For the needs you mentioned i7 2600k is big a Overkill. So dont burn the money on it.

* Intel i5-2400 @ 9k
* Intel DH67VR-B3 @ 4.5k
* Samsung 1TB @ 2.9k
* Corsair Value RAM 4GB @ 1.2k
* FSP SAGA-II 500W @ 2k
* Cooler Master Elite 310 @ 1.5k
* GPU: AMD HD 6670 1B DDR5 @ 5.2k
=26 K

If You want OC then 2500K+ Z68 will shoot the budget above 30k by a couple of thousand.

Also at 17" Monitor that GFX will run all the games at maxed out Setts without breaking a sweat. (Added advantage)

Tech_Wiz,
from where did you get a 1TB HDD for 1.9k???
And the OP here is not talking about i7-2600k but only i7-2600 i.e the non 'k' one.

OP,
for 30k let me see:
* CPU: Intel i7-2600 -- 14k
* MoBo: Intel DH67BL-B3 -- 5k
* RAM: Corsair Value 4GB DDR3 -- 1.2k
* HDD: Seagate 7200.12 1TB -- 2.7k
* ODD: Asus 24x DVD-RW -- 1k
* PSU: Corsair GS-600 -- 3.8k
* CASE: CoolerMaster Elite 430 -- 2.5k
Total ------ 30.2k

This PSU will allow you for future upgrades like a high-end PSU and other addons.
Else you can consider Corsair CX-500v2 at 3k and use the remaining 0.8k and go for better cabinet.

But for your needs 'Tech_Wiz's config is perfect. And really there is no point in spending more money for what you dont need i.e an i7.

[Prajyot]

i don't want to upgrade my config for 4-6 years that's why i asked for i7

i have problem with Seagate 1TB HDD, i have replaced 3 HDD's in 1 year

well i am thinking to replace hole pc, which monitor i should buy? also looking for wireless keyboard and mouse budget 15k

[Prajyot]

my pc will be online for 24h or may be more, so i need any cooler?

i need some strong PSU, don;t know may be electricity problem in my area or else, i have to change PSU in every year, currently using iBall and it burned yesterday night

what is difference between i7 2600K and normal 2600?

[Jaskanwar Singh]

why dont you get a ups?

my suggestion -


and if you want you may add a good mid range card later for gaming.

even this will do good -

[Tech_Wiz]

@Saswat23 - He said i7 2600 and also said He wants to OC thats Why I posted with 2600K Comment.

And 1 Tb HDD is at 2.9k Typo error. Corrected it.

i7 2600k is having Unlocked Multiplier = Beast in OCing and Easy
i7 2600 = No OC.

Also only difference in i7 and i5 is Hyper-threading and from what your needs say You dont need it.

Intex, iBall, FronTech etc PSU are recommended for buying in Diwali Seasons only as they will burn Up Quick and Take your PC with them with a Bang.
Bottom Line - They are CRAP and dont Buy them EVER.
Not to mention good old bomb named CM Extreme Series.

Recommended PSU includes Brands Like Antec, Cosair, FSP, Glaciar Tech etc.

By Cooler if you mean CPU Cooler then NO. You dont need it unless you OC. But you will need a couple of Good Case Fans to keep your Cabby Cool though.

Also within 15K Full PC Upgrade with Monitor wont get you a decent system as Good HD Monitor itself will cost near 7K leaving only 8k for entire stuff.

Better wait and save to get that budget upto 25k and buy a good AMD Quad with a nice gfx and PSU+ Monitor

[Prajyot]

@Tech_Wiz i already got APC UPS.
monitor is optional, ready to spend more if it really worth of it

[Cilus]

^^ It is very difficult for us to suggest a config unless we know what components you're ready to update. Update the template of yours with all the requirements including the monitor and provide the maximum budget you can spend for a worthy upgrade.

