i find this. Sometimes they are gonna discontinue the white 500R. as they've done it for 500r black. ( costs 8379INR (143$))

For whenever they get the Bitfenix Merc Alpha USB 3.0 back in stock, I get $76 for it and two of the linked Deepcool fans (a bit under Rs. 4500). The Corsair would be a nicer case to work in, but that's Rs. 3500-4000, and the Bitfenix will cool just as well, and hold all the parts just fine.

SSD let me check whether i cud set the things within budget

If going for an O/S drive, rather than trying to make the most of SRT, the Samsung 840 non-Pro will be fine, and is one of the cheapest. Unless you know you'll have 150GB+ data to work on very soon after building, IMO, get the bigger SSD, and add an HDD later, to keep costs from going too high right now. A bigger SSD, not filled to the brim, will maintain better performance, have lower wear as you write to it, and you get a lot more room on it (of course).

I'll be the first to try to knock SSD zealots down a peg or two, but if you are set on the SSD, go for it, period. An SSD is no panacea, but all those times you've seen the HDD light flicker at you, and force you to wait, will be history, for everything that can fit on the SSD.

The link you have listed as a Gigabyte motherboard actually just goes to the GPU again.

The Gigabyte is the way to go if you're looking to do a Hackintosh. I found lots of success stories with the Gigabyte, but crickets for the MSI.

Thanks for the info. What do u mean by crickets?

Sorry, it's a colloquialism. Crickets are little bugs that make a chirping noise at night. If you "hear nothing but crickets", that means there is no other sound around.

tat means , msi is very silent when it functions!

No, it means there's been no word, positive or negative, about using the MSI boards for such a machine; whereas mfenn has heard success stories of Gigabyte's EUFI/BIOS implementation.

Personally, I have no idea. The allure of a hackintosh is one of those things I simply do not understand.

P.S. Fittingly, tonight is the first night of year, where I am, that the crickets are out chirping.
