n you are going to run this system without a psu right?
 
Re: Im Going for this Config without LCD ..Is it good for mind-end gaming and Bluray

Few Changes you may want to consider:
1) There is no point in buying a K series processor with H67 chipset, chane the mobo to P67 chipset.
2) go for corsair or gskill rams as they are available at the same price
3) Consider Antec DF-30/35 instead of Guardian or buy Tempest Evo if you want NZXT
4) Not sure of NZXT PSU's but if your overall budget is 5000 for cabinet+PSU , buy NZXT Gamma + Corsair VX450/VX550 or Seasonic 520W PSU.

Both are photoshopped company pics ..but still design of guardian is what gaming PC should be with Blur/Orange color choice and temp indicator.

Config looks good,but case liking differ from person to person,and the guardian has space for 4 hard drives(just notifying if you need more),and the 5670 should be of 1gb ram,if its priced this high.

Why isn't there any point in getting a k series chip with the h67 board?
 
Re: Im Going for this Config without LCD ..Is it good for mind-end gaming and Bluray

Ya, if u r getting a h67 board, i5 2500k would ne useless, u could save money by getting i5 2500 and use the rest to buy a better GPU...
Go for 5770 or if 2nd hand is ok, people are selling 5850 at 8k in TE market, and its a beast when compared to 5670 or even 5770...

K series is meant for overclocking which can only be achieved by using a P67 motherboard.. He would get the same performance out of an i5 2500 with an H67 motherboard as he would with an i5 2500k with an H67 motherboard since he wont be able to overclock it anyways.

you can't overclock the CPU with H67 chipset and hence there is no point in getting the k series cpu.

OP,

Regarding cases have you seen any of the cases in person, if not go and check them in person because the photos don't do justice. I had seen Guardian and Tempest in person before taking the decision and Guardian felt too plasticy whereas Tempest had a decent feel and it was great combination of features+looks.

Second thing my first preference was features, cooling capability and not just looks.

@Op

You said you will get 750 watt psu with the cabinet. And the cabinet costs 5k. FYI, a decent psu itself of 750 watts costs 7k+. Now can you understand what crap you will get with your cabby? Ditch the idea of using that psu. Go for a brand like Corsair/Seasonic/Antec/Tagan/Silverstone and you will never regret for your decision. You must understand that psu is the heart of any system and if you get a bad heart, the whole system will fall in no time.

Re: Im Going for this Config without LCD ..Is it good for mind-end gaming and Bluray

For Cabinet part ANTEC has a far superior build quality then the rest mention . PSU SeaSonic 750JS is for 5.5k thats the cheapest reliable and good PSU in 750W , am using it now and its performing very good and its silent. But considering low budget you might be better off with a VX550 as it has a good overhead :) . And either go for P67 chipset or i5 2500 ... You will save some cash this way ,as previously mentioned . Dont know about high end cabinets of iBall or Zebronics but if you have the budget then try avoiding it . CoolerMaster Elite 430 or Lian-Li K56 would be a better buy, yeah you can consider the NZXT Gamma if you want a PSU+cabby combo in 5-6k.

All the cabinets you recommend already we know ..and they have got the worst looks ..big flop. To attract my girlfriends ..looks matter first ..
1. Looks

2. Build Quality and modern

3. Features

This may sound rude and the Mods may delete it but if you want a good cabinet, leave your girlfriend(s) out of the equation. If you are so desperate to woo your girlfriend(s) best is buy a el-cheapo PSU fit it in a cabinet with all your hardware over-clock your components and let the system catch fire... get some popcorn and enjoy the fireworks.

Your desperation not withstanding, I'll recommend you to get the NZXT Tempest EVO, period simply for its features and absolute airflow superiority. NZXT Tempest EVO Review - Page 1/6 | techPowerUp
