Some games are CPU dependent.Don't I need overclock my CPU for those games ?
you have recommended single 8 GB stick for RAM , Aren't 2 X 4 GB sticks better due to dual channel ?

[MENTION=120490]sumonpathak[/MENTION] Thanks for replying

Shouldn't I choose i5 4690K for CPU as it is about the same price ? I am not a fan of kingston for their after sales service , I am thinking about going for intel 530 SSD.
Is there any difference in performance for ASUS Strix GTX970 and ZOTAC GTX970 ?
Also , I am not planning to overclock right away, is the stock CPU cooler enough if I want to run the CPU at stock speeds ?

I need a bigger monitor than 22'' , How about Dell S2340L ?
also, is there any difference between Corsair vengeance and Kingston HyperX Fury ?

both has the same resolution

Also OC wise the kingston clocks better.

imlokesh · Apr 9, 2015

If I add dell2340L ~ 11.5K and Intel 830 240GB SSD ~ 10K .I go way over budget but I don't want to compromise on hardware.Are there any parts where I can save some bucks without losing on performance.

OP - bigger monitor, better SSD with 10 years warranty. Don't over spend on Motherboard, it is not worth it. Also please go through this review. MSI Z97 Guard-Pro is a solid Board. (Review)
There is a performance difference of less than 5 Percent between Zotac 970 and Zotac 970 AMP editon. (Review). Check the difference between ASUS ,MSI and Zotac.
If you have a Yes bank credit card you can get a 10 percent discount on the SSD.

Thanks for replying and info Mate!!
I am also thinking the same about Motherboard.I don't need SLI support .
you have changed the Dell E Series E2414H 24 Inches monitor ,this is a TN Panel monitor , I am not sure about buying a TN panel .I am more interested in buying an IPS panel.
And how about getting a corsair 650 W power supply instead of seasonic one ? everyone is suggesting seasonic power supply .

SaiyanGoku · Apr 9, 2015

If you are considering corsair vs650 because of lower price, don't get it as it has less efficiency and is a basic model. You are better off with Antec VP650P or Corsair RM650 if Seasonic isn't preferred by you.

Ok ..will keep this in mind while buying stuff.
I want to buy a better keyboard than K120 ,but I have no idea to see how to differentiate between keyboards other than mechanical keyboards which are out of my budget. I want a backlit keyboard with palm-rest. can you please suggest any good one for about 3 K ?

sumonpathak · Apr 9, 2015

[MENTION=140678]iamlokesh[/MENTION] what exactly is your priority here?
getting a proper overclockable setup or getting a setup with big(size wise) display + shiny SSD?
if its the first then i suggest you stick with the Ranger since the alternative is not at all recommended for overclocking anything above an pentium unlocked processor since the voltage regulation circuitry is not upto the mark.(The VRM controller and components are sub par as is the case with all lower end MSI boards)
Also regarding the Dell E2414H display; its a TN panel based display whereas the S2240L is an IPS panel based display which will offer a better color reproduction/accuracy and better viewing angles(check this video : *youtu.be/BG7XNwbUYEM , the left one is IPS) i really don't see any reason of choosing the E2414H over the S2240L just for an inch which will not even result into a bigger screen estate(resolution wise since both are 1080P monitors).
As regards to the SSD, the 850 Pro will not help in any way getting in real world workloads like normal PC stuff or gaming.(Saying this after testing the 840 Pro,Kingston HyperX 3K,Adata SP 920).
So i would suggest to put ur investments mainly on the main parts that is CPU+Motherboard+GPU+Memory+PSU .

As regards to the power supply stay away form the VS or any low end lineup.

You can go for Antec VP650P - 4500 (Snapdeal)
or
Corsair CS650M - 6800 (Flipkart)

[MENTION=120490]sumonpathak[/MENTION] Thanks for your reply mate.
I am getting what you are saying.I am sure about buying a i5 4690K ,MSI GTX 970 OC edition , 2 X 4GB RAM and a good PSU .
Only thing I am unsure is the Motherboard.I will do a bit more research for the motherboard.
About the monitor , I want to purchase IPS panel monitors instead of TN panel for the same reasons as You told.

if u want to OC, a good motherboard is a must.
Think of it as a chassis and engine of a car..unless its good u cannot race it.
