Corsair VS has a lot of negative reviews. Go for Antec VP

W

get coolermaster elite 311.forget about availability of nzxt cabinets under Rs.5000.

Nzxt guardian is available under 5k. But cable management will be a headache.

Here is my suggestion:-

AMD FX-4300 @ 6.4K
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 @ 4.1K
Kingston HyperX 1600MHz 4GB X 1 DDR3 @ 2.6K
NZXT Source 210 Elite @ 2.4K
Antec VP450 PSU @ 2.6K
Sapphire R5 240 1GB GDDR5 GPU @ 5K

Total: 23.5K

And a warning: Think twice before going with Bavusani's suggestion. He normally suggests whatever he has purchased without understanding or researching the quality of the products. For example, Corsair VS series PSus are the cheapest and the lowest quality model from Corsair and nobody here recommends it. If you check some other threads here, you will find out that Bavusani has recommended that crap VS series everywhere and other forum members has corrected it, not one or two times, but everytime. Reason, since he has a VS series PSU which he has purchased recently, everybody must have it.

Actually Antec is not available here.But Thermaltech is available.can i go with it?

You can buy online. The whole range of Antec PSUs are available in Flipkart.

this looks good but I think in place of FX4100 Op Should go for FX6300 because performance per cost ratio will be much higher in the later. and there is not huge differance in the price. FX6300 should be around 7.5k online

Also cooler master elite 311 has no USB 3 .

W

you will not get any usb 3.0 front port cabinet within 3k.frankly speaking why do you even need such a cabinet for a 22k build unless you plan to upgrade in near future in which case you need to extend your budget to get a better cabinet.you can still use motherboard usb 3.0 ports in the back of cabinet.

Cooler master elite 344?

Also will u tell me abt thermaltake psu?

Cooler Master Elite 344?

Regarding the choice of PSU, share the exact model number of the Thermaltake PSU you are opting for. We can't say about the quality of all the Thermaltake PSU available out there. But ya, Thermaltake does make quality products.

And as suggested by vijju6091, getting FX-6300 @ 7.4K is a real good upgrade over FX-4300. So if you can spend extra 0.8K, just go for it.

W

coolermaster elite 344 has top mounted psu(bottom mounted is the norm now-a-days),no atx mobo compatibility & only 148mm cpu cooler height(almost all good cpu coolers require more).all this just to get 1 usb 3.0 port is not worth it in my opinion but it is your choice.

Then you suggest which one to buy under 3000??

W

i already suggested Cooler Master Elite 311.

S

Ok.then i will go for cm elite 311

H

You can get CM N200 @ 3k. Supports USb3.0 at front too

it is cheaper here *www.snapdeal.com/product/antec-vp450p-smps/1251897.
there will be no problem when you buy online. only thing is that you need to contact the corresponding service center instead of the shopwala. every details to contact will be available on respective websites and you can contact through e-mail when it is urgent. only thing is that you may need to pay the courier charges(Except WD hdd where you dont need to pay a penny. dont know about other products doing the same). anyway even if you buy from a shopkeeper, you will have to pay the courier charges+additional charges after 1 years as most shopkeepers ensure 1 year warranty. and i dont think your product will get affected within one year. anyway nothing cant be predicted. hope for the best.

Also cooler master elite 311 has no USB 3 .

What problems will there be if you get the product from flipkart?

Ive researched a bit and found the following cabinets ~ Rs 3k which may suit your need
Bitfenix Merc alpha (Price 3.1k) BEST cabinet, recommended
Cooler Master 311 - Rs 2.2k
Antec X1 - Rs 2.5k *Not recommended*
Antec V1 - Better than X1, decent cooling, no cable management (USB 3.0)
Antec X1 - T - Rs 3k Decent cooling, cable management plus sidepanel.. No reviews for this yet USB 3.0
NZXT Gamma - Rs 2.5k Rare because it's discontinued

Choose whatever you find best

S

No particular reason. Probably it is the latest i3 from intel

Then please clarify what you do you want in the 1st place...best config possible at your budget or the latest model from Intel?

I3 4130 costs around 7.2k.so there is no problem. And will u tell me abt the reviews of msi motherboards?

MSI is gone from India,no more official after sales support.

^^ No no, that has been clarified here, MSI is still providing proper warranty support for their components.

And regarding i3, there is no doubt that 4th Gen Core i3 provides better gaming performance in some games but in games which are multi-threaded in nature or can use 4 or more CPU cores perform far better in FX-6300. Most of the demanding games like Crysis 3, Metro last light, Tomb Raider are multithreaded in nature and FX-6300 does have a good advantage over there

a quote from an msi rep rhyansy

rhyansy said:
Hi there! im MSI representative for India. MSI MB/VGA has continued its operation in India all these years. But it was MSI NB division that has closed operations. Don't worry, we're planning a relaunching already the second half of the year.

Rest assured, all our after services are still in place with SmartLink and its subsidiaries throughout India.

If you need anymore updated information about MSI, feel free to PM me or follow our fan page: *www.facebook.com/MsiIndiaClub

Personally I would still avoid MSI. Even if they are back, their A.S.S isn't good at all
I'd recommend gigabyte

branded pcs used to cost more. you are getting a 3rd gen i3 which is already getting EOLed. always go for the latest gen.2gb ram nowadays is a joke. you just need 500gb?? 1tb is just rs 500 more.

Ouch, actually, i don't really understand why after service is so much a priority in India. In other countries, once the lifespan is up with an electronic device, there's no point of repairing it as it costs more than to just purchase a more powerful upgrade. electronics quality from most brand vendors for PC, like MSI, has only about less than 1% failure rate, that means quality is assured for its lifespan. If it does fail, usually its replaced brand new as long as its within 7-10 days, the normal buying procedure. Please enlighten me...

rhyansy, let me clarify, why people are here much sensitive about the A.S.S.: It is not because of the company or the manufacturer of the products but the third party vendors who provide warranty in different locations and enforcing their own policy instead of following the Parent companie's guidelines. In certain regions, some of the most prominent hardware making companies assigned vendors used to provide such a bad service tthat we, here were forced to start a rebelion against them, creating a RMA watch thread etc. After some time, those things actuall y noticed by Offcial company reps like you are and then they took certain steps to rectify it.
For example, the way you are saying that getting a replacement product.....it is very very hard to get in some areas and I am talking from my experience in Bhubaneswar. My previous motherboard went kaput for two times and each time the service guys never accepected my request for a new motherboard and instead they just repaired the board in theirlocal workshop and given it back to me. Now for one time, it is okay but for multiple times and too for the same reason.....I thought that time that I deserved a new one.
