Ivy Generation system under 40k

[Lara_Shadow]

Hello,


1. What is your MAX budget?
40K
2. Are you open to alternate ideas/products giving similar better performance but offering more VFM/ sellers? If not- why?
Sure, but not for processor and z77 motherboard. WHY because I want to use latest technology.
3. What is the purpose of the computer? (Note: If you are planning to say multimedia, you will have to be more specific as all types of systems are capable of doing that)
Gaming for all the latest games, programming, virtualized OSes, heavy editors
4. Planning to overclock?
No, if in case it requires higher cooling case, otherwise yes
5. Which OS are you planning to use?
Windows 7, Ubuntu, Cent OS
6. How much hard drive space is needed?
1 TB
7. What resolution will the screen run at?
Widescreen resolution 1377 X 768
8. How would you rate your hardware knowledge from the count of 1-10? (1 being the lowest, 5 being you are somewhat in sync with the current performers and 10 being the highest)
3
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Assembler
10. When are you planning to buy the system?
Next 15 days
11. Are you one of the types looking out for "future proof" configurations?
Yes
12. Are there going to be any components that you don't want to include in this new rig? If yes, do mention.

13. Which city do you live in and are you open to buying from shops from other city/states?
Indore, No(but if cheap then online)
14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary
I would like to build a new PC for my programming & gaming purpose. I need to test my application on different plateforms (linux, windows), need virtualized system. I want to build it using latest Ivy processors & Z77 motherboards. Most preferable choice is i7 3770

I think is to compromise in monitor and in near future adjust this with some good smart TV(High resolution, bigger size) But at least 19+ inch monitor (Please correct me if this is not possible)

Intel core i7 3820 18.5k and a Asus P8Z77-M for 10.5k will set you back by 28.5k. Trying to squeeze in monitor+8 gigs RAM+graphics card+HDD+cabinet+SMPS for 11.5k will be a tough job.
You sure you are not willing for a compromise(how about a i5 sandy bridge instead of i7?) ?

Hello GTX,

1. I think i7 - 3820 is using Sandy Bridge (2nd generation)
2. It is costlier than i7 - 3770K (Source CHIP magzine MAY 2012 page 46 price 15400/-) So I am sure that i7-3770 without [K] will be even cheaper.
3. Instead of compromise on i5 sandy bridge, I can compromise on some i5 but Ivy Bridge.

if you buy a i5 3570k+z77 mobo+amd 6850(least for a good gaming pc)=13+9+9.5=31.5k, which left 8.5k for rest.
In rest 8.5k,4.5k for 1tb hdd and 3.5~4k for power supply,and in case you overclock,a cooler is needed.
So,either increase budget or compromise on mobo and hdd and little bit on processor.

you can either compromise on the processor.If you read the reviews from chip it is clearly said that the performance difference BTW the sandy bridge and ivy bridge is either too negligible or not worth the prize difference.

OR if you have to use the ivy bridge, you could wait for a price drop from intel.By then low or mid range cpu and gpu will have arrived and you could get more for the same budget
if you use ivy bridge on current budget, you would have to badly compromise on any other part like the gpu or the coolers which affects the entire pc as a whole
hence i suggest waiting for a price drop or choosing the almost capable sandy bridge

Hi Avatar2008,

Right now I am not planning for overclocking.
I have a question regarding processor & graphic card 6850. (Least for good gaming.)
As 3570 has Intel HD 4000 graphics, is it worth to buy graphic card. Or processor cant handle all capabilities of 6850?

As here they are saying "Intel® HD Graphics1 enables new and greater levels of visual experiences and performance for immersive2 gaming without the need for additional discrete graphics hardware."
What does it mean?

Please suggest all hardwares for i5 3570k if I raise budget to 45K. But please try to make it as cheap as possible.

"intel hd 4000" are just integrated graphics processor(IGP) fabricated on processor. They are able to handle light task like browsing,gaming at low setting and resolution. They are no where near a discrete gpu.so,you need a gpu.
P.S: although till now i haven't read any benchmarks of intel hd 4000,but i am pretty confident that there is no significant boost in its performance.
