Fill the questionnaire.
You current ram is incompatible with newer CPUs.

I can kind of get a motherboard right which have both slots ddr3 and ddr4

Won't matter if the CPU doesn't support it.

What is your budget for both the GPU and PSU?

Please answer the Questionnaire buddy:Asking for new PC help? ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS FIRST
So that we can help you better. Please fill it up 1st!

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans:cs go and dota2 6 hours daily minimum.College project light programming and presentations.Last for entertainment videos

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans:23k is my budget but can extend 5 k or some more if only worth it

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans:I am happy with my casual games but new games may require it but not required if daily games work best

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans:Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans:i have 500 gb @5200 rpm

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans:i have a monitor 20 inch already and cs go goes around 1600 x 900

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans:i have monitor,hdd,8gb corsair vengeance ddr3 ram,keyboard n mouse

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans:This week at most.Can buy asap as finalized

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans:i have good knowledge of where the parts go but i am scared coz i never assemble a whole unit myself so will require an assembler

10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans:I live in chiplun but i am in Mumbai for this whole week.I dont care where i get it from until it fits my budget and it is authentic and reliable.Hence,lamington road is good idea

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: i have a dead asus k53sm-010d laptop.My local laptop repairman made it dead while trying to repair a charging port issue.only solution is motherboard replacement cost around 15k and replace battery-charger costing another 5k.

Thus the whole point is to repair my old laptop for 20 k or get a new computer

Budget -38.5K

Intel Core i3 7100 -8600,
Asus Prime B250M-Plus -7750,
Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 2400Mhz DDR4 C16 -4450,
Zotac GTX1050 Ti 4GB Mini -11600,
Deepcool D-Shield -2650,
Seasonic Eco 430w -3450.

TOTAL -38,500.

OP cannot go with AMD Ryzen Processors since they don't have integrated GPUs and the cheapest Ryzen Processor is 14k. So OP cannot afford AMD Ryzen. It's best to go with Intel Kabylake Processors.

Don't ever go with Corsair VS Series SMPS. They are simply crap.

Even Corsair CX430w @ 3.7k is better than VS450w SMPS. Zotac GPUs offers 2+3 years warranty. Corsair offers 10 years of warranty on its RAMs. Seasonic offers 3 years warranty. Both Intel & Asus offers 3 years Warranty. Don't deviate from the suggested components.

Best Shops in Lamington Road to buy are as follows:

1. Computer Selection,

2. Primeabgb,

3. MAC IT Solutions,

4. Cassette World India Pvt Ltd.

Tips to buy best & compatible components:

Rule 1: Don't buy from a single shop, survey and buy from the shop that offers you the best price,

Rule 2: Research the exact products you want and a few alternatives, cause the shopkeepers are very suggestive (Don't listen to them),

Rule 3: Contrary to another answer, retail shops are much cheaper compared to online market places and also there is room for bargain,

Rule 4: If they tell you that, you can save money by not collecting the bill don't listen to them, you won't get the warranty then,

Rule 5: Don't settle for secondary products of cheaper quality, cause it would be a waste of money,

Rule 6: Make sure all your parts are compatible with one other.

Replace i3-7100 with G4560, save some 4k (if you can find it).
Don't go below a 1050Ti.

How about Motherboard-MSI H110M PRO - VD
Price: Rs. 4,300 (approx)

H110 motherboards need bios update before being used with Kabylake processors. Who will do the update using Skylake processor.

When you use any Kabylake processor, the motherboard won't even boot or post.

Has only 2 RAM slots and fewer USB 3.1 ports. Better to go with the B250 mobo suggested above.

It supports ryzen 5 so the decrease in motherboard cost increases my budget for the amd processor. I am going today evening or tommorow morning on laminton road to survey the cost thus have to finalize by build by then

B250 and H110 are intel chipsets and have LGA1151 socket. Ryzen CPUs are based on AM4 (PGA1331) socket. Who told you it supports ryzen?

virajdx said:

AMD Ryzen R5 is AM4 which needs B350M motherboard whereas Intel H110M Motherboard is LGA1151 Skylake motherboard and B250M is LGA1151 Kabylake Motherboard.
AMD Ryzen is different from both Intel Skylake & Kabylake motherboards.

Can you give me a budget build with ryzen 5 1500x

Specify a new budget then.

