Get whichever fits ur budget.. U cant go wrong either way... Also include ASUS P8Z68-V (non pro)..
 
I would definitely recommend the ASUS p8z68-v. I just bought it. :)

Btw, thanks a lot @DarkAngel. Your guide is a life-saver. Just tweaked your Mid-End Gaming Rig a bit before buying.

i5-2500k

Asus P8Z68-V

Corsair CX600 V2 600W

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE/OC

G.SKILL Sniper 8GB F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR

NZXT Lexa S

BenQ E2220HD

Sacrificed the cooler. Which in the South sounds counter-intuitive...But what the hell... :ashamed:
 
i5-2500k-9.8k
Asus P8Z68-V DIGI VRM-12.3k
Corsair tx650v2-5.2k/corsair vx550w-4.5k

Yes there are a lot of complaints for the MSI beeping, but I have the same board and in my case there are 3 beeps and honestly its not too loud or irritating, not too much of an issue. Of course in same cases I have read it could give upto 5 beeps plus which would be irritating.

Update your Bios the number beeps comes down to 1.

the gatekeeper is pretty much spot on with the prices.

Had to change a couple at the last minute coz of availability issues...

Asus P8Z68-V Pro - 13.7K

Sapphire HD6950 1GB (twin fans) - 14.9k

LG 2360V 23" LED - 10.5k

the cx600v2 costs 3.5k, but it is a builder series so u can go with the other options on that one.

primeabgb and theitdepot are good.

ebay works too sometimes.

:)
