Answering the queries now. But, my thread header is unique so that I can identify. At 50, things can sometimes be not so honky dory with a failing eyesight.

Can Someone Please Assist....

which monitor do you have?
which games are you going to play? for high end games , a gpu is recommended. otherwise the igpu would suffice. you dont need an i5 for regular office work! so mention the apps/games you would use. it doesnt take much time and will help those who suggest rigs!

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: October 2014

No sense in asking for suggestions 1 month before you want to make the purchase. New parts are released, pricing changed drastically even in a weeks time. Start the thread just one week before you intend to make the purchase.

I have an AOC 19'Monitor friend. Am not game intensive but work intensive. Would prefer an i5 processor as it is fast.

i5 4440 - 11k /i3 4130 - 7k
gigabyte b85m d3h - 5.2k
kingston hyperx fury 4gb - 2.8k/corsair vengeance pro/ vengeance/gskill ripjawsx
wd blue 1tb - 3.5k
antec vp450p - 2.6k/seasonic ss400bt - 2.4k
cooler master elite 311 - 2.3k

i remind you, i5 will be a waste for regular MS Office work! spend wisely.save wherever possible.

An i3 will be more than what you'll need. i5 will be waste of money. BTW read my earlier post.

@OP - if you can try using the 64 bit version of windows 7. BTW, how about a apu based config ?

Is any reasonable priced good motherboard available?

i5 for your work load is like buying a Truck to carry 1 kg wheat. Even i3 would be overkill. Buy a G series CPU or an AMD APU.

[MENTION=48434]booobooo[/MENTION] so what did you decide?
