Should I upgrade or not. If yes 35k PC or 60k PC.

Okay. Agreed, but I want a Crossfire capapble mobo, most of the H77 or H67 or B75 are micro ATX and dont have Crossfire.

This one looks good in Flipkart but out of stock.

Gigabyte GA-H77-DS3H

And if you guys dont support buying stuff from US, I would rather buy a 7850 right away. That costs 16k here, but for the same 16k I can get a 7950 from US.

if you want to go cfx then z77 mobo is good for you...
and its your decision whether to 7850 here or 7950 from us...

cheers!

i would go for the hd 7850
also the price differenece between inida and usa is negated after customs
so unless you get international warranty getting a card from us is not recommended
also i have only heard of evga and xfx giving international warranty no other brand so far!

Guys I decided to get MSI TWIN FROZR OC 7850. I just checked my bank account I am a little short on cash :p. I will try to get some and buy all these this weekend or will have to buy it on 10th of this month when my CC will be renewed. I just hope the prices dont rise up all of a sudden :|. Thank you panwala, ace, akki and everyone who helped.

Sure thing. I spent the whole day researching the best price. Looks like Flipkarts insanely costly. Abgb comes next. The least price is available right in my city at Delta Peripherals. They have except two parts, the processor and Card. They said they will arrange for it tomorrow. If I dont get the 2400 I might up it a little and get the 2500k.

Guys the motherboard is not available at the moment. I am going to look at other shops. Can you guys suggest an alternate motherboard ? My only requirement is it should be sli capable no over clocking. And the processor is a tad costly so might get 2320 instead of 2500k as I wont over lock.

you can go for gigabyte ga z77p d3 @ 8.2k should suffice
it features crossfire but for some reason doesnt support sli.........

Got em all. Thought of buying an ssd too. But I already overshot my budget of 30k

Final list is i5 2500k Gskill 4x 2 + z77p d3 + 1tb wd blue + Msi 7850 + dell 21.5 full hd + apc ups + cx600 + cm431 elite

Total cost around 66k. Thank you everyone once again ! Will post in the show off thread

Well it helps in earning your own money. The only person you have to convince is yourself :p

The SSD looks very attractive, I might buy that as well this week. For now I will assemble all other parts now and will post in the show off thread by eod.

SSD is a very nice option and will give tremendous performance boost to the system...
better boot and shutdown time, response time and very very VERY few hangs.. :)

and you not only over shoot the budget you even over shoot the double of the budget.. :p

Guys. I seem to have a slight problem with the RAM. CPU Z shows

CAS : 11
RAS to CAS : 11
RP : 11
Cycle Time : 28

Mines supposed to run at 9 9 9 24 right.

EDIT : Solved. Enabled XMP and it did the trick. Now its running at 9 9 9 24 as specified
