So you want a complete rig, right?

how exactly do you plan on using the i5 2400 with an AM3+ socket ?
And please tell us clearly what are the components which have to be bought.

@OP why you are going with that high cost cabinet? or you already have it?

And if you haven't already bought than cabinet go with NZXT Lexa S or NZXT Guardian both stylish cabinets with great cable management and priced < 5k

When you are having a budget of 5K , you must only think of CORSAIR CARBIDE 400R .

guys my brother is crazy about that cabinet....some friend of his told him to buy that, he has already ordered Intel 3.1 GHz LGA 1155 Core i5-2400......it would be very helpful if you guys could suggest me a good rig for 35k with this processor- no need for speakers,ups or keyboard-mouse

Yes but don't you know that you can't run i5 2400 LGA 1155 on a GIGABYTE AM3+ mobo

Kindly make the point clear. You want a RiG excluding processor, motherboard & case? Or excluding just speakers, ups & KB+mouse?

R

Suggest me a rig excluding:
1.UPS
2.keyboard-mouse
3.Speaker

since the processor Intel 3.1 GHz LGA 1155 Core i5-2400 is already on the way...we can't change that pls suggest the mobo,ram,hdd,monitor,PSU,Gpu and the cabinet...
