That RX 480 is a reference card but there's a great price on it. 180$ for the 8GB version.

Thanks very much Morgan.

However, I don't want to go through the hassle of flashing my BIOS with a B150 MoBo.

It's hard now-a-days here in Bangalore to get hold of someone with a desktop, let alone a friend with Skylake build who would lend me his chip.

It's probably better that I go for the B250 series itself. I thought of going with ASRock B250M Pro4 however, it's white and black and doesn't quite go with the theme. Let me know if there's any other MoBo with similar price range and probably an all black pcb if not black and red

I too am thinking of going for 2 ram sticks but, want to start with one at the moment. I'll add the other in the future post judging the performance of my system.

 

Also, the Bitfenix comrade is not available on Amazon India, even if it did, it would be quite costly.

XFX isn't availble on Amazon India Prime, though it's available through Amazon Global Store, but it wouldn't give any warranty whatsoever for the purchase  

 

Let me just add the budget that my build is going to cost. Pardon me, but it's in INR local currency.

 

CPU: Intel Core i5 7500 7th Gen CPU -- Rs.16250

MoBo: MSI B250M Gaming Pro -- Rs.8400

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 2400MHz single stick -- Rs.4564

PSU: Corsair VS650 650W Power Supply -- Rs.4200

Cabinet: Corsair Carbide Spec1 or Thermaltake Versa n26 -- Rs.3949

Graphic Card: MSI Armor RX480 OC 8GB -- around Rs.23100

HDD: WD Blue 1TB - Rs.3770
