Guys, i know its been some time.. i had some personal issues.. due to which i have to drop this idea..
So, again starting the search. I have finalised the below configuration.

Intel Core i3 4150 (or 4330)
ASUS H81M-CS -H81 MotherBoard
Corsair Value DDR3 8 GB or Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3
Seagate Barracuda 1TB Desktop SATA
Cooler Master Elite 311
AOC E2070SWN 49.53 cm (19.5) LED Monitor
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB
Antec VP450P or Corsair VS Series VS450

Can you please suggest me on the PSU and RAM.. and any comments on the build ?
 
  • CPU -Intel Core i3 4150 -7700,
  • Motherboard -Gigabyte H81M-S1 -3600,
  • GPU -Zotac GTX750Ti 2GB -9900,
  • RAM -Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB 1600Mhz -3300,
  • Monitor -Dell S2240L 22" LED IPS -8000,
  • PSU -Antec VP500PC -3300,
  • Cabinet -Cooler Master Elite 311 -2600,
  • HDD - WD Caviar Blue 1TB -3600.
  • TOTAL -42,000.
Don't ever go with Corsair VS Series PSU and Antec VP450P has very short cables.
 
OK buddy.. One question though.. Will this config will be able to run photoshop and lightroom software without NY lag?? And what about the games like battlefield 3 and COD????

You'd ideally want more RAM for photo editing than 8GB if you do it seriously and have 10+ MP raws. Also an SSD will improve lightroom & photoshop performance massively.
 
Well I am just beginner with photography.. I am just learning my things here... Hope then it shouldn't be a problem... Please confirm and also if someone from chennai, please let me know some shops as where to get...[DOUBLEPOST=1447389975][/DOUBLEPOST]I have one more doubt guys, the motherboard ASUS H81M-CS, does not come with Wireless drivers? If i need Wireless, do i need to change everything?

Guys, one more thing.. My friend is pushing me to get a i5 instead of Intel Core i3 4150.. is it really necessary to get i5 ?

Please bear with me, i am just learning things here and highly appreciate your help... :)
 
Instead of spending 4k more for i5 processor, I would say get better graphic card if you spending. You may check GTX960 or R9 285. If not graphic card, I would use that money to put a SSD.

Can't comment on Lightroom as I haven't used it.
As for photoshop I'm also learning it using an older version on a system with i3 2100 and 4GB RAM. No dedicated videocard. It gets the job done. But I'm no photoshop enthusiast so I don't know if the Intel IGP will be enough for the experts.
 
Guys i went to Ritchie street to check for the prices. It is almost coming to 42 k.

But

I went to 3 places (omega, modern and computer planet). All of them advising me to take Gigabyte B85MD 3H instead of Asus H81M CS. Infact one of them advised to completly forget ASUS H81M CS and go for ASUS H81MV3 or Gigabyte B85MD 3H.

So, can you please help me in finalising the Mobo. The argument they are placing is, Gigabyte B85MD will be able to render games perfectly and it will also be performance will get boosted and ASUS H81M CS is a very basic model mobo. Is it correct?

Can you please confirm which mobo to choose.

The final config am going with is as below.

Intel i3 4160
Kingston Hyper X Fury 8 GB
WD 1 TB (Purpule not blue .. :( )
Cooler Master 311
Antec 500 W
Zotac Gtx 750 Ti
AOC 22 inch Full HD Monitor (or AOC 20'' Led Monitor).
