Here's what I finally went with: INTEL Core I5 12400F - 14750/- Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (1x16GB) DDR4 3200MHZ - 3750/- Gigabyte H610m H - 7350/- There was only one dealer in my area who had stock and was ready to home deliver sealed boxes within an hour, so I decided to go with that...

ADATA XPG Spectrix D50 16GB (16GBx1) DDR4 3200MHz RGB RAM (Tungsten Grey) AX4U320016G16A-ST50 ₹3,880 Is this RAM good for the 12400f + compatible h610 Mobo combo?

Thank you all for your helpful replies. I was only considering a 13th gen CPU so that I could go for DDR5 ram, for future compatibility etc. Though of course, DDR5 motherboards would be very expensive. Am I right in making these assumptions?

Intel Core i5 13400F 2.5GHz Ten Core LGA1700 Processor BX8071513400F ₹19,899 How is this processor? Which mobo should be best for this?

I have an 4th gen i5 4440 8gb ddr3 ram setup which i assembled myself in 2014 after advice from the fine folks here, and now it is time to upgrade. What is your budget? 20-30kK What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model) CPU - Intel Core i5...

Thank you all for your replies. I finally got the Asus H81M-C board. I'll have to do some workarounds to get the surround sound working (also this board does not have an HDMI out, so I'll have to use a DVI to HDMI converter that I have lying around). But I did not go for a more expensive option...

Thanks. I checked out some of these boards, not all of them have the ports for 5.1 sound output. Any particular model you would suggest? Is there an upgraded or later version of the B85M-D3H that I could buy?

I have a self-assembled PC with the following components: CPU - Intel Core i5 4440 Motherboard - Gigabyte B85M-D3H Cabinet - Antec X1 PSU - Corsair CX500 RAM - Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB (2x4GB) HDD - Western Digital 1 TB + Seagate 250 GB LG 32 in FHD monitor Philips 5.1 surround speakers Now...

So presumably in that case I can get a replacement display panel for my monitor? :)

I don't smell anything yet. Also the area does not seem to be increasing (so far). If I may ask as a non-techie, what use is the old pcb?

I have a 9-year old monitor, a Viewsonic VA2226w (22-inch, 1600x1050). It has given me almost trouble free service all these years, but now it has developed an area of white dots on the top right of the screen. It is most discernible when the onscreen image is black, on other colors it gets...

I finally went and bought the following components from PrimeABGB in Lamington Road: CPU - Intel Core i5 4440 - 11,238 ( I looked around for the i5 4460, but it was not available in any of the shops in Lamington Road. ) Motherboard - Gigabyte B85M-D3H -5428, Cabinet - Antec X1 -2571, PSU -...

Thanx. Those seem like excellent suggestions. Will this rig be able to handle some HD video editing or should I go for an i5 quad core? Is the i3 future proof for at least 3-5 years?
