    DAC/Amp suggestion

    ^^ Again I have never heard the E17 so honestly I have no clue how good it sounds. However yes the U7 didn't really have any glaring fault whatsoever. And yes for 5.5k it is pretty decently priced too. :)

    DAC/Amp suggestion

    Consider Audioengine D3 also. More compact than D1. D3 has slightly better treble and detail than U7 but lesser bass too.

    DAC/Amp suggestion

    I haven't heard the E17 so cannot comment on that. But I tested the U7 with the following DACs sound cards - 1. Creative ZX - U7 is noticeably better for bass and treble. 2. Creative Omni - Haven't tested side by side but both are comparable in SQ and the Omni is slightly cheaper. 3. Music...

    Car & Bike Suggest tyres for my Pulsar 200

    ^^ Seriously ? Its been completely opposite for me for all 3 bikes I have used. :P It perhaps depends more on which brake you use more often. I generally use the rear brake so my rear tyre degrades faster. Also the rear tyre is fatter so more rubber on the road. This adds to grip but reduces...

    DAC/Amp suggestion

    The ASUS U7 is a pretty good DAC. I quite liked it. Very good headphone amp and is purely USB driven to boot. Costs around 5.8k. Compared fairly well with most other DACs I have tried.

    Fastest Way to Reduce Weight?

    Try to mix exercise with fun. I got myself a bicycle and I lost weight pretty fast after that. I used to get bored of walking or gyming but cycling was fun.

    Graphic Cards Best Graphics card for 4.5k?

    Most of the GPUs below 4.5k are simply not worth buying unfortunately. Would suggest you wait till you can increase your budget to at least 7.5k. What sort of games do you want to play and at what resolutions ?

    Graphic Cards Will GTX 760 or R9 270x Work with CORSAIR GS600

    I have a 270x working perfectly on a 450W PSU. Would suggest the 760 over the 270x if you can afford it.

    Review Review: Motorola Moto G - The Poor Man's Nexus!

    ^^ The Moto G is seeing success not just in India but around the world. That says something. And more availability rarely raises prices. If sold in shops prices will drop not the other way around.

    Graphic Cards GPU within 10k....

    750 is a tad better I suppose but you will have to wait as currently it hasn't been launched in India.

    Graphic Cards Need graphic card (budget 10-15k)

    ^^ That card performs noticeable worse than the 270. For 1k more IMO it makes more sense to get the 270. On Nvidia's side the 660 competes with the 270 but even there the 270 is slightly better in most games.

    Graphic Cards Need graphic card (budget 10-15k)

    Yeah its a good card. Currently the best at this price point. And it will safely run on your TX550M.

    Graphic Cards Graphics card for 12k

    Hmm, the 660 also seems like a good bet if its around the same price as the 750Ti. The 460W CM should support a 660. AFAIK the 660 is faster than a 750Ti is every benchmark I have seen so far.

    750 Ti is a good bet for your current system. Doubt you will see much gain from a better GPU right now as your CPU will bottle neck the performance of a better card.

    10-15K Best Android Phone Under 15k

    Lagging depends on how much stuff you put on the device. Friend has lots of stuff and frankly his phone is practically unusable. If you are willing to root and use custom Roms you should have a better experience. As people have said the Grand has one of the better cameras in the Android world.

    Moto G launched in India at 14k for 16GB model

    ^^ I am not saying there is no advantage to the Moto G but the P780 has its pluses. Having the option to add more memory is always a plus point cause you never know what you might load on the phone. I felt 8 GB on my old BlackBerry as tons of space. Now I have a 16 GB phone with 8 GB memory...

    Moto G launched in India at 14k for 16GB model

    ^^ The P780 is a better phone in many aspects - expandable memory, battery life, screen size etc.

    CPU/Mobo Processor Motherboard upgrading

    ^^ Yes you can but you don't have much headroom in overclocking. Nothing like with what you can get with a K version processor. For max headroom to OC the non K processor you would need a Z87 board though. Honestly if I was in your position and buying a Z87 board and a 4670 processor I would...

    CPU/Mobo Processor Motherboard upgrading

    +1 Avoid MSI. Just not worth it. Also if you don't want to overclock then yes its pointless going for a Z87 chipset. Get something cheaper like the B85M G that harshilsharma suggested.
