Aftermarket cooler is necessary only if ur going to overclock ur processor
The smps/psu r two different names of same thing
For graphical Bios(UEFI) is possible with sandy bridge platform wait for someone to suggest a sb rig
lastly go ur own research before buying use google search for component reviews before buying u will get a basic idea about the components being suggested here

Mithun UEFI bios is not only available with SB mobos, it is available with AM3+ mobos too. My Sabertooth 990FX does have it and most of the M5A series mobos also have it.

i left the hdd because their prices are very high now and i have an old 80gb please tell will this rig work and is the psu i selected enough and i selected 2 cases which one is good and if any otheer please suggest and also a graphic card and a psu

sorry fo the misinfo thanks cilus for correcting it
@techbulb the pro & the MB u selected is not compatible
u can get Jetway HI09-Z or intel DZ68DB both @7.6K

is Jetway a good company and suggest a gpu and is the psu I selected good enough and I have a question will my old hard drive(5 yrs old )
work with this mobo ?

^^ for that price i would recommend the GS600 or the seasonic SII 520
IT Depot is giving 3 yr warranty for the Jetway MB but it does not have switchable grafix but the intel one has also the jetway supports cfx while the intel does not
make ur choice according to ur needs
or get this full featured board
GIGABYTE GA-Z68P-DS3 /2.1 Mother Board

Gigabyte one has no USB 3.0

@OP: you can't pair i5-2500K & Asus P7H55 motherboard. They are not of same socket.

Change it.
Also you are opting for 2500K means you are going to overclock, which would require P67 or Z68 based motherboards. Instead go with i5-2400+DH67CL combo.
Intel Core i5 2400 @ 9.4K
Intel DH67CL-B3 @ 5.4K

Actually I put the lga1155 in the search criterion but it showed lga 1156

^^ Then that would be a big mistake in the searching criteria (bad coding there). Go with the combo which I mentioned.

techbulb, if you are not planning to overclock then d6Bmg's config is very good and best VFM solution. Go with it.

my exams are over ,now please help me
the green ones i am sure
red ones i need
and the yellow ones are 90% sure if any better suggest
blue ones i have

i was thinking about cm haf 912 advanced as cab and v6gt as cpu cooler i will do ocing in the long run
i have a ques will the hard drive and dvd drive of my old comp work with this mb its a 4-5yr old pentium d pc
thnx in advance

yes the hard drive you can use

for v6gt not worth the price get noctuaNHD14

the noctua one looks hideous and the gt one well looks like an gt car engine are the corsair hydro series good i will not oc very extreme just for benchmarks and in the future when this processor gets old i need more juice and the noctua one is very hard to find in jaipur

D14 is one of the best air-coolers out there in the market. If Noctua isn't availible at you r place, then v6gt is the way to go.
And 30K config:

Hey! what's your max budget?? Mention it. Then the remaining parts can be filled up.

50k hopefully should i go with water colling like corsair h50 because its always better than air cooling or v6gt
i hate gamma so please suggest another and the psu also of good company watts you tell according to the gpu

V6GT is much safer than H50.

safer ? and in the reviews i read its very noisy

See this: Pictures of when your H70 pump decides to blow up! - [H]ard|Forum

In Indian condition air-coolers are more than enough & v6gt can easily stretch upto 4.2-4.5GHz.

If you need Z68 mobo go for ASRock Z68 Extreme 3 Gen3-9k / Asus ROG Maximize IV Gene-Z-13.5-14k

ok so liquid colling no v6gt confirm with cm haf 912 advanced if you have any better case suggest

asrock is not available here and asus p8z68 has more features than the gene z
even the asus mb i had to find in the market

i have found cm silent pro 700w is it good
now please suggest ups (5k)
and gpu (10k)which can play all games smoothly:-s

For motherboard, Go with Asus P8Z68-V/PRO. Either one will be good for you and priced ~13.5K presently.
For UPS: APC 1.1KVA @4.5K is more than enough.
As PSU Seasonic SS-850AT is lot better vfm than CM 700W silent pro.
And as under 10K graphics card, go with MSI R6850 Cyclone PE/OC @~9.8K

are there any nvdia cards available in this range

For overclocking ROG boards are beasts.,good for gamer except it is M-Atx.
My suggestion Under 10 k you have two options for GPU.,
1) MSI R6850 Cyclone OC
2) MSI N550GTX TI Cyclone OC
Go for 6850 performance Wise.

avoid 550ti those cards r not worth the price they r sold for under 10K nothing beats a 6850 u can also opt for nvidia 560 non ti version palit one for 11K

Check out the this thread for ASRock & even its the best buy DIGIT product in NOV. Issue

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/cpu-motherboards/147649-asrock-motherboard-distributors-india.html

In performance: GTX 550 Ti = HD 6770 < GTX 460 < HD 6850

In power consumption: HD 6770 < HD 6850 < GTX 460 = GTX 550 Ti = HD 6870

If you want nVidia, then GTX 460 is the better choice.

Otherwise, HD 6770 is better for a price less and HD 6850 is better for a price more.

AsRock motherboard is best being avoided at this point of time.
Reasons:
1. It is not launched in India.
2. Internationally its popular but not much popular.
3. We don't have any idea about the quality of motherboards which will arrive in India.
4. Nothing is clear about RMA policies either.

1) Jan. 2012 is time to launch.,
2)It's emerging for gaming boards., It need some to establish worldwide.,
3)Quality wise., I don't think so mobo material is bad., it's feature-full both in AMD/INTEL chipset based board.[Digit best buy]
4)For RMA Policies., it may not be good for a while but as it's launching it's complete series than it may create one good for Indian market.

So as to buy it's an independent decision for everyone.

i can't find any seasonic i will try more but can someone tell me how much watt psu will i need if i buy a 6950 graphic or gtx560 + i5 2500k so if i did'nt find one i can buy another companies

W

get a good 750W PSU from corsair like TX750 V2
Corsair Enthusiast SeriesTX750 V2 80 PLUS Bronze Certified

online store for seasonic.can get 850W for around same price as above corsair.

Corsair TX750 V2 or TX650 V2 or HX750 would do the work for you.
Cheaper option would be GS700, but not recommended.

it depends on how much you are willing to spend on the PSu - tell us your budget for the PSU but that's need to be 4k or more ;-)
