PU: i5 3550 (12000)

Motherboard: Asus P8B75 V (6500)

RAM: G.Skill RipjawsX 1600 MHz 4 GB x2 (1700x2)

PSU: Corsair GS600 (4600)

GPU: Sapphire HD7850 2 GB (14000)

Cabinet: NZXT gamma (2500)

Monitor: Dell st2220L 22" (8300)

HDD: seagate barracuda 1 TB (3500)

Prices are Approx. Check with your Dealer. Stick with i5 if you are a gamer.

You can Opt for Single stick 4GB Ram, Add up 4GB later.

Replace the board with Gigabyte GAB75M @ 2.5K and Spend the remaining and get the HD 7870.

With Intel, you have to go for an after market cooler as the stock cooler's performance is quite poor, especially in the coming months.

And better invest your money in HD 7870 (2 GB) if you wanna game at 1080p.

with an amd rig, you can get better gpu:

fx 8350 (11000)
Asus m5a97 (6900)
G.Skill sniper 1600 MHz 4 GB (1700)
WD blue/seagate barrauda 1 TB (4100)
corsair gs500 (4000)
sapphire hd7950 (22000)
nzxt gamma (2500)

toyal: 50200

^ Bro, HD 7950 is not 20k , with Tax it comes nearer to 22.5K....

bro, pls dont just copy and paste the config . read first before pasting it .. i said that i want a monitor also

Some Changes to rixon.d9 config..-
PU: FX 8350 (11000)
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2 (6000)
RAM: G.Skill RipjawsX 1600 MHz 4 GB (1700)
PSU: Seasonic s12 520w (4200)
GPU: Sapphire HD 7850 2gb
Cabinet: NZXT gamma (2500)
Monitor: Dell st2220L 22" (8300)
HDD: seagate barracuda 500 GB (3100)
Asus DVD rom @ 1k
V Guard 600VA ups @ 1.4k
Total ~ 53k..

Intel Core i5 3470 - Rs 11000
Gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H - Rs 5800
Gskill Ripjaws 4GB - Rs 1975
GPU - Sapphire HD-7870-2GD5-GHz - Rs 16380
HDD - Toshiba DT01ACA100 1TB - Rs 4100
SMPS - Corsair GS500 - Rs 4000
Cabinet - NZXT Gamma - Rs 2200

Monitor - AOC LED 22" (I-2251FWE) IPS panel (1920x1080 LED) - Rs 7800

Total - Rs 54,230

Since your requirement is just gaming, movies and wont spend on a CPU cooler thus no overclocking, you are better off with an Intel.

EDIT : For an UPS get a Mercury 650VA (390Watts) Elite Pro for Rs 1330.Try and get a Antec A20 CPU cooler,over the stock for Rs 600.

Dont believe in their website blindly. You have to call and confirm if you want to buy from them. I have been there on Satday! There are scores of items they mention "In Stock" but actually they dont.

Anyways, just using is as a price reference.

4GB 1600Mhz RAMS are retailing for Rs2K and above,Gskill and the likes......

B

Off topic, but on mdcomputers, there are two prices mentioned, one is the price and the other is the ex tax price, so what is the second price?

I think the First one is Inclusive of tax and second one is exclusive of tax.

B

Exclusive of tax means buying without bill?

The first price of Rs 1768 is what you have to pay as they dont sell anything without the bill. EX tax price is one without the VAT and is for your reference only.

I have these 2 configs now ... which one to choose ??

AMD :

Processor: FX 8350 (11000)
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2 (6000)
RAM: G.Skill RipjawsX 1600 MHz 4 GB (1900)
PSU: Corsair VS650 (3500)
GPU: Sapphire HD 7850 2gb (13300)
Cabinet: Cooler Master Elite 311 (1900)
Monitor: Dell st2220L 22" (8300)
HDD: seagate barracuda 1 TB (3700)
Asus DVD rom @ 1k
V Guard 600VA ups @ 1.4k
Total :- 52k

And, Intel :-

Intel i5 3470 -10200
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H -4100
G.Skill RipjawsX 1600MHz CL9 4GB - 1900
seagate 1 TB HDD -3700
corsair VS650 - 3500
SAPPHIRE HD 7850 2GB - 13.5k
Dell S2220L -8300
CM elite 311 -1900
Asus DRW-24B5ST -1000
Intex 700V UPS - 1400

Total :- 49500 /-

+1 for intel rig

Go with AMD config, its worth spending 2.5K more than Intel. You'll not regret it later.

+1 for intel. Spend 52k and get this instead of HD 7850 2 GB
www.mdcomputers.in/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=837
Avoid VS Series . Get this Seasonic eco 600 w @ 3.9k
Total would be 53K. But dont worry . You wont regret it for sure.

If he is getting Corsair GS500 for Rs 4000 I see no reason to get a Seasonic ECO PSU for Rs 3900 which has way substandard and questionable build quality.

Seasonic ECO is a market specific OEM PSU.While Corsair GS series is available worldwide with better service and RMA history.

IF HE gets the GS500 for 4K then it is a good option.

IMO along with the Intel rig if he cant fit in the HD 7870 he should definitely stick with a GTX660 over a HD7850 any day.

F

i think instead of buying 7870 .. i shud go for tha AMD rig .. coz its more future proof ..

You are going to game and HD 7870 is very good at its price. I see no reason wy u r going for a FX 8350. If you are using all software which core hungry then you can go.

Ya, if OP's requirements' main focus is on Gaming then he should opt for a i5 3470 and a better Graphics card. In fact, going with i5 3470 can let him add the better and more powerful HD 7870 LE/XT Graphics card which is in between 17 to 18K in mdcomputers.in.

These local UPS are crappy and sometimes may even burn your entire PC but you know about APC. Among the 4 monitors Dell is excellent because I am using it right now. No issues none at all.

Bro go wid your Intel Rig and get the HD 7870 2 GB from Mdcomputers for 16.3k and Corsair GS500 for 3.9k. If you can find V Guard UPS get it. Its Rocking . Since you need backup for just 2 mins get the V Guard or Intex one. These can provide Backup upto 10 to 15 mins in idle.

Im having 47" Lg Lv5500 .. and ill be playing games on this tv .. is it possible to play 3d games and watch 3d movies on this tv ???

^^ Thats the reason why you should get a HD7870 in the first place. I had psted a rig for Rs 54000 and that apt for your specific requirement. You are just unnecessarily confusing yourself with needless options.

OK Bro , will go with the intel rig only and a 7870 ... but, can i play 3d movies/games on this tv ??

If your TV is 3D enabled, then you can play games / watch movies on it. Otherwise, you can't. I don't think that specific model is 3D enabled.

Moreover, occasional games on TV are OK, but not recommended on regular basis.

and Corsair GS500 for 3.9k
This is the 3rd time I am suggesting the same thing.
