You absolutely sure about Intel. I do not want my hair pulled out later. Cause I will assemble and install the Win7. I am not comfortable at all with Intel boards.

Also why was Z67 recommended over H67..?

I am absolutely sure of this and have practical experience as well. I had my board replaced by these guys. You can visit their service RMA centre at nehru place.

Tomorrow, me and cilus are going to RMA his MSI 890 GXM board which went kaput due to power surge.

We talked with the guy and he said he'll replace the board by hand if he has stock. Else 10 days. Same rule applies to intel mainboards as well.
Will let you know the experience.:smile:

I say you better stick with h67 boards. No point going for z68 along with a non K processor.

Get this:

Intel DH67VR-B3 @4.5k
Has 4 dimm slots, usb 3.0 and sata 6gbps ports as well. Its the cheapest board to have these features.

Replace the ** with a /

I'm assuming Gaming is the only concern that is gonna stress the system and other works are like as Asingh mentioned:-
Out of the question. He does a ton of other stuff on a computer. Movies/office work/surfing/chatting. So needs it for dual purposes.

So even an Athlon II X4 is enough for it.

Here is my suggestion:-

AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ 5.5K
Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3 @ 4.8K
Gskill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9S-4GBXL @ 1.6K
Corsair GS600W @ 4K
NZXT Gamma @ 2K
Sapphire HD 6870 1 GB @ 10.8K (price from here)

I think the price will be lower than your Core i5 based config but in gaming performance, it simply beats any of the other competetion. HD 6870 offers good 1080P gaming performance in highest settings for most of the games and Racing games won't be any problem for it. Phenom II 955 is enough for gaming and can be overclocked to fetch some extra performance. Also the mobo I've suggested comes ith AM3+ processor support. So future upgrades won't be any problem.

Go for the Intel rig if any of the other stuff he does is CPU intensive. If not so much, then AMD rig + better GPU makes more sense.

Nopes, want him to get new tech. :) Not age old stuff, which is moving to legacy. He plans to play FIFA 13,14 whenever they come out. :)

Plus I doubt he will want AMD. He has not even heard of it. And now ways am I convincing him the pros and cons of AMD vs. Intel.

How much GPU power is actually needed for FIFA (any version) and some racers once in a while? FIFA still remains just a console port, nothing else.

^^6770. Its a rebranded 5770 and does not share the barts architecture.

But i suggest a 6850 cyclone for 1080p resolution. Worth the extra 2k.

^^ Megamind: OP has a max budget of 35k & out of it 13k is only meant for Monitor [check the first post.]

6870 is over kill. And as I mentioned, will not get CM PSUs.

If u consider for Fifa 11/12 alone, yes 6770 is enough..
