2. the Ram... cant finalize the company. which is the best for 3k???

3. the cabby any suggestions for arnd 4- 4.5k

4. the SMPS. this is the complicated part... first of all my budget is arnd 3k. for that price i can get a gigabyte 550w(maximum output, actual is 450W) or FSP Saga II 500W. now i cant decide between the two as i dont knw which will be better... or please recommend others for this budget. i will be getting a new gfx card when the prices stabilize maybe a 5850 or 5870...and hv a old hdd also... so please consider this when suggesting a smps...

Well, you made your choice and doesn't need much change/suggestion.

Anyway, for cabinet CM690 will be good around 4.5k. Get Corsair RAM for their gr8 service. Also get the Corsair CX400 ~3.2k .

You might change the graphic card too depending on your monitor and your budget. :)
 
i-5 and a HD5850 with a 3k PSU!!!! You need a Corsair VX550~5.7k to handle that also for the cabby go for the CM590~3.8k. The CM690 cant fit long cards.
 
but getting VX550 PSU go's beyond my budget... wht do i do...?? whr do i cut corners??

any other psu which provide similar efficiency??

what is the diff between a FSP500W PSU and Corsair 550W PSU besides the 50 W diff??

Click to expand...

Cut HDD 1TB to 500gb. That'll save 1.7k
Drop ATI 4670 - 4k

HDD - 500gb Seagate 7200.12 - 2.3k

Total saved - 5.7k

Cpu - Intel core i5-750 (2.66Ghz) - 10.4k
Mobo - GA-P55M-UD2 - 6.7k
Ram - Transcend 2gb 1333mhz ddr3 - 2.6k
HDD - Seagate 500gb - 2.3k
Optical drive - Samsung/LG DVD writer - 1.1k
Cabinet - Cooler Master CM 590 - 4k
SMPS - Corsair VX 550 - 5.5k
GFX - ATI 4350 - 2.1k
Total - 34.1k



You need to sacrifice GPU now , if you want to fit everything including a good PSU and Cabinet for your pc
 
This is what a decent i5 based rig would cost you without the display screen:P

Cpu - Intel core i5-750 (2.66Ghz) - 10.4k

Mobo - GA-P55M-UD2 - 6.7k

Ram - Transcend 2gb 1333mhz ddr3 - 2.6k

HDD - Seagate 500gb - 2.3k

Optical drive - Samsung/LG DVD writer - 1.1k

Cabinet - Cooler Master CM 590 - 3.8k

SMPS - Glacial power 650W - 4.5k

GFX card- sapphire 4670 1GB DDR3 ~ 5000

Total - 36.4

if you want to reduce, get XFX 9400GT which costs 2.6k as would be later upgrading to ATi 5850;)
