BMG ftw!!
Don't get fooled by newegg rating & reviews. Most of them are coming from totally newbies, who buy the product, use processor at its stock speed & write a review 1-2 days after buying.
True fact!

True fact!Buy 2500K.
SMC guys are trying to sell their new 3550K off.
First batch of 3550K & 3770K reported to have heating problems, you can see the problems by searching google.
But, only 500/- price difference?
Can you tell us the price of 2500K & 3550K at SMC?
SMC is selling i5 2500k for 12,500 and i5 3550 for 13,000 [I am not sure whether the latter is K edition]. Other places like Computer Empire are selling the i5 2500k for 11,500-12,000

Bought the PC today and been playing with it the entire day. It's working beautifully so far
Cooler Master Elite 430
Corsair 600W PSU
Core i5 2500k
Gigabyte z77p-d3 [atx]
gigabyte HD 7870 OC
Corsair 1600mhz 4x2 GB DDR3 at 1.5v
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 7200rpm with 32mb Cache
Sony DWD RW
Dell ST2220L 21.5" Full HD LED [I am very happy with this]
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
I have added a couple of blue LED 2000rpm fans and along with the bundled fan and the PSU fan [which also has LED] it's all looking quite cool
Bought it from SMC and got it assembled from them as well. The guy did really good cable management
A huge thank you to all those who helped me on this forum!
A few points:
1. the whole rig cost me 74,000/- which includes the cost of Windows license
2. a little bit of bargaining with SMC guys is possible but do it the first time you get a quotation from them, not on subsequent visits.
3. I didn't like the SMC shop on the first floor [meghdoot building i think] at all - the guys are unhelpful, and they quote ridiculous prices + wrong info [seasonic 620W just can't handle radeon hd 7870 for example]. They quoted everything at 1k-2k more than computer empire
4. the guy at computer empire [anil, in room 208 meghdoot building] is helpful but also will try to push crappy stuff on you like cooler master PSUs [I mean really push].
5. SMC shop on the ground floor which opens out right in front of modi building is really good -- guy there called mahesh ["puppy"] is polite and helpful, but like all sales people would try to push some things on you [like the i5 3550 or absolutely unnecessary HDMI cables]. But he will source components if you insist. He got me my hard drive and power supply from other shops.
6. the SMC assembler guy on their second floor "lab" [guy by the name of jp] is good at his **** but you should keep a close watch on him - it's not beyond them to casually put aside an accessory that you don't need [but which came out of the boxes you just bought] - I saw this happen with an HDMI cable today belonging to a not very observant guy who had paid 70k for a dell monitor.
