I don't get it - whhich combo you are referring as 11K.

Core i3 2100 + Intel DH61WW = ~9.5k
Core i5 2400 + Intel DH61WW = ~13K

Can you tell me which combo is 11K or there's some price reduction on core i5 2400 :confused:

My bad, its 13k mate. I mistyped in the previous post. You are correct. 9.5+3.5 is 13k for the i5 2400 combo.

Thanks again buddy.:smile:

How about this H67 mobo for budget SB configs. This board only costs 4.5k.

Guys, last Saturday I was in Kolkata hardware market to get my 2nd HD 6870 for CF and got some nice findings.
There is new brand of PSUs available over there, Tacen. Although I've never heard of that brand, I was interested. Found out that FSP is the Oem for them. There are two PSUs, 500W @ 3K and 600W @ 3.5K. The best thing is both the PSUs are modular and very slim and comes with quad 12 Volt rail with 18A each of them (for the 600W). The shopkeeper (M.D. Computer) told me that they are 80% certified.
I asked Vicky to do some research on it and he found out that all of them are 80+ Bronze Certified. Also these PSUs are of very good build quality and very silent. Another information I've found out in TipidPC forum that it is tested with 2 GTX 460 in SLI and HD 6870 in CF. So at a price point of just 3.5K the deal is really sweet. the 600W can provide a whopping 504 Watt to the 12V rail.

However, purchased the following things:
Hd 6870 Sapphire @ 11.9K + tax
RAzor Goliathus Mouse pad @ 0.5K all
Seagate 500 GB external @ 2.45K all

^^ I am convinced. This psu can be easily recommended instead of a vx 450 or seasonic 520. Being modular , cable management is a piece of cake. The 80+ bronze rating ensures low electricity bills.

The good thing is it can easily support multigpu configs of mid range cards like 6870,6850 , gtx 460 etc. Since the oem is FSP, its quite trustworthy as well. Thumbs up from my side :thumbs:. Let others comment.

@Vickybat/Cilus: Incidently I got Tacen PSU 500W couple of weeks back from SMC @ 2.5K...where I was looking for CX400 :) . At that time was spectical about its performance...now looking at your comments above I think I should consider myself fortunate. BTW what is the max GPU tacens 500w can support? I have the following config:

AMD Phenom IIx4 955
Gigabyte 880G-UD3H
Corsair 1333mhz 2X2
Segate 500 GB

Well that 500w can support upto GTX560ti or HD6950 without any issues.
If currently there's no overclocking with the processor then wattage will be around 410w - 430w, but if overclocked then, not sure.

But its clear you have a long way to go with tacen Supero 500w.

Why eBay?? You've got loads of other sites to get a PSU from.

Post the PSU that you want to buy.

@ d3p5kor & gaurav
thnks for the update guys i was just surfin around n i went to ebay on a whim i thought i could take the ebay prices as a threshold and go looking for psu's in lamington rd so that i dont get ripped offby the sales ppl there ... i mean if ebay prices are inflated and costly then prices in lamington rd shud be far cheaper shudnt they ???
any ways just chkd the lamington market and p67 mobo's still havnt hit the market here as they shud hav .. wat a waste of time any ways lets wait till the end of april to let the market settle down a bit so that i cn get better prices coz the guy i asked gave a hint that the prices may just dip a small bit ... :D

the price mentioned in the ebay are 10 - 20% higher than the other online prices in India. Now sometime, if you find an ideal deal then local street prices are lesser, but not always.

I feel its not worth buying stuff like processors, GPU,etc from ebay. Not only that they are more in prices but there is too many choices.

PrimeAGDB and TheitDeopt and SMC International are only reccomended
