt my choice 4 samsung 2233 moniter..'

I am thinking of a 24 inch mointer which is best in features and resolution...' dell or samsung...?

I know everyone will vote 4 dell but is it available and whats the price...?
 
@Arnab

When do you plan to buy ?? I may go to chandni in the last week of June. If you don't buy your rig till then, let me know. I will get a quotation of your parts. :)
