Motherboard For i5 2500K URGENT !!

please suggest me a good mother board under 5-7k for i5 2500K , I wont be overclocking , my main work sector is PS CS5 and a bit of casual gaming , but I want to have a solid MOBO that can Incorporate a need of Good GPU in future . And it can make use of the IGP of the 2500K .

PS is crossair CX 600 enough for my requirement .. consider use of a decent GPU in near future

For motherboard, get the Biostar TZ68K+ @ 7.4K
For PSU, get Corsair GS600 instead of CX600. The price is marginally higher.

Is this mobo available In kolkata ? Any other Z68 series mobo in the 6k range ??
Again some people are suggesting since am not buying a GPU now , I sd stick to a 500w SMPS CAbinet combo like bijli or zebronics and get a better SMPS when I buy a GPU along with it .. confused

If your not going to be overclocking shouldn't you be going with Non k version and save some money..?

i5 2500 instead of i5 2500K

Since am not getting a GPU rt now , and saw the graphics performance of 2500k ie HD3000 to be quite good for casual gaming & PS works am opting for this processor , anyway the diff is hardly 700/800 INR

For psu my suggestion will be Seasonic S12II 620W@4.6k.

I'm not sure the availability of the BIOSTAR mobo in Kolkata but it is available in flipkart. So you can order from them and go for the cach on delivery option.

Flipkart: Biostar TZ68K+: Motherboard

The other mobo within 7K is INTEL DZ68DB but the BIOSTAR board is better.

Answer to both the questions: no.

W

get biostar board from flipkart with cash on delivery option.flipkart has good reviews & their replacement service is also praised by many.also don't skip getting a good PSU because it affects your entire pc.get a SeaSonic S12II 520W for 3.5k or at least a SeaSonic S12II 430W or Corsair CX430 V2 430W for ~2.5k.

M

Get Asus z series if affordable or h one if on tight budget.

Get the ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 Mobo for Rs.7100 from frontechonline.com

are you sure its available there??
checked the website they dont sell motherboards at all :razz:

asrock has only 1 year warranty on mobos - so it's better to opt for some other brand like Biostar, Jetway or even Intel original for a Z68 mobo ;-)

Thank you guys for ur feed back , built my PC last week , was tight on budget and have no plan for OC rt now so went for a budget mobo, here goes my config

Intel i5 2500k
Intel DH67CL
Crossair vengeance 4GB , 1600 FSB
Crossair GS 600 PSU
Cooler Master Elite 311+ one extra CM FAN
HP DVD RW

I know the mobo is the weak link of this rig , but I did n want to compromise on the Processor and would use the IGP of this processor as of now so H67 chipset was needed .

^^ Congrats on your purchase.
By now you should have known that your DH67CL will cut off 'K' part from your processor. But from the meaning of your post, I think you bought 2500K only because of its HD3000.

SRA, congrats on your purchase. Good thinking, when you will get some money, upgrade to Z68/P67 chipset based motherboard.

well, you paid a Rs. 2000 premium for the K series processor. Should have rather bought a non-K series processor and a graphic card like HD 5570 for Rs. 3500.

@ SRA - congrats and how much you paid for all the components ? if possible post the individual prices of each item.

Thank You everybody

it will do just fine .. great deal ... thanks ;-)

Bought everything from Vedant Computers , Chandni Chowk , Kolkata

You sure its DH67CL!
AFAIK Intel DH67BL-B3 sells for 5k and Intel DH67CL-B3 for 5800.

BTW whats the reason for getting a GS-600 for 4.2k??
Instead you could have bought FSP SAGA-II 500W for 2.2k and used the remaining 2k to get the Biostar Z68 mobo suggested above.

Anyways congrats for your purchase.
