What is the cheapest Z68 board atm apart from Biostar TZ68K+. My budget for the mobo is 8k .I was thinking of going with i5 2500k + any z68 board with the MSI N560GTX because later down the line i can overclock the CPU and get more juice out of it.
Another alternative would be the i5 2400 + any H67 or H77 Mobo along with 7850 but zero overclocking potential.
I Plan on keeping this PC for next 3-4 Years. Please give your opinion asap.
Also suggest any 8GB Ram Kits for the i5 2500K And the i5 2400.

Peace.

Core i5 2400 @ 10.5K
Intel DH67CL-B3 @ 5.6K
G-skill RipjawX 4GB X 2 1600 MHz DDR3 Ram @ 3.15K
Gigabyte HD 7850 2 GB GDDR5 @ 16K
Corsair CX 430 V2 @ 2.2K

Total 37.45K. This configuration will let you all the current games, including the mentioned one with high details at your 21" display, assuming it is a Full HD (1920 X 1080) Display.

Even though 7850 consumes less power, I think atleast a CX500V2 should be bought for a HD 7850.

Why so? Don't we recommend CX 430 V2 for a HD 6850 and that time you guys comment that it is fine. Check the power consumption of HD 7850, it is actually lesser than HD 6850, even at full load. So a CX 430 V2 is perfectly okay.

Only if OP wants to overclock the GPU by a large margin then CX 500 V2 can be considered.

Thanks for the Input guys. But i'm also looking towards the i5 2500k alternative.
Which is a good Z68 Board at 8k. I've seen some ASRock mobo's but they seem to have disappeared from the market.
