      Best is ASUS ,,, buy the box pack,,, model no ---- DRW-24B5ST,,, IT IS AROUND Rs -1150/-
      never go for Sony,, they don't make DVD writers for computer,,,, they simply outsource from other Chinese manufacturers.

    Asrock H77 Pro4/MVP Motherboard -- Rs.6,515
    Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM (Dual Channel) -- Rs.3,650
    Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 1GB DDR5 -- Rs.13,399
    1TB Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive @ 7200RPM -- Rs.4,220
    OCZ Agility 3 60GB SSD with SATA III Interface -- Rs.4,106 (This is just for fast boot options - Totally Optional but include in Total cost)
    HP DVD Burner @ 24x Read / Write speeds. -- Rs.1,089
    Cooler Master Elite 310 Computer Cabinet -- Rs.1,875
    Corsair VS450 450Watt Power Supply Unit -- Rs.2,320

    Will this build work if i replace the gtx 650ti to gtx titan. I already have one lying around. Since i've already invested 80k over this, i don't wanna invest more than necessary on anything else. Pls reply.

    1. Karthik ChandrarajApril 16, 2013 at 10:22 PM

      1) GTX Titan needs a min of 600W, So you need Cooler Master GX 650W or 750W
      2) Also the card it very big, Even though this might fit, a bigger cabinet is recommened.

      It is a newer version of the interface, newer means faster and better.
      To use the full power of the new interface, both mobo and GPU should support it.

      But it will also run on PCIE 2 mobos at lower speed

      Games depend more on GPU that CPU, but CPU matters a little.
      Crysis 3 will work if u use Athlon X2 with a good GPU

    2. UnknownSeptember 8, 2013 at 8:20 PM

      Karthik , that is completly wrong.

      A good CPU is also needed along with a good GPU!
      That CPU will bottleneck any of the good gpu's and no way it will be able to handle a game like crysis3.

    Hi Karthik,

    Thank you for the very useful posts.

    I am looking to build a desktop by myself just for the kick of it. Can you please share your thoughts on a couple of these?

    Primary Usage : Multimedia PC, Analytical programs like SAS on medium sized data sets.

    Would like a future proof configuration ( lets say the motherboard fails couple of years down the line.I would look to buy a compatible motherboard without rendering any of my components unusable. )
    Full HD with 5.1/7.1 audio would be must have. Would this need a graphics card? NO GAMING needs at all.
    Solid state drive for OS and heavy programs is desirable for the quick booting convenience.

    Budget somewhere in the range of 40k - 70k including the following which I already own
    DELL S2240L - 9K
    Logitech MK270 Wireless Combo - 1.4k

    Please provide some inputs.

    Thanks,
    Pavan

    Dont go for this build.

    KARTHIK Please dont misguide people into buying bad products. Also the pricing is way wrong.

    fx 8120 = Is the AMD's old-gen cards with loads of issues.
    Fx 8320 would be recommended but again 8320 should only be bought if one has plans on overclocking. There 8350 would be the best bet.
    As you have not specified any sort of explanation as to why you have listed those parts, i conclude you yourself haven't done any research.

    Please stop trying to make your blog more popular with such wrong information.

      Again, did you see the post date? Also my suggestion depends on various factors, not just performance. I look at price-performance ratio, availability in India, price at the point of post, etc

      "As you have not specified any sort of explanation as to why you have listed those parts, i conclude you yourself haven't done any research"
