Considering you are not going to overclock...

Component | Make | Price Processor |Intel Core i5 2400|9500
Motherboard |Intel DH67VR-B3|4500
RAM |Corsair CMV4GX3M1A1333C9 4GB|2000
Case |NZXT GAMMA|2000
| Total |18000

If planning to OC then get the below...

Component | Make | Price Processor |Intel Core i5 2500k|10500
Motherboard |Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3|9500
RAM |G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-4GBXL|2500
Case |NZXT GAMMA or Cm RC430|2000 - 2500
| Total |24500 - 25000

But not sure whether your PSU can handle if you OC. - Let other reply..

Not going to overclock.. but would definitely look for K series.

 

[d3p]

why K Series ????.........any special reasons ?????

 

[ashis_lakra]

ok, leave K series.. i dont want to upgrade my PSU nor i am going to add any extra HDD..

Do u think H61 mobo will suffice Core i5 2400 ?

Yes Pretty much but they are absolute low end. With in 25k you can get a good Z68 with USB 3, SATA 6 gbps and CF options.

 

[ashis_lakra]

i was short on cash.. so went only for Core i5 2500k with H61 mobo and 4GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 Ram from theitwares.com...

not planning to overclock with my PSU, since H61 doesnt support overclocking... but if i feel to do so,, would buy a Z68 mobo after 6-7 months..

no more upgrade from me..

I am saving up for a good Z68 with 1600 MHz DDR3 Kit. Short by 2-3k still

BTW which motherboard, you have finilised up ??

If you are not going to OC then 1333Mhz is best bet for the normal use...
