^^G620 is more than enough for HD content playback. But if you plan to upgrade it to a casual gaming RiG by adding a GPU later then going for i3-2120 is recommended.

I have no plans of upgrading it to a gaming rig in the near future, atleast not for next 2-3 years. Its just I don't want the PC to be sluggish to work on. Thats why I had a doubt with G620.

Both are almost priced same. I can't figure out the difference between two except for the 450 v/s 430 watt. Please someone explain this.

No one reviewed the CS450...means opening up the psu and checking and finding voltages....etc
I find only this from digit
Available in the Asian market only.
in corsairs site here

I have a CX430 and it is silent and good...

I inquired in the local market and Asus P8H61 board is not available. Instead they have MSI H61M.
From what I can see is MSI does not have the integrated graphics. Are there any other differences?? Should I go with the MSI one or get the Asus one online??

 

[Jripper]

Do not go for an APU. Period.
Upgrade path is closed.

I think the IGP of intel processors is in the processor itself and not in the mobo so don't worry about that.

 

[Sainatarajan]

Yeah . It is integrated in the processor itself.

 

[utkarsh73]

So I should go with the MSI motherboard??
Also no one knows about the Corsair brand here. All they have is a cabinet with in built SMPS for 2K. I think I have to get that online.

Buy Online. From Flipkart. If you are cool with making payment before getting product in your hand, you may also buy from SMC or Primeabgb or ITWares.

When I was also buying my pc , they suggested the cabinet with SMPS . I said no to them . Then they asked what you want , I said I need CORSAIR SMPS only. You ask them.

 

[utkarsh73]

Ok then. Now I m getting SMPS and cabinet from flipkart.com. I talked to him and he agreed to assemble the PC if I bring my own SMPS and cabinet.

 

[d6bmg]

^^ Assemble you PC by yourself.

 

[utkarsh73]

I have ordered the cabinet and SMPS yesterday from flipkart.com. But they are showing the expected delivery date between 27 June-2 July. I hope they don't take so much time.

^^ Assemble you PC by yourself.

I have never assembled neither I have seen any one assembling. BTW what is the trickiest part of assembling the PC?

 

[d6bmg]

Attaching CPU cooler with CPU maybe?

Hello guys. I have bought all the components at the following prices

Intel Pentium G620 + MSI H61 motherboard @ 5.9K
WD Caviar Green 1 TB @ 5.2K
Corsair 4GB RAM @ 1.4K
BenQ GL2222HDL @ 7.7K
Cooler Master Elite 310 @ 2K(flipkart)
Corsair CX430 PSU @ 2.5K(flipkart)

But there is one problem. The cabinet sent by flipkart is damaged and as such the assembler said that its useless and cannot hold the motherboard properly. Now I going to contact flipkart about this matter. I know about their 30 day replacement policy but do they have any return policy?? I don't have enough time to return them the product and wait for their delivery.

 

[RiGOD]

^^I guess they'll be arranging a pick up for your product ASAP, but not sure f the new product will be delivered the same day.

 

[utkarsh73]

If they will arrange for the pickup then its fantastic. But they haven't called me yet. I guess I have to call them again.

 

[utkarsh73]

here is the snapshot of the damaged cabinet:

yesterday they asked me to mail the snapshot and after seeing it, they agreed to replace the cabinet.

 

[d6bmg]

^^ That's a good response from their end. Its damaged, but not beyond repair. But why should you accept damaged cabinet when you are buygin from them & having their 30 day replacement policy in place.

 

[utkarsh73]

I am not accepting the damaged cabinet. That is why they are replacing it.
