@OP : Games like Crysis 3, COD etc are very demanding and it is higly recommended to have a dedicated GPU. So what's your plan? A 40k rig without GPU so that you can add one sooner or later? Or a rig without GPU to run these games? The latter IMO has very little feasibility.

@sumalatha : Kindly stop quoting the OP's post before suggesting. Or atleast put it in a spoiler

F

planning to add gpu by the end of next month..
I was hoping to get fx8350 some how..

^^ In that case, you won't be able to run the system unless you add a GPU. Neither AMD FX series Processor nor the AMD 9XX (970, 990X and 990FX) chipset based Motherboard come with Integrated Graphics.

F

means I am screwed...

okay lets say if i want my system to run with fx8350.. which is the cheapest gfx that should do the job considering my daily usage and excluding the gaming?

Or should i go with cheaper rig may be intel with inbuilt gfx and upgrade after few months to fx8350 or latest by that time??

B

You can get a Radeon HD 5570 or a 6670, costing between 3 and 5 K.

You can't buy an Intel rig and upgrade it to an AMD one later, the motherboard will have to be changed along with the processor.

Get the i5 now, and add a graphics card later. But for games like Crysis 3, you'll need something like HD 7850 to run it at 1080p.

A GT 610 @ 2.5K will do.

Since you are buying the GPU within one Month, spend as little as possible for the temporary GPU. GT 210, HD 5450 are the GPUs which are available within 2K (around 1.8K). Get one of those. They are okay for Full HD content decoding.

F

any idea about the prices in delhi?? For the whole setup? Should i buy it online?? If yes site refrence would be great.

You can go to Nehru Place and Check .

F

okay I'm going with Fx-8350
motherboard Asus M5A97
WD 500 GB HDD
Dell 20"
Gfx - GT 210/ HD 5450 [Upgradation soon]
keep Ram to 4gb
so what should be the rest of the components???
How important is UPS???
Any other fans needed???

Also How much will be the approx cost of this complete rig??

FX 8350 : 11500
Asus M5A97 : 6700
WD 500 GB : 2900
HD 5450 : 1800 (get HD6450 at 2300 instead if you'll not be upgrading soon)
Dell 20" LED : ~6500
Corsair value select 4 GB 1600 MHz : 1900 (1333 MHz will come for about 1800, so you should get 1600 MHz ram as the price difference is very low)

PSU: Corsair CX430V : 2600
Optional: APC 600 VA UPS : 2200

total: 33900 (36100 including UPS)

I would suggest to get a UPS as it is very useful in protecting the pc from abrupt power.

okay Now I have increased my budget to 40k, but i wouldnt be going any further above it.
So are there any changes should i do???

FX 8350 : 11500
Asus M5A97 : 6700
WD 500 GB : 2900

GT 210 (1800)

guys what about cabinet??
how is antec x1???
i could go for a lil stylish cabinet.

and I am going with HD 6450?

Can it handle some of the games atleast like FiFa, NFS, COD?

I'm buying it today itself.. So any final advice or changes would be great???

Budget is 42k i guess.

and final rig is like this--
FX 8350
Asus M5A97 EVO R2
WD 500 GB
corsair vengance 4 GB 1600 MHz
Corsair GS600
HD6450
ASUS DVD R/w
Dell st2240L 22" LED monitor or Acer or samsung???
cabinet???

B

Get HD 5570 instead of 6450 if possible. As for monitor, get Dell. How come you changed the PSU to 600 watts; 500 watts should be enough.

F

Hd 5570 is better than 6450???
I thought GS600 would be better when I upgrade the GPU??

Corsair CX500v2 will be more than enough.

Sapphire HD7870 available for ~16-17k if possible, else, Zotac GTX660 2 GB.

HD 7870 @ 16K is the best choice.

get 7870 XT if possible

F

okay HD 7870 is final.
also need one more small suggestion regarding a headphone -- budget 2.5-3k
Personally i like steel series siberia -- design wise ofcourse... but I would like to have a few options.
It should be comfortable and should be easily available online or in local stores.
I know there is separate section for audo/headphones.. but didnt felt like creating a new thread for it.
Got to buy tomorrow..

JBL Tempo J04W Over-the-ear Headphone - JBL: Flipkart.com

add this in the list as well.
