Building a gaming rig 1500-2000 $

[metro_2020]

hi there i have three months to build my gaming rig and i do a lot of research about it but still not confirmed so at last i am posting this and i have a lot of hope with this thread well i am from india and find good things in third world country is not easy for discussion i put little frame for discussion ........ ONE MORE THING I WANT THAT MY RIG WORK SUPERB FOR NEXT 3-4 YEARS

CPU - BIG CONFUSION ( AMD \ INTEL )

GPU - NVIDIA GTX 580 (OPTIONAL) LATER I CAN UPGRADE WITH SLI

RAM - CORSAIR VENGENCE DDR3 1600 MHZ 8GB

PSU - CORSAIR HX 1000 WATT \ 850 WATT 80 PLUS SILVER

MOTHER BOARD - DEPEND ON CPU ( WELL I PREFER GIGABYTE)

MONITOR - ASUS VK278Q 27" IN BUILT CAMERA

CPU COOLER - NOCTULA ( HEARD ABOUT IT WELL OPTIONAL)

DVD - SIMPLE DVD WRITER (ADVICE)

CASE - DEPEND ON OTHERS PRIZE (ADVICE)

Well I'd ask for more details when you get closer to buying the system. Many things will change in the next 3 months. Currently Intel is the way to go in this price range, but that could change with AMD's Bulldozer coming out. The current GPU's out are good, but 3 months from now they will be okay and new stuff will be faster/better than current offerings. So....I'd recommend waiting for further details.

In three months, the game will change but it's never too early to start learning. Sorry for the US links but I cant help ya w/ Indian web sites.

CPU - If spending less than $800, AMD is in the picture, otherwise it's Intel's game.\

GPU - 580 rocks, but twin 560's do more for less money.

RAM - Those Vengeance sure do look cool, but they don't offer you anything but cool looks of the less expensive Corsair lines. Save the money and don't worry about the tall RAM heat sinks (Today's RAM doesn't need these big heat sinks) that will likely hit your CPU cooler.

PSU is a good choice.

Cooler - Noctua hasn't been at the top of the hill for a while.

===================================

MoBo / CPU - I still like the Asus WS Revolution / 2500k combo which you can get now for $440. NF200 chip gives you full x16 x16 GFX bandwidth on both cards in SLI / CF. Gigabyte has a comparable board but its way expensive and loses in a side by side comparison

Case / PSU - My 1st choice would be the Antec DF-85 paired with the CP-850 ($235 for both) for anything up to twin 570's. If ya go with the 580's, you'd need a CP-1000. 2nd Choice would be the HAF-X w/ the Corsair AX850 ($350 for the pair) or the HX1050....Forgetting that the Antec combo is $115 cheaper for the moment, having built several boxes with both, I'd take the Antec's at the same price.

jonnyguri says about the CP-850 "It is completely unmatched by any ATX unit on the market I can think of. You'd have to spend twice as much as this thing costs to find the next best thing, performance wise."

And silentpcreview just cant say enough about the Antec case / CPX form factor pairings

$200 HX1050 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139034

RAM - You''ll see dozens of articles claiming that faster RAM has little impact on fps (average frame rates) .... I wouldn't argue with them. Bit minimum frame rates OTOH, can often be impacted. You decide whether it's worth the investment.

DDR3-1600 seems to be the price / performance sweet spot.....at CAS 9, these $54 Mushkins are a nice buy.

CAS 7 is an extra $40 .... seems a lot by comparison but a 2% increase in system cost on a $2k box

Coolers - here's a comparison of the latest and greatest

DVD - I get on that plays BR

SSD - Vertex 3 120 GB for $200
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227706

GFX - twin 560 Ti's factory OC'd to 900Mhz are the best bang for the buck atm
$440 (2 x $220 each) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130651
$460 ($2 x $230 each) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121425

I like the later as I have usually been able to OC to 1000MHz w/ adjusting voltages.

one more thing that turbo 3.0 and pci express 3.0 are going to be released soon so these should be compitable

 

[metro_2020]

today i see a nxzt full tower phantom you know its really cool but i heard width of this case is not enough and there seven fan inside well thats not a problem and price near about 140$ in india what do you think about it .
one more thing i postponed to think about cpu and mobo i will wait till amd gona release his new cpus what you say

 

[lunyone]

Well you can wait if you like, but your going to need to buy when your ready. When you get to that point, come back and ask for assistance. Did you want a Full Tower Case? The Cooler Master HAF 912/922 are good cases and have lots of room for upgrades, so keep that in mind. I also like the Cooler Master 690 case too. The 912 usually goes for about $60 here in the US and the 922 is close to $100. The 690 case is usually around $70-90 depending on the week.
