Well Core i3 3225 has Intel® HD Graphics 4000 GPU in CPU itself.

CPU (HD 4000) rendering performance
Cinebench R11.5: Index score: Higher is better
INTEL CORE I3-3225: 3.25
AMD FX-6200: 4.32
AMD A10-5800K: 3.05

CPU (HD 4000) encoding performance
X264 v4.0: FPS: Higher is better
INTEL CORE I3-3225: 18.82
AMD FX-6200: 27.81
AMD A10-5800K: 18.83

CPU (HD 4000) gaming performance:
Batman: AC: FPS: Higher is better
INTEL CORE I3-3225: 126
AMD FX-6200: 110
AMD A10-5800K: 74

Processor- Intel Core i3 3220 - 7.1k
Motherboard- Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H- 4.2k
GPU - MSI hd7770 (8000)
RAM- Corsair 4GB (should i buy 1333mhz or 1600mhz?)- 1.4k for 1333mhz and 1.57k for 1600mhz GO for 1600 MHz
OPTICAL DRIVE- Samsung SH-224BBDVD Burner- 1k

Cabinet & SMPS- Local Brand- 1.7k Corsair CX430v2 430 W SMPS and any local cabinet.
UPS- APC 600 VA (2200)

DO NOT go for local psu's they may fry your pc.tioned is the least you should go for.The one I've menrt

S

ok guys so should i buy
WD Caviar Green 2 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (WD20EZRX) - WD: Flipkart.com
or
Seagate Barracuda 2 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (ST2000DM001) - Seagate: Flipkart.com

or i should go for some 1tb of same price of above

WD cause the service is way better than the Seagate's.

S

But i heard that this hard disk will create problems while playing games..is it true?? Although i dont mind a bit less copy speed...

No.It wont create problem. But when playing games your load times might be longer,but definitely no FPS issues,things dont work that way.

For all around great performance and warranty of 3 years get the Toshiba DT01ACA200 2 TB at Rs 5850.

Does wd green not have and performance issues or reliability as there is too much header parking, or is that a past story?

Toshiba 2TB = Itdepot.com
HD 7770 = GIGABYTE GV-R777OC-1GD GRAPHIC CARD

harshilsharma63 said:

It still does park the head when not in use,but the failure rate has gone down. Im using one one for storage WD10EADS for 4 years now,no issues,fingers crossed.

7.9k is the price at lamington road, mumbai... I just helped my friend buy one from there 2 weeks ago...

We were getting 7750 for 6.7k and 7770 for 7.9k...

Itdepot's site is under construction... I had visited it some time ago for posting the link... Hope it comes back soon...

Am I too late in posting this thread?
@OP : have you already bought it. If not, then I've some suggestions for your rig.

S

no..my dad was busy today

any suggestions are welcome, tomorrow most probably 101% sure

Component	Maker	Price
CPU	AMD A10-5800 (integrated HD7660D)	8200
Motherboard	Asus F2A85	5600
RAM	G-Skill RipjawX 8GB 1600 MHz CL9 (2x 4GB)	2650
HDD	WD Black 1TB	5700
ODD	Asus DVD Writer Black	1000
Chassis	NZXT Source 210	2600
PSU	Corsair CX430V2	2350
UPS	APC 600VA	2600
	Total	30700

Notes:

1. Suggested 1TB HDD.
2. If you really want 2TB of HDD, then buy 2 of those 1 TB WD Black drives and drop one 4GB RAM from your config.
3. No extra graphics card suggested to make a balanced rig for your needs without sacrificing the scope of future upgradation.
4. If you want to add some ~15K graphics card to your system in future, then I would suggest you to buy Corsair GS600 @4.5K instead of CX430V2 as PSU.

Optional upgrade:

1. Logitech G400 @1.4KP.S. Don't ask me why I'm suggesting you this, the need of good gaming mouse just came into my mind.

@souvikroy1111,given the fact that tomorrow you are going to purchase the rig 101% for sure,you could think about the rig(configuration) as posted by d6bmg.

ULTIMATELY YOUR DECISION + CHOICE FINALLY IN THIS(PURCHASE) MATTER.
NOBODY ELSE... :wink:

A10 5800 - Rs 5200 :shock:

( its cheaper than US, Newegg too!!)
G-Skill RipjawX 8GB 1600 MHz CL9 (2x 4GB) - Rs 2650
Corsair CX430V2 - Rs 2350

Where are you getting these prices from?????

S

The lowest price I got for AMD A10 5800K is 7.5K + 5.5 % = Rs.7910 at Golchha computers, SP Road Bangalore......where can we get it at 5.2K?

^^ Thats the correct price you have paid for. Rs 5200 is a bit too far fetched IMO.

Sorry.

I thought that I have typed 8 instead I typed in 5 .

Thanks for reminding me about the price at flipkart.

About the price of RAM & PSU, they are the price of Kolkata.

Even I happen to live in Kolkata. Thats why, where in Kolkata are you getting those amazing prices. Vedant's Mr Singh (owner/partner) isnt aware of the Gskills prices being so low ,since recently RAM prices have gone up.And the Corsair prices are also atleast Rs 150 less. Amazing. Please share with us the place or the retailers name.It would be of great help indeed.

The A10 5800K price of Rs 5200 was typod two times by you, I really thought that may be there was a price slash or somethiing !!!
