Urgently buying a desktop pc..Help plz!

[vineet09]

Hi guyz, i need your expert help to build a solid desktop pc by this weekend.

Primary function is surfing, multimedia & games. Won't be gaming much for 2 years.

Budget is 55000 rs..can go upto 62000 if required for a more compatible build

Don't need: Monitor, UPS, keyboard Mouse.

CPU----------- Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz Quad-Core(Must i buy it?) 12000
Motherboard-- ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 11000
Memory------- G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 3500
Hard Drive----- Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM(WD caviar has 3 years warranty) 5000
Video Card---- -------------------------- ------
CPU Cooler--- Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 2200
Case---------- Corsair 400R ATX Mid Tower(Dust problems?) 5000
Power Supply-- Corsair 650W ATX12V / EPS12V 5500


PS: I will do basic things for 1-2 years. Then i'll run few heavy games without lag. So, for now a work-around config will work. But it must be cost effective to upgrade in 2 years.Less upgrades the better it is.


ORRRRRRR, buy an imac?? Kindly give me your opinion about this build..What parts can be replaced with better alternatives and also moneysavers. Thanks guyz

Yup, good config. Just get WDC Blue 1TB for 5.2k instead of Seagate.
For PSU get Seasonic S12II-620 for 5.2k.
For graphics card get MSI HD 7850 PE for 17k.

For gaming, ditch the !dea of getting mac.

Thanx for suggestion.
I am also planning to add SSD. 90gb/120gb as boot drive. Can u suggeso gud one.
PSU & HDD changed as u have suggested above..

Few questions:
1) MOBO: asrock extreme4 or asus m-pro ?
2) Case: corsair 400r is too dust-prone?? Any other better looking Case?
3) Monitor under 10k?
4) how's SAPPHIRE HD 7850 OC 2GB GDDR5


I am hoping to order most parts by tomorrow

1. In that case I would go with P8Z77-M PRO
2. Not sure, ask forum member 'sorcerer' about this.
3. You can get Dell 23inch LED
4. Good one, so get one that's cheaper. But AFAIK Sapphire comes with only 2yrs warranty.

Wat's the warranty on MSI one? Is it on-site?

I found it being sold on itwares.com with 3 year warranty. So, m going with this to save 1500 bucks like u said.

Thanks a lot for the links.
I have opted for link 1. And, i was already planning to buy it as well but m going for the 40/60 gb just enough for OS and 1 or 2 games.
