depends on how much you wanna spend you can also get i965, gtx 295 is damn exp.

 

yes that is the board.

 

i tried to keep the cost close to your 1699$ + shipping

 

I kept the i920 ... 965 is 60k :P

 

but got a good deal on gtx 295 545$ incl shipping

 

abd ya...

 

I didnt find 2100Mhz ddr3 ram....I got a deal for OCz 6 x 2 gb 2000MHZ for 331$ incl shipping.. shall I take it...

 

and all this + 21" samsung lcd = Rs1,03,800/- (estimate --if there arent any customs on my ram and GPU)

f**k that is awesome config you got there...

 

couple of things cut out on gene board and go for the full board.

 

For card yoiu can either buy a GTX295 single card rather then the X2 or you can go for 4890 which will cost you 17k

also just struck my mind if you are cutting on GPU you very well cut out on that monstorous power supply also, your electric bill will really shoot up or else.

I know man... but he just wanted to play crysis in mediocre settings... so for a temporary thing it would be ok... that was what i felt...

but suggestion should be inline with the current rig ;)

Well he just said that he would save up cash and get the GTX 295 1792MB x2 card later... i just felt that there was no point in splurging money on on a 4870 x2 or a gtx 260 and keeping it for a month or two... Anyways what u said was right... a maruthi engine in a mercedes car :):hi2:

regarding ur advice on gfx card ... thts exactly wht i'm thinking .. but that 4890 is DDR5 .. is tht OK with my mobo (DDR3)?

 

and the monitor is a temporary thing ... I'm on the brink to buy a samsung 63" plasma..... so gonna hook this rig to it ( after I get the 295s and liquid cooling)...

 

so ... is 4890 OK.. for the setup... aman also recommended tht first..

Yes 4890 is absolutely fine, go for sapphire make and also you can hook up the plasma TV with 4890 itself.

Looking at that configuration and the money he's spending, I don't think he's the kinda guy who worries about electricity charges (or about money for that matter). :doh:

 

"Insane" is rather an understatement for that rig....

 

To think that I spent 1.1lakh on the PC i assembled (mainly thanks to the price of the ASUS 8800GTX at that time) around 2 years back (config is in my signature). Its amazing how the prices fall so quickly with rigs becoming obsolete two three months after u assemble them.

just finalised every thing guys..thought id tell u guys... almost same...

 

PROCESSOr-------------INTEL i7 920 2.66GHz

MOTHER BOARD--------ASUS RAMPAGE II extreme

GPU------------------------ZOTAC GTX 295 1792MB

CABINET ------------------- :: C.M cosmos S

PSU ------------------------------- ::corsair 750w

RAM --------------------------- ::OCZ 6 GB 2000MHz DDR3 RAM

HDD -------------------------- ::WD 1 TB

OPTICAL DRIVE -----------------------::SAMSUNG 20x SATA SH-203B

LCD MONITOR ----------------------- ::SAMSUNG 2233SW Full HD

 

I indeed ordered cpu,gpu,ram,mobo ... they'r delivered to my uncle's place in US ... think I'll get stuff here after getting them checked for DOA and all...

 

I thought of getting 2 HD 4770's but as I said in other thread .... had money(by the twist of fate) got it.

 

also considered i7 940 but .. dropped 'coz of prices...

I'll think off upgrade(or downgrade:p) to i5 extreme edition after its release...so got cheapest 1366 out there ..

 

and .. does this need a liquid cooling and stuff.....

I'm thinking of CM v10 if stock cooler cant hande it......so i guess v10 is enough... isn't it?

 

samsung lcd .. while there are cheaper models . 'coz I like its look =D

 

And cosmos S over HAF 932 'coz I live in a dusty place (who doesn't ?? esp in india)

 

and cosmos S over stacker nvidia .. 'coz i didn't like nvidia one (:P)
