If you want, change PSU by Corsair TX850 V2 @7300/-

2x4GB Gskill RipjawsX 1600MHz @ 3.2k
Noctua NH-D14 @ 4.9k

^C14 will be better.

C14 have ridiculous design IMO. (could result in bad airflow & thus bad cooling)
NH-U12P SE2 have more conventional design and also available @ 4K.

Hi Guys,

No one suggested about the CM HAF X cabinet,
I will add 2GF cards later, probably NVIDIA(SLI mode) so a PSU to support that.
I already have SATA DVD burner from SONY.

Thanks all for your valuable suggestions.....

which card will you get?

Probably GTX 580 or 570 as per the budget at that time...

HAF-X, IMO isn't worth its 14k price tag.

BTW, d6bmg & Jaskanwar, I dont think corsair cabinet is available in Delhi. I may be wrong but I am unable to find any shop which sells cabinets other than CM in New Delhi. Stupid me. Its on SMC.
