Hi Everyone! :)

I am planning to upgrade my PC incrementally. Can anyone help with a few questions?

I will be upgrading CPU+Motherboard+PSU+Cabinet+RAM first and my budget is exactly 30K. What would be the best possible configuration for this budget?

Which CPU-Mobo combo should I go for at my budget? Ivybridge+z77 snb+z68 or bulldozer+990fx.

According to me, Core i7, 8 G.B Ram, 1 TB HDD And 6000-7000 Graphics card is best.

Future proofing : Z77+IVB ( Lower TDP )
Z68 + SNB : ( please read above..)

So go for Z77 + IVB:-D
