Budget PC Build :/ · DIGIT-ARC

M

22k - Maximum 27k Build . It is for my cousin and is in financial crisis . He has started his B.Tech in Computer Science. But we have limited knowledge in PC build. So I would really like it if someone helps .

Mainly for Programming only. Hopefully it's a bit long term Build. Excluding Monitor, mouse , UPS , PSU and Cabinet . Thank you so much !

Wait 1 month for the Launch of "Pentium G4560" processor in India.. this is the most bang for the buck processor..

Performs almost same as Core i3 6100/Core i5 2300 and will cost only Rs 4700..

Pentium G4560 - Rs 4700
Samsung 750 evo 120 gb SSD - Rs 3600
Corsair 8gb ram - Rs 3800
Asus H110 Motherboard - Rs 4500

You can spend more money on an additional HDD if you need more space later and save money for now ..

I doubt that. May be they are priced cheaper in US, but in India it will cost more I guess.

G4400 launched for Rs 4600 last year , Intel's official price for both g4400 and g4560 is 64 $

All other 7th generation CPU like i3 7100 and i5 7500 also launched at almost similar launch price here in india like last year .. 500-600 rs higher difference due to dollar 66 vs 68 now
So it shouldn't cost more than Rs 4800-5000 , if indian sellers don't price gauge Pentium specifically because of HT

Budget -24.5K

Intel Core i3 6100 -8500,
Gigabyte H100M-S2 -4500,
Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 2400Mhz DDR4 -3500,
WD Caviar Blue 1TB -3500,
Samsung 850 EVO 120GB SSD -4500.
TOTAL -24,500.

That's just my guess based on the past pricing. I may end up being wrong when it's launched in India.
2-2.5yrs back when I was looking, this was the pricing.
Pentium G3220 - 3800
i3 4130 - [STRIKE]8000[/STRIKE] 7100
When I checked last year, the price increased and the new processors were priced @
Pentium G4400 - 4700
i3 6100 - 8700

Both the Pentiums were priced USD 64 and i3s @ 117 USD, but still in India it's priced higher.
Now i3 7100 costs 9300/- in India and it's priced 117 USD in the US and now i3 6100 price is increased to 9000/-

So you see why I doubt it would be priced @ 4700

Yeah you are correct , i think major part of this price increase was Dollar-inr exchange rate rather than suppliers

In 2014 time frame dollar was averaging around 60-61 rs , while in 2016 dollar was averaging around 66-67 rs , and before mid 2013 dollar used to be 55 rs ... now it is 68-69 rs .. this is why i3 6100 price increased to 9000..

XE: USD / INR Currency Chart. US Dollar to Indian Rupee Rate

4700 is lowest estimate though i forgot to include tax to cost2cost price list lol.. , it should be around 4800-4900 ,but not more than 5k
because G4400 is at Rs 4300 right now ..

It's a great deal anyway , makes i3 6100/7100 look like waste of money..

While CPU prices have been constant from manufacturer side , Ram and SSD prices have been rising since may 2016 and are expected to increase further in 2017

april 2016 - Corsair 8b ddr4 - Rs 2700 , now Rs 3600-3700

Why is No one recommending AMD processors ? Aren't they cheaper compared to Intel ? Are they worth it? How different is AMD from Intel ? And what about upcoming Ryzen processor?

Previous AMD proccys are EOL and Ryzen consumer grade CPUs, pricing hasn't been announced yet.

Intel Pentium G4560 is $65 in US but Indian Retailers are listing it for Rs.6500 that means $95 here in India. Its better to go with Intel Core i3 7100.

[MENTION=325311]mvk3772[/MENTION],that is because of our mindset.
Intel is no doubt superior and best as a processor and its chipset in the computing world. But AMD is no cr@p or sh!t either. Gone are the days of Athlon-XP CPU by AMD which used to get heated up most ,but nowadays the AMD APU's in particular have a good value for money as it has superior inbuilt GPU ,runs much cooler,energy efficient and are the best solutions for a budget PC build as asked by you.

Where did you get the price? Forget India the CPU is not even in stock in US. Wait a month at-least for it to be in stock and the prices to stabilise. Even at Rs. 6.5k it's good value against i3 7100 at Rs.9.5k

I inquired from local Chenoy Trade Center, Secunderabad vendors about the intended price of G4560 and they said 6.5k
Yes, obviously G4560 @ 6.5k is better than i3 7100 @ 9.5k

G4560 isn't launched yet in USA .. it is supposed to launch around 13 feb.. Usa stores are listing it for 75 $ .. right now this CPU is very limited in Supply from intel
wait till early march for wide availability ,ample supply and prices to stabilise in india

- - - Updated - - -

It has been launched in UK though.. in stock on OCuk

As a comparison G4400 on OC.uk is 60 Pounds

▷ Intel Pentium Dual Core G4400 3.30GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA11… | OcU

and G4560 is 65 pounds

▷ Intel Pentium G4560 3.50GHz (Kaby Lake) Socket LGA1151 Proce… | OcU

Add 6-7 pound difference to Indian prices of G4400 it should still be below Rs 5000 , otherwise this is just simply price gouging on indian seller's part because of less availability right now..

why all keep saying that compare to Pentium (Kaby Lake) series...makes i3 6100/7100 look like waste of money. can some one explain how is technically is different

Till skylake ( G4400 ) , Pentium was only dual core CPU with hyper threading disabled .. The only meaningful difference between Pentium and i3 used to be Hyperthreading .. 2 threads vs 4 threads

With kabylake ( g4560 ) intel has added Hyperthreading to pentium lineup ..
so Cpu performance wise this is very close to i3 6100/7100
g4560 is 3.5ghz , 6100 at 3.7 ghz , 7100 at 3.9 ghz ..

G4560 costs Rs 4600 , i3 6100/7100 around Rs 9000

so you are paying 2x money for only 6-12 % more performance ( hardly noticeable to avg user) .. and this is what makes i3 series over expensive/waste of money now..

Intel Pentium G4560 review: the ultimate budget CPU? • Eurogamer.net

The only difference between i3 and pentium (g4560) now is clockspeeds , Avx/Avx2 instruction set and a better IGPU .. though there are pentiums with same igpu ( hd 630) as i3 like g4600 but these higher priced pentiums usually don't reach indian market..

^^ Coz most of the people dont really bother about AMD processors and are Intel fanboys!

(Brace yourself, AMD fanboys thrashing incoming!)

On serious note: i dont think SSD is required. Its for performance enthusiast people only. Subtract it from bssunilreddy's recommendation and put the money for more useful stuff.

Ryzen hasn't been released yet. ~3 weeks to come here in India, and the cheapest one will be a quad-core costing ~₹8.5K. [my prediction]

My speculation was 12k. After seeing the price of top end models, now it's 10k. :Fingerx:

G

Ryzen 3 1100 which is the lowest model is priced at 129 $ .. my guess would be 10,500-11,000

yes, but quad-core and hexa-core not coming soon.

OP should go ahead with Intel now.

Amd is so Hyped up! That I cannot go with Intel

EDIT: If the speculations are right and Ryzen 5 ( 6 core / 12 threads ) is going to be under 15k and A good Mobo under 6k. Then it is a Best value for the buck. yes of course It may release in April - June but it's worth waiting. So I'm thinking I might wait it out ..

If not buy Intel according to our needs. Right Now! There's no urgency though. I might as well tell my cousin to share my laptop for basic work. I'll see....
