    1. @Keerthi,
      Cool..
      Other than the GPU, ur config looks decent.

      Definitely upgrading it with GTX 560Ti will improve ur gaming experience greatly.(I experienced the same when upgrading from 9800 GT to GTX 460)

      Go ahead and upgrade with Zotac or Palit or Msi GTX 560Ti, it would cost around Rs 12.5k

    2. Keerthi here, Thanks lot boss, i find your blog very useful, recently recommended your 30k config to my brother too .. thanks again

  2. Hi Karthik, Dinesh here.
    I am planning to buy a very high end Gaming(Should run all upcoming games with in next 3 years and full 3D & simulation games) and Home Media Server(Should be able to run full 1080p HD movies and 3D movies). I want to control all the gadgets(Home theater, Security System, media Storage and Other devices) installed in my home using this server only. I have some research. As i keep on collecting more information, more confused i was. So can you suggest some very high end configuration for requirements. My budget is around 3L.

    1. Dinesh,
      3L is too much for PC, as ur config will get outdated in 2 years.

      Better go for around 1.5L, check this

    2. Thanks Karthik,
      Actually, i forgot to mention that my 7.1 Speaker system also part my budget. I am not looking for any screen as i am planning to use a LED TV as monitor. So my overall plan is, PC (Without Monitor), LED TV (min of 40'') and 7.1 Home Theater system. My Budget for overall combination is 3L.

      I think, the config you suggested looks good.

  3. why don't you go for z68 or x79 chipset based motherboard

    1. I dont overclock and I need an on-board GPU, so I went for H77.

      Also z68 and X79 are costly

  6. hi karthik
    'm confused between AMD FX 8 core & corei5 3450/3470 n also suggest me suitable motherboard n graphic card for photo editing 2 its high extend.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Both are good. But I personally prefer Intel.

      If you only do photo editing, then go for the below config
      http://ckarthik17.blogspot.in/2013/03/best-pc-config-gaming-pc-march-2013.html

      But if you want to work, fully on photo and 3d modeling and you don't play games, then just replace the GPU with nVidia Quadro 600

    1. Config looks good and the prices are also correct.
      Just few things to note

      1) GPU : Don't buy 2GB DDR3 GT630, instead go for 1GB DDR5 GT630. Also if u can increase ur budget go for GTX 650 @ Rs.7800
      2) Do u really need 2TB Hard Disk?
      3) TV tuner cards are not useful, if u have a good TV at home
      4) Power supply go for CoolerMaster GX 450 @ Rs.3000

  9. Hello Karthik. I love your post's and info's that you provide on this blog. I purchased my first gaming rig as per your blog's configurations and well have to admit after 3 years it's still a beast of a config.
    I read on one of your posts about the HD6850 which was a great graphic card back then (sure still is now). Never troubled me a bit anyhow until now. But recently a strange thing happened while watching a movie the desktop just crashed and display turned black. Did multiple reboots but wasn't able to load windows.
    I decided to reinstall windows 7 64 bit which i was previously using since past 3 years. Did a complete format and installed windows successfully and then the big problem came. Installed the graphics driver and rebooted as the setup prompted me to.
    Just before the logon screen i got a bsod saying error code 0x0000016 and atikmpag.sys as the suspect.
    I googled and tried all of the solutions from driver updates to vga bios flashing but nothing solved this error.
    Even talked with HIS customer care regarding the issue and got a bios from them. That flash didn't work as well. Am fed up now and suspecting that i might be having a dead graphic card. Any info regarding this problem shall be kind.
    So if it is a dead card should i go for a new card and if yes please inform me about a mid range GDDR5 graphic card till the range of 7000 INR. I was thinking about a 6670 is it good for me ? ?
