Hello,

Since I cant decide on the processor for now and in a hurry to start work, I would like to go minimal on it and
later upgarde once new ryzen or intel processors come out. I hope G4560 can support
the 2400 16GB RAM. Is this idea foolproof or am i not thinking right ! please advise.
Hoping this below config. can handle android studio and Eclipse IDE.

Are there any good white cabinets available that suits below config.

G4560 -4500
Asus H110M-D -5000
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 2400 -15460
Corsair CX 550 -4500
Antec GX200 -3000
WD Caviar Blue 1TB -3500
Samsung 860 EVO 250GB SSD -6500
HP 22ES 21.5-inch IPS LED Monitor -9700

Thanks ...

G4560 is 7th gen so if you take it then you will have to buy a new mobo too when buying 8th gen or newer intel.If you can't wait then get an intel 8th gen based system suggested in previous posts.Just check mdcomputers.in & pick a cheap asus/gigabyte/msi mobo(in that order) supporting 8th gen processors within your budget & having the features you need.

Don't waste money on a H370 mobo. Get a B360 one instead.

There is only 1K difference between h370 plus and b360 plus models. I hope its ok to go with h370.

@op ,if the difference between cx550 and tx550m is not much, then don't hesitate to get tx550 psu. wd blue is available at 2.9k at mdcomputers and cx550 at 4.1k. also Samsung 860 EVO 250GB is at 5.75k at onlyssd.com.

If you are going to be compiling very very frequently "heavy apps" then only 8700 seems worth it .. You are paying approx 10k ( 75%) more for 30% more performance compared to i5 8400.. take some inputs from @singh_dd93 or @Nerevarine if it's worth it as i5 8400 itself is pretty powerful...

If you aren't going to add power hungry gpu the you can go with cx 450 and save money if budget is tight or if you want long life/durability then preferably go for TX 550M at 5.7k or so if you can get it ...

Check motherboards at primeabgb as well

I dont have corsair 2400MHz 16GB avaialble , only 3000Mhz 16GB is available. MBD does support upto 2666Mhz.

Shall I go with crucial 2400MHz 16GB , Is it a good brand choice.

If difference is only ~1k then go with H370 as it has better build quality & more features than B360.
