Good advice from Alpha17. Go with the Intel Core i5 3570 and ASUS P8Z77. I'd also suggest the Kingston HyperX T1 1600MHz (2x4GB) that I'm presently using. It's pretty awesome - my cousin recommended it. And yeah I agree - you should probably go with the Cooler Master Storm enforcer. Good luck! :)

Yes the Corsair VX550W is a really good SMPS [now out of production] it will handle the RIG without issues.

bt Intel Core i5 3570k is not available in new delhi market
Click to expand...

If you are comfortable with purchasing from eBay do so OR go for the Core i5 2500k instead of the i5 3570k [local purchase from Nehru Place].
 
could you suggest me (Overclock) and (Non-OC) within 40K+(2K) ? (MOBO+PROCESSOR+CPU COOLER+RAM+SMPS+CABINET)
mainly I will use for programming and gaming. I am going to buy today
 
is ASUS P8Z77-M PRO available in New Delhi?

Which is better GSkill RIPJAWS / Corsair Vengeance?

4GBx2 or 8GBx2 ?

Contact SMC International they will be able to tell you whether they have the ASUS motherboard in stock OR not.

In between the Corsair Vengeance and G.Skill RIPJAWS I suggest that you go for the latter because the performance is relatively unchanged as well as the heat-spreaders thanks to being more modest in height will not obstruct the heat-sink of the cooler.

Here are the RIG's I would suggest you:

Over-clockable --
Intel Core i5 2500k ~13000/-
ASUS P8Z77-M PRO ~12500/-
G.Skill RIPJAWS 4GB x2 1600MHz ~3500/-
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO ~2400/- OR Cooler Master V6GT ~3600/-
Corsair Carbide 400R ~5500/- OR Cooler Master STORM Enforcer ~6000/-
Corsair TX V2650W ~5800/-

Non over-clockable RIG --
Intel Core i5 3550 ~13500/-
Intel DH77-KC ~7000/-
[rest RIG same as above, you can buy the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO if you are not over-clocking]

Hope this helps, Cheerio!
 
CPU - i5 3570k
Mobo - ASUS P8Z77-M PRO
Ram - Corsair Vengeance 4 GB RAM x 2
Cabinet - Cooler Master STORM Enforcer
CPU Cooler - CM TPC 812
SSD - Corsair ForceGT 120GB
HDD - WD Black 1TB + Seagate 500GB
GPU - Sapphire HD5850

Is corsair VX550 enough for above config??? plz help
 
I'd recommend you to get Corsair TX650V2-5.5k as HD5850 eats lot of power and also you'll be overclocking the cpu so it's better to get 650W PSU.

It is enough man. You need not worry, until you plan to over-clock to 4.5Ghz OR higher then I recommend that you go for the Corsair TX v2650W.

Jakob we have had enough cases of the Corsair VX450W handling a HD5850 + AMD Phenom IIx4 quad-core, if the junior can handle that the VX550W can take the new Core i5 3570k + HD5850 pretty easily.

It is only if OP wants to cross 4.5GHz on his Ivy-Bridge then we are talking about overtaxing the VX550W.

Not that expert in Ocing,Well then it's okish i guess.:)

Neither am I Tejas, but simple mathematics something bot hof us can handle. E.g. --

The stock TDP of a Sandy-Bridge quad-core was ~95W, let us round it off ~100W. Now for every 200MHz scales let us add ~5W to the power consumption [this is gross simplification for illustration] so at ~4.5GHz the Core i5 2500k will be gulping down ~150W.

With Ivy-Bridge the TDP has gone down to ~80W. Now the wall will be hit much earlier at ~130W. So a 20W margin still exists.

Hope this helps, Cheerio!
 
You'd get APC BR1.1KVA-5.4k OR Microtek 800VA-4k don't know the exact prices but the APC one should be good enough t give you 15min backup.Anything lower won't be able to take load of your system and your pc will shut down as power cuts.
