11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Need to attach my Sony 5.1 channel speakers . So would be needing a sound card(below 6k)

Would I be needing 2 PCI slots then? One for Sound card and the other for the graphic card?
If so then please suggest the MB as H81-MS1 has only 1 PCI slot if I'm not wrong.

Would be using this build for long..so something a bit future proof would be great.

Also if I wanna add an SSD, what would be required in addition? Would it require some different hardware?Please suggest.

And finally... a Big thanks in advance to all...
You guys r doing a GREAT job helping out people like me for getting the best suggestions available...:-o
CHEERS!!

As for the Sound Card is concerned you will get Realtek Audio which is far more better along with the Motherboard itself.So go with it.OK.

have already got 5.1 channel speakers. So i require the sound card to harness its true sound.
Also GIGABYTE GA-H81M-S1 has only one PCI slot right?

Really don't think you need a Sound Card. People tend to underestimate the capability of their PC Onboard audio card, and overestimate the quality of the speakers they own, and the purpose of using the speakers.

Research well and rethink your decision ot get a sound card, you can spend the money to get a well balanced PC with decent components.

Because he want to use 2nd slot for his sound card. In 25k OP wants an SSD and Sound Card along with normal config, How foolish?
Nowadays nobody using sound cards as inbuilt ones are much better. Its better OP go with the Config I suggested. What is the use of asking for help here in TDF by OP if he does not listen to us...

@bssunilreddy If i dint want the feedback from you guys, then i wouldn't have posted in the first place. It is because of the reason that I dunno about some aspects, I have brought it here. If everyone was a pro in all dis, this forum would have ceased to exist. Hence its a request, if you're not willing to help, at least let others help.No offence mate, I do not know, thats the reason Im asking my doubts

I know you are quite looking forward to a sound card, but trust me on this, those speakers will not benefit much from the sound card.
Having said that, if you still want, go ahead, it is not like it doesn't make a difference.

Also those h81 gigabyte motherboards have 1 pcie x16 and atleast 1 pcie x1 slot. Sound card uses the x1 slot and gpu the x16 slot, so those motherboards are more than sufficient

Question - When will be your next upgrade ?

@hitesh i got my first pc in 2003,since then, I pretty much have the same machine except when i upgraded the DDR1 RAM. Since the past few years, i have been playing games and editing videos and stuff using my lappy...but now i need a good pc to continue doing the same in a better way.
Next update should be in 4-5 years(hopefully earlier) or as per any faults.
Now that you have said so, i can invest the amount of sound card into something better den...right?:mrgreen:

Now I asked that because if it was short period, say like 6-9 months, I would have recommend an i3 with a low end gpu. But here you'll upgrade atleast after 4 years, in which case it is better to go with a Pentium + a better gpu. Many members will disagree with this but trust me (again lol) you'll get better fps with this setup

Here is my suggestion

Pentium 3.5k
gtx 750ti 9.5k
cabby 1k
ssd 850 evo 120gb 4.5k
gigabyte h81m-s 3.3k
cx 430 3k
1tb hd 3.5k
kingston 4gb ram 1.7k

total - 29k

Even though this already exceeds your budget, getting an i3 is worth it. Total would be 34k

i guess the best i can do in this case that increase my budget by 5k or so and then take a better build. I guess that should suffice.
