Hard Drive
Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB=Rs5,800

instead of this get the seagate hard drive in 5400 which is better in performance this this hard drive

Casing
Antec Six Hundred=Rs7,350

its your own choice but i suggest you to get xigmatek Pantheon in 7500 from iamextreme.net

Power Supply
Thermaltake Litepower 600W=Rs5,300

this power supply is good but as your are considering for a main stream computer i suggest you to get ANTEC EA650 in 7500 from galaxy.pk

select these things and every other thing is better for you

You can get antec 600 from IAX only for RS 5800.I just bought it recently.

Don't you mean G.Skill rams?? or am I missing sth

 

[devnull]

Just buy any ram. There is no benefit to buying fancy ram with Sandy bridge. Also that hard disk and monitor are crap. For HDD buy seagate barracuda or wd black. For monitor get something better. 24" at least from a good brand like Samsung. Finally you absolutely must make room for an SSD. It'll make a significant difference in performance.

Also that hard disk and monitor are crap.

I changed the harddrive but what is wrong with the monitor.it is HD and if i buy a bigger one it will exceed the budget.

 

[u0sama]

every thing looks pretty fine apart from casing change ur casing to cm 690 or xgimatex phathneon or thermaltake armour 6 or a used cm haf 932 and change ur psu to xgimatec 500 watt nrp series psu for 5.2 its a really good psu for ur rig!!!!

 

[amjad635]

Don't waste your money on Antec 600
Go For Haf 912 Advanced Superb Casing

*You must go for G.Skill Rams

 

[syedfarazahmed]

if you are getting XFX 6950 2GB GDDR5 Crossfire X2=Rs51,400 then you should get a 24" monitor too....

 

[Insane]

i will think about the monitor later.guys first tell me is it better to buy the 2 6950s or should i go with a 580.

 

[iameXtreme]

If you're considering buying a 600w psu, do look into xigmatek psu's as well. As good as other brands. About ram, why waste extra bucks on corsair when you can get the same spec ram of gskill with lifetime warranty at a lower price too. Same goes for gpu if you are considering a gtx 580

if you are consedering for 6950x2 then you need to get a better psu too
a unlocked processor + 2 power hungry cards = min of 750w good branded psu is necessary

 

[Hashim Ejaz]

Get a greater power supply like 750 watts or more ... because you will be overcloaking and u are getting two 6950 s which will get consume a lot of power !!!

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

and get some decent Adifier sound system under the sub woofer range !!! if u have the budget !!!

 

[Insane]

ok then,i will get a 750W power supply but where do i get the G.Skill RAMs?

 

[sunny945]

you can purchase gskill from iamextreme.net for psu get antec,corsair or xigamtek 750+ w psu

 

[Insane]

G.skill RAMs are not that cheap only 800rs cheaper.And the Antec or Xigamtek PSUs are even more expensive then the one i am buying.

 

[WAQAx]

Bad choice of HDD change it to seagate 1000GB
bad choice of PSU change it anything from thermaltake antec xigmatek or corsair 700 - 750w PSU
Good choice of RAM but you can also go for Gskill 8GB from IMX.. (personally using Gskill ram and couldn't be happier)
Good choice of GPU but GTX560Ti is also worth considering or a single GTX580
Not a good choice of Motherboad try Asus P8P67 Pro (or somthing like that check galaxy)
Not a good choice or Chassis get CM 690 II or CM haf 912 advance or antec 902 (you can also check xigmatek)
Moderate choice of LCD but i'd prefer Samsung
Where's the CPU cooler? ain't you be overclocking?
Rest is fine

 

[sunny945]

never look at the WATTAGE always check maximum output before purchasing a psu. a china 400w psu cost 500 whereas a branded one costs about 3k and the difference is output (usable) wattage

 

[WAQAS ADEEM]

Dont get Gx750, get Xigmatek 700 minimum or corsair TX 750 for 6950 crossfire.
6950 crossfire is a much better option than a single 580.
Get HAF 912....
