MSI N560GTX-TI Twin Frozer II/OC--Free Shipping

Costs Rs.16,200. Where else is it available for Rs.14,500?
 
Pardon the intrusion... But for a budget of 50K... why suggest an Intel mobo ??? I am flummoxed. Why not the Z68 from Asus or Giga or ASRock ? And I think the I7-2600 would offer better performance.
drop the Apc UPS and Go for Seagate XT 2TB .... SATA 6GB/s .... am I wrong.
 
If you can find asrock boards get it.... But only if find in Mumbai...

No overcloking hence K series is useless... And everything needs to be fitted in the budget... Hence the intel board

OP if you like get the NZXT source 210 at same price it has USB 3 support also consider a 600 PSU

The difference between the Core i5 and Core i7 processors is that the i7 supports Hyper Threading -- Hyper-threading - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, for a comparison review -- Intel Sandy Bridge Review | bit-tech.net / AnandTech - The Sandy Bridge Review: Intel Core i7-2600K, i5-2500K and Core i3-2100 Tested.
For Rs. 5000, I think it is not worth it for your usage and applications [design I assume CAD work]. If you were using rendering capabilities, then I would advise you to get the Core i7-series [that also if you have the budget].

The Intel motherboard has received good coverage here on TE and most members will vouch for it, no Gigabyte / ASUS motherboard comes close to its feature set and value at its price-point.

Why are you so adamant on getting a SSD, a 60GB SSD is no good get a 120GB if you want to purchase one, as you'll be able to have more than just the OS on that drive, for a real speed boost too all the applications [atleast the most common ones you'll use]. Also when getting a SSD here in India recommended you get Corsair as OCZ has still to get decent RMA capabilities.

Cooler Master eLite series is superseded by the NZXT Gamma at this price-point, for more on the Gamma -- NZXT Gamma Review - Overclockers Club.

Instead of getting the Corsair CX 500, get the Seasonic S12D 430W ~ 3000/- OR FSP Saga II 500W ~ 2600/-.

Hope this helps, Sire.

Those are the prices for the ASUS Direct CU II here in Bangalore, the MSi Twin Frozr II comes in a whole 1000 quid cheaper ~ 13500/-. SMC International website prices on an averge are ~5 - 10% above the street prices OR so it is said by word of mouth here on TE.
