There are no good mobos under 6k for an i7-8700.
You can't just assign a budget to mobo without taking the entire config in consideration.

Thanks for the config ..

The mobo you suggest having only usb 3.1 Gen1.. is that enough ? what about gen2 ?

And the moniters seems to be a bit costly .. can I buy this *www.amazon.in/dp/B01GFPGHSM/ref=psdc_1375425031_t1_B01IBM5V66 ... Is curved moniters are good for programming and designing

Curve monitor are terrible for designing that is why I didn't suggested it in first place

You have mentioned above you need this PC for designing purpose.LG monitor I have mentioned supports sRGB 99% Adobe RGB 70% NTSC 76% and these are not supported by monitor you have mentioned.

For your kind of work color accuracy is very important so get LG one I have mentioned.

I asked whether I need gen2 usb ports speed in future ? that is how long it will take for storage devices with transfer speed greater than usn3.1 gen1 speed ?

(sorry for disturbing you.. I am spending 10k in mobo .. So I am particular about these ports because they are day to day use )

Do You even need that much speed? USB 3 is plenty enough. And USB 3.1 is even faster. If all this gen 1 , gen 2 talks are making you dizzy I suggest you go through the below article :
What's The Difference Between USB 3.1 Gen 1 And USB 3.1 Gen 2?
A very well written article and hopefully clears all your misgivings about the board you will buy.

^^ Not sure if you want a µATX or ATX Board. There are few µATX boards under 10k to look at like Asus Prime B450M, MSI Bazooka or B450M Pro. But they are all around 8k or more. So its better go for the ATX form factor for around 10k. You can get a MSI Tomahawk B450 for around 9.8k.

i7 8700 is better than 2600X but its also expensive than the latter - almost by 6k.

That depends on your requirements. Web and Android development can be done on an i3 too with loads of RAM - preferrably 16GB. But if you wanna run lotta VMs with a DB service along with ETL tool like Informatica then go for more cores. Weigh in your requirements and decide which CPU to go for. I dont have any clue about game development so cant help you out there.

For TVs IPS is better due to wide viewing angle but for monitor VA are better due to better contrast ratio and VA panel is good too with better contrast ratio

Does spec alpha support 212 Evo?
No! As per spec alpha specifications "Maximum CPU Cooler Height 156m" while as per 212 Evo specs "Dimensions 120 x 80 x 159 mm (4.7 x 3.1 x 6.3 in)". Most good cpu coolers need 160mm maximum cpu cooler height support in cabinets & I personally prefer those cabinets which support maximum 165mm cpu cooler height.

You dont need a 3rd party cooler, for now use the stock intel cooler, and see if your use case requires higher cpu temps. Only then buy a separate cooler.
That intel cpu cant overclock, stock cooler should be sufficient.

Take a look here,guy was running i7 8700 & hitting 80-90C with stock cooler even when in a cold country(ambient room temps ~22C). I suggest getting a cabinet with at least 160-161mm max cpu cooler height so if in future need arise then you can at least install a good aftermarket cooler like hyper 212.

It is most likely due to improper seating of the CPU, every other guy (including the accepted answer) is saying the same thing in that thread.
Its best OP try stock cooler and then decide if it throttles.

Only write operations matter for ssd,you have bought kingston A400 120gb I think & it has a 40TB lifetime write limit.Just install crystaldisk info free & check the total host writes raw value(before that go to functions--advanced feature--raw values & select 10[DEC] to show values in normal decimal system) & check & compare its value on daily basis. I doubt you will be able to do even 10gb write operations with OS in a day.

Thanks for the answers guys. One small discontent. The suggest mobo Z 370 A Pro don't have USB 3.1 gen 2 ports like tomohawk mobo

Since I am going to spend 10k in mobo I need it
.
Because many mother boards with same price tag having gen 2 ports.
.
But I confused due to lot of models and sub models.
.
I read the article you suggested. Good to read

Even though gen1 speed is enough for current generation storage devices I want something future proof . Since I am going to use it for 4 years. Usb 3.1 gen 1 is just an rebranding of USB 3.0 and USB 3.0 is 8 years old
.
So please suggest a mobo

After all, you are spending a heavy price (10k).

Aug 16, 2018 at 7:57 PM
^^10k is not that much for a quality mobo(in fact no 10k amd mobo is good enough for 2700 at even stock). What exactly is use of usb 10gbps anyway unless someone frequently moves 100s of GB of data frequently using internal ssd & external ssd? I had usb 3 ports for almost 3-4 years now & only time I ever appreciate them is when transferring 100Gb+ data via usb hdd or creating/restoring system drive images in usb hdd.

P.S. you will have to sacrifice something(most probably good VRM) when looking for gen 2 usb ports in 10k budget range.

What is VRM? Explain in detail?
Basically VRM are components on mobo that regulate voltage when supplying power to pc components(especially processor). Poor quality VRM heat faster while better quality VRM runs cooler. Usually VRM are designed with processor at stock speed(aka no overclocking) on non-overclockable mobos while on overclockable mobos VRM are designed to handle extra load because of increased power consumption due to OC. That is why a good OC mobo cost higher because it has better VRMs.

