I'll suggest postponing the purchase and saving some more cash to get a full HD monitor with the above rig.

It wont be possible to postpone, will upgrade the monitor later.
And will 4gb ram be sufficient ? :)

Suggest a FHD monitor, I will see if I can increase my budget a bit.

And what about gigabyte ga-970a-ud3 its just a bit more expensive than ds3/d3p, worth spending a bit more ?

I think AMD will suit my budget and will give me the best performance for that price point. If you have any better options I'll like to know. :) :-D

Hi Techies

I am Planning to assemble a budget Gaming Pc with AMD Processor. "AMD 3.5 GHz AM3+ FX 8320" or AMD "4.1 GHz FM2 A10-Series A10-6800K"

I am in the process of choosing Processor and Motherboard first and then the rest one by one when I have money
Love these 2 Processors. But suggest me which one to go for and best Motherboard within the price range of 7-8K

Help Appreciated
