A: Want a screen with 1920×1080, Full-HD, 24"

14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary
A:
Processor - Intel Core i7 2600k
Motherboard - ASUS P8P67 PRO b3 / ASUS P8P67 b3 / ASUS Sabertooth P67 b3
Ram - G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-4GBXL / CORSAIR XMS3 CMX4GX3M2A1600C8 / Kingston HyperX KHX1600C8D3T1K2/4GX
Case - CM 690 II Advanced Transparent Side Panel / Antec Nine Hundred Two
Graphics Card - Sapphire HD6970 2GB
Guys as you can see i don't have a complete configuration in mind for your scrutiny
and i am undecided on the very few components that i have in mind as seen from the choices.
This is mainly due to the fact that i was initially planning to go with an x58 rig and soon
changed my mind.
I know that it is a bit early since i plan to buy only in may,but i want to finalise
and order the respective parts,since they may not be available where i live (kerala)
Will the onboard audio controller be enough for my needs ( gaming,movies etc )or
should i invest in a proper sound card???
Also suggest a few online stores from where i can order parts at the cheapest rate.
I know that the list is a bit exhaustive and my requirements are a bit high for the
suggested budget, but please try fulfill the requirements within the budget.And finally
the main requirement of the system is that it should be FUTURE PROOF.
Thanks in Advance.
