There's no need of 500w psu for op's current config,430w psu will suffice and no need to fancy the CM V6 cooler cause op isn't[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif] gonna oc his rig and V6 performance is poor.[/font]Corsair or gskill ram are enough,no need to go for ocz and waste 500 or more rs.

CPU cooler : CM 212 EVO Rs - 2,000

PSU : seasonic S12ii 430W as said by @thegatekeeper Rs - 2,700

Corsair Value Select 1333 Mhz 4x2 Rs - 2,500
 
^^ my pitch for the same --

Seasonic S12II 520W / 430W ~ 3400/- OR 2600/- [better than the Corsair CX 500W SMPS you'll get in the same price band]

G.Skill RIPJAWS OR Corsair XMS3 1600MHz 4GB x 2 ~ 3200/-

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO OR Cooler Master Hyper TX3 ~ 2100/- OR 1300/- [note that the Hyper TX3 has a smaller fan, can become noisier at higher fan speeds]

with the Seasonic SMPS you'll be able to add a powerful graphics card [upto a GTX 560Ti OR HD 6950 2GB], later down the line but then your CPU will be a bottleneck.

The Cooler Master V6 GT is a good cooler -- http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/cooler_master_v6gt/4.htm

Pros:

  • Ultra high performance
  • Appealing enthusiast style looks
  • Many unique improvements to airflow and heat transfer

Cons:

  • Cost
  • Large and may get in the way of memory for some motherboards

, but charges a premium for the design components and flashy LED lighting, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO performs well -- http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/cm_hyper212_evo/4.htm,

Pros:

  • Great idle temperatures
  • Easy and simple to install
  • Fan snaps in and out of place - no need to mess with clumsy wire clips
  • Lightweight (less stress on motherboard)
  • Includes hardware to attach an additional fan
  • Price

Cons:

  • None
Click to expand...

looks no-nonsense and is cheaper by ~2000/-, so it is a better buy for me. The only problem with the Hyper 212 EVO is that due to its light-weight design it can't cool a heavily over-clocked PC, but your CPU + motherboard combo locks out chances of that.

^^ Read the numbers for your self and decide.

Hope this helps #abhisek9089, Cheers!!
 
so as per the suggestion should I buy the following:

1.G.Skill RIPJAWS or Corsair 1333

2.Cooler master Hyper 212 evo

3.Seasonic S12II 520W or Corsair 500w (I want to buy 500 or 500+ because in furture when I add more gpu and other item)

4.Is there any why to make my existing gpu to convert it to 3d gaming.

G.Skill RIPJAWS OR Corsair XMS3 1333MHz / 1600MHz [the 1600MHz modules are more common these days, the 1333MHz modules are standard ValueRAM] ~1200/- [per 4GB stick for 1333MHz] and ~1700/- [for performance RAM]

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO ~2100/- [this has superseded the earlier Hyper 212+ and replaced the N520 and N620 models in the market, it has an elder sibling the Hyper 612 PWM -- http://www.hardwares...ler-Review/1398 which I've not seen till now in the market ]

Seasonic S12II 520W [better efficiency and not more expensive compared to the mediocre Corsair CX500] ~3500/-

You cannot make your PC run 3D games, for that you'll need to overhaul your graphics card to atleast GTX 560Ti standard and you'll have to by nVidia 3D ready compatible monitor + glasses.

Hope this resolves your queries #abhisek9089. Cheers!!
 
ok i will be buying the fowolling:

1. Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

^^ #abhisek9089 Sire, your motherboard supports only single-GPU so you are a bit compromised on that one, you'll need to increase your budget OR overhaul your system, completely.

This is your motherboard RIGHT?!

Either-ways your CPU is too anaemic to fully exploit a dual-GPU solution, even if it were a possibility.

Get Corsair ValueRAM modules 4GB 1333MHz retails ~1100/- mark. Hope this answers your queries, Cheers!!
 
yes this is my motherboard but i cannot change the board right now as I have bought the PC last year only and thank you ALPHA17 for the help.....
