I am told that Sandy Bridge processors has been called off.
Only motherboards were called off as the chipset had a big problem.

Refer here: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/cpu-motherboards/137113-info-regarding-fixed-sandy-bridge-rev-3-0-b3.html

I am well aware the problems with the mobo of sandy bridge and the fixed sandy bridge mobo.
But the problem at this moment is that I cannot find any shop from where I can get a sandy bridge with the revised mobo. Just because the only name I came across is vedant. Please suggest any other stores.

Contact Cilius. He lives in Kolkata and knows the whereabouts of tech shops very well.

@mailme.manju Its in the 1st post of the thread.

There is no integrated graphics in that mobo???
A discrete GPU(if I go for one will be of 1gb I thought I might upgrade it later) will really overshoot the budget. :cry:

Still, let me have an idea of the price of GPU's the cheaper ones are preferred.

If I go for an i5 2500 ignoring the k series I would not be able to overclock? and the mobo will also be of H series hence less costly isnt it?

Well, after a few googling I found that I am yet to know how to overclock. So I am thinking about going for the i5 2500.
Sorry for the wrong information I gave earlier.

2500k is lot more futureproof..

Got some info from some of the Tech shops in Kolkata. Right now as Sandy Bridge mobos are called out, there is a vacancy for Sandy Bridge mobos in Kolkata. Since you won't get the motherboard, the shops are also not selling the Sandy Bridge processors.
You have to go for a hunt to Ganesh Chandra Avenue to find out if any Intel Sandy Bridge mobo are avilable.

Trying to finalize my rig. Budget can be increased till 47k-50k:)roll:) but it must be futureproof. Not intended to include the graphics card now will include it later. going for i7 2600k plz see the following config

Processor-Intel Core i7 2600k @ 17k
Motherboard-Intel DP67BG @ 8k
Hard Disk- Seagate 1TB @ 2.7k
Ram - Corsair 2x2GB 1333MHz @ 2.3k
PSU - Corsair VX450W @ 3.5k
Cabinet - NZXT Gamma @2k
Monitor- Benq G2220HD @ 7.3k (What about a Monitor LCD samsung monitor of 20"?)
UPS- APC(?3K?)
LG 22x SATA DVD RW @ .9k
Total-47k

1.Please let me know is there any chance of improvement?
2. Suggest a shop in Kolkata from where I can buy these stuffs specially the sandybridge mobo. I really want to go for sandy bridge.

Do I really need a gpu now? the processor seem to have integrated graphics hopefully.
