Although Intel initially said that post-Haswell generation chip will also use the same socket. But recently rumors have started that the next chip will use a new socket. Also, performance difference between adjacent generation chips is not enough to justify the upgrade. i3 4140 at 8.4k is too...

280X is perfectly enough gaming for years.

IMO it's not worth it. There is minilam performance difference between a 3rd gen i3 and 4th i3. Also, the board will cost ~6k. An APU will be much better at this price or get i3 3220 + gigabyte B75M DH3

Thanks for pointing that out. What I've discovered is that official support for 1600 MHz ram was first introduced in Ivy Bridge but not all 3rd gen onwards Intel processors are "officially" labeled to support 1600 MHz RAM. I also discovered that not being "officially" certified does NOT affect...

The price difference between 1333 MHz and 1600 MHz RAM is just 200-300 INR. Also, 3rd gen onwards Intel processors natively support 1600 MHz RAM.CM Elite 120 supports only Mini-ITX motherboards which are expensive and not easily available in India. Try to find a good small case locally...

No offence, but that's a bad attitude. I understood what you meant and so will anyone else. But I also called you dumb in my head and so will any technologically aware person. Again, no offence.

First of all, cabinet+processor+ram+motherboard+HDD+PSU+GPU is NOT called CPU. CPU is just a small chip attached on the motherboard. Intel G2020 (3200) Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 (3000) Kingston hyperX Blu 1600 MHz 4 GB (2300) WD blue 1 TB (4100) Antec BP300 (2000) local cabinet (1000) total: 15600

At what price are you getting that processor?

Intel Core i5-3470 : ~11k. For 12k you can get 4th gen i5 (i5 4430) ASRock Z75 Pro3 : Team Vulcan 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) : not available in India Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X GV-R928XOC-3GD : ~23.5k Western Digital Blue 1 TB : 4000-4100 Xigmatek Asgard Pro USB 3.0 CCC-AE37BS-U02 : not available in India...

> About FX 6300 vs FX 8320, 8320 is more future proof. Also, 20-25% difference isn't by any means small. If 8320 does something in 100 min, 6300 will do it in 120-125 min; 20-25 min extra. >...

To access BitLocker encrypted drives, you need to have Windows Vista or newer OS. However, only Vista ultimate, 7 ultimate and 8.x pro allows encyption of drives. other SKUs only allow viewing of drives.

Yes, XMP wont work on AMD boards. You'll have to manually overclock the ram. Also, check in the datasheet of the RAM that what Voltage does it require to run at the speed you are running it at. You should then manually set the required voltage ib BIOS. This thread will be useful.About fan...

In that case, install 2 120 mm fans on tap as exhaust and 1 140 mm fan in front as intake. This will allow enough air to enter the case and creae a slightly negative airflow at the same time.

> Absolutely. > Install one 120mm exhaust at top and one intake at side panel.

> BitFenix Merc Alpha. Nothing fancy looking in hat price range. > I don't think you know the meaning of 'positive airflow'. Its when there is more air being brought into the cabinet than being pushed out of it. it depends on fan setup, not on cabinet. BTW -ve airflow produces better cooling.
