@beginner007
This is my research data of 7 days from various forum..
Price might be up down.. REMEMBER I HAVE COMPARISON EXCEL SHEET SO IT IS VERY VERY DETAILED i am just providing you conclusions.
Motherboard -
Mini itx - ASUS H87I-PLUS (socket 1550!!) GA-Z77N-WIFI GA-h77N-WIFI Intel DH77DFMicro ATX - Gigabyte GAB75M-D3H, Gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H ASUS P8B75-M ASUS P8B75-M LE
Issues researched on Availability, Price, Feature they are VFM value for money motherboard...I also conducted research on AMD variant but let it be in ur case.
Mini-itx - mobo which is available is Gigabyte GA-H77N-WIFI (due to Availability & Feature). 8500 Feature such as Bluetooth 4.0, Intel Widi (only with i3), 2 lan, 2 wifi, sata 6gb, usb3, 2 hdmi, pci x16 3.0 1, DVI etc and mini itx.. did i mention it.. lol best one...
Micro Atx - Gigabyte GAB75M-D3H (due to Availability) 4734 (feature like usb 3, sata 6 1 port only!!, HDMI, DVI, not that good as h77n-wifi)
Any other mobo is not worth it i compared this and found the above 2 good in their size category
researched on this mobos
CPU - I done research over it too
i3 - Not needed by you or by me cost is high but if u need h77n wifi and feature such as Intel WIDI (check youtube) or quick sync tech for videos.
G2020 - wow this is the best i can get in intel.. You can watch youtube "game on g2020" More than enough for us regarding htpc. 4200
RAM - Not done much r&d in this but can say it doesn't matter.
1066/1333/1600 Mhz are compatible with the above 2 mobo.. Get corsair value select ram it will be cheap or else gskill ripjaws with heat sink..
You only need 1333 Mhz of ram for g2020 Above it no use.. but for future proofing (if u are going to get higher sandy bridge) u can get higher
HDD - WD BLUE ANY 500/1TB
SMPS - Corsair 430 builder series the one which comes in carboard pacakging. remember very very imp..2800 - 3000
LED - Panel IPS - Dell S2240L Don't go for dell s2440L it is VA panel..the dell 22 have HDMI port and i guess VGA port too.. No dvi..
other reasearched
in 22 series Dell s2240L is good
so in 24 series the benq gw24 is good...
Also i want to add AOC can give details on it because of A.S.S you can check detail urself
AOC I2267FH 22 - 11390
AOC i2367FH 23 - 12000
Keyboard mouse - I am still search for good one but go with any Logitech or microsoft. Budget 2000
Cabinet - I Don't care which ever you like get it. They are all basic motherboard and processor why to spend too much on cabinet.. Get coolmaster, nzxt , which ever you choose do remember to take a USB 3 front side wala or side panel. Must include feature of Headphone, mic, usb2 and usb 3 port on the front side. that's it.
Update : ram 1333 is needed for g2020
You can get all this items from FLIPKART !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For cabinet i would suggest you to visit local market first and check than order from online...

Ditch the PC and get a raspberryPI with the monitor and external drives + powered USB hub.
on what basis did you suggested rasberry pi...
What is the cost...
And don't you know it can't do 1080p 60

Just one question: Will a DDR3-1600 RAM will work on a only DDR3-1333 (Pentium G2020) type processors ?
DDR3 - 1333 is max required by g2020 as per processor config
dd3 - 1600 is backward compatible for 1333 so no issue.. i would prefer to go with 1600 rather than 1333 because
*heat sink
*future proof
*very little difference in pricing around Rs. 300[DOUBLEPOST=1380227368][/DOUBLEPOST]@beginner007
today i went to market found that the price difference is 200 only.. so go for KINGSTON HYPER X 1600 (comes with heat sink)
I too got that 4gb stick
Will post my latest buy soon (half underway)
Dont purchase untill i do.. You will get refined info for free... i do lot of BARGAIN
