Hey guys

I purchased a system 50,000 INR system previously based on answers from this site, and it worked wonders. I would like to thank again all of the community for the same. And also need help with my new system.

Now I need 1 more system with the budget of INR 1,00,000. I tried going through many previous threads, but really confused about what to go for..

I want to use purely for gaming, on a single monitor 1080p at ultra settings. I enjoy games like assasin creed, darksiders, call of duty, crysis, battlefield etc...

I am going to use newegg india, flipkart, snapdeal websites to order my products in.

Parts I have selected or i am confused between are :

Processor
Intel Core i5-4690K Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 3.5GHz LGA 1150 Desktop Processor BX80646I54690K

Cpu Cooler
Phanteks PH-TC14PE_BK 140mm UFB (Updraft Floating Balance) CPU Cooler

HDD
Western Digital RE WD2000FYYZ 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Enterprise Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

RAM
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9

Motherboard
Confused between
1) Is there any brand better than asus - quality/performance wise ?, Currently, on my understanding that Asus is best motherboard brand out there, I have selected following 3 :
1.1) Asus Z97 - A
1.2) Asus Z97 - Pro (with wifi)
1.3) Asus Z97 Sabertooth Mark 1

Graphic Card
Confused between, which one would be best for single monitor 1080p ultra :
1.1) Gtx 970 sli
1.2) Gtx 980
1.3) Gtx 780 ti
Also, which brand of these models to buy.

My primary focus is quality/durability and secondary focus is performance.

Also, based on choice of graphic card, and mobo, please also tell me what PSU will I need to get.

The budget does not contain, monitor, OS, etc... Its only for the CPU.


Seriously confused on motherboard and graphic card guys, Please help...
Really appreciate your suggestions and advice.
 
Solution
I would recommend you to get the WD blue because of the price performance ratio.
The case you are buying supports GPU upto 10.63 inches or 270 mm long with the driver cages so the gigabyte G1 (12.28 inch) will not fit inside the case without removing the extra HDD cages.
here is a link of the gigabyte G1 http://www.flipkart.com/gigabyte-nvidia-gv-n970wf3oc-4gd-4-gb-gddr5-graphics-card/p/itmefbp8qtcgpd9w?pid=GRCEFBZVYUDRNQZG&otracker=from-search&srno=t_9&query=gigabyte+card&ref=6aa44837-061b-43cc-8b99-8e84fce0673a
Your processor is just fine i5 4690k get the asus Z97 -A board GPU get the GTX 970 you dont need a SLI setup for 11080p monitor the GTX 970 is strong enough for handling any game at max settings with good FPS and getting the GTX 980 doesn't makes any sense its almost twice the price of GTX 970 yet only has about 15 % more performance.
Get this PSU http://www.flipkart.com/seasonic-s12g-750-750-watts-psu/p/itmduu8wvhuw9pna?pid=PSUDUU8WPPW2SNZG&otracker=from-search&srno=t_4&query=seasonic+750+watt+&ref=72e03b2e-aab5-4ab1-aeb2-f343cb05fed4 if you add another card in future if you want.

Solution
No no i am not saying not to get an SSD you have said a build without SSD is incomplete and i am saying its not compulsory his current build is about 97k INR adding a 120 gb ssd will push the build over 100k .

For the OP get the Z97 A or mark 2 dont get the Wii fii i have heard that the wi fi creates some problems while online gaming you can get a lan card for 1k easily if you want wi fi plus it will also save you some money currently your mobo is more costlier than your CPU.

If I opt for Z97 - mark 2, its written in its specs that max memory frequency is 1866 MHz, so will it support the gskill ram that i have selected ?? , uts 2100 Mhz

Here's the link that i got for mark 2

http://www.flipkart.com/asus-sabertooth-z97-mark-2-motherboard/p/itmdz872pathgdut?pid=MBDDZ86PGKZZBFFZ&otracker=from-search&srno=t_21&query=z97&ref=23c6d7ce-bfe0-4e43-b074-93f8ce61248a

And for Z97 - A

http://www.flipkart.com/asus-z97-a-motherboard/p/itmdz8724hadhjgv?pid=MBDDZ86PGRMY4H6J&otracker=from-search&srno=t_4&query=z97&ref=3aa5b404-4664-45c6-abf7-37f89683ce7b

If not, should I go for z97 -A, or change the Ram to lower MHz,

I wana go with mark -2 cus of 5 year warranty and TUF...

Actually, I was trying to fit SSD into budget, but previously i selected costly motherboard and case

But now if the prices of them are reduced, is there some 120gb SSD, of good quality that I can get for near about 5k INR ??

I have been using a Marshall amplifier as speaker for a very long time...

I dont know much about speakers, but will try to get a nice 2.1

Also, what gaming accessories are you talking about ??
I mean anything in particular ??
 


Here is the WD blue 1 TB http://www.flipkart.com/wd-blue-wd10ezex-1-tb-internal-hard-drive/p/itmdhgybefghqrtq?q=WD+Blue+WD10EZEX+1+TB+Internal+Hard+Drive&as=on&as-show=on&otracker=start&as-pos=p_1_wd+blue+1+tb&pid=IHDDHGYBEFGHQRTQ
WD black is a bit better than blue and has 3 years of more warranty but the difference is barely noticeable and the costs almost double the price of Blue.

Your final build is good get the cooler master hyper 212x its will keep the CPU 1-2 c cooler The x is just the newer version of the hyper 212 evo with Different fan.
" It uses the same Patented Quad CDC Heatpipe array but features a completely new cooling fan and an improved fin-blade layout " and the price is much lower than hyper 212 evo at this moment.

As for the sound i would suggest you to get a good gaming headset because in gaming for pin pointing location and footsteps or in general purpose you will need that .

I am going to go Nehru place - smc international, to buy what I can from there, (things that are cheaper than online prices), and others I am going to order online from flipkart, snapdeal, or ebay (on whichever site I find cheapest price for the exact selected model).
 


Trust me blue is very good HDD i am personally using a WD blue 1 TB for few months and i am perfectly satisfied with it plus its one of the best selling HDD right now world wide.
