I didnt find any difference in price between online and lamington road. I had a bad experience purchasing from lamington road.
I guess snapdeal is a good site for making online purchase.

i almost ordered the i5 3470 but for some reasons did not go ahead. was thinking of waiting for Haswell. but it ain't worth the wait. get it while you can with the extra 6% off and also you can get the EMI without any additional charge if you have an eligible Credit Card :)
the i5 3470 is not out of stock :(

also if you are okay with the Corsair Value Series RAM, get it from flipkart quickly as the same are being sold at Lamington for 1950~2000

I ordered seasonic sII 520 power supply,ripjawsx ram and transcend 25h3p harddisk from snapdeal. Now the only thing remaining is processor. I am confused between i5 3550k and i7 3770k. i73770k it seems runs a bit cooler than i5. I would also be considering water cooling in the future. So which processor is best for me?

Get i5 3550K and I don't think i7 3770K runs cooler than the i5; in fact it is the opposite.

My suggestion is you go for the i5 3550K. There is not a lot of difference in performance between these processors, and you'll also save money that can be used for something better in the future. Since you're going for water cooling anyways, heating shouldn't even be a concern, but to be honest, it's hard to believe that i5 heats more than i7.

PS I suggest you buy from mdcomputers.in. Heard it's more reliable.
