Am planning to buy the following components -

intel core i5 2500k
asus maximus IV gene-z
corsair xms3 12800 2gb*2
cooler master elite 310 cabinet

I already have a cooler master HX-450 PSU,XFX ATI 5750,and a seagate barracuda 250gb

Any suggestions for this config?

Thanks:)

and don't get XMS3 with k series config. It has some issue. Get Vengence or G Skill.

If you want suggestion from us then specify your budget and the components to be purchased first. Then only we can suggest better config.

Replace Xms3 with this Gskill 4GB Gskill Ripjaws 1600Mhz DDR3 4GB X 1

For Case Go With Zebronics Bijli w/o SMPS @ 1K

My budget is 30k to 32k,I think the components I mentioned fits in that budget.I want to know if any of the components have better alternatives at the same price range

@nilgtx260 and @Geek-With-Lens,thanks a lot for the valuable suggestions.
Special thanks to Geek-With-Lens,he has helped me a lot for the past week:D

CM 430 costs 1k more than cm 310,is it worth it?

Well, then my suggestion is to get a better cabinet like NZXT Gamma @ 2K or CM Elite 430 with Transparent side panel @ 2.5K
