[akky89]

this is my suggestion..

cpu: i5-2500K - 13K
mobo: msi z68A-G45 - 8K
ram: corsair value ram 4GB - 1.3K
gfx: hd7770 - 8k
psu: corsair CX500 - 3k

total : - 33.3K

still few things i want to mention
you cabinet should have good air flow for overclocking and intel stock heatsink is not good when overclocking so think of upgrading it too.

cheers!

[nikku_hot123]

please exclude GFX in this configuration as i have already mentioned i will purchase
hd7850 next month.

[rahulonmars]

please exclude GFX in this configuration as i have already mentioned i will purchase
hd7850 next month.

You can exclude the GFX card and can upgrade to i7.

[damngoodman999]

Intel Core i5 3570KK - 15K
mobo: ASRock Z77 Pro4 - 10K
corsair value ram 4GB
Corsair CMPSU-650TX -6.5K


its 1K or 2K high , but its best for gaming

[nikku_hot123]

Please include cabinet as per my requirement mentioned in first post and a cpu cooler.

[damngoodman999]

Please include cabinet as per my requirement mentioned in first post and a cpu cooler.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

cabinet - Antec DF-35-AP or CM 690

[akky89]

please exclude GFX in this configuration as i have already mentioned i will purchase
hd7850 next month.

sorry some how i missed that...
what about this one...

i5-3570K - 15k / i5 - 2500k - 13K
mobo: asrock z77 extreme 4 - 10.4K / GIGABYTE GA Z68AP D3 - 9.7
ram: corsair value ram 4gb - 1.5K
cooler: cm hyper 212 evo - 2.2K
Corsair 650TXv2 - 6.5K
caby: Nzxt source 210 - 3.1k

total = 38.7 / 36K

[panwala95]

or
i5 3570k-14.6k
gigabyte ga -z77p-d3 -8.3k
corsair hx 650-6k
corsair carbide 400r-4.5k
corsair xms3 4x2gb-2.6k
deepcool iceblade pro-3k
total-34.6k

also @ akky89 i dont think asrock mobos must be recommended
they usually have capacitor problems+ their rma service in bharat desh ( ) is crap

[akky89]

i'll remember that...
just the thing is they give pretty features for the price they ask... and are generally have good price to feature ratio...

[mandarpalshikar]

ASRock is good if your budget is somewhat restricted not reaching to the level of Asus and if you are not thinking of overclocking. Like ASRock Extreme6 is a good bargain at 12k price point if you want a feature reach mobo and are not planning to overclock.

I have an extreme6 with me which I've RMAd last week (since one of my friends disturbed the pins in CPU socket and now memory wont get detected) to Digicare here in Pune. They have said that the board is now in their Mumbai office this week... they'll try to change the socket and see if that solves the problem. So far no complaints from my side about their RMA process.

[nikku_hot123]

guys i am confused between i5 2500k and i5 3570k can you please help me out
choosing best one as this system is going to run for next 5-6 years.
i was looking for asus p8 z77m or m pro i am not sure about gigabyte.
what are the pros and cons between them.

[panwala95]

gigabyte mobos are great but if you are one of the unfortunate ones who get a broken mobo then you are in for a ride......
also you should go for the i5 3570k cause it has a higher ipc than the i5 2500k ,supports pcie3 and 1600mhz ram natively

Boss... very very debatable doubt you have... it can spark world wars right now... he he he. Price difference would be around 2k max. Basically its same boubt we'll have when deciding between BMW 3 Series 2010 model and BMW 3 Series 2012 model... both are absolutely fantastic. You need to think which one you want new gen or old gen.

Anyways have a look at this thread - Badass Gaming PC for 80K

Here are some coclusions from some reviews.

