well, you can easily get a Sandy Bridge config. nVidia has anyways locked SLI for current AMD chipsets. Not so for Bulldozer chipsets but Bulldozer is still quite far away.

now.

Intel Core i5-2500k @ 10,800
Asus P8P67 Pro @ 12,600
2*2GB 1600Mhz Gskill Ripjaws kit @ 2400

Get everything from SMC.

yup, I read you have no plans of overclocking but you have sufficient budget. But why do you only want to use these new components only for 2 years? Seems weird to me if I look at the budget you have.

^^ because applying for MS Fall 2012

Thanks for the config, i was reading similar posts. Seems i5-2500k is the best thing out now.

I was just wondering if I will be able to use quicksync too simultaneously while graphics card installed ? I guess the mobo should be Z series ?

How is this Z series mobo, P8Z68-V ( 12450/- ) is available here currently
For MAXIMUS IV GENE-Z ( 11950/- ) I'll have to wait till 21 june.

What do you guys say ? Should I wait for Maximus Gene Z ? or go with the P8Z68-V. Any caveats as it is generally distributed by Rashi :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:?

^^Quicksync bro. And there is no Rev 3 problem with Z68 ?

I am getting a quote of 14.5k for Z68-V-PRO (incl taxes) and 13298 for standard version (incl taxes)
For Core i5 2500k - 10950 (incl taxes)

Good enough ?

bamp ?

14500 incl all taxes for Z68-V-PRO
10950 incl all taxes i5 2500k

Okay guys I need your opinion.

The only difference betweeen V and V-Pro is addition of DTS and few more SATA 6Gbps ports.

Should I go for V (13,300) or V-Pro (14,500)

Increase your budget and get a 6GB DDR3 kit from any good brand.
Is it neccesary for a PC used for only 2 years.?
BTW, DDR 4 will probably come out same time as Ivy Bridge

^^ In that case get 4GB DDR3 from Kingston (can't get any lower priced RAM brands) and get a P67 mobo around 10k. This way you don't need to stretch your budget.

Motherboard |Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-US2H|3400
RAM |G.Skill F3-10666CL9S-2GBNQ|1100
Graphic Card |MSI HD5770|7000

Thanks, Manju. I just want to know if the premium over standard (z68 V) is worth my dough. Is DTS a gimmick or something which should be there.

I just need Processor, Mobo and RAM. Cabinet too (going for NZXT Phantom, already set 9k not included in 25k)

I like the quicksync feature and Z68 advantage over P and H.

I'd say spend as less as possible so that when MS releases DX 12 and Ivy Bridge comes out you can spend for a better PC.
In 2 years, the computer sphere will change vastly so.....I am saying

The 6670 is the best.
BTW, try to create you're own thread. Hijacking is against forum rules :)



BTW, Faun what do you say of this config-
Component | Make | Price Processor | Intel Core i5 2600k | 10500
Motherboard |GA-Z68X-UD3R-B3 | 10500
RAM | Corsair XMS3 2X2GB 1600C9 | 2400
