I bought Intel Core i3 4130 with stock cooler, Asus H87 Pro (No Overclocking) , 8 GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance, 1 TB Green WD (Still regret the purchase), Carbide 500R and G400s Logitech Mouse in one go.

  5. Is this going to be your final configuration or you would be adding/upgrading a component in near future. If yes then please mention when and which component
    • Yes, will upgrade in phases. In First Phase got rid of my Old AMD Rig but kept PSU, KB and Monitor to upgrade to Intel Core i3, RAM, Mobo, New HDD, Cabinet and UPS (35k all after deducting my previous config).
    • Next and last phase will be CPU.

For Now, I want to go for following:

1) SSD 256 GB Samsung 850 Pro + 1 TB 7200 rpm WD Black / Blue
2) 8 GB Corsair Vengeance Stick for Dual Channel
3) Graphics card and if required PSU

Holding for CPU Upgrade for 5th Gen model mentioned. Kindly pour in suggestions for a powerful rig,
 
the cx600 is fine.
if you plan on playing the latest titles at medium settings then something better than a 750ti might be required - maybe a r9 270x or if you can stretch your budget a gtx 960.
 
Thanks to valuable suggestions by all, I now only need CPU and GPU upgrade for which I am holding now for some time. Will be back with the relevant query!
 
Isn't 5th Generation Broadwell with IRIS 6200 worth waiting? And also let me know from where you are getting the prices as GTX 960 at 16k sounds good.
 
Hi Folks, Please suggest an upgrade from my current i3 4130 CPU. Not into over clocking plus have H series mobo so K series out of question