Buddy its very difficult to build a Ryzen 5 1500X system for 20-23k. I suggest you sell your Vengeance DDR3 RAM to get some more cash. 1500X alone will cost 13.8k. A B350 Motherboard is for around 7.5-8k and a 8GB DDR4 2400 MHz module is around 5k.

D

If he is getting an X series chip, he can go with A320 motherboard since budget is tight which should be cheaper if they are available as he won't be doing anymore OC on the chip.

It's very hard to fit your needs in 30k. Aim for following config:

1500X paired with A320 Motherboard/1400 paired with B350 motherboard(1400 is only better value if you overclock which will be possible on B350 boards)

Gtx 1050ti

DDR4 8GB Ram

Seasonic 430W PSU.

Do you need a case as well?

Compare the above 2 builds and it's your choice finally.

So i get it i need to buy 1050 ti graphics and 8gb ram with seasonic power supply as suggested above costing 11.5k ,4.5 and 3.5k respectively with deapcool cabinet around 2.5k
Total 22k
If i want ryzen 5 1500x then costing 13.8 k more
Now total 35.8k and i still need a motherboard while i have already bursted out my budget but i am willing to go to 35k budget coz ryzen 5 worth it and its still not enough.

You will get optimal experience for CSGO/Dota with that price with 150+fps on high. If you can settle with much less, you have to downgrade the GFX/CPU.

What price should i sell my ddr3 corsair vengeance ram 8 gb for?

D

^Put it on sale for whatever price you want. If no one is buying, start giving discounts.

150 fps cs go on high wow that was unexpected .Well i want to know what about high end games like cod latest releases and gta v kind of stuff,how will they work in this build and whats the fate of this build on future games

D

You monitor is 1600 x 900 right? GTA 5 It should do fine 40-50 fps mid/high. No one knows what future holds. You may have to reduce settings to low to play future AAA games at decent framerates. I'm talking about the Ryzen config.

virajdx said:

900p med-high settings (and under) gaming on GTX 1050Ti *should* have similar frame rates to 1080p high-ultra gaming on GTX 1060. If you don't plan to upgrade your monitor, 1050ti is adequate for 768p and 900p gaming (for 3-4 years I guess)
As for optimal price to performance ratio in your budget, 1500x with a good B350 mobo should be preferred since you can OC it, if required, 2-3 years down the line.

About oc whats the best budget motherboard to pair with my build to have oc feature coz rest of it i have a firm idea but the only thing i dont get is the motherboards so can someone explain me and my build on different motherboards with their prices ofcourse
All of you thankyou very much for such quick replies and this deep guidance over my build.You all are making very important decisions in this build which i am spending my saved cash on and god bless you all!
Man i love dgit more then ever

What about amd ryzen vs i5 .specifically i5 6600k.What about i5 compatibility with 1050 ti graphics and what motherboards are compatible.Which intel i series processors is amd ryzen 5 1500x better than .Is intel worth it and pls someone tell me about motherboards and their compatibility with intel i3 n i5 and ryzen 1500x processors

My best suggestion for you regarding your need is

AMD Build:

Budget -30.95K

AMD R5 1400 -12300,
Asus A320M-K -5150,
Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 2400Mhz DDR4 C15 -4000,
Zotac GTX1030 2GB -5300,
Case -ur preference 2-2.5 k,
Antec or cm 450w - 2.2k.

TOTAL -30,950

Since u only need gfx for cs go and dota 2 this should be more than enough ! Don't buy 1050ti now k wait for vega in August if you want better performance

My other suggestion is get a g4560 +h110 and all above except 1030 bcoz intel hd 610 can handle cs go @1600*900 easily and just use it till next few month and buy a new vega gpu k and this will cost u only 17 k

Vega GPUs will cost the same as OPs total budget. Those have GTX 1070, GTX 1080 level performance as evident by *leaked* benchmarks. Better to go with 1050Ti.

My final decision
Ryzen 1500x
Gtx 1050ti
Seasonic 430w
Deapcool cabi
Corsair vengeance ram 8 gb
Still blurry on the motherboard so pls help

I would've picked Asus Prime B350-Plus.

