Thanks Brother For your support

OK, One question

As i will not be overclocking so shall i opt for a H61 Series MOBO rather than H67 ,will there be any performance related issues and is it future proof.

kindly suggest some good H61 and H67 Mobo's which are under 7 k's.

You got everything worng buddy regarding the Intel Sandybridge Motherboard chipset. Both H61 and H67, none of them support overclocking. Also you are getting a i5 2400, which is a non K CPU, so no overcloking possible.

H67 is suggested over H61 because the former offers more rich features like USB 3.0, SATA III 6 Gbps, Lucid Virtue Dynamic switching between Gfx card and Intel HD graphics, for Ram slots with 32 GB memory support etc.

Hey

I just assembled a PC under Rs 35000, mostly from Nehru place and Flipkart.

Cpu - Core i5 2400 Rs. 10000 (nehru place)

Mobo - P8h67 m lx Rs 5000 (nehru place)

Ram - Transcend 4 gb ddr3 1333 Rs. 1100 (NP)

Hard drive - WD Cavier 1 tb hdd Rs. 4500 (NP)

Internal optical drive - Asus internal drive Rs. 1100 (Asus DRW-24B3ST Internal Optical Drive | Internal Optical Drive | Flipkart.com)

Cabinet - Cooler Master HAF 912 advanced Rs. 7500 (Cooler Master HAF 912 Advanced Mid Tower Cabinet | Cabinet | Flipkart.com)

PSU - Corsair CX500 w Rs. 2500 (NP)

Total Rs. 32000
The case is expensive, but nice too. Good room for future upgrades.
And the mobo also supports SATA 6gb/s
So if you dont want OC and have a gpu, this is the one for you. :wink:

Man, stop suggesting Intel DH67VR in every post of yours. It comes with only two SATA II ports and one hard disk and one DVD Writer will stop you to add any HDD, ODD or SSD.

Instead suggesting DH67-CL @5.4K (only 900/- price difference makes more sense)
