11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: The budget was originally 35k extended it to 50 k, I can definately wait on Hard Drive if there is a lot of room for improvement in other components. Moreover i want pros and cons of Intel dual core instead of I series.

Here you go.... Prices are only indicative which I've taken from flipkart.com/mdcomputers.in/primeabgb.com. You may find cheaper deals if you call them up and buy from only one vendor (they'll give you good discounts) and that way you can save almost 3k.

i want something that runs games on high settings in full hd.
would a better grafix card (hd 7850) compensate for a humble processor like intel dual core g61 :|

If you can do away with Overclocking, then I would suggest the below rig. You can change the motherboard to Asus P8B75-V @6.5 if you want an ATX board as the one I'm suggesting is mATX to fit into the budget. :)

Can anyone squeeze in both amd fx 8150 and amd hd 7850 in 50 k mark?
i m really frustrated by these high prices of intel boards. fx 8150 has higher performance benchmarks than ivy bridge i5 and 3k cheaper then why not anyone suggesting amd in thise whole forum :/
I dont really need any overclocking as long as games run seamlessly in 1920x1080.

Per core performance of Intel i5 processors are much better than FX 8150. Most of the games will use only single core. So, Intel is better for gaming. But at the same time, often games are bottlenecked by GPU than CPU. I dont have any stats, but I have read that fx8150 will not bottleneck even two 7850s in crossfire. So, I assume that fx8150 is not a bad choice for gaming. Correct me if I am wrong.

There are many good options with intel H77/Z77 based boards. The options and availability of good boards with AMD 970/990X/990FX are less.

Add Gskill ripjaws X for 3k instead of sniper and BenQ G2220HDL for 7.6k instead of dell /aoc

+1 for the build
@OP dude its good build and if you go local shopping you can squeeze this to around 50k or 51K
and Intel processors are better for other tasks then amd ( talking about current generations)
so this setup will give you more performance then other one...
and gaming performance will be almost same or little better but not less...


cheers!

Guys i just cant stretch my budget above 50000 bucks at all costs. Already borrowing from my buddies :)
Moreover I got to have a UPS as i live in Gurgaon. Make some room for that too in 50000.
Moreover is i5 2500 stands toe to toe to AMD fx 8150 which is 2k cheaper than i5.
Just cant make up my mind bw amd cpu/mobo combo and i5/mobo combo. :-(