In case of AMD mobos some reviews have found that many B450/X450 mobos come with so bad VRMs that even running a high end ryzen like 2700x at stock speed will cause VRMs to heat so much that processor thermal throttling will start taking place(reduction in processor speed to prevent overheating).

But hackintosh is unstable in production. So we decided to invest in mac mini in future.

No,it can only be used to operate the wireless kb/mouse that came with it.If you lose this wireless dongle then you can't even buy replacement(at least not at a lesser cost than buying a new wireless kb/mouse again).

TX550M is out of stock for a long time now,better get this:

Gradle Build tool for Android recommends to allocate 4 GB space in RAM. And Android studio studio occupies 800 MB in RAM

Chrome occupies nearly 800 MB even for 4 tabs (need to be opened for program help)

Adobe XD and illustrator needs 800 MB space in RAM(need to be remain opened for parallel UI design along app development )

For custom Android rom building, 8 GB is minimum requirement..

And Windows 10 / Linux occupies at least 600 MB in RAM

So I think I need 16 GB.

W
Aug 23, 2018 at 11:32 PM
If this build continuously operates at ~100% cpu usage for long durations everyday then it will result in extra load on VRMs. A mobo with better VRMs(like pro carbon) will have lesser chances of failure & longer lifetime even beyond 3 years warranty period not to mention it keeps the option open for OC in future even if you don't need it now.

I think 16 GB RAM is necessary in your case. I find 8 GB to be sufficient for gaming. Even BF1 isnt RAM limited in 64 player servers but on my mac machine which in itself is very memory efficient, it crosses 8 GB in intensive build operations.
Great build, enjoy some tick tack later with a cherry mx blue mechanical keybooard.

Two 120mm fans in front & one 120mm fan in back are preinstalled. There is option to add one more fan in front & two fans at top. Use the system & monitor temps for a few days to see if you need additional fans.

Is this quote is OK according to chennai pricing ? This don't have spec-alpha now (shop keeper will add it tomorrow)
.
MDcomputers with shipping charges (3080 ) goes to 83,500 .. And they don't bear courier damages (Kolkota -> south Tamil Nadu is a long way)
.

I compared with ITdepot .. It don't have TX550M in list. Only CX550 is available . Also it is difficult to find TX550M . Is CX550 is worth ..
.
And Kingston A400 240GB costs 5900 in ITdepo

Below is ITdepot cart ::(without ssd)
upload_2018-9-7_18-28-15.png

The cost of A400 240GB is 3500 in onlyssd . courier charges in itdepo is 1050 .

So 78895 + 4550 = 83450
.

==============================================

Local shop quote in Chennai (without Cabinet and smps is CX550)
upload_2018-9-7_18-20-55.png


Cost of Spec - Alpha must around 5000 . So 5000 +78200 is 83,200
.
.

1) Tell you suggestion about pricing please.

2) onlySSD don't show any shipping even in payment part.. Why ?

3) what is the difference between CX550 vs TX550M ?

Antec Earthwatts Gold Pro 750W PSU Review

Please explain me the cons listed here in detail ? It shows X mark in over current protection?

Seems some mistake by TH. They even tested it and it passes the OCP test. You can see it in the protection features page. Only problem is with the 5VSB rail whose OCP is set too high(210%). Not much of a problem though. The main con I see in the review is the inrush current is a bit too high. Should be lower on lower wattage units.

If you are going to buy the Antec one make sure you confirm and get the 7 year warranty one. There exists an older version of the PSU with the same name with 3 years warranty which is a highly inferior one. Otherwise it's Corsair TXM series.

Also Pls compare it with corsair spec alpha

Yes,you can buy RGB fans if you want RGB .There is only single color(White)

Corsair Spec alpha and Masterbox TD500L both are good cases so get what you like

Ooh.

Please suggest a good LED (RGB not needed) fan that is equivalent to standard pre installed cabinet fans?

I can't understand. In the images and show reel they are showcasing with white fan that means particular color fan is installed

But specs showing only rear fan pre installed.
.
This is confusing.
.
Is that white fans in images are just for sample?
W
Sep 19, 2018 at 8:42 PM
Yes,specs show actual no. of fans while images usually show how cabinet will look like after installing all the fans.

It is just AMD-XMP profile introduced as a marketing tool by MSI.Select whichever profile that works for you though most likely profile 1/default profile has more chances of working.

Profile 2 giving 2933Mhz. But I think stability is important . (not yet tested 2933Mhz in Memtest86

Hi Friends ,
Finally I assembled the Rig with all components ..After 3 years in Digit forum (yes. of course) I build my Build.

Actually I started a thread in this forum on jul 2015 , but can't assemble due to some health problems . After that I asked again in 2017 apr but can't assemble that rig due to some changes in changes in my career path

Finally I assembled my rig .

Thanks for everyone who took part in the suggestion process. It's very difficult to give 230 replies .


Thanks to all of this members who helped me

That cabinet looks great. And Congratulations!

Also, if possible, update your first post to list out the final components you put together with price. It will be a good reference for the people who come looking for configs on forum. They don't need to go through entire thread.
