keyboard-corsair k70 rgb
mouse-logitech g402 hyperion fury
os-windows 7 ultimate.

so i want to upgrade it, what should i do money is not mattering.But i want a worthfull rig. my work is heavy gaming kinda little work,surf,music.
so x99 or z270. water cooling vs liquid cooling, ovetclocking or not. yes and my cabinet ate too much space that i cant fit 27 inch monitor not even 24 inch.
so which components? money doeasent matter but i want it in limit cuz there is no worth for stuff that i dont need, no compromise in quality. I dont do 3d rendering still, i am a diploma civil student. no video editing too but interested in it a little bit. top notch quality and upmarket feeling is essential and a some online gaming is in the way too. So please help me.

for your needs (workload), you can:
1. add ram
2. upgrade GPU (depends on your monitor)
3. upgrade PSU (corsair RM650x or EVGA SuperNova G2 or G3 are great options)
4. add an SSD.
Optionally you can change the case to something Fractal Design Define S or Define C and add a better cooling like Noctua for air or EK Predator for liquid

n0ns3ns3 · Dec 4, 2016

link your favorite online store (language not important).
What monitor do you want to use (resolution). what is the size of computer case that you want ?

www.primeabgb.com
www.amazon.in

Tony Sharp · Dec 4, 2016

As case size firstly i wanna know that is atx motherboatd is good for me or i shoud get xl atx?

Tony Sharp · Dec 4, 2016

my card will be gtx 1080ti.
so monitor should be the best one not that curve ultrawide thing cuz i aint got enough space.

Chugalug_ · Dec 4, 2016

I absolutely agree with nonsense here, those 4/5 things are key.
What is your budget OP?
The M12II 520 is the best unit for the job in India: http://mdcomputers.in/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=4908&search=m12II+520
I'll make a list for the rest once I get a budget.
Is the monitor to be included in this budget?

Tony Sharp · Dec 4, 2016

2 to 2.5 lakhs is the budget and monitor is also included in this or if a cool monitor cant fit in this then i am able to expand the budget. and important is the gpu will be gtx1080ti

Chugalug_ · Dec 4, 2016

200,000-250,000?
That's a lot for an upgrade of this size.

The 1080ti isn't released yet keep in mind, i'll use a placeholder price of 70k INR.

Tony Sharp · Dec 4, 2016

Well ya i am ready wait for gtx1080ti launching

Chugalug_ · Dec 4, 2016

It is expected to launch some time in January.

Tony Sharp :

Z270 is better due to the higher clock speeds, but it won't be out until around the same time as the 1080ti.
My build is the best you can get right now, but post here again when both Kaby Lake and the 1080ti are out and i'll make a list for you.

Tony Sharp · Dec 4, 2016

so no x99 needed? and as the case it aint have have dvd drive bay, so any other cool one? and i like asus motherboards most and monitor is good, no overclocking needed? and what about pcie ssd?

Chugalug_ · Dec 4, 2016

All good motherboards in the midrange are sold out up to about the 17k mark, that board is very good and is a fantastic deal on Amazon, MSI are still good.
Get an external dvd drive if you need one, most good mid tower cases don't have them nowadays, and the ones that do aren't in India.

Tony Sharp · Dec 4, 2016

ok so do i need x99?

Chugalug_ · Dec 4, 2016

No.
x99 is for rendering and video work, even then an i7 is plenty.

Tony Sharp · Dec 4, 2016

ok then not even for advanced autocadd design x99 aint worth it?
If i buy x99 then it will have more cores in its proccessors which will help for modern games in coming years. so what about that?

Chugalug_ · Dec 4, 2016

Nah, the clock speed in an i7 is better, beyond 8 threads there's little to no benefit atm.
Maybe in two years time, not now though.
