Here is my suggestion:
buy wd green (64mb cache) 1tb or seagate 1tb instead of toshiba. Reason not sure about performance and after sale service of toshiba drives.
buy nzxt gamma for 2.4k or nzxt source 210 elite for 2.7k and save some money.
for monitor i think you can go for benq gl2240hm for 8.3k by using the saved money.
Rest config is good
Hope this helps :)

I like your proposed config, except for the few bolder points:

1. Price of 4GB RAM is too high. It should be ~1.5K
2. Instead of Gigabyte HD7770, get Sapphire HD7770 or MSI HD7770. Cause, Gigabyte is having wired issues with RAM lately.
3. Don't buy Toshiba HDD only because its cheaper or the shopkeeper is offering you. Either go for WD Blue 500GB @3.4K or Seagate 1TB 7200.12 @4.5K
Again, don't buy WD Green as it is infamous of failing quickly and thus it is said to have reliability issues.
4. Think about NZXT Source 210 @2.6K (If it is available at your place)
5. Dell ST2420L @8.4K
If you want anything withing 8K, then Dell ST2220L @8K

Why not Toshiba HDD? I hope you know Toshiba offers 3 years of product warranty and they have already taken over the 3.5" HDD manufacturing from WD already. So now on, you will be receiving Toshiba HDD only instead of WD warranty. Not to mention, WD Blue 1 TB HDD are extremely rare to find and their Green is poor in performance.

You are not sure that dosnt mean Toshiba is bad. Toshiba has invented a lot of technologies regarding HDDs and its evident in how all modern HDDs work even the one inside your PC!

I would suggest a Toshiba instead of a Seagate ,though good products of late ,but pathetic after sales support. Moreover Toshiba ofers 3 years of warranty over the 1 year by Seagate and 2 years by WD.

And whatever WD you suggest chances are that they are made by Toshiba!!!

So now on, you will be receiving Toshiba HDD only instead of WD warranty. Not to mention, WD Blue 1 TB HDD are extremely rare to find and their Green is poor in performance.

AFAIK, Toshiba offers 2 years of warranty. And Toshiba bought a part of 3.5" HDD manufacturing share from WD.
And the reason I'm not suggesting Toshiba because I didn't really see anyone having RMA with toshiba or how their RMA process is. Yes, their pricing is low, but low pricing doesn't mean their RMA procedure will be as good as WD or Seagate.
Correct me if I'm missing something here.

And you say we will be receiving Toshiba HDD instead of WD after RMA? I didn't get it. :-|

As I am buying from nehru place and when i checked the price list the price of s2240l was listed for 8360 that means i will get it for that much? ^_^
Or do i have to pay extra tax on that? :O
if yes,then after tax what will be the net?
LCD LED Monitor Price in Nehru Place Computer Market - Latest LG LED, Samsung LED, AOC, Viewsonic LED Monitor Price today

1. There is no discussion going on about the choice of HDD. You can suggest, choice is yours.
2. RipjawsX. It is better overclocker and cheaper than Vengeance.
3. Couldn't you find Dell ST2240? If not then, go for Sell ST2220L.

Regarding HDD, WD sold its 3.5" HDD manufacturing process to Toshiba and from recent future, there won't be any WD 3.5" or WD desktop HDD will be produced and Toshiba HDD will flood the market. So there is ahigh chance, in future if you submit a WD HDD for RMA process, you might receive a TOshiba HDD as WD has stopped manufacturing it and Toshiba will do it for WD. :)

Your config is really good for that budget....1TB WD BLUE WD10EZEX is available for Rs.3800 you can go for it IMO.

One question dude...the prices that you have quoted, is it inclusive of taxes or what? If those are the prices inclusive of vat thats really great.

