PC Peripherals Help in deciding motherboard

[vranks]

Which motherboard is better?? Asus ( which series ) vs Gigabyte X58 Ud5 ???

The config I was planning to buy is
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 ( Need a comparison with any other and suggest a better one )
I-920 2.66GHz -- 15K
Seagate Sata 2 1 Terabyte (32 MB Buffer)
Asus Lightscribe 1250
Corsair XMS triple channel 6GB ram ( would get this one from US )

Presently I'm not able to make up my mind with Heat-sink/water-cooling, Cabinet, UPS, Power-supply, Monitor.... Can't afford more than Rs. 65,000

Thanks in advance.....

Asus is just a better OCer, but its 20k here, so gigabyte is mych more vfm.

 

[taher]

^^Cooler master CM690 or NZXT Apollo

 

[vranks]

Is that in Hyderabad? Or somewhere else?? And what is the cost of NZXT apollo?

 

[arpan]

^^I dont know about hyderabad..but in mumbai the cm690 costs around 4.4k
and i guess the apollo costs even less. You can check TheITWares - Buy Computer Hardware , PC Components , Laptop Computers - One Stop for all Gizmos!!, and PM Rahul for the cabienets.

Also check NZXT GUARDIAN 921 which costs around 4.6k.

Go directly to the NZXT website.

The Guardian is not worth spending 4.6k money on it.. Better buy CM 690 Modded from KMD or get Antec 300. NZXT Guardian is just pimp and nothing better

Or if you have moolah get the NZXT Temptest 6.~k

Does CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory work in "Gigabyte X58 UD5" ?? This series was not listed in the supported memory.....

 

[vranks]

And is Corsair HX 520W enough for my config???
