RAM|G.Skill Ripjaws F3-10666CL9S-4GBRL
Graphic Card|MSI GTX560Ti hawk

DVD Writer|LG 22X SATA DVD
PSU|Corsair VX550
Case|NZXT Tempest EVO

the problem is he doesnt want a intel h67 mobo and wants a good h67 mobo within 6-6.5k which has 4 ram slots
also can u guys tell the price of the above components
thanx in advance

I checked Lynx-india, smc and theitwares and didn't find a single H67 mobo apart from Intel that comes with 4 Ram slots and within 6 to 6.5K. All of them are over 7K. However the Intel one is very good and I don;t know why your friend is having problem with it.
Other wise check Asus P8H67-M, available within 7.5K

 

[game-freak]

i told him the same thing that intel h67 are good boards but he said he has had some bad experiences with intel mobo and is not willing to buy intel

 

[Extreme Gamer]

tell him to cough up more cash and get Cilus's recommendation.

Which RAM kit is that?

 

[game-freak]

RAM is 1333 MHz i think so thats what he told me single 4gb
can u guys plz tell me the price for vx550

 

[Extreme Gamer]

dude get 1600mhz RAM.its not much more costly @2.8k

 

[game-freak]

H67 boards supports a max of 1333MHz of RAM

and can any1 tell me the price for corsair vx550 i read some where on the forum that the price has gone down for it

3.9k is what i got few weeks back.

AFAIK, it will be or its already in EOL.

@OP, i wd say u should suggest ur friend to get i5-2400... The diff betwn i5 2500 & 2400 is jus 0.2GHz, but the price diff is ~1K... IMHO its not worth t, also this way u can add 1K for the mobo... Jus my opinion.

 

[Cilus]

good suggestion. Really the performance difference between 2500 and 2400 is minimal and trhe extra one K can be used to get the desired Asus mobo.

1600mhz rams will be downclocked to 1333 speeds when placed on an h67 board. No point in getting it. Socket 2011 boards will support rams in excess of 1600mhz frequency.

@OP, i wd say u should suggest ur friend to get i5-2400... The diff betwn i5 2500 & 2400 is jus 0.1GHz, but the price diff is ~1K... IMHO its not worth t, also this way u can add 1K for the mobo... Jus my opinion.

i5 2400 ----- Clock Speed: 3.1GHz and Max Turbo Frequency: 3.4GHz
i5 2500 ----- Clock Speed: 3.3GHz and Max Turbo Frequency: 3.7GHz
how come the difference is 0.1 GHz

 

[Cilus]

Well, then it is 0.2 GHz. And Turbo core frequency difference is not gonna give you that much of performance benefit as it is for those applications which cannot use all the CPU cores.
