Hello,guys I have not been on the forum for a long time,so I do not know what is going on these days,I would like you to suggest me a
1-Processor
2-Motherboard
3-Ram
I already have a EVGA GTX 570 2.5GB and I have a coolermaster 500W psu.
My budget for these 3 items is around 550$(Rs 30000),as I live in India.
Please help!!
Thank You in advance.
 
Intel's ivy bridge processor is supposed to be released in a couple weeks, might ant to wait for it, otherwise, 2500k, good brand mobo on z77 chipset, and 8gb's of 1600 or whatever.
 
Processor: Intel Core i5 2500K if you want to buy now, otherwise wait for Ivy Bridge (April 29th is the magic day!)
Mobo: ASUS P8Z77-V or a Gigabyte Z77 board
RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) of Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz or G.Skill RipJawsX 1600MHz. If your budget allows, get 1866MHz RipJawsZ RAM.

EVGA can make a mobo. Lots of people will say you need only 8 gb ram, but that won't be true in only a couple of years. That 2500k is overclockable and a hyper 212 is a awesome cpu cooler, you could oc it a gigahert or 2.

That board is pretty good but it's a Z68-based board and now you can get Z77 for the same sort of price so I'd get a Z77 board instead. I believe Z77 has USB 3.0 right on the chipset too.

You don't want 12GB of RAM made up of 3x4GB sticks for the 2500K. That CPU supports dual-channel RAM, and 3x4GB is not dual-channel, it will only be running in single-channel with the 3 sticks and the 2500K which is slower than dual-channel of course. You need 2 or 4 sticks for dual-channel performance, so if you wanted 12GB of dual-channel RAM you'd need 2x4GB+2x2GB sticks. That's a bit complicated so I'd go for 8GB made up of 2x4GB sticks or 16GB made up to either 4x4GB or 2x8GB for the 2500K. The same will likely apply to the Ivy Bridge CPUs too when they come out in a few weeks time. :) Also, why get 1333MHz when 1600MHz or even 1866MHz isn't all that much more and quite a bit faster?

Yes, if I were building a PC now I'd want to wait for Ivy Bridge. It's only a two week wait. :)
