• Intended use of the PC [gaming/office use/rendering/HD playback etc] : World of Warcraft

• Brand preferences: Intel, Nvidia,
  

• Monitor resolution and size: 1920x1200 22inch

• Will you be overclocking your setup?: No

• Which OS will you use?: Windows/Linux/Mac

I am interested in buying an assembled PC (cant do it myself) just want to know how much will it cost the system specs are given below


Intel i5 2400k or 2500k with appropriate m/b

Nvidia GTX 560Ti (MSI 560 GTX Ti Twin Frozr 1/2GB)
2TB Sata 3 HDD
6-8GB ram
Air cooled and quite cabinet


I would also like to know if anyone would be interested in building it for me i can arrange it to be collected from Delhi.

Since you are in Delhi... drop in to SMC intl and they will do a grand job of setting up the rig for you.

Don't buy the K chip if you are not planning on overclocking (which you should be btw... otherwise its just !@#$@R%)

@thebanik might put in a good word for you as well and get you the best price possible.

Two things -
1. There is no 2400k. there is just 2400.
2. Both those put together you have spent roughly 23k. If you need a monitor and a new 500Gb HDD then that will set you back by another 12k. So for these 4 components you have already spent 35k.

I am stating the above only to set the right expectations. A Core i3 (dual core) and a 550Ti would be a better bet in this budget. AFAIK WoW is not a very resource hungry game. I am about to hit the sack or else I would have suggested something in more detail. But I am sure there are others who are cued into the current pricing better than me, who could suggest a good rig for you.

Cheers!

Yep... what he said... 40K budget won't get you too far with a K/i5 system.

i3 would be more suitable for the budget.

i5 2400 then dont wanna go for i3

i can play around 40-50k

So I assume you already have a monitor. It would help others know it if you mention it in the opening post.
Also mention the complete list of hardware that you will need for the new machine rather than some specific models that you have stated.

Eg - 4Gb RAM, PSU, 1155 mobo

Sata II - 500 Gb is selling at 4.5k odd, 1tb - 7k and 2Tb at around 9k.

I already have a monitor keyboard and mouse
I plan to keep the PC on all the time 24x7 (not hosting or something), and afaik WoW is more of cpu intensive game so want a decent processor
i also have no plans on upgrades etc just may need a few slots for Tv-Tuner/sound card etc thats all, which i may add later

so am i looking at a budget of 80k+ ?

How about something like

Intel i5 2400
MSI H67MA-E35 (B3)
MSI 560 GTX Ti Twin Frozr
Corsair DDR3 4GBx2
Seagate 1 TB 7200RPM

I apologize may be my post may not have been very clear i already have a laptop that i use for my day to day work i need a PC (Desktop) for playing World of Warcraft (no other game) and 24x7 online for some downloads via torrents etc. All i have a big screen and Keyboard & mouse so basically i would need a every thing that a computer is built except for display and input devices (keyboard & mouse).

The config i mentioned earlier

were some of the components that i wanted to include though suggestions would be helpful.

I basically need a complete system assembled.

btw, what 'big screen' exactly? Can you mention the res. of that 'big screen'?

If you dont want to build your own system, then this is the best advice for you.

24" Dell 2312HM Full HD, Logitec non multimedia keyboard (pls dont ask how many keys! ) Razer Naga Molten mouse all i need is the missing piece that can complete the average gaming setup.

I am not in delhi but i can arrange it to be picked up from delhi, but anyways acquiring etc is not a big deal all i wanted is to put a number (30-60K) on the board for that config.

Things I need for the system
CPU+M/B (Intel i5 preferred good processing power bundled offers would be great)
GFX card (prefer 560Ti Nvidia but can live with similar ATI too)
PSU (wattage suggestion looking at very minimal future upgrades such as sound card and TV Tuner)
CPU Cooler (if the stock one is insufficient)
DDR3 Ram (start with 4GBx1/2 and will upgrade it incrementally)
Sub Rs. 3k elegant cabinet (not too flashy but does the job well)
500GB+ HDD (Dont require SSD but SATA would be good)
misc fans for air flow

did i miss something ?

PS: DVD Drive

Thanks for the response
