NEW PC for 35K Helpme....

J

hai everyone
I am new to this forum. I am planning to replace my old P3 system.. Help me to choose the right components. I am not a gaming freak.. But watch movies, play games (2yrs old)...I already have a normal keyboard and mouse, Speakers.So no need to change those..
Here is my proposed configuration
Proc - Intel I5 2400
Mobo - Intel H67 BL
RAM - Corsair 4gb(2x2gb)
HDD - WD or Seagate 500gb
DVD writer - LG 22x
Monitor - dell 22" st2220l OR sT 2220m
Great CONFUSION ABT cASE AND PSU
aBT psu - wITH ABOVE CONFIG SHALL I PURCHASE A 450wpsu OR 550w psU. MAY BE I WILL ADD ONE MORE hard disk (500gb) in future.. Also suggest a good one ( Corsair - Coolermaster - Seasonic)
ABT case - I would like to purchase a case less than 1500k with usb ports , Head phone jack, mic port in front.. Is it good to buy Zebronics or iball...

Also No upgradation for next 2years

My suggestion:
* CPU: Intel i5-2500 -- 10k
* MoBo: Intel DH67BL -- 5.5k
* RAM: Corsair 4GB DDR3 -- 2.2k
* HDD: WDC Blue 500GB -- 1.7k
* ODD: HP 24x DVD RW -- 0.9k
* PSU: Corsair VX-550 -- 4.5k
* Case: NZXT GAMMA -- 2k
* Monitor: DELL ST2222L -- 8.2k
Total ---- 35k

NZXT is the best Cabby u can get for under 2k. So, there is no point in getting cheap brands when u can get a very good brand at this price.

But fill up the ques. Template for more better suggestions.

VX550?? Why??
I think CX400 is enough for this.

i guess...he may add gpu later when he used to with computer...so better to go with vx550 i think

You are right... Corsair CX400W @2.5k will handle the suggested config smoothly. But if VX450W fits into op's budget,why not...?

50w probably wont make that of difference.

BTW, a non GPU PC wont require so much power. And even if OP goes for a GPU, the 400w PSU will be enough for most GPU's

Since he is not buying a graphic card a i5 2500K with in built HD 3000 will serve him better instead of plain i5 2500.

i2500k proccy with h67/61 is a complete waste since we cann't oc that k proccy with these mobos

But he can use HD3000 Graphics till he gets a good GPU..

instead, he can get i5 2405s proccy...HD 3000 Graphics but has low power consumption...thus operates at 2.5GHz...don't know market availability since announced in april..

any source for i5-2405S..???
I hope u r not speaking about the mobile platform...

I hope you don't even required a UPS.

Mention the Speakers you have....

But I don't think for watching movies, you gonna need a Core i5, even a AMD campaign can do this job efficiently...

Add another 1500 + remaining 1500 & get a creative T6160 5.1.

Sound Card not necessary , it deserves more than decent speakers.
Buy a 1 TB HDD only 2.4k, get a 24" Monitor , it is soooo worth it. I also do not play much games , just TV , Monitor should have top priority, !!!

Also , although you won;t need i5 2400 now , it is better to buy a good Processor because it is not easily upgradable.
