Can someone please tell me if all these parts are compatible. Also if there are cheaper alternatives available, please do tell. The prices are in INR. Thanks.

@chimera201 asrock motherboard specs looked really good. The others were suggested in this post only. And I think you're right....I'll wait for some time before buying any graphics card.

I'm buying haswell cpu and asrock's motherboard just to be future proof.

 

[chimera201]

You can't future proof the motherboard. Intel keeps changing sockets and when the time comes to make a worthy CPU upgrade u will need a motherboard with a different socket

Asrocks' specs are just for marketing. And which specs u found interesting and going to use? AFAIK technically Gigabyte is better

 

[Shekhar Suman]

@chimera201 how about this one
Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP Motherboard - 11556

Maybe u are not understanding my comments. U already asked that question and i already answered it
Check back my original suggestion

 

[Shekhar Suman]

@chimera201 no u said that gigabyte is technically better so I asked you if this one is better than asrock

 

[chimera201]

@chimera201 no u said

I didn't say no. I recommended an Ivy Bridge CPU . Ivy and Haswell CPUs use different sockets so they need different motherboards. Intel keeps changing sockets with new CPUs and that is why i said u can't future proof your motherboard. So just forget future proofing and go with i5 3570K. I also linked a comparison before between 3570k and 4670K

 

[Shekhar Suman]

@chimera201 ok now I get it. Thanks.

Yep, all your parts will work in perfect harmony, but as a lot of individuals pointed out, I'd recommend getting a dual channel setup for your RAM, which less complicatedly means get 2 sticks of RAM that equal 8GB. Other than that you should do great!

Okay. But what should I get, Corsair 1600Mhz 2x4GB or G.Skill RipjawsX 1600Mhz 2x4GB?

u need to specify part numbers

Okay.
G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL)
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R)

 

[chimera201]

What i suggested is better than those 2 even if they are CL9 memory
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMZ8GX3M2A2133C11R)

 

[Shekhar Suman]

Also can anyone suggest a good cabinet upto 5000 INR?

 

[Shekhar Suman]

What i suggested is better than those 2 even if they are CL9 memory
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMZ8GX3M2A2133C11R)

Is it compatible with MSI Mpower Max?

 

[chimera201]

Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMZ8GX3M2A2133C11R)

Is it compatible with MSI Mpower Max?

Yes , but u'll probably have to OC it to 2133MHz

Yes , but u'll probably have to OC it to 2133MHz

...and if I use it without OverClocking, what speed would I get?

 

[chimera201]

1600MHz
If u don't plan on OCing then this is the better
Corsair DDR3 4 GB(1 x 4GB) PC RAM (CMV4GX3M1A1600C11)

@probal okay thanks. but is this website trustworthy. I've never heard of it.

@probal okay thanks. but is this website trustworthy. I've never heard of it.

Yes primeabgb is good. Only thing is that the website is very buggy and has no good filters.

 

[Shekhar Suman]

i find the prices quoted on this website a bit on higher side. is there any other website like this one?

and theitwares.com very buggy site

@probal okay thanks. but is this website trustworthy. I've never heard of it.

primeabgb is a great site. y dont u pay a visit to local stores and see wat they r charging. there r good stores in cities where u even get a great deal. last august i ws busy building 2 performance rigs, i got most parts frm a local dealer at a really gud difference frm the prices mentioned in flipkart and primeabgb. rates change every 2 hrs if u step in marketting for parts!!!
its fun shopping for parts. but confusing. coz in websites everything is laid out in front of u with ample options available as per ur need...but at stores options r few but they all r tested out and they have enuff trust that it wont fail..
if you stay in mumbai then i can hook you up with a good dealer.
if u want u can save a huge amount on desi cases like bijli and aviators from zebronics. they r some gud cases. but bijli is too flashy.if nt indian then antek makes some pretty solid cases at entry level. source, x1 and v1 are all good.
few local brands makes gud psu's too...like VIP. it has some decent supplies. but i wnt want u to take chance on PSU. so Corsair is the way to go.

Prices in shops are not very less - maybe a little less but not very less. The first thing u should do is check the part numbers. For example consider Geforce GTX 760 by MSI. There are 9 models of it:
N760 2GD5/OC ITX
N760 TF 2GD5
N760 HAWK LE
N760 TF 4GD5
N760 HAWK
N760 TF 4GD5/OC
N760-2GD5/OC
N760-2GD5
N760 TF 2GD5/OC
All of these models are different and are priced differently. Out of these N760 TF 2GD5, N760 HAWK , N760 TF 2GD5/OC are the good ones. So if u thought that u got a product at a lesser price from a shop think again.
The other important thing is to look out for 'jhol' products like these
