Which i7 are you planning to buy is it X58 or Sandybridge ???

Decide the config first...

Regarding the Shop's there are lot of Shop in bangalore.

1. SP Road - Ankit, Sangam, Golcha & metro.

2. Binary World in Indranagar.

3. Computer Warehouse in MG Road.

4. Computer Mall, Computer World & Multiple in Koramangala.

These above shops were quite reliable to me from last 3 years.

Are you sure you even need to upgrade your processor and motherboard? It would be better if you just got a new graphics card and monitor since your current processor is already pretty powerful and should suffice for your usage.

Try getting these..

Core i5 2500K @ 10.8K
Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 @ 9.5K
Corsair /GSkill 4gb kit 1600mhz @2.5k

NZXT gamma @ 2K
Corsair GS 600W @ 4k
APC 800VA @2.8K
Altec Lansing VS2621 @ 1.6K

Regarding selling....

Post the config.

Or Find a n00b & sell it off locally or post it in sites like OLX, Sulekha & even in TDF we have a Bazaar section...

Got to follow few set of rules...Keep reading them before posting or get :ban:

core i5 is sufficient!

and get another 1TB HDD later. first concentrate on performance and expensive components that cant be upgraded easily.

Yes. Looking at your current pc config it is very good config i think you should stick with it & wait for Sandy Bridge E Processor IN Quarter 4 2011

okay i will wait. dude today i have plan to upgrade the cabinate, coolers, smps

( plan to change evrything with coolermaster pro)

sathish2k8 said:

which memory you using? manufacturer and model?

no need to upgrade everything.

get these -

that memory is designed for use with all DDR3 motherboards with two or three memory channels
Corsair Memory â€” 4GB DDR3 Memory (CMV4GX3M1A1333C9)

that gpu is powerful and will allow you to play everything at highest settings and is futureproof.

i suggested a TX850 V2 as it will remove the future upgrade tension and is well within your budget.

sathish2k8 said:

why everything Coolermaster? get those things which we all are suggesting.

cabinet go for
NZXT M59 @ 3.5k or
CM 690 II pure edition @ 5k or
CM 690 advanced II @ 5.5k

for PSU go for
Corsair VX 550W @ 4.5k
Seasonic SII 520W @ 4k
Corsair GS 600W @ 4k

T

I would suggest get

2GB RAM to work as dual channel; if you have single 2GB stick. Else get 2x2GB stick.
Sapphire Radeon HD6870 1GB @ 11400
CM elit430 @2500
Corsair GS600 @ 4000
BenQ G2222HDL @ 8100

Setup will be more than enough to serve till SB-E hit the market. No need to get highend component for now IMO cause by that time price will decrease and more highend product will hit the market.

cooler master pro is good but scarcely available
the PSUs i listed are equally good too
check the reviews if you want

buying a full doesn't mean that its not require to buy a separate cpu cooler
cpu cooler will do its designated work
full tower do have a better airflow
but they are designed so as to provide space for large components
