Great, so Corsair has important issues in both 400R and 500R. Other companies seem to have better options in this budget.

One important issue with Corsair 400R is, directly in front of the front intake fans is the wall of the HDD cage, which cannot be moved around / replaced / rotated. Severely blocks front air intake, and doesn't even let that air flow on the hard drives, but cools the silly HDD cage. Saddens me...

Asus has many h77 and b75 chipset motherboards, both should be fine for you. Inherently, both these are ivy bridge generation chipsets , built on 22 NM process, so most power efficient in Intel line up currently. Major difference - h77 has 2 sata 6gbps ports, and b75 has 1. These are typically...

Motherboard is micro ATX, so won't fit in prodigy. Cabinets costing more than 2000 might take away from the low-cost nature of the system. And this processor, motherboard como runs cool so no heavy cooling is required. If not using more than 2 hard drives, or low cost of this combo is an...

Maybe you already know this but just to clarify : performance of the PC does not go down after some time of buying. Only that new software is released, old software is updated, to require faster hardware. So the games that work well immediately after buying the PC will keep working just as...

You like storm stryker, its airflow is good considering bottom fan with reasonable clearance. Since you like LEDs, I'm guessing you might like the large transparent side panel of storm stryker, good to show off the damn LEDs. Filters are easy to remove and clean. So there should be no issue...

Both 2 TB hard drives are full and you are going to get another one to fill? Existing data is in multiple drives, or each data item is in a single drive only? Don't worry about raid, you don't need it Edit : without backup, you end up like this...

HAF X has the problem shared with many of today's new fangled cabinets - the rotated hard drive cage nullifying the front fan and front mesh vent. The fan directly blows to a wall, which is the side of the HDD cage. Wasting electricity if you run the fan, losing frontal airflow if you don't run...

ALL hard drives will fail. sooner or later. If data is important, you need a backup. If you can't afford backup, you cannot afford to keep the data safe, simple. Backup is better than RAID, because backup protects from 1. Accidental data corruption, 2. Silent hardware failure - RAM and hard...

File compression, encryption, decryption , repairing large archives, checksumming - AMD wins. So actually it makes for a nice HTPC cum large video storage server, if you are privacy oriented and use encrypted storage. Large files have to be checksummed and verified periodically to guard against...

NTFS filesystem? For full solution, post partition layout here. Hint - defragment in windows, download gparted live CD, make bootable USB pen drive, boot from it, move partition away from affected area by increasing empty space before first partition.

Watch out for i3-3225. Appears on newegg for 144$, i5 3570 is 230$. When it comes to India, it could be priced 7k-10k. Especially in HTPC, in addition to saving money it produces less heat, consumes less power so can do with smaller PSU, smaller cases, less fans or less noisy fans.

In most SSDs manufactured after 2010, the file system supporting TRIM is not absolutely essential to keep good performance. OCZ Vertex 4 / Samsung 830 series / Crucial M4 / Intel 3 or 5 series are said to work fine without TRIM enabled file system. BUT, do run TRIM manually every week - month...

I'm not sure about exact model numbers in TN panels. The AOC one has 2ms according to AOC or according to some third party reviewer?

Ok, so I can see why you are attracted to IPS. It's nice in working with pictures. We can't invent cheap IPS with low response time right now, so your choices are : 1. Increase budget to get IPS with slightly low response time. Depends on your eyes and attention to detail, but most people...

Depends on the brand. Check out reviews of the brand you are getting locally, or post here with the specific brand and model number.

It means the monitor cannot show fast moving objects without trails / ghostlike artifacts. If your games involve fast moving objects (most do) stick with TN or very expensive IPS monitors. Not sure about response time of your laptop screen, google for it or ask here.

In general, IPS monitors have higher response time than TN ones. Since you game, better stuck with TN. Check for under 5 ms response time.

Since you type a lot, learning touch typing will do a world of good to you. Your neck will thank you. It also makes it simple to choose a keyboard, just as a bonus. Unsolicited advice, I know.

Check the size of your RAM modules (in a photo of it). According to the flipkart comment, motherboard 's RAM slots might be too close together and so unable to fit RAM modules with even slightly large heatsink. While I don't know how true that comment is, you anyway don't need RAM with any...
