Planning to build a new system

[the deadmantilal]

I am looking to build a new system for around 15K. I am only looking for
motherboard + cpu + CPU case + Ram as i have the other components (monitor,mouse,keyboard etc.) with me.

I was thinking of going with core i3 2100 processor and H67 chipset. Kindly advise some motherboard options for the same. Also would like to know if there are any other better configurations that can come under 15K.

So, for 15k get:
* Intel i3-2100 -- 6k
* Asus P8H61-M LE -- 3.5k
* Corsair 2GB DDR3 Value RAM -- 0.8k
* WDC Blue 500GB -- 2.8k
* Zebronics Aviator/Reaper w/o PSU -- 1.5k
* Zebronics/Mercury 500W PSU -- 0.6k
Total ---- 15.2k

* You can go for cheaper cabinets like zebronics lake, lotus, race. All these cost 1k.
* You should consider getting mercury SMPS coz they have 3yrs warranty unlike other brands which have 1yr/2yr warranty.
* If you want to add an ODD too then you have to settle with 500GB HDD which costs 1.9k so that with the remaining 0.9k you can get a HP/Samsung/LG DVD-RW.

@saswat... What will be the cost of 1TB WD HDD... ???

1TB is ~5900 now.also 500GB for 2.8k is incorrect & now price is ~4800.

go for a 955 BE over i3 if u plan to overclock the combo it for the same price and as for the mobo go for a Asus 785G chipset for the best results it coest minimum 4k to 6k+ good luck

 

[jerrin_ss5]

for PSU case you can go for NZXT Gamma which is a very good value for money cabinet which is about 2k and it comes without PSU.

 

[avinandan012]

go for the i3 based system it's faster in most cases than 955BE.

for case get a cheap local cabinet for 0.9K-1K & for PSU get corsair
CX430V2 ~ 2.3k
