Change the following:-

1. SMPS to Corsair GS600.
2. Speakers to Logitech Z313

And any particular reason to go for that graphics card? Otherwise you may look for Radeon 6850/6870.

Y r u gettin a P67 mobo for a non-k proccy.?

 

[nilgtx260]

go for MSI GTX 460 Hawk or MSI HD 6850 Cyclone Power Edition or any reference HD 6870.

No need to expense so much on a p67 mobo where you are only getting a non K processor, so better get a h67 mobo like Gigabyte GA-H67MA-UD2H Rs. 7K & get a Corsair VX 550 & HD 6870

Awesome speaker man!! Just read the review and saw unboxing of it. Done. How much price difference in CX and GS 600?

For the graphics card, I did consider xfx HD 6850 which costs approx 11k, Out of budget already with UPS I'm going to buy but you would go with MSI over sapphire wouldn't you?!

P67 motherboards aren't just for k processors correct? Since I may be OC'ing after a year or two I'm going with this particular mobo

 

[MegaMind]

^^U hav to get 2500k if u r OCing..

How much price difference in CX and GS 600?

GS600 - 4K

Sapphire 6850 - 9.5K

Core i5-2400 Overclocks 800-900MHz. What are you saying??

Ok so this should be fine.
Intel Core i5-2400 ----------------9500
ASUS P8P67 B3-------------------10500
MSI 460 GTX CYCLONE------------10000
CORSAIR XMS3 2x2GB-------------2300
Western Digital Green 1TB---------2500
LG LED E2040T--------------------6000
LG DVD Writer --------------------900
Corsair PSU GS600----------------4000
Cooler Master Elite 430------------2500
Microsoft keyboard mouse---------700
Logitech Speaker Z313------------1500
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus-------1800

TOTAL---------------------------52200

And a UPS??

 

[MegaMind]

IMO spending 20K on P67+non k proccy is not vfm...
Either get,
1. 2500K+MSI P67A GD55 ~ 20K
OR
2. 2400+Intel DH67BL ~ 15K

2400 has locked multiplier, yes it will oc but the 2500k can hit 5.8Ghz theoretically over 4Ghz max of 2400.

Config is nice, my 2c:

1. Drop the P67 and get a H67 if you plan to use the 2400, or get the P67 if you get a k proccy with it as well.

2. Drop the GTX460 cyclone, try to get the 6870, if you prefer nVidia then try to get the newly launched gtx560(not the ti model).

3. WD green had issues and also a slow hdd, not recommended for OS use, only for pure storage, so get the WD blue or Seagate 1TB.

 

[nilgtx260]

^^ that's what I already advised

 

[piedpiper]

Aaah!! I liked P8P67. Procy and mobo are one time investment, you don't often change them not at least for 2-3 years so i went for P67. Anyway I will think about it, I still have a month to change my mind.

 

[ssengupta]

Then also get the 2500k instead of 2400.

 

[Cilus]

I think, the motherboard price can be reduced by 1K by going for the MSI P67A-GD55, available @ 9.4K in SMC. This motherboard offers all the features of a good P67 mobo in a very less price. It has support for both SLI and CF, 4 SATA III, 4 USB 3.0 ports.

 

[vkattunga]

hey
as said

megamind

2. 2400+Intel DH67BL ~ 15K

How about this?
I will go with Asus P8P67 and would degrade my Card to xfx HD 5770. This way i can save few

bucks for the board
Sorry for this, I am not disregarding anyone here but its just that I'm in love with the Asus. This board is just perfect. Its not like I am blindly going with it, I have read reviews everywhere in fact more than I should be studying for the exam. My friend recently bought a 9500GT 1GB card which runs everything smoothly @ 900 resolution. There isn't a lot directx11 game coming out. Battlefield doest support dx10 so the game developers cannot rule out the 10 version I suppose. Even if 5770 supports for 2 years would be more than enough.
