Hello TE, i am buying an i7 rig at this months end , the things tht i hav decided is as follows :- CPU :- i7 920 ( D0 Stepping ) mobo :- eVGA x58 sli classified GPU :- GTX 295 OR GTX 275 ( help ) Ram :- G.Skill 6gb perfect storm cabinet :- antec 1200 Cpu cooler :- prolimatech megalem Hdd :- 2 x 1.5 tb + 2 x 300 gb Velociraptor (Raid 0) + 2 x SSD on Raid 0( help here ) Psu :- Tagan Bz 800 any changes in this rig if needed u r welcome ( Open for suggestions )
 
Tagan BZ 800 - > Corsair TX 750W, Reason : Tagan cables r shorter in length.

U dont need eVGA classified, get Giga UD5, n GTX 295 or SLi GTX 260s.
 
Velociraptor NOT recommended -> coz HIGH failure rate.

Velociraptor in Raid 0 NOT recommended -> coz EXTREME failure rate.

TX750 or HX620 recommended over Tagan.

GTX 275 for Samsung 22" monitor (Rs. 10k), GTX 295 for DELL 24" monitor (TE:14.5k, else 16k)

SSD is Better than Velociraptor.

But IMHO: SSD, Velociraptor, BOTH ARE USELESS and a total waste of money as 500GB Seagate 32MB @ RAID 0 is More than enuf..

Rest of the Config is Nice :hap2:

Total non-sense!

Any drive can go conked and there could be a lot of reasons associated with the failure - electrical, mechanical, f/w issue, heat buildup, yada yada.

AFAIK the V'raptors were a lot better than their predecessors and considering that the present day SLC/MLC SSD drives haven't matured enough, a v'raptor still seems to be a vfm buy taking into regard the cost/MB.

The drive runs a bit hotter than the usual hard-drive but that's natural for a 2.5" drive that runs at 10k rpm.

Besides, any 2 identical drives put up in a RAID 0 config has a high risk of failure. Isn't that usual?

@OP: Why the EVGA X58 Classified may I ask? You may not end up using 10% of the BIOS tweaking options that EVGA has given with the board. The board's supposed to be a bencher's wet-dream come true but at an appreciably high expense considering most good X58 boards retail at the 17k mark and unless you can have someone from the US carry one for you, this'd end up creating a crater in your pocket if you get it via the KMD route (@70Rs INR against a $ = 35000 Rs?).

Lol, you can build a whole i7 rig for that price!

Like Roboghost's suggested, get a Gigabyte X58 UD5. It should cost you not more than 17k and thereabouts.
 
+1 to sir gannu..

velociraptors rule..

have had no issues in over 5 hdds that me and my friends have got

i run 2 150's in raid 0 and never had a problem.

also they for some reason are the coolest running of all my drives...

so get the velociraptors. they rock..

just my 2 cents

cheers :)
 
BS. UR posts r useless not Raptors. :no:

How much exactly're you willing to spend? Shell out the budget and we can help you better. What LCD are you going to invest in?

As for the PSU, get the TX850. It should be better than any Tagans, period! You may not like too much bling on a psu either.

PS: Read your PM. Cant be on an IM. I'm at the workplace. :p

For single card go 4 285 which is fastest single card and an excellent card ...BTW I was referring Corsair TX 750 or corsair TX 850 both r from Corsair not Tagan as I dont know much about tagan , but I have used Corsair 620HX and Corsair TX 750 ..and hadnt had a single issue with these , solid psu's ....
You can buy Corsair TX850 from TE dealers

And why are you going for LCD from abroad, when better and cheaper Dell,benq and may be other brands 24" are available in India ....try to search dealer's section and find you lcd from there ..it will be better that way...
