Finally, I have everything ready. Just need some time to assemble it. Still waiting for the monitors though. CPU - Intel 3.5 GHz LGA 1150 i5-4690K Processor - Rs. 15,776 from Snapdeal Motherboard - Asrock Z97E-ITX/ac Motherboard - Rs. 12,499 from Primeabgb.com GPU - ASUS GeForce® GTX 750 TI...

yes, from Dell directly.

apparently Dell has two factories/warehouses from where they ship products. One is in an SEZ. So the prices depend on which warehouse the salesperson is sourcing the products from. Apart from that, some good old fashioned bargaining is needed :) I got a quote for 35K first and then 29K after...

Bought these: ASUS GeForce® GTX 750 TI (GTX750TI-OC-2GD5) - Rs. 11,500 from snapdeal ASUS Xonar Essence STX - Rs. 8795 from ebay CREATIVE T30 Wireless 2.0 Speakers with NFC - Rs. 7,400 from ebay Also placed an order for two Dell Ultrasharp U2415 24" Monitors for Rs. 19,100 each. Still looking...

Got a quote of 35K for the U2415 :( On US sites, the price difference between U2414H and U2415 is just $30 though. Now that U2415 is out of the picture, lets see if I can get some discounts on the U2414H.

I haven't asked for any discounts yet. Hopefully I'll get a better price if I buy two of them. I am definitely considering the U2415 as well. It is a newer model and the 1920x1200 resolution is another plus. Waiting for a quotation from Dell. U2413 doesn't have a thin bezel so I am not...

I placed an order for 2 x Corsair SP120 High Performance Edition Fans to replace the stock fans on the H100i. Cost - Rs. 2150 I'll also replace the front fan of the Corsair 250D cabinet with Cooler Master Megaflow 200mm Silent Fan. It seems to be out of stock everywhere right now. I am...

Apart from quoting high prices, it was funny how none of the shops had most of the components that I needed. SMC and CE had just 1 Mini-ITX motherboard available. Cost to Cost had no m-ITX board. None of them had 2x8GB 1866MHz RAM kit of ANY brand. None of them had Corsair 250D cabinet either...

I went to Nehru Place yesterday and took quotations from Computer Empire, SMC International and Cost to Cost. Out of the 8 components that I needed, 7 are available cheaper online. The 8th component was the 4690K processor which was available for Rs.500 less than the cheapest online option...

ok. I'll try to find some more details about HyperX Fury. Thanks for the suggestion! not sure if it is available here. It's on ebay GEB for around Rs.4000 though. Also, this is the monitor I have selected: Dell UltraSharp U2412M Please let me know if it is ok or if there is any better option...

Thanks for the motherboard suggestion @bssunil I have two questions before I go ahead with the purchase: 1. Should I get a GPU just in case it is required? I won't play any games or do any video editing etc.. So will there be any benefit if I get a simple one like these: MSI NVIDIA NVIDIA...

So this is the final configuration along with the lowest online prices for each component. I'll go to Nehru Place to check if I can get stuff cheaper otherwise I will buy online. CPU - Intel 3.5 GHz LGA 1150 i5-4690K Processor - Rs. 16,270 ( Snapdeal) GPU - Not required. PSU - Seasonic 650W...

which monitor would you suggest? I think 24" is fine for my use. I won't be playing games so response times, 3d etc.. don't matter. But I want good clarity because most of the time I use my retina MBP and I don't want the new monitor to be a huge downgrade from the retina. Thanks

Thanks for your suggestions. However, there a few things that I want to change. First, I don't need a dedicated GPU. So I can't use Xeon. Also, SSD is sufficient for me, I don't need a separate HDD or gaming keyboard/mouse. Regarding RAM, which one would you rate highest out of Corsair...

You are correct, it does seem a little excessive for my current needs. However, I was thinking that if 6months of 1year later, I feel like adding a decent GPU, then I should be able to do so without making any other changes. Still, I think the RAM that I have chosen is too costly and I am not...
