Xeon is equivalent to a non-i7 in terms of performance and way cheaper. BTW Cooler Master Thunder Series PSU's are not good at all where they use crappy capacitors which results in lower life span for the whole PC. So its better to go with my Config. Even Corsair CX Series PSU's are equally good compared with Antec. So its your choice but don't ever go with Corsair VS Series PSU's.OK.

Made the necessary changes in the table above as for the Monitor is concerned.OK.

Thanks Buddy,

I guess i will go with corsair cx 600w since that i am getting at a steal deal of 2000... from a local shop.

Just want to clarify one point... with xeon and b85 mobo if in future i want to OC will i be able to do? Read on many forum that for OC h97 and i7 will be better config.