Have a look at this cabinet

Future games & applications will be multi-threaded and need more cores and future STEAMROLLER processors also are based on the same chipset(AM3+), So if you need to upgrade then you only have to change the CPU.Right.

so..
Absolutely wrong, AMD's are very good overclockers, particularly the fx 8350, it has 3 entries in the top 5 cpu frequency overclocks. I agree that currently Intel is leading the gaming performance but things are changing, game engines are increasingly becoming multi-threaded and using multiple cores more efficiently, and this scenario is ideal for an AMD cpu.

Mar 4, 2013 at 12:20 PM
Dude,thats what i said..my cousin told me that purchase amd if you only want to do overclocking.. which i dun want to do as my cousin said i may burn my components.
so,is the intel rig okay?
when will it get REALLY outdated(YEARS)? ie,when most of the games wont work on my desktop?

thankyou!

We can't say that exactly but if you observe the trend, then a good Quad Core CPU can handle most of the games for at least 3 to 4 years provided you have a good enough Graphics card. For example, 3 to 4 year old Processors like Intel Core i7 920 or Phenom II X4 965 can still play all the games with highest settings when coupled with a powerful GPU.

Dell S2240 = 8,600(got s2240l for 8,600 \m/
Mouse Keyboard = 750

Net : 45,400

ThankYou! :)

get a 3450?

Okay..thanku cilus and incinerator..

Cilus-thanks for your really experienced and high profile replies.
Incinerator- my biggest thankyou for building up of rig is you...yu have helped me alot.
Thanks mate. :)

And considering last 4-5replies from u guys...
I guess my rig is gonna last 5-6yrs?
I mean...wll not get REALLY outdated?
As i wont be able to buy proccy,mobo (maybe) , gpu till atleast 4-5yrs...

see you will be abple to play the games for 3 years max. The rate at which tech is developing its expanding exponentially.... meaning 5 years ago if you bought an equivalent config it would last you a good 5 years, but now its 3. after 2 years itll become 2.

the best part about your rig is that you can change your gpu 2 years down the line, but with the increasing change in architecture every year id suggest to buy a new pc at that time.

your budget allows for a 7770 gpu, its a entry level gpu ... so 2 years from now to play games which are much more demanding you may want to change your gpu.... but this is speculation that 2 years from now pci cards will still exist. so since the pci cards are not available, for better perfomance you cant upgrade your system and as a result you may want to buy a new pc...

like suppose you own a business right now... you have 2 cars.... after 2 years you want to expand... so you dont add bogeys to the cars and make a train out of them, you buy 4 new cars..

i don't think your motherboard features onboard wi-fi-you will need to install a discrete wi-fi adapter card to access wi-fi networks.

Processor :: Intel i3 3220 :: 6600

GPU :: Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card :: 14000

Motherboard :: Gigabyte b75m dh3 :: 4200

RAM :: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB :: 1700

Monitor :: dell 20" LED :: 6800

KB & mouse :: Logitech MK200 :: 700

PSU :: Corsair cx500v2 :: 3600

DVD drive :: asus :: 1000

HDD :: WD Caviar Black 1TB :: 5600

Cabinet :: NZXT Source 210 Elite:: 2700

^Good but I would suggest FX6100.
I know i3 is better in apps but in online gaming i3 ain't that great.
Fx6100 + Gigabyte 970a DS3 rest of the stuffs are same as above.
HD7850 is a very good card for mordern games and is much much better than the HD7770 which the op has planned to buy.

FX6100 paired with a HD7850 will give much much better performence over your i5 + HD7770 combination,the FX6100 + HD7850 would give almost twice the frame rates over i5 + HD7770.
So if you want a gaming rig FX6100+HD7850 is the clear winner.

Oh I see then if you do computing tasks too then yes i5 is much much better than fx6100 but you don't you give fx8350 a try? Its faster in multi tasking over i5.

FX8350 is a better option than i5 3550 thats all I can say,FX8350 has more processing power.

^^ Agreed. If you are willing to pay 10K + for the CPU, get FX-8350 with your eyes closed.
