3. Cabinet: Coolermaster RC-430-KWN1 Chassis : 2750
4. DVD ROM: Sony DRU-880S-ZR Internal DVD Writer: 1050

Need to purchase

Intel DH61WW - 3700

Intel Core i5 Sandy Bridge 2400 CPU 9700/-

RAM: Gskill F3-10666CL9D-4GBRL 2700/-

Dell ST2220L 21.5” W Full HD Monitor 8750

GPU : MSI NGTX560Ti Twin Frozr II 1GB @15k or similar and whatever is best after 2 months

Let me know if there are any compatibility issues here. Will buy a high end gfx card in next 2 months or so

I need a good 22+ Inch LED monitor. Suggest any other better monitor if you can.

Change PSU to Corsair VX550 @4.5k or SeaSonic SII 520 @4.1k. How high-end will be your GPU?? Please specify this for better suggestion of PSU.

RAM won't work with the mobo.
Get G.Skill F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL @5k. I've checked the QVL for the Gigabyte board you posted.

I am not confused in PSU but in LED Monitor.

VX550 has been suggested.

^^Ya, but if the OP is short on budget he can also opt for VX450 :idea:

N

thanks all going with Dell ST2220L 21.5

i guess worth the price.

hi
as you are using the same cabinet,
1. everything will fit in ?
2. all screws are provided ?

ha ha ****..forgot a DVD witter. Suggest a good one. Wont be using that much. just for win7 install. after that m not going to use it

is this ok ?

for that price of vx550 you can get this for a few bucks more -

TheITWares - One Stop for all Gizmos!SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
or
TheITWares - One Stop for all Gizmos!SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

dvd - lg/liteon/sony/samsung/hp etc 22x sata dvd.

try benq g2222hdl i.am using it and its good in all ways price and picture...

D

Hey, i just went through your config. I would suggest u add 1.5k to ur processor money and buy i5 2500( for 11k ). This 1.5k can come by buying intel mobo DH67CL( for 6500 ).

N

SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W can handle GFX card like GTX 460 or 470 ?

^^ Yes it can without breaking any sweat.

N

Updated my Mobo now with Intel DH61WW (delapage) and PSU with SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W
Please check if RAM is compatible or not.
Will add GTX 460 1 GB costing 10,900 in it.

post your view on this change.

^^ The change is great. For gpu, wait for the upcoming gtx 560 non-ti version if you want to stick with nvidia. Else go for a 6850.

N

what will be its approx cost ?

On seeing the specs, gtx460 ~ gtx560(non ti)

N

1 question again. I have changed the PSU. Will it work with MSI NGTX560Ti Twin Frozr II 1GB ?

talktoanil said:

Yeah.

SeaSonic S12II 520 can power even GTX 570

N

gr8...have mailed deltapage to update website with Intel h61 mobo so that i can order. Once its confirmed, will order rest from PrimeABGB and SMC.

mailme.manju said:

Well you didn't see the specs properly mate. The 560 has a 256bit bus opposed to the 192 bit on the 460.

The 560 non-ti will also have much higher clock speeds as known by initial reactions. Its launch will clear everything.

Note: only h67 and p67 will be supporting ivy bridge proccys through bios update so these are more future proof..OP's choice now..

N

Thanks guys. I am not buying card now. Will buy after 1-2 months.

Saving on money and hence reduced RAM,PSU and MoBo

All monitors LED n LCD has say VGA port and DVI. this H61 board has only VGA support.

Will this be a problem ?

is connectivity using DVI > VGA ? any diff in clarity ?

A

You can get 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz for 4400 bucks at SMC.

Also, in such a moderate budget I would go with:
2500k + decent mobo + 4GB DDR3 1600 xms 3 for 2500 bucks
GPU can 2GB 6950 for 16k.

And PSU has to be Seasonic or CM SilentPRo 700 watts or better if you want to play it safe!

whats wrong with SeaSonic S12II 520 ? wont it handle gtx 560 570 cards ????

^sufficient.

but if you will oc then 620 seasonic for 570.

N

ok..H61 mobo for 3.7K. not bad.

But it lacks DVI n HDMI

so if i get a gfx card later and a good LED monitor , i have to connect using VGA.

whats the benefit of using DVI ?

^If u get GPU u can connect the moonitor to the GPU itself...

N

ok.so now lets say i get H61 board and LCD monitor , will connect using VGA cable.

if i get a GFX card later i will connect using DVI of monitor to DVI of gfx using DVI cable.....right ?

correct me , m confused

Not sure which LCD monitor you are gonna get, but when you buy a GPU, it comes with a VGA to DVI adapter, so just connect you monitor's VGA cable to the adapter and then connect it to GPU's DVI slot and its done.

Hey all

I have just ordered 4 items now from PrimeABGB. Shipping is free.

Coolermaster RC-430-KWN1 Chassis - 2750
Sony DRU-880S-ZR Internal DVD Writer - 1080
Corsair VX550W Rock Solid Performance - 4850
Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200.12 SATA 3Gbs - 1800

\m/

Will make purchase of CPU,MOBO ,Monitor , RAM on Monday. Will keep this thread updated. I am going to assemble on my own.

Should i get Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound 3.5 gram ?? is the heat sink of SB comes with thermal compound ? if yes how do i remove it ?

^^ Prices are a bit on the higher side but are acceptable.

No need for additional TIM ( Thermal insulating material) since you won't overclock. Yes your cpu heat sink will already have thermal compound and that is enough for normal usage at stock speeds.

N

yeah but got free shipping

and man..i m building this rig after like 3-4 years or so. not played any games and have missed some gr8 titles. Mafia , batman GTA. COD. wannna play all that now

what about the Thermal paste ?

Even I'm thinking about getting that NZXT Tempest Evo while shipping is still free, considering we don't get NZXT here in Kolkata.

I suggest you get the Sunbeamtech Tuniq TX4 instead of AS5. If you have to remove old paste just use Doctor's spirit (Isopropyl Alcohol). Works like a charm.

talktoanil said:

you should get it free with proccy.

Modern day proccy have paste stuck to the cooler in such a way that as soon as cooler touches proccy and pc is turned on, the paste gets evenly spread out oo the proccy.

Congrats with new pc!
