Also suggest a SSD for the config.

Intel Core i3 4150 -7500,
Zotac GTX750Ti 2GB -11800,
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4GB 1600MHz -2700,
Gigabyte B85M-D3H -5000,
WD Caviar Blue 1TB -3800,
Deepcool Tesseract -2700,
Corsair CX500 -3500.
TOTAL -37,000.

S

Graphic card is too costly..suggest some other opyions.. Also suggest a SSD

B

ZOTAC NVIDIA GT 730 2GB 2 GB DDR5 Graphics Card:Amazon:Electronics

i3 4150 - 7k (?)
Gigabyte GA H81 USB3 - 4k
GT 730 - 5k
Antec VP450p - 2.5k
WD Blue 1 TB - 3.5k
Deepcool Tesseract - 3k
Corsair Vengeance 4GB - 3k
Samsung Evo 850 128GB - 5.5k

S

SSD can be of less capacity also..I don't need 128GB.

S

Can I consider 8GB or 16GB?

siddhant.dash007 said:

Buying them would be a waste of money, get the Samsung 840 Evo 120 gb ssd and 750 ti minimum. for rest of the config, go with [MENTION=271931]adityak469[/MENTION]'s suggestion.

Edit: you won't require GPU for CS 1.6, i can play it on my 7 year old lenovo r61 with >30 fps in lowest settings. :lol:

But do consider the 750 ti just in case if you play other games too. Add the GPU later.

OT: I'm from Raipur too. :thumbs:

S

Playing is not the problem

S

Actually we don't want lags in our server....so we need such configuration

S

So I think I cab get now the 128GB SSD and later I will get a 1TB HDD

Hey siddhant.dash007,

I agree with SaiyanGoku. As per your need, I‘d also recommend you not to go with high configuration for the basic game. If you are planning to play other games like COD, GTA5 and etc, then go with the GPU and SSD.

In terms of CS lagging, Intel P4 and 1GB RAM are good enough to run. If there is a lagging, please check your network configuration, as it may be due to a bottleneck somewhere on the network itself. The motherboard [MENTION=271931]adityak469[/MENTION] suggested already has LAN card capable of 1000Mbit.

According to my opinion, no need to go for SSD in the basic system. The SSD will improve loading times but not much else. It is flash memory and access information much faster as there are no moving parts such as the drive head that reads a disk. As for other performance, you should not see a significant impact in graphic processing.

Hope it helps.

750Ti will be wasted for CS.

Not only I want to play cs,but later I wish to play COD,battlefield GTA5 etc.So now can you suggest me the best configuration??

what SaiyanGoku said then.

For later (assuming >=4 months), you can skip on the gpu now and get 950 or 950 ti when and if it launches around the same 11-12k price.

S

Therefore I am going with adityak469's config...I will get the GPU later

Ok.
Buying locally or online?

S

Online

S

what do you say,is it OK? No problems in future??

S

But reviews for Gigabyte GA H81 are very poor.Please suggest some other

S

I am talking about reviews on flipkart

S

May I ask another question that is everyone here recommends Antec PSUs and not Corsair..but when I see the reviews on all online shopping websites,they are all in positive wrt corsair. Please can anyone explain this??

We recommend PSU's not companies. We suggest what's best at the required price. Corsair's entry level VS and CX are not very good. CX is fine if you cannot find anything else.

GA H81 is a fine mobo.if you want, you can go with B85 mobos like Asus B85 D3H amd the Gigabyte alternative too. But IMHO, GA H81 would suffice. Also there won't be problems in the future with the rig.

Antec VP series uses better components than Corsair VS series. As Harshil said, we recommend PSUs, not companies. Corsair too has great PSUs like the TX and RM series.

One more thing... Should I wait for Broadwell processors since it is anticipated to come in next 2-3 months??

i donlt think it will affect an i3 4150. Go with i3 IMO

R

I was also looking for a PSU. And belive me, after a lot of research I found that inspite of positive reviews corsair vs and cx series are not good enough to last more than 3yrs. The main components that define the age are the capacitors used. Those caps used consists of capxcon and other low end companies. And are just made in such a way that during the 3yrs warranty they will work. And soon after die out, forcing you to buy a new unit.

These unit have more chance to fail as compared to psus from antec like the vp series. They have used all japanese caps etc. Which would even last more than 5yrs at about the same price or Rs300-400 more I would suggest an antec.

Also, note that corsair warranty is supposed to be the best. But, antec built quality Is way better and you might not need to avail the warranty at all.

I would recommend a vp450p. Its atleast equivalent to the much costlier seasonic psu for the same capacity and corsair can't match its quality.

Can some one tell me about Broadwell? Should I wait for it??

No use in waiting for Broadwell just go with Haswell Config buddy.

G3220? (._.)

i3 4150, H81, GTX750, 4GB RAM, WD Blue, Tesseract and VP 450p is wayyy better than that IMO.

As OP extended his budget so he can get this:
