Hi Guys,
Posting again after long. i had postponed the plan to upgrade my pc. finally getting a upgrade this week. Also the budget has increased. The final config is :

Core i5 4590 - 13.8K / 4460 - 11.6K
Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H - 5.7 K
Sapphire Radeon R9 270X (September Purchase) - 14.6 K
WD Caviar Green1 TB - 3.6 K
Corsair Vengeance 2 x 4GB - 3200 x 2

As mentioned i will be using this rig only for development, browsing and playing FIFA 15 (and future series). I want your advice
1. Whether for the purpose mentioned above spending 2k extra on 4590 is worth it ?
2. Since ill be only playing FIFA 15 and next versions of the same, is the R9 270X an overkill. ?

guys please reply regarding my question 2 above .
 
Hi,
Finally ordered the following from flipkart :
Sapphire R9 270X
Seasonic SII 620 W
Corsair Vengeance 4Gb x 2
WD 1 TB HDD

Still have to buy the CPU+Mobo

I have shortlisted i5 4460 but after reading a few posts i am confused about the motherboard.
which one is a better option Gigabyte B85 D3H or Asus H97M-E. Have read that Gigabyte B85 D3H is not directly compatible with this processor.
Can anyone please confirm the same.
Want to buy this by the end of this week .

I don't think there is any compatibility issue. I use a Gigabyte B85 DS3H (same as D3H except for the SPDIF output) with i5 4440 ( basically the same but 4460 has a little higher clock speed). And there is absolutely no compatibility issue. Can you give me the source of your compatibility issue claim?

You would be better with H97 based board.

i5 4460 is a Haswell Refresh CPU where as i5 4440 is Haswell CPU. i5 4460 will work with 9 series chipset based motherboard out of the box, where as boards with 8 series chipset will need a BIOS update :)

Yeah i have read regarding the need for a BIOS update. But i have also read people denying the need for the update as the Gigabyte website shows that the 4460 is compatible with the version 1.0 of the BIOS.[DOUBLEPOST=1413264762][/DOUBLEPOST]Finally the Rig is complete. Ordered the 4460 and the Gigabyte B85-D3H from Amazon yesterday.
Hopefully wont have any issues relating to the BIOS update.