Despite the higher-than-expected cost and higher operating temperatures, the Core i5-3570K is a worthy successor to the Core i5-2500K. It's noticeably faster, more power efficient, has a more powerful IGP and combined with a Z77 chipset motherboard, will offer far more features too.
Bit-tech.com review


The Intel Core i5-3570K processor represents a logical replacement for the popular Core i5-2500K that's found a home in many an enthusiast and system integrator system.
Run the Core i5-3570K at stock speeds/voltages and it provides the best bang-for-buck in the £150 space.
hexus.net review


The new Intel Core i5 3570K has everything that made its Core i5 2500K such a winning CPU. Per core performance is the best you can buy.
A great chip, but Core i5 2550K and i5 2500K owners have nothing to worry about.
techradar.com review


Unfortunately, the unusually high temperatures found during overclocking beyond 1.3V is most likely partly caused by this new process. This doesn't pose too much of a concern as a decent CPU air cooler can still handle overclocks within the 1.2-1.3V range with decent results and those who wish to push Ivy Bridge CPUs much further will be experienced extreme overclockers with LN2 cooling. Average performance tuners also don't really need to adjust secondary voltages as much anymore, compared to previous generation CPUs, since the memory controller can handle higher clocks.
hightechlegion review


Bottom line is....
1. If you have a 2500K already dont see 3570K as competition but as a worthy succesor and hold on to 2500K till next gen CPUs come.
2. If you are building a new rig go for 3570K as it is the successor to 2500K.
3. 3570K consumes less power at idle
4. Temperature factors in only in case of overclocking with Higer voltages.
5. If software support gets available in next 6 months it would be really awsome to see a video of say BD quality being ripped for your phone in just a matter of 10 minutes with use of Quicksync.

[nikku_hot123]

so i am finalizing i5 3570k for processor. And i cannot go frequently for RMA and Service center due
to geographical barriers so i want a good mobo with peace of mind.

[sharang.d]

asus p8z77m-pro, p8z77v-pro, p8z77v

[mandarpalshikar]

or even Maximus V Gene... if you are building a gaming rig

[akky89]

well you can go with any of the above suggested mobo.
and don't worry mobo don't broke that easily if you are not
doing something funny with it

[panwala95]

choose from these four-
ASUS P8Z77-V Motherboard vs ASUS P8Z77-V PRO Motherboard vs ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Professional Motherboard vs ASRock Z77 Extreme 6 Motherboard: Compare Motherboards: Flipkart.com

[nikku_hot123]

^^ price will go out of my budget. so i think i should go with
micro ATX form factor whithin 10-11k

[akky89]

you told me not to recommend ASRock boards and you recommended them....

[sharang.d]

^^ price will go out of my budget. so i think i should go with

Check p8z77-m pro price with local vendors then..

[akky89]

check for asus p8z77-m it can easily be find around 10K
here's an online link...
ASUS P8Z77-M Motherboard | Motherboard | Flipkart.com

cheers!

[nikku_hot123]

untitled.JPG
This is my wishlist from flipkart it is going beyond 42k
i will check local market but i don't think there will be a difference of 10k.
Please bring it down to max 34k

[panwala95]

you told me not to recommend ASRock boards and you recommended them....

features bro features......

i5 3570k-14.6k
gigabyte ga -z77p-d3 -8.3k
corsair hx 650-6k
corsair carbide 400r-4.5k
corsair xms3 4x2gb-2.6k
deepcool iceblade pro-3k
total-34.6k

[nikku_hot123]

again i am confused should i go for gigabyte full atx mobo
or asus p8z77 m. which is better and vfm???

[panwala95]

gigabyte one is cheaper and thier feature set is similar so go for the gigabyte

[nikku_hot123]

^^i am not sure about gigabyte OC capabilities, performance and after sale service as there is a
thread regarding gigabyte RMA issue.

[panwala95]

then go for asus

[damngoodman999]

@ nikku_hot123

Let me clear it for you , I've already suggested the config , Reg proccy : 3rd gen i5 proccy have much OCing capabilities since 22nm still runs hot ! but still in future u can go for water cooler then OC .Always choose latest one . Only 1.7K more than 2500K

As for Motherboard : Asrock has very good build quality , Asus & Gigabyte you may face RMA issues since ASUS belongs to Rashi & gigabyte i dono since now many r facing issues with RMA , either you can go MSI if u have option in the mobo .

Cabinet : corsair carbide 400R gives u better look & Antec DF-35-AP is also same with looks as well as cooling u can put lot of fans
