Old PC Dying.. Need Mobo CPU and Hare Ram

Ans: 20k-25k

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans:NO

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans:Windows 7

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: Nil. Already have a 250gb internal. and 640+1tb external. Will buy internal later.

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.

Ans:I will buy online. Local shops are not reliable.

11. Anything else which you would like to say?

Is a cpu cooler necessary? If possible I would like to include one in this budget.

You may get a decent 4th gen Core i5 processor like i5 4570 and a H87 mobo and a 4 GB RAM in that budget.
But I will leave the exact config for pros.

i5 4570 - 13.5k
asus h87 m e- 7.7k
kingston hyperx blu 2x 4gb - 5k /corsair vengeance /gskill ripjaws x
(optional) deepcool tesseract -2.5k(if you dont have a good enough cabby)

Cabinet is NZXT Gamma

then you can skip that deepcool one.

+1 for this.

What about i5-4440 at 12400 and MSI H87 G43 at 8800 ?

I have the same MSI G43 mobo. It's good. Have two PCI-e slots.
Here's my thread, if you need how I reached to conclusion to buy it: *www.digit.in/forum/cpu-motherboard...ell-processor-i5-4570-around-7k-my-needs.html

i5 4570 have about the same clock speeds but better Max turbo frequency. Rest is upto you: ARK | Compare Intel® Products

Got a new offer from local shop.

i5 4460 at 12400

Is the mobo good enough?

Which shop and where?

Gigabyte B85M-D3H rev2.0 @ 5.5k is best for i5 4460.

If B85M-D3H is rev1.0 then you have to do a Bios Upgrade in order to use i5 4460.

You don't need a Z87 board for non K processor. Also this is a mATX board. Better get a H87 or B85 board.

Z87 board for non k processor is waste of money. Just get an H87 or B85 board. H87 >B85.

if you think asrock rma is good at your place, no problem in opting a z87 board at that price. but i would recommend asus h87 pro though.better durability and a display port.

Bought Z87 and they introduced Z97 at even lesser price :-x

.

Sent PSU for rma :-(

. I hope everything will be fixed by the month end.

And you ignored everyone's suggestion by opting Z87 in a non k processor

I always do these kinda mistakes :-(

.

Had to return the mobo due to bios issues. The shop people were afraid to upgrade the bios so they returned my money.

So I need an H97 mobo for my i5-4460. Max budget is 9k. May be I can include a Cooler in that budget too?(If that is recommended).
[MENTION=135617]rijinpk1[/MENTION] [MENTION=154031]nomad47[/MENTION] ^^

get msi z97 mate -8k and cooler master hyper tx3 evo/antec a40 - 1.5k

- - - Updated - - -

or you can have a look at asus h97 pro at 9k=9.5k.

P

I bought my CPU, RAM and Motherboard for a total of 23.8k. If you get a Intel Core i5 - 4570 instead, it should get you to about 25k.

Are you sure about MSI? I've heard they have a high failure rate and poor support.

Why even buy a Z series mobo with a locked processor ?

Oh I've never really use an MSI product before, I was simply asking. The motherboard looks pretty good to me.

You are safe with MSI. There was news of their closed operations in India but now everything is fine.

Yes, im the MSI rep here at Digit. Please rest assured that everything is good with us, not only for quality gaming products, but also for service. Feel free to contact us for any recommendations, queries, etc.

Intel Core i5 4460 -12400,
Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600Mhz -2800,
MSI H97M-G43 -7900.
TOTAL -23,100.

The thing is that Flipkart and Snapdeal does not ship to Kerala (due to some policy of Kerala Govt. regarding tax). TheItDepot ships to Kerala via SpeedPost only

.

So I am left with either Amazon or Primeabgb. Smc doesn't have boards under my budget.

try to change your pin number. itdepot may use bluedart or dtdc. fk and snapdeal ships some items that too below rs5000 only.
