Hi,
I inten to buy a new Gaming PC.
I have decided on the following config.
My Budget is 80k.

CPU - Intel Core i7-920 -
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 -
RAM - Transcend 1333 MHz DDR3 (3x1GB)
GPU - MSI HD 4870
HDD - 500Gb Seagate 7200.12
PSU - Corsair TX750 750W
Cabinet - Coolermaster Elite 330
Monitor - Samsung 2233sw

I intend to add 2 more GPU's in future. So Is the PSU sufficient or do I need a higher watt PSU?

Can anything be done to reduce the cost?

Do I need to install a cooling unit too? (Can i install it in future when I add more GPU's)
 
Nice Config....

but i would suggest you to change to a Corsair 1000HX when you upgrade to 3xHD4870.

Currently it is fine.

and why dont you go for 2GB DDR3 instead...
 
OMG 80k rig in CM Elite :O

Balance UR rig -

CPU - Intel Core i7 920 15k

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 18k

RAM - OCZ Platinum 1600MHz DDR3 (3x2GB) 7k

GPU - Zotac GTX 260 Core 216 11k

HDD - Seagate 7200.12 500GB 3k

PSU - Corsair TX 750W 8k

Cabinet - NZXT Tempest 6k/ CM HAF 932 8.5k

Monitor - Dell 2209WA 14k

Prices r approx.

Total 82-85k~
 
Do I need a cooling unit too?

Someone suggested me HD 4870 crossfire works better than gtx 260.
As i intend to add more GPU's which one will be better?

If I buy CM 690, will it be OK?

if 750W PSU is not enough, what is the cost of Corsair 1000HX?

Thanx
 
Why r U suggesting 2GB ? :S

OP - 3way SLi/CF is not worth it, stick to TX 750W.

Nice Config. :)
 
Change cabinet to NZXT tempest/Antc 900/Thermaltake armour +.

Dude U are spending 80k on a config and buying a 22" monitor. Dont u think ur config is a bit of overkill for the monitor? Of course 24" and above are costly right now you can upgrade when prices fall.

U have everything Xtra like gaming mice/keybrd, Speakers etc or do u want to include in the budget?
 
My max Budget is 80k. I cant go above 80k in any case.
I already have gaming mouse and keyboard.

CPU - Intel Core i7-920 - 15.5k

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-EX58-DS4 - 16k

RAM - OCZ Platinum 1600MHz DDR3 (3x2GB) - 7k

GPU - Palit GTX 260 Sonic edition - 12.5k

HDD - 500Gb Seagate 7200.12 - 3k

PSU - Corsair TX750 750W - 8k

Cabinet - NZXT Tempest 6k

Monitor - Samsung 2233sw - 11k ( I am already exceeding 80k, If I go with Dell 24' it would again increase the cost of rig )

DVD Drive - Samsung - 1.2k

Total = 80.2k

My Mob doesnt support SLI, so I wont be able to add one more card in future.
Should I shift to UD5?
 
Pointless to have a physx card...stick with one GPU...and for 80k you can try:

1.i7-920--15k

2.gigabyte DS4--14k (it now supports SLI with the latest BIOS)

3.OCZ platinum 6gb 3x2gb ddr3 1600--6.5-7k via KMD

4.2xZotac GTX260 core 216 for sli--21k

5.CM690--4.5k

6.corsair tx750--8.2k

Total--70k

You have 10k left for monitor

CPU - Intel Core i7-920 - 15.5k
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 - 18.5k
RAM - OCZ platinum 6gb 3x2gb ddr3 1600 - 7k
