@op

IMHO it is better to add gaming headphones in high end & ultra high end rigs.
Also, if x-fi titanium can be changed by some other better card from Asus or Auzentech.

In my earlier post I forgot say thanks -- so :thanx: for the exaustive list

Not much of an audiophile. Require some help on that one. Just list ur suggestions and will add them to the rig

well skull candy gaming headphones for a 1000 /- are nice !

also some razer ones are good but they are around 4-5k !

Well not listen many but Roccat Kave are a good choice for gaming, other please comment on G35 or Razer ones.
I think Auzentech X-fi forte/HT Omega claro are better choices than x-fi titanium

Thanks for the very useful guide again.

Very nice work !
A Thuban X6+suitable mobo. would be a great alternative for the High End Gaming Rig (Budget 78k).

Looking forward to the next one already. ^^

99% games still uses max four cores only and there is no performance gain of going for Thuban's now. Thanks for the suggestion. If a person is looking for a gaming + running heavily threaded apps then the Thuabn offers excellent value along with the feature rich but much cheaper 890GX mobos.

@All: Thanks for the compliemts guys

grt guide dark

 

[Diablo]

Awesome Guide. I am trying to build one AMD/Intel using onboard graphics, but unable to get Gigabyte motherboards in Pune. I have tried DCC and Sujata Computers but they do not have this brand. Does anyone know where in Pune will I get Gigabyte motherboards, especially Gigabyte H55M-UD2H or Gigabyte GA-785GMT-USB3

 

[knoughtyd]

Thanks for the great guide

• I was waiting a long time for the 880G Giga mobos to show up in Indian stores before updating the guide. But it has become a endless wait. The MSI mobo A.S.S is decent but Gigabyte has got the best feedback in TE both on quality and A.S.S front. Choose accordingly.

  that is strange since I remember seeing a 880G based USB3 Gigabyte Mobo being assembled at McCann Infosys at Lammy about 2-3weeks :S Didn't inquire much since was in a hurry
