    i7 6700 - 23100 H170 Pro - 9850 Corsair Vengeance DDR4 8GB - 2600 GTX 960 - 18000 Looks about right I guess. Do you think I'll need a PSU with higher wattage? Considering the GTX coming into play.

    Thanks.The i7 config looks good. The budget applies only when I'm upgrading on available Mobo. And I see that the Mobo supports only DDR4 right? Is there any chance in hell the new DDR3 i bought would be compatible? (AM3+ is backwards compatible as far as I know)

    I asked about the FX to avoid the Mobo upgrade. But if you feel this is a better option, do you think you could suggest me an i5 (preferably Skylake) + a future proof Mobo (preferably LGA 1151 compatible) and a good i7 chip?

    Thanks for the quick reply nac. My budget is sort of flexible. Regarding your reply, yes the X6 costs around 13k. I couldn't find any online but I was hoping to buy it from a normal brick and mortar store. Regarding the change of Mobo,if I'm to change it, I might as well go for Skylake i7...

    PCI & PCIE16 Issue

    Thank you. But the system boots fine without the cards in the mentioned slots. Regarding the live cd / usb, it's not possible since there is not even a BIOS check happening (read absolutely no activity if the cards are plugged in) for me to boot into another device. So you think my MoBo is...

    Fried Hard Disk?

    Sorry guys. I wasn't home for a few days. And Merry Christmas to all. About the prob. I dismantled my HDD, and hooked it up to the extra SATA cable that I had. And it worked. So the problem is with the thing/board that coverts the connection from USB to SATA. Is this thing available in the...

    Fried Hard Disk?

    Hey guys, I just bought a new PC yesterday. And a couple of hours ago, I was just hooking up my Transcend Storejet 320GB external HDD to the front USB port and it didn't work. Then I switched cables and tried the back port and now it says the device is not recognized. Do I have a fried HDD...

    Need help with Configuration

    Thanks Cilus. To be honest, I'm not exactly a fan of VIP. Saw it in Digit's Killer Rigs section, so was just wondering. I'm on the look out for FSP Saga II too. Will try the Gigabyte option now. Thanks a lot.

    Damn. Ok. In that case, can you please recommend another one other than the Corsair VX450? I'm going to try getting it online now though. Edit: Any thoughts on VIP 500W Gold? And yeah, its an Extreme Power Plus series model.

    Need help with Configuration

    I'm not exactly sure. I had to ask another guy to buy the PSU and the cabinet. He said the Corsair PSU wasn't available and he is getting me a CoolerMaster PSU rated at 450W. So I've gotta wait till he brings it around to check which model he bought. May I please know as to why you recommend...

    Thank you all for your overwhelming responses. Since it comes as a popular recommendation, I guess I'll go for the Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H. I was just confused with Jaskanwar's contradictory statement about the USB 3 feature. But I figured that what he meant to say was the absence of SATA 3...
