dont go for z68 mobo unless u buy a 'k' serise cpu. Do one thing, go for h67 mobo+2400 and spend that extra money on a good psu.

Hey guys sorry to mention about graphic card

of course i do planned to buy a graphic card,I am going to buy ATI HD6670 1GB GDDR5 cideo card...

if zebronics 450w gold series psu is not capable of withholding power supply then please suggest any good psu around Rs 2000/- :lol:

is there any problems in my system configuration plz correct them...since this is the first time i am going to use pc,i have been used to laptops only.

^^To be frank, your configuration is not at all balanced for a gaming rig.
Better go for this one.

Core i5 2400
Intel DH67CL (B3)
Radeon HD6850
FSP Saga II 500w/Corsair CX430v2
Seagate 1TB
CM Elite 311
HP dvd1260i

^^Another feature rich board is MSI H67MA-E35 (B3).

CM Elite 335 is a mini tower case. The Elite 311 which is cheaper is a mid-tower & has cable management feature unlike the 335.

what exactly is the difference between mini tower and mid tower???

here in both cases they are supporting my requirements.like ATX,long graphic cards,if this is the case then smaller is better having good ventillation too(CM elite 335) then that(CM elite 311)

their size thats it.because of their larger size you can work inside your cabby easily and you will be able to use medium size coolers ....easily.I will suggest you to go for RIGOD's config but i don't know if that cx430 will be able to handle that 6850 otherwise it is a well balanced rig.

Difference between a Mini and Mid is same as what Dictionary says. Mini is Smaller :)

Depending upon need you may opt. Mini are preferred if You are not into SLI /CF, Water Cooling & Hard Overclock and want tidy Cabinet. Also usually has lesser slots for HDDs etc than Mid but they are normally sufficient for average user.

Mid Tower is better for reasons specified above. There is very less scope for adding extra fans (Other than usual 2) on a Mini which is a must SLI/ CF Configs.

what about mobo..? should i go for msi H67MA or I stick to intel DH67CL...I prefer to have a good Bios and may be I am planning to overclock it few months later.
Is it true sandy bridge prices will drop after release of Ivy bridge ones.if that is the case i can wait for one more month...to consider buying them with few changes in cpu may be I5-2500.
if possible give suggestions to my another thread *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/shopping/155549-pc-hardware-buying-shops-bangalore-chennai.html

you'll have problem with the motherboard & cables. there will be hardly any space left to dump cables. motherboard will touch the bottom of the cabinet.

I will suggest you to go for RIGOD's config but i don't know if that cx430 will be able to handle that 6850 otherwise it is a well balanced rig.

will handle easily. HD6850 is not that power hungry.

regarding psu...the one that you suggested are good but can i get one having same performance at low price

that is the minimum you can get.you atleast need 400-430w power and only those fsp and corsair can give that at the cheapest price maintaining quality.so don't go below that.

forget about OCing with those mobos and cpu and to Oc a SB/IB cpu you need to have a K series cpu anyway with z68/z77/p67/z79 mobo.
