I think by cpu, he means the cabinet and the innards \

Rephrase your requirements sarveshrokz.

EDIT- I just figured out the errors in your questionnaire, please rectify them first so that we could better help you by suggesting config suitable to your budget and requirements.

Yeah probably AMD quad makes more sense.

Yes, but if he doesn't need speakers, monitor, UPS, KB mouse, then he can probably get an i5 2500k + z77 + HD7850 based rig. But let's first wait for him to confirm.

^^Yeah,right.
Suggested him i3 2100 instead of phenomII 960t because of better gaming performance by i3 2100 which is OP's priority.

Let's wait for OP to clarify his post.

I3 2100 is a very good Option .But most of the coming games Require a Quad Core Processor . So , in this Case AMD 960T or AMD 970 is a good Option.

^^i3 2100 can handle them well because it has 4 logical cores with the help of hyperthreading and it has quite high IPC as well so that it can churn out enough instructions to the GPU.
Moreover in many multi-threaded tasks it is very close to 960t
and beats it many cases as well.

hi all. . .thanks for your replies. . .

i just need the cpu and the innards. . .pls tel me the finalized components

i'm not much aware of stuffs like this so pls help

@sarveshrokz

Processor:Intel i5 2400 @10.8k
Motherboard:Intel DH67CL @5.5k
Ram:Corsair value ram(1333MHz) 4GBx2 @2.5k
HDD:WD Cavair Blue 1TB @5.2k
Optical drive: Asus DRW-24B3ST @1.1k
Cabinet:Corsair Carbide 400R:5k
Graphic card:Gigabyte AMD GV-R7850OC-2GD @16.5k
PSU:Seasonic S12-II-620 @4.8k
Total=51.4k

Optional upgrade:GIGABYTE GV-R787OC-2GD @22k

As you would be using 1600x900 so hd7850 is more than enough for gaming.
EDIT:OP can also opt for Seasonic S12-II-520 for 4k.

I think HD 7850 would be overkill. GTX 560 would be more than enough.

^^HD 7850 would be more future proof considering newer titles that would be released in coming years.
Also if OP upgrades to a full hd monitor in future then hd7850 might be handy.

It is better to buy a HD 7850 and Also it Fits in OPs Budget .

the local retailer does not have all the parts specified here. . .can u suggest a good online store or a nearby city which has all the necessary parts mentioned here...

Properly check for actual prices(product price+shipping charges).In some sites some products are shipped free.
Flipkart price is inclusive of shipping but some of the products are over priced there.

can i go for the Western Digital Green WD20EARX 2TB 64MB as hard drive ?

^^You can but opting for caviar blue 1TB is preferable
as WD GREEN HDDs have high failure rate plus they have only one year warranty.
Their performance is also lesser than corresponding caviar blue HDDs.
WD caviar blue comes with 2 years of warranty.

thanks amjath, i'll think over it

No point in pairing a K(unlocked) processor with an H67 motherboard.

READ THIS:the Intel LGA 1155 motherboard thread

Online prices are generally higher than local market prices.

Go for this:
Intel 3.3 GHz LGA 1155 Core i5-2400/2500 Processor
Intel DH67CL Motherboard
WD Caviar Blue 1 TB HDD Internal Hard Drive (WD10EALX)
Gigabyte AMD GV-R7850OC-2GD 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
Corsair DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMV4GX3M1A1333C9) X2
Seasonic 520W Power Supply (S12II-520)
Corsair Carbide Series 400R Mid-Tower Case (CC-9011011-WW)
Asus DRW-24B3ST Internal Optical Drive

Price difference between i5 2400 and i5 2500 is about 1k and i5 2500 is clocked 0.2GHz higher than i5 2400.
Go for WD caviar blue instead of Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD as the caviar blue has
2 years warranty compared to Barracuda's 1 year.
With i5 2400 the total price of the config in local market would be around 50k.
With i5 2500 it would be around 1k higher.
If you buy most components online then price would be somewhat higher.

You can also opt for corsair cx500v2 which is available for around 3.5k

is going for the i5 2500 processor worth the extra 1k ?

imo NO

Yes, as it is a locked processor, a 200 MHz hike in Clock Speed will turn out to be favorable for you. In gaming, it won't really matter, but in other applications, it might. But the thing is, 1k is a bit of steep. So it's your choice if you want to spend another 1k. If you can, then it's not a bad option.

2400 is vfm

If u live in chennai then there is only one place. DELTAPAGE. COM
check the site for address

Get it if within budget.
As said by desiJATT 1k is bit high.
Though it wont reflect on general day to day tasks it may be handy for future.

guys i'm buying it tomorrow. . .pls tel me if i'm wrong

intel i5 2500k @13,150
intel dz68db @7,550
2 X 4gb corsair vengeance @3,300
seagate 2tb barracuda 7200rpm @6,400
cooler master 550w psu @3,750
msi 7850 twin frozr @17,150
cooler master 311 @2,450
total 53,750 INR

pls tell me if the prices online are below the prices mentioned and pls specify the website

guys pls reply fast

DZ68DB is not a good choice. Get Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 @ 10K.

Dont buy Cooler Master PSUs . Get Corsair GS600 @ that price. Some of our member has recently bought it from Smcinternational .
Buy 4 GB RAM 1.6 GHZ AND upgrade to 8 GB when needed or 2x 4GB DDR3 1333 MHZ @ 2.5K.
CM elite 311 is overpriced. It should be @ 2K
Get 1 TB HDD @ 4.9K.
Get Gigabyte HD 7850 @ 15.5K
These all options will reduce some price and you will be able to get a good motherboard.
