1 TB SATA @ 4000
Seasonic Eco 600 600W @ Rs. 4300
Dell S2240L @ Rs. 9352
Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB x 1 @ Rs. 2250
NZXT Source Elite 210 @ Rs. 2600
Any Speakers @ Rs. 2000
Any optical drive @ Rs. 1000

Total = 53301

I'm still going over the budget and this is not the final build. I want to keep it under 52k.

I've decided to create a new thread because the configuration in my last thread was going over the budget after adding the price from the online stores and then adding a speaker (My bad). Although Cilus recommended a really good config.

FX 8350 (11500)
Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 (7200)
Corsair value select 4 GB 1600 MHz (1900)
WD Blue 1 TB (3800)
Seasonic S12II 520W (4200)
Asus HD7790 (11000)
NZXT Gamma (2500)
Dell S2240L (8500)
Logitech MK200 (750)

total: 51350

Alternatively, you cn opt for FX 6300 instead and get Asus HD7870.

Can you please also link the stores where you got the prices from? Last time check I checked the price, almost all the products costed more than the prices mentioned.

I'm thinking of opting for NZXT Source Elite 210 for a 100 bucks more. I'm also thinking of going for the alternate route, better gpu, mediocre cpu. Btw, is that RAM good? I was recommended Kingston HyperX Blu last time which costs only 300 bucks more.

That was a very good configuration but now it has become 2k more, after adding the prices from the site you mentioned.

@harshilsharma63: Where have quoted those prices from? Is it local prices?

I'm already over the budget with my current configuration @ 53k. Is 650ti better than 7850 2 GB?

gtx 650ti boost > hd 7850 > hd 7790 > gtx 650ti

Awesome.

Btw, you're talking about the 7850 2GB Dual fan version there, right? This page says otherwise.

I quoted the prices from mdcomputers.in, which of course increased (I checked prices 4 days ago). get FX 6300 instead and go for Asus HD7870.

I will also need a set of speakers under 2k.

Settle with basic Philips headphones for now and save up for speakers. Core parts are more important than including a speaker.

Hmm, I already have a decent set of headphones worth 3.5k. I guess you're right, but best I can do is delay the speakers by few weeks. But again, which one would you recommend?

> Get Seasonic S12II 520W instead of ECO 600.

> Go with WD HDD instead of Seagate; WD's A.S.S. is much better.

> For optical drive, get an Asus.

> You Can also go For Seasonic S12 620w @ 4.5k ..............

One more vote for Asus DVD Drive and WD HDD

S12II 520W is available for 4586 at flipkart.

I was talking about this PSU: Seasonic S12 620w @ 4.5k, the one sainatarajan mentioned.

Btw, is the 520W PSU better than my current PSU? I want to be able to have headroom for future upgrades and overclocking.

Uh..FX 6300 and Asus M5A97 Evo is available at MDComputers with pre-order. When is the stock going to be available? I was planning to buying this configuration in a few days.

^^ Better call them and verify. They don't updte their site in regular basis.

Nope, evo wasn't available a few days back. If its available, post it here.

I found evo at a similar price at the ITDepot, however the processor isn't available at that price anywhere else.

Actually, a few days ago, it was available for that price at mdcomputers, but now the price has increased. try to find it locally.

Yup, it's available. Contacted them and they said it's in stock. Thanks for the heads up!

Update: I can't decide between, NZXT Source Elite 210, NZXT Gamma And BitFenix Merc. Which one would you recommend?

Also, can anyone also suggest a UPS? My apartment already has a generator, but there's a tiny delay between the powercut and the generator powering up (10-20 seconds). I need a PSU which can handle my system at least for a few minutes. Budget is 2k and seperate.

Edit: Had to buy Corsair 200r today from primeabgb because it wasn't available at TheItWares (despite what their site said) and I had to cancel the order.

sygeek, FX-6300 is available @ 7.3K in SMC. Here goes the link: *smcinternational.in/index.php?route=product/product&path=108_116_118&product_id=1509

Already ordered it online through cash on delivery from MD. It's available locally @ 7.2k (I got to know this after I ordered). I asked again today about the prices locally and overall, I think there's a difference of 2.5k. Mobo is available @ 6.5k though he's not sure, and gfx @ 15.5k from powercolor. Previously, when I created the previous thread few weeks back, none of these products were available (or at desired price).

Thanks for the heads up though.

BTW, neither my monitor nor my gpu will come with an hdmi cable, right?

Which GPU you are getting? I got a HDMI cable with my 7950 Vapor-X model.
