For i5 2400, you should opt for a H67 chipset based motherboard and there is no point to spend 7K on a H67 chipset motherboard. There are couple of boards from ASUS and MSI with full solid capacitor design, superb heatsink etc. But in most of the reviews, like in Toms Hardware, those features are called useless as Overclocking is not possible H67 chipset and for that reason those high end componets, high quality heatsink etc are actually useless in real life.

So my suggestion is Intel DH67CL-B3 @ 5.6K.

same applies for i5 2500 too?

i don't want to upgrade my config for 4-6 years that's why i asked for i7
you dont need a i7 to be future proof.
my pc will be online for 24h or may be more, so i need any cooler?

i need some strong PSU, don;t know may be electricity problem in my area or else, i have to change PSU in every year, currently using iBall and it burned yesterday night :(
get a cooler master hyper 212+

why dont you get a ups?

my suggestion -

Component | Make | Price PSU |Corsair GS600|4000
| Total |31400

and if you want you may add a good mid range card later for gaming.
that psu is absolute overkill. that rig wont even use half of its rated power at full load.
a vx450 will be a cheaper choice by almost 1k rupees

I am web developer, so there will be many changes in application which is help me in my field. according to this i need such system who can handle feature application easily at lease for next 4-5 years
if you are a web developer, you dont need too much computing power, even a mid end i3 will be enough. for graphics requirement, get a good gpu, it'll last long.

i am just trying to get future proof pc, currently using dual core, too much fan sound and it need too much electricity
is fan sound an irritation, get a good quality cpu cooler with large, slower fans, more efficient.
if you need power saving, go for AMD llano

i got following price from DCC Pune

Processor - Intel i5-2400 @ 10,200
Motherboard - Asus P8H67M-EVO @ 13,500
DVD - HP DVD-RW @ 950
HDD - Seagate 500GB @ 2100
RAM - Corsair VENGEANCE 4GB @ 2500
SMPS - FSP SAGAII 500W @ 4000
Cabinet - Cooler Master 430 or Cooler Master 431 @ 3300
god, this is a highway robbery. someone toss these guys a molotov cocktail

i like CM 690 II Advanced cabinet how it is
buddy, get your other components in order first :)
spend the rest of the money on cabinet, then ^_^

you are wasting money on the 650tx. are you planning to get a high end gaming card in the future? or do you want to overclock a lot?

if yes, then by all means go for the tx650. if not, get a cheaper psu. you will save 2-3k.

Guys.... I saw few posts recommending Intel DH67BL.

With personal experience I am telling this Board is JUNK.. Lots of lots of Headaches especially with VIDEO playing... This Board is one of the worst Board i have seen recently.... Stay away from this Board infact from INTEL BOARDs when buying SB chips...

Spending for Higher Quality PSU is always good thing. It might be handy when upgrading or adding components. And PSU is one thing which we don't want to Buy every time you go to system upgrade. Also quality products from Corsair do have good warranty period to get them replace if any problems arise..


@Prajyot
For that config..you just need Good quality PSU of 450 watts... Infact it's more than enough too.... you can go for Corsair or Antec or Seasonic or FSP ... I prefer Corsair or Antec..

but a gs600 for a i5 and a 8500gt?? overkill. only get that if you plan to OC or get a high end gpu. else a VX450 will suffice. its even rated for 500W (corsair actually put a 450W sticker on a 500W unit, these guys are awesome!)

Thanks which PSU will be good i mean series like TX, GS etc...

Both are good performers but TX is little better.. you can get it if you don't have budget problem right now.... If not just like "doomgiver" said ,get VX450 for now. it will serve very well till mid end graphics Card. Vx450 is True good performer.
