Any reason for changing mobo. Is the asus one not good?
He reply fast so usually miss the requirements mentioned in previous posts.Your final specs are good.

That's fine then.Just goes on to show that there is no best card for everyone but good card for someone.

You can do both,keep 2 lakh as min balance as well as spend 1lakh online per year to get 10k cashback,so this card is good for you.But if someone can not keep 2 lakh as min balance even if online spending is more than 1 lakh per year or someone who can keep 2 lakh min balance but doesn't spend much online then this card is not good for such person.

P.S.you mentioned earlier getting 20k cashback(10% of 2lakh) but this card has 10k max cashback limit per year,do you mean in a joint acct each card get its own separate cashback limit(I thought just like in CC the limit is shared as joint acct card is kinda similar to addon card).

No the card cost is Rs 750 per year for each card if you do not maintain priority account(Just 10k normal acc).It is linked to card not account.even if you leave priority you can get cashback which I may do down the line.As i told before I dont wanna keep 2 lakhs it but had to open locker(which the axis guys were insisting).

Should I wait for the ryzen 300 series which will launch within few weeks
It won't launch in a few weeks, but certainly wait for today's presentation by AMD @ CES.

We'll then know what to expect.

This is a good ram but the main issue is gskill rma,worst case scenario you may have to wait months.
Corsair RAM RMA in Mumbai : IndianGaming
I have RMA’d my GSkill Ram through PrimeABGB and they took nearly 6 months . But that was because it had to goto Taiwan and then prime had some problem getting it back from there.

If you want rgb you can get this,at least adata has official service centres in India.

Which mobo & cpu?
ryzen 7 2700x-
Asus ROG CROSSHAIR VII HERO-

already got Rs 2500 cashback on my axis bank account(got message it will get credited in 7 days).:emoji_grin::emoji_grin::emoji_grin:

btw i have to apply for netbanking for second holder where i think i can get extra 2500 cashback.If it is possible then it will be great.:2subs::2subs::2subs:

People will want to know why i choose amd over intel after owning intel system for 9+ years?

First I thought of buying intel as I had the budget then I thought why i had come to this forum in the first place,BCOZ my MB is creating problems,my i7 920 can still run all games at 1080p without any problems .motherboard for my socket is obsolete which is the main problem.I didn't even overclock it thinking maybe when required I will. Intel has become money hungry it changes socket every 2 years.I want my PC to run for 10 years I may upgrade GPU,ram but thats it, i am not changing my cpu if mobo has problems then change mobo.

I think amd will win many fans if they can keep their promise am4 socket support till 2020.

I am just a small time trader.Usually pick 400-500 shares in some good cheap shares(~100-200 or less) & wait for few weeks to earn 2-3k profit. Why index MF though,why not large cap?Also it is better to invest via SIP instead of lump sum to take advantage of variations in stock market(when mkt is down same amount will fetch you more units of MF so over time SIP will result in more units/shares in MF instead of lumpsum).
