I want to import these parts in India. Can anyone suggest me a website where I can calculate the amount of import duties and taxes and find out the final cost?

Also, can this rig max out BF4 with at least 50 FPS?

If you are going to spend so much on a build you are better off with intel i5 4670k. AMD just isn't as good as intel when it comes to games. Everything else is fine but if you are water cooling you should get a custom loop. It should run fine but remember that Intel will get you more FPS.

Completely your choice to change though.

I got the sabertooth because it has plastic protection. That is important because this looks like the guy's first build. You could go with the Z87 Pro though.

Assuming that you live in India, North India (from your name) - that's a hell lot of money man! That's like 90% tax!!! Are you sure? Is it 1,01,029.5 or 10,102.95 ??

I went to India once. Isn't it like 10 lakhs? This guy has an $1800 budget what do you expect.
 


It is a bit annoying to read this same " you must buy an intel" nonsense again and again
Yes intel can show better frame rates if you turn down details and run at low resolution . Yes they can show an advantage in poorly coded games that cant use multicore processors .
But for people playing new games at high details they often show better frame rates than intels processors and since they are cheaper the FX is a very good choice for many people

Here

Better minimum frame rates than a 2500K that intel fan boys have been claiming is awesome . And since it tops out over 60 fps its already capable of maxing out a monitors refresh rate .

And here

Typical of the results in the real world with multiple loads on the cpu and not just the game

You are comparing it to a Sandy Bridge when Haswell is out -_-
 


Have you seen the comparisons between haswell and IB ?
Have you bothered to look at the second link where an IB processor is used ?

I need octa core performance. I'll be doing some serious multitasking / video editing / gaming on this machine. And in future if I need more power, I can just overclock more than I can do with an intel build. I agree that it is a hell lot of power consumption. Let's see. I'm waiting for the steamroller FX series to come out. I don't think that the FX 9000 processors would have performance over power consumption. Hopefully steamroller architecture would help.

I didn't get you. You said that the tax would be about 101029 or much more. I was asking that if that much tax is there on a 117135 Rs build, then I'll have to pay 218164 (218K) Rs for a 101K build.

Rs. 10 lakhs = $16,221

FX-9xxx isn't as good as 8xxx in my opinion. If you are multitasking you should keep the 8350.
