NOTE : The Amount is NOT in USD... It is in Indian Rupees... :D

Hey all. Hope you are doing well.

I am a new member here but been using this site for the last couple of months.

I am going to sell my current pc (i3 2100, 8 gig ram, 500gb, P8h61 mobo, gtx560) and get a new one.

I am hoping to get a Macbook Air as well for work. (Love the battery + portability) But I still haven't decided yet. Need some suggestions.

Now, back to the point... Here are the details :

Country/Location : Kerala, India

Approximate Purchase Date
: e.g.: 60 days.

Budget Range
: - Rs. 1,00,000 if I Am Getting A Mac - $2,00,000 If I Am Not.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: (e.g.: Multi Monitor Gaming, Gaming, Gaming, Simple Video Editing, Photo Editing, Browsing, Web Based Apps, Wordpress)

Are you buying a monitor: Yes - 2x Dell S2240L 21.5 inch LED

Parts to Upgrade - Not Upgrading... Starting from scratch.

Do you need to buy OS: Yes - Which one?

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Flipkart.com, SnapDeal.com, TheITDepot.com, NewsEgg... Doesn't actually matter because I will be getting them offline.

Parts Preferences: Intel CPU, nVidia Graphics Card (unless there is a reason to change)

Overclocking: Yes

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe - Not sure.

Your Monitor Resolution: Dual Monitor. Not sure about resolution.

Additional Comments: I'd like it to run everything I throw at it. Play high end games on dual monitors and do simple video editing. (Like editing after effects project files etc. )

Also, i would like to have 16 gigs of ram, AT LEAST 2 Gig GFX MEMORY, a Super Fast SSD with 256 Gig storage.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I love putting together new rigs :D. Been a long long time since i built one.


Also, Should I get a mac? (then my budget will be 1,00,000) or should I not? (Budget will be 2,00,000).

Help me build a MONSTER :D.

In short... I want a monster which boots in seconds... runs smoothly... munches everything i throw at it and will keep doing all this for the next 2 years :).

Hope you get my point. (I am still freakin confused about the mac).

Macs are too expensive imo , just get an ultrabook instead it should be enough

Love your suggestions...

Check out my flipkart wishlist for the Rates in INR.. and let me know what you think.

http://www.flipkart.com/wishlist/thalazywebmaster-8703

My only concern is that I will have to bust out almost $900 for the GPU. Should I go for it? Is It Worth it?

Also, check out the motherboard. It's close to $700. I think the GPU and the Motherboards are a bit over priced.

Are there any alternatives? I don't mind paying $900 for a Graphics Card (if it's not an over-kill for the price) but I think $700 for a mobo is a bit too too high lol.

Let me know what you guys think.

Sorry mate. Just updated the thread. Any help regarding the GPU and Motherboard would be awesome.

The rest all looks fine.

Both 780 and 780 ti are good for dual and triple monitor setups , even a 660 could do it lol :)
But !
If you're gonna get two monitors , you can only do gaming on one and use the second one for multimedia , otherwise playing on two monitors would be horrible

both monitor to game like you would be gaming on one screen.

By the way, can you let me know why you recommended the i5 over the i7 4770k?

Sam.

then i highly recommend you to get three screens , because if you're gonna play fps's on two screens the character would be kinda cut as it would be in the middle and you won't be able to see everything correctly

Exactly what I was thinking. One gtx 780 ti can support triple display gaming right?