Can u give me the costing of every part so i have a referrence and dont overpay at lamington road

If budget is not isssue, Asus Prime B350-Plus or Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3 B350 boards which are available at 8-8.5k. With these you will be overclock your CPU if needed, which may give you extra 3-5% performance increase. So decide if the cost is worth it. If you don't think the OC perforamance is worth the increase in price and don't need the extra USB ports that come with B350 bords, get the Asus A320 board which is available at 5.5k.

The price of zotac gtx 1050 ti is 16.8 k while you mr bssunnilreddy sir have given price 11.9k so should i aim at 11.9k at bargain on lamington road and which shops should i go to for that price

D

16.8k is ridiculous price for GTX 1050ti. Don't get it at that price.

Thats what i am asking,what price should i aim for while bargaining?11.9k?

virajdx said:

Tell them 11.5k is the max you will give. If they can't match your price, walk over to other shop or order from GRAPHICS CARD
You searched for 1050ti - Prime ABGB.com
Graphic Cards

Prefer the cheapest one from Asus (3), Zotac (2+3), Gigabyte (3), MSI (3), EVGA(3) in that order. Brackets denotes warranty in years

Cooler master makes crap PSUs. Ask for Seasonic S12II 520W or Corsair CX430 price. Get higher clocked ram (2666 Mhz or above). Try to get 1050Ti for 12k or under.

Haven't bought this high cost product from eBay before.

How much is the coupon offer for ?

Is WD Blue 2 TB a good buy if I can't go with WD Black?
Also only the read and write speeds would be less because of low RPM, right ?

5400 RPM is considered low and you can go with 2 WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM drives if you want.

5400rpm drives are good enough as storage drives,go for WD Blue 2TB.

2 Blue 1 TB means 2 power ports and will occupy 2 SATA ports. So thinking of getting a WD Blue 2 TB or I'll just wait for a while and go with 2 TB Black.

Thanks.
Going to order WD Blue 2 TB from eBay (With the code @bssunilreddy gave, thanks bro ) and it's price is less than Amazon. Moreover Amazon's cashback will come after 3 months whereas in eBay, I just need to pay price after reducing offer amount.

Ordered WD Blue 2 TB from eBay for 4.8K.
Thanks.

No need to check regularly but once every month is sufficient.

Install CCleaner and clean excess junk in your PC at least once in a week if not regularly.

Don't defragment your SSD but you can do so in case of HDD.
Defragmenting your SSD actually reduces your SSDs life.

When it comes to data there is no such thing as too much caution,it all comes down to how much data's worth is to a person.For me one month is too long a duration to not worry about running HDD health.Of course if one thinks that the data is not worth it then even 2 months is good enough.

Actually, in my pc I have SSD for OS and a normal HDD for storage and running Win 10. When I open Disk Optimiser, de-fragmentation for SSD is disabled by default and it's available for HDD alone.
But this is not the case with my notebook where I have only SSD and running Win 10. Same Disk Optimiser, there is option to de-frag the Local Disks.
Windows was automatically running de-fragmentation at first and I was not aware of that. Some when read that De-fragmentation destroys SSD and noticed that was happening with my SSD

. Then turned off the optimization.

How the Optimization process helps HDD but poisons SSD ?

Since HDD is a mechanical drive with moving parts like platters and it's mechanism is different from an SSD which is a flash memory.

Without going too much into details,defragmentation is necessary for HDD because in HDD the speed at which data can be accessed is not uniform across entire physical space of HDD.Also data is not stored sequentially but at different places(a 10mb file may have 1mb data in 1 place,2mb data in another place & so on) thus increasing the overall access time.Defragmentation basically puts all these split data parts sequentially in a good location to reduce access time.

For ssd these factors don't apply because of their very high read/write speeds & usage of storage chips spread uniformly.Still if you run defragmentation on ssd,this will only result in unnecessary read/write cycles resulting in more wear & tear of storage chips & thus reducing the life of ssd.

However ssd do get fragmented & win 10 indeed run a defragmentation on ssd once a month but that is fine because windows defragmentation for ssd is based on an intelligent logic & does not harm the ssd.

100k for 1050Ti is preposterous. He'll be better off either assembling a desktop or importing a laptop from USA through somebody.

But Azom always quotes laptops upwards from 1.25lac. This is also preposterous.

Overpriced AF.
Ask him to assemble a desktop for 90-100k and get a netbook for portable needs from remaining budget.
