First of I have chosen this [MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3)] because this is a Gen 3 motherboard and I will buy Gen3 GPU when they are launched in India.Maybe Jan-Feb 2012.Ok.So please give prices for the above configuration as soon as possible.Mind keep it under 60k.ok.

Don't fooled by higher specs.Graphic cards are not even utilizing PCIe 2.0 8x fully, so forget about pcie3.0.
Gen3 board is just marketing gimmicks

^^if the op wants to spent more money then its his decision....some where down the road if he want to get ivy bridge then he will save money on the mobo side having gen3 board.
Still now we cannot predict the outcome of SI and Kepler with gen3 then we should atleast reserve our opinion on gen3 b/w.

yup, it is his decision. But putting facts into perspective is a member's duty. :)

I must tell you.....no one....no one of you who has bought i5-2500k now is going to replace it with Ivy Bridge in March or anytime soon - atleast 2 years I'll say.

And, the graphic cards aren't going to utilize PCI 2.0 X8 fully in the next two-four years again. They aren't even utilizing PCIe 1.0 X16 fully atm. :p

This sort of "future proofing" is a placebo effect - practically meaningless. Not a bad thing though. ;) My ₹ 0.02. :)

I am with Ico here, no point of getting a Gen 3 motherboard by spending 3K to 5K extra. And another thing about PCI-E gen3 is even if the upcoming GPUs can take the bandwidth advantage of the PCI-E Gen3, there won't be any games to offer that much bandwidth to take advantage of that. Remember, Hardware advancement is actually lot ahead of software advancement.

^^ This!!!
Some users might be tempted to go with those gen3 motherboards but think about the quote of ico before buying it. And even if anyone replace their 2500K with some other processor after 2 years one don't know know whether they will be based on LGA1155 socket or not, as Intel changes their socket with every release. So, buying a gen3 motherboard, now, is nothing but a waste. Think about it.

Addition: config of tenida is good, which also gives OP the option to add one more 4GB ripjawsX module if OP can extend his budget by 1.3K more. :thumbs:

Get the Ripjaw X from Gskill. The bigger heatsink in Vengeance rams is known to cause installation problems while installing a big CPU cooler. In most the cases it was not possible to insert it in the 1st Ram slot near the CPU when a CPU cooler is installed. Also the price quoted is high. 2X4GB of Vengeance should be available at not more than 3.3K and you will get Ripjaw 2X4GB within 3K.

The choice of Cabinet is also not that good. Look gor the NZXT Tempest Evo model.

ASROCK Z68 EXTREME3 GEN3
Is it a local price at your area or Online price?

No more listed, hopefully they don't have stock.

Sorry for the confusion. Last time I checked there, they had evo in their stock. :-(

But as OP is from hyderabad, I highly doubt over the possibility that MD sells their component outside WB. (I've no idea. Do they? )
