Hi,

I actually checked with my computer guy and some dealers it seams there is some issue with transcend service center in india and not recommended to purchase their product right now. so I may have to go with thiskingston 120GB SSD

Also locals have recommended to go with gigabyte motherboard since it has got best service center here so I may have to go with gigabyte H81M-S1

Finally it seems I have to cut my cost some where because it is going to cost me around INR 55000 over my budget by INR 5000. I can reuse my HDD 250 GB temporary till I am able to sale my old pc.

I will be buying today or may be tomorrow max. So please give me final recommendation/confirmation.

Thanks...

The V300 isn't great as far as SSD's go, but any SSD is much better than no SSD.

That's correct. It has two rear USB 3.0 ports, but no USB 3.0 front panel header.

You could, but I would not recommend it. The productivity suites that you plan to use are very RAM hungry.

Going with my old hdd drive will hamper my productive apps by much margin?

So should I go with transcend ssd? the one you have recommended last time?

so this is the configuration I bought finally

I5 4440
Gigabyte GA-H81M-S1
Corsair CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10 Ram 8 GB
Seagate 1TB HDD
Antec VP550P
Sapphire R9 270
Antec X1 - T Gaming cabinet
Samsung 850 Evo 120

This is costed me around INR 46000. Thanks for the help guys

The Samsung 850 EVO is a nice drive, good pick! Everything else looks good as well for a gaming and productivity PC on a budget.
