Buy ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 i7-3770K RAM 8GB in Mumbai India
primeabgb edited the link actualy it was showing i7 3770k ,but now they have changed it to i5 3570k so not worth the deal

as proof of their editing there is no cpu i7 3570k only i5 3570k

Intel Core i7-3570K

They are misleading people. :twisted:

^^F&D A-520 is a steal for that price. Just placed an order for A-510.

But specification wise not as good as Logitech Z313 which is also available @1.7K.

thanks a lot...helped a ton because I am planning a update to my very old amd sempron (socket 775)

Very old AMD Sempron is not LGA 775 based, it is either socket 939 or AM2 based. LGA 775 is an Intel Socket standard, not AMD.

MSI N560 GTX
G.Skill 2x2 GB 1333Mhz RAM
Seasonic S12II 520W
CM Elite 430
2-3 extra case fans.

I dont need a monitor now, as i have a 17 inch monitor (1440x900)
I will be using Win7 64-bit.

I want to ask the same why not HTPC config
A machine consist of HDMI port (for direct connecting to led tv), plays any video content throw at it, best user interface gui software, IR receiver inbuild, might have Component/composite connection (optional), 1080p full HD resolution support. Mini itx / micro itx (oops), DTS decoding, dolby etc etc

Well what i mean to say is simple why not a HTPC config in budget most of the forum (mostly not indian) do give out HTPC config with normal pc config.. It was just a request nothing else.
Mini itx mobo are very rare not much option in this sec (in india i mean) so i wanted to request to include it in this template..

here is a link for 61 / 67 motherboard
it is compatible with Dual core G620 and other i3 i5
it is cheapest i got.. (with features i mean)
It is just a suggestion and a little effort for other.

check the availability on flipkart and from local dealer
90% is from flipkart
10% (only of biostar) are not from flipkart listed below
Biostar TH61U3 (usb 3)
Biostar TH61 ITX (Mini Itx)


Didn't included PCI 3.0 because it can only be utilized by Ivy Bridge processor only. Only aimed at dual core and i3 processor board. I might be wrong but i did a through research in that..

Also ASRock H61M/U3S3 is available at lamington @ 4500 + taxes (negotiable) confirmed.

PCI-E 3.0 slot can only be used if you use an Ivy Bridge processor, not any core i5 or i7. i5 2400 or i7 2600 will not support PCI-E 3.0 even if the board does have one, AFAIK.
