Hi Alpha, Got the parts from SP road today. Here are the prices (add 5.5% for tax): Intel Core i5 3450 11000 GIGABYTE-B75M-D3H 4500 G-Skill Ripjaws 4GBx2 3000 Corsair Carbide 300R 3700 Seasonic SII520 PSU 3500 Apart from the gigabyte motherboard, SP road was cheaper than online (flipkart)...

hi Alpha, I have decided to get this setup in the end. Intel Core i5 3450 11766 GIGABYTE-B75M-D3H ~4500 G-Skill Ripjaws 4GBx2 3600 Corsair Carbide 300R ~4500/ Seasonic SII520 PSU I will hold off on the GPU. After a lot of googling I found that the difference between a HD 4850 and HD 6770 or...

Hi Alpha and Jakob, Looks like you guys were spot on about the Gigabyte, glowing reviews from various sites and good ratings at newegg. I just wanted to ask a couple of questions I had entered earlier that did not show up until mod approved. Should I change my 7 year old SMPS and also what...

Thanks for the clarification and patience guys. I'll do a bit more research and then finalise my purchases.

I thought the reason for getting a big i5 was to pair it with a fast z77 and big GPU for gaming. putting it on a little micro atx gigabyte seems a bit in the way of overkill for my modest usage. But still you guys have a good point, price difference is about 3k only.

Hi Alpha, Thanks for the fast response. For some reason my original reply did not get posted so I will do so again. The Gigabyte seems to be a micro atx which would really be a pain when installing or if i put in a quieter aftermarket cooler some months later. Is there another one from them...

Hi Jakob, getting the i3450 would swallow about 14k after tax and also to get the most out of it i would have to pair it with a good z77 board and hefty gpu. 20k would get munched up pretty fast by this. Due to that I'm not considering it.

Hi Alpha, Thanks for the very fast reply! The B75M looks to be a Micro ATX board. Does gigabyte sell anything in full size that matched this? Would GSkill RAM be equivalent to the corsair ones you mentioned? Also my SMPS is pretty long in the tooth (2006) so I was wondering if i should maybe...

Hi All, My old PC suddenly stopped booting a couple of days ago and after a lot of troubleshooting it looks like mobo is DOA. So I am in the market for a upgrade. I am looking for CPU+Motherboard+GPU+RAM+PSU. Would also be interested in a good cabby with space and better cable management...
