Home use is a too much generic term for suggesting a good and balanced rig. For a Photographer, Home use can mean lots of Photo Editing and for a Movie lover, it is watching high quality Video with a good sound system and better Display. At least mention the type of usage you require.

@Cilus
Thanks a lot

Naxal, stop suggesting those local PSU with high end configs,

why ??

^^ Because they have a high chance of getting kaput and not at all reliable in the long run.

Read more about psu's and you will know why.

Naxal said:
why ??

Because if those cheap PSU goes Kaput, it may screw the MoBo and other components too

My Suggestion:

Component	Model number	Price
Processor	Intel Core i5 3470	11200
Motherboard	Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H	3800
RAM	G.Skill RipjawsX 1600MHz CL9	2600
HDD	WD Black 1TB	6200
PSU	Corsair CX430V2	2300
Monitor	Dell ST2240L	8400
ODD	Asus DVD-RW Black	1000
Chassis	NZXT Source 210	2400
KB & Mouse	Logitch MK200	650
Speaker	Logitech Z103	1400
	Total	49,950

Or, you can go with the suggestion of Clius, which is better than this one if you consider the performance in multi threaded programs.

Intel core i5 3470 10.5K
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H 4k
Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz CL10 (8GB X 1) 3K
1 TB WD Cavier BLUE 4k

total 39K + Vat(5.5%) = 41.1K

If you are buying for home usage then don't you think both FX-8350 and i5 3470 are little overwhelming for your requirements. After all they are designed for high end gaming and exceptional multi-tasking and CPU intensive work respectively. I think you should get a AMD Trinity APU based configuration which will suit all your needs.

AMD A10-5800K (Unlocked, can be overclocked, 4 Cores, 3.8 GHz) @ 8K
Asus ASUS F2A85-M LE @ 5.7K
Integrated HD 7660D DirectX 11 GPU with 384 VLIW4 Cores
Corsair Vengeance 8GB X 1 1600 MHz DDR3 Ram @ 3K

rest will be same.

Dont intend to derail the thread but I recently bought an AMD A10 based configuration. I couldnt find A10 @ 8k anywhere nor could I find the CX430V @ 2300. I got the stuff from Lamington Road at below mentioned prices.

AMD A10-5800K -
Asus F2A85-M-LE - 14000 for combo
Corsair Vengenace 8GB 1600Mhz CL10 - 3250
WD Green 500GB - 3200
Asus DVD Writer - 1000
Corsair CX430 - 2800
NZXT Gamma - 2375

Why this RAM? Get the Ripjaws I've suggested.
Cause, this vengeance is very highly priced, plus it is very bad overclocker. Thus it is a bad choice.

Thanks Cilus thats perfect that config would make the total cost less than 40K

@d6bmg thanks for your suggestion can you please help me to choose the right one

Also Should I have to go for 2 4GB sticks or a single 8GB stick?

Will there be any problem if i go with single 8gb ram stick as few of my friends are saying that it would cause decrease in performance are saying to go for 2 4gb sticks

@ Mojojojo

How is the performance of your pc,photoshop experience?whats your WEI?

Have you run any any benchmarks?If so are the scores as expected for that config?

+1 for this.

As you plan to get 5800K, higher frequency RAM will increase graphics performance. Thus I would suggest you to get the third one:

G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM (F3-14900CL10S-8GBXL) Rs.4000 + 5.5% = 4220

@d6bmg

Thank you

Is there any alternative for Asus F2A85-M-LE Mobo that costs around 4K?coz Asus F2A85-M-LE @ 5.7K makes the budget above 40K

M

I havent had time to run any benchmark yet as I have been travelling a lot ever since I built this but my WEI is 4.6 only and I have seen people scoring close to 7 with this config so I am trying to figure out whats causing this. I read somewhere that RAM in dual channel config helps whereas I have only a single 8 Gb stick.
