which Corsair PSU do u have? Model Number?

and why do u wanna buy a K series CPU along wid a cooler if u r not looking to overclock?

which monitor do have? and at what resolution wud u b gaming?

and do u have speakers, keyboard and mouse?

and when wud u b adding a GPU?
 
If you have a corsair smps then I think you need not to buy a new psu, and you don't need an aftermarket cpu cooler as sandybridge runs very cool, instead of buying the cpu cooler and new psu get a good gpu like hd6850 @9.5k and for cpu case go for nzxt gamma @2k.
 
@hades, have the kbd speakers mouse psu, can't recall model but can spend about 3k on it if needed, the cooler was suggested by a friend, if not needed will not buy, the monitor is a samsung which works as a tv aswell. Gaming is not that big a concern but I think it supports 19xx
 
c.GPU - ati 1 gb on board ram .. pci slot .... keeping it

What is this ?

Let us get this straight you will not over-clock, so why do you need a k-marked processor. Core i5 2400 -- 9.5K

Motherboard don't buy MSI because of this, read Post #39 The Sorcerer -- http://www.techenclave.com/cpu-mobo-corner/need-help-buying-processor-motherboard-under-183565-3.html#post1728227

PSU -- minimum buy a Corsair VX 450 -- 3.3K OR FSP Blue Storm 500W -- 3K

RAM -- G.Skill 1600 MHz (2*2GB) kit -- 2.9K Gskill Ripjaws 4GB DDR3 1600 Mhz 2GBX2

For cabinet forget the crappy Cooler Master eLite series and go for the NZXT Gamma (ask at SMC International OR ship from Bombay) -- 2.2K TheITWares - One Stop for all Gizmos!NZXT GAMMA Classic Series GAMA-001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - TheITWares / NZXT Gamma Review - Overclockers Club

Graphics card -- AMD HD 6850 (not aware of pricing) ~ 10K.

I hope this helps bruv.

you are not planning to overclock right?

then sandy bridge i5 2500 = Rs 10250

Msi P67A-GD55 (B3)-STEPPING (revised version) = Rs 9800

Gskill Ripjaws 4GB DDR3 1600 Mhz 2GBX2 = Rs 2900

Gskill Ripjaws 4GB DDR3 1600 Mhz 2GBX2

cabinet - IMO don't waste too much amount for a cabby...just buy one from any local shops for 750 Rs or get cm elite for Rs 1800

cpu fan -- you don't need extra cpu fan ..cause you are not planning to overclock cpu

HP dvd1260 = Rs 1050

psu = corsair vx 450 = Rs 3750

total amount ---- > Rs 29550

thanks all

how much if i go for the i7 instead

Minimum price ~ 15K, not really worth it in-fact grab the cheapest Core i5 2400 processor and you'll still feel like you have jumped into a jet.

I don't know why you're recommending a generic cabinet to OP, its really worth buying the eLite series or NZXT Gamma because these cabinets are built better, last longer and yes he can use the same cabinet for his next RIG as well. While a generic cabinet might sound cheap and accommodating in his budget the poor airflow, next to no cable management elements make them a strict no-no in my views.
 
his budget is 30k ...thats y

...and yea , like I said in my previous post he can buy a elite /gamma . I included elite cabby in my above post ...total amount including elite cabby is Rs 29550
 
thanks all,
i do not want to go for a generic cabinet
i want something with GREAT airflow and something that looks nice, i took a look at the NZXT series but didnt care for the look that much.
CM looks better IMO
 
The NZXT Gamma is a much better buy overall compared too the Cooler Master eLite series looks be damned, airflow is better, cable management is better and thus at the entry level I'll say go for the NZXT Gamma blindly here is a comparison, two reviews The NZXT Gamm NZXT Gamma « XSReviews & Cooler Master eLite 430 Cooler Master Elite 430 Black Mid Tower PC Case Review - The Cooler Master Elite 430 - Legit Reviews

In legitreviews the only case that looked anything like the eLite 430 from the NZXT stable was this -- NZXT Beta Evo Mid Tower Black Steel Computer Case - Conclusion - Legit Reviews.

Hope this helps.
 
When going for lower end cabinets, it is paramount that you forget your aesthetics for more functional purposes.

A i-ball gamer cabinet can also look cool with LED's and stuff, but NZXT Gamma is probably the only case at the price range which has cable management, provision of 6 fans and let's face it, for 2.3k it's a steal.
 
another query
Intel® Desktop Board DH67BL mother board or
Msi P67A-GD55 (B3)-STEPPING (revised version)

pro's and cons please