[jagdish]

Prajyot,for your kind of job i7 will be overkill even i5 and you are going to run this PC 24x7 so buying i7 is not a option for you it will cost you more and will consume handsome amount of energy.

my suggestion are
AMD A8 3850-7000(100w TDP)less heat generation, saves electricity better graphics,quad core
Gigabyte A75M-UD2H -4300
DVD Writer LG 22X SATA DVD writer-675
Gskill Ripjaws 4gbx1-1700
Seagate 1TB 7200.12 SATA HDD-2700
Case NZXT GAMMA-2000
FSP SAGA II 500w-2100
Microsoft wireless 800 desktop mouse and keyboard combo-1000
total:21475

Ok leave about monitor and other upgrade. Please suggest me best Intel option as per #1 post

Well, what's the use of i7-2600 & H67 mobo?
I think OP is wasting his/her money on i7-2600 in this budget, as components bought in this budget will not be able to use the power of i7-2600, so its kinda waste.

Just my 2 cents.

[Tech_Wiz]

@ OP Just delete the Stuff you dont want to upgrade from my Post (#2) and be happy. i5 2400 is more than enough for your entire needs.

With Money left you can have choice to upgrade other components.

[nilgtx260]

+1 for Jaz's config.

[Prajyot]

I am web developer, so there will be many changes in application which is help me in my field. according to this i need such system who can handle feature application easily at lease for next 4-5 years

As per Tech_Wiz post #2
i don't need graphics card at this moment so i can use renaming funds in good processor or mobo

As per Jaskanwar Singh post #6
if i remove monitor and UPS so i got more funds and how about Asus P8H67M-EVO

any update?

[d6bmg]

if i remove monitor and UPS so i got more funds and how about Asus P8H67M-EVO

Asus P8H67 is good motherboard. But why do you want to remove UPS?

[jagdish]

Yes d6bmg,OP is really wasting money He don't need this much powerful rig for developing web application even a Pentium 4 can do it so he must understand this. Projyot no offense just open your mind and eyes think what are your requirement and what you need to purchase. if you run a Ferrari with beetle engine will it become a Ferrari?? it is same with i7 processor and Intel DH67BL-B3 motherboard.
Using PC without UPS is very bad idea.

[Tech_Wiz]

For OPs requirement even a Phenom X4 will do more than enough tbh

why remove ups and monitor?
that mobo is sufficient.

[jagdish]

Then let him decide what he want to buy and what not prajot go for what ever you want.

[d6bmg]

Seconded this. It is not to hurt OP's feeling about this forum, but web-developing can be done smoothly even on a dual core processor. i3,i5 or i7 SB processors overkill it.

[jagdish]

I don't understand what you are saying d6bmg?

[Prajyot]

i am just trying to get future proof pc, currently using dual core, too much fan sound and it need too much electricity

[Tech_Wiz]

If Power consumption is critical then go with i3 2100 = 65W TDP. Its more than enough for the needs specified and also powerful enough to run almost everything in decent speed.

Couple that with a H67 Mobo and you are good to go.

[d6bmg]

I don't understand what you are saying d6bmg?

I meant to say these points:

1. I've supported your post.
2. While supporting your post I thought that OP might think we are a bunch of idiots who are giving him suggestion about comparatively low end processor. So I used the the phrase: 'It is not to hurt OP's feeling about this forum'.
That's all.

i got following price from DCC Pune

[Cilus]

Each of componet, specially the CPU and motherboard is extremely overpriced. Don't buy from them. The price of 2400 in most of the Online shops are just above 9K and street price in Bangalore, Mumbai and Kolkata are below 9K. At a price of the H67 mobo, you can get a high end Gigabyte/Asus/MSI Z68 based motherboard. MSI Z68A-GD80, one of the best boards from MSI will cost youaround 13.5K.
Vengenace 4GB modules are available as low as 1.7K. FSP SAGA II 500W is available @ 2.2K. So simply ditch that shop first.

And D6mg, Web developement does not mean creating some static HTML files of college product, it needs a lots of resource, a quad core processor is highly recommended here. Install Visual Studio 2008, Oracle Server n Client in a dual core processor and you can find how slow your system is performing.

[Prajyot]

from same shop

[Tech_Wiz]

I am from Pune also. Do NOT buy from these guys as the items are always overpriced by 10% Approx. Rather Get it shipped from Mumbai Online Stores and Assemble self like I do.

[vwad]

i got following price from DCC Pune

I am from Pune too, all those DCC branches in Pune overprice like hell, especially DCC Deccan branch is the worst place to buy stuff. Buy online and assemble. Plus 1 for Tech_Wiz BTW did you visit the shop or asked on phone ?
