Today i hav got a quotation from a dealer and it states:
Processor- Intel Core i3 2120 (3.3 Ghz, 2 cores) @ board +cpu 11800rs
Motherboard- GIGABYTE-B75M-D3H
Click to expand...

Does that means RS. 11800 include both mobo and processor?

And are the pricing good?
 
Yes the 11.8k includes Mobo+CPU but the price is higher,you'd get the combo for 11.2k or so unless the prices have shot up,Try other dealers see if you can get less quotes,If you don't get it for less then go for it.

Which shop is better for what out of these:
SMC
PL computer
Computer Empire
Cost to Cost

(Like i hav heard that if u wanna buy Corsair SMPS, PL comp. is best as it wud be cheapest here)

PS: I wanna buy intel processor,GIGABYTE Mobo, Corsair ram, WD/Seagata HD, Corsair SMPS, Cooler master cabinet,HP/Sony Drive and AMD/ati GPU
 
rahulahuja ... hi buddy, I would be going for almost the same configuration. I am interested in the price of Cooler Master eLite 311 Plus .. so, since you are inquiring from the shops there, please do let me know the price of the mentioned CM cabinet. Here in Indore, CM eLite 311 Plus is being sold at 3650/- . Flipkart also has it at 3500/- ... so interested in knowing the price there... since ALPHA17 says that its costing around 2200/- .... whereas eLite 311 is costing that much.

Also, can you please ask the shops, if Corsair CX430 V2, the SMPS has been discontinued by Corsair or not.. because at Indore, it's not readily available, and one shop which is listed on Corsair site itself, says that the product has been discontinued.

About shops telling you price of CPU and mobo combined, tell them to quote the prices separately... so you will have an idea of the prices. Gigabyte B75M-D3H is costing 4346/- on Flipkart. So, it should cost around that in the shops. If not, buy from Flipkart... which is what I would do too probably, because the shop here quoted price at 5500/-. Quite a difference.

Also, once you decide to buy, please do quote the individual prices here.

Thanks :).

Can someone help me with this?

And @CapriAnupam CM elite 311 plus @ Rs. 2900 at SMC International Nehru Palace and it is way much cheaper in PL computer/Comp. Empire than this.. i dont exactly remember the price since am not at home atm(on phone)

And Corsair CX430W v2 is available at PL/Comp Empire but not at SMC

I have the quotation of these 3 shops at home and will post it here.. but after 2nd Nov since have exams these days.. so u have to wait a bit :(

Wow man.. at 2900/- .. that's so much cheaper than here... that's around 750/- difference! I don't know why here they are selling at this much price :( .. sucks!

Corsair CX430 V2 has been discontinued by Corsair it seems.. but the product is still available. I have details about it in my other thread.. had posted in Corsair forum.

Sure, no problem, I can wait... thanks.. and good luck for your exams! :)

Sony DRU-880S / HP drive @ 950/-

WD Caviar Blue 500 GB @ 3300/-


Was unable to contact costtocost and comp empire.. actually they are too busy to tell rates on phone :P
 
Thanks a lot @rahulahuja ... the prices are good. I have doubts about CM 450 which you quoted at 2400/- ... is it the CM GX450 model? It's costing more than 3500/- here, which sucks. Flipkart also has it priced high.

BTW, you can get Gigabyte B75M-D3H on Flipkart at 4346/-.

Elite 311 is costing 2200/- here. Sucks!

Thanks again

Cooler Master GX450 was suggested to me on this forum, as an alternative, so that model is good.

Corsair CX 430V2 was also suggested to me, and I wanted to go for it, but firstly, it's not available here. Also, it's now confirmed from Corsair forum, that the particular model is not being built by the company anymore. So, I don't want to go for that, in case a problem arises for RMA and all, because if no new pieces are available, they won't make a replacement.

I am thinking of going for Seasonic S12ii 430W, which was also suggested here as another alternative. It also costs lower than CM PSU at around 3200/-

And yes, the above prices are really quite low as I have seen elsewhere. It raises doubts for me too.
