Here is my suggestion:-

Core i7 2600K @ 15.9K
Noctua NH-U12P-SE2 @ 3.8K
MSI Z68-GD65 @ 11K
Gskill F3-16000CL9D 2 X 4 GB 1600 MHz CL9 @ 4.8K
Seagate 7200.12 1 TB SATA @ 2.7K
CM 690 II Advanced @ 4.9K
Corsair TX 850 V2 @ 6.8K

Total 49.9K. I think this config will serve you well in long run. Also added a high end PSU so that adding new components down the line can be handled. Cooler is given for overclocking, when you will ready for it. You can omit it for now.

1+....but instead of 850v2 get Glacialtech 950AA, which is modular with 80Plus at same price..

 

[vickybat]

^^ Yes but comes with only 2 years of warranty. Psu is rock solid, no doubt but the warranty might detract many buyers.

850-v2 seems to be the safest bet considering it as a seasonic build with japanese caps, 80+ bronze , and a whooping 5 years warranty. The glacialtech too has all these but lacks severely in warranty.

 

[d3p]

@Vicky: The more the warranty with these Good PSU's the more the headache to the user. Specially with dust & maintenance. Just another way of looking at the PSU warranty.

But 850v2 is non modular & glacialtech is modular, which will be clean & tidy while rigging up the config.

 

[masterkd]

Thanks Cilus
but i need ups, keyboard, mouse, mouse pad within this budget. So i guess i need to settle with i5 2500k and buy a cooler later.

 

[Cilus]

Even my pick is the Glacialtech 950AA as it is even better than the TX 950. But it comes with only 2 Yrs of warranty and not locally available in Kolkata.

Corsair TX 850V2 has 5 yrs of warranty and Corsair has very good service in Kolkata. So recommended it.

masterkd, then here is the modified config for you:-

Core i5 2500K @ 11K
MSI Z68-GD55-B3 @ 8.7K (Support both SLI & Crossfire)
Gskill F3-16000CL9D 2 X 4 GB 1600 MHz CL9 @ 4.8K
Seagate 7200.12 1 TB SATA @ 2.7K
CM 690 II Advanced @ 4.9K
Corsair TX 850 V2 @ 6.8K
Razer Cyclosa Gaming Bundle @ 2.1K
Razer Goliathus Fragged Mouse Pad Small @ 0.5K
APC 1.1KVA Black @ 4.3K

Total 45.8K. Now I guess you can accomodate cooler too or go for Core i7 2600K.

Yes NZXT tempest looks uber cool but its not available in Kolkata.Also for buying online you have fill Form 50 which is very hassle-taking task.

[Jaskanwar Singh]

haf features removable hdd cage for large gpus and includes two 200mm fans and two front usb 3.0 ports while 690 features removable hdd cage for bottom radiator mount and supports upto 10 fans.

you can also try -
Lian Li Lancool K58W @ 4.2k. very vfm case.

 

[Cilus]

One update from MSI Kolkata, the GD55 mobo is priced little over 9K. Bargain a little to decrease the price.
