+1 good config.

If you cannot raise your budget then you can settle down with Gigabyte 970A DS3 mobo @ 5.2k

go for i5 4430 and gigabyte b85m
rest config same as harshil's

windows 8 is included in budget...
that is why i wanted 20 inch monitor 1600 x 900 and lower gpu

Make Change in harshil config :

Gigabyte 970A ds3 @5200

Dell in2030m 20inch led @6300

Antec vp450p @ 2700

Gtx 650ti boost 1gb @ 12000

Just replace windows 8 pro with basic which is for 6800 at smc

^he want W8 basic ~8k

what is difference in windows 8 basic and pro?

Compare and decide - Microsoft Windows

you can upgrade basic to pro later

+1, especially r9 270x is very good for gaming.
However, if you want even better performance, opt for cheaper mobo Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 and get a GTX 760 which will cost you around 18500 at Nehru place.

H

if op is going for 20 inch monitor than r9 270x will max out all games easily

does graphic card make difference if i buy 20 inch monitor or 22 inch monitor?

Yes. The performance of a Graphics card depends upon the resolution you are playing at. The current 20" display comes with 1600X900 resolution (total number of Pixels per frame= 144 X 10^4) whereas 21.5", 22" and most of the 24" display are Full HD display (1920X1080 or 1920X1200). So in a higher resolution, the GPU needs to be more powerful the same level of performance what you can get from a less powerful GPU at 1600X900 resolution.
So if you you are planning to get a 20" 1600 X 900 display, R9 270X will do just fine whereas for 1080P resolution, for playing games, you need to lower the in-game quality settings.

dude there is no fixed day but i am thinking this Thursday i will go and get the prices and then will buy on Friday.

By the way i have heard that you can overclock fx6300 to 5ghz on stock cooler is it true?

^ no you need aftermarket cooler

^ but that is out of my budget

Then wait for sometime and later get it.There is no rule that every gamer need to overclock his cpu. :wink:

overclocking the cpu has minimal effect on games

ok please update the price from nehru place

Get the cheapest motherboard possible if you aren't planning to do sli or crossfire in future,

like ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2 Motherboard (3500 INR) and spend 4000 - 5000 more on better graphics card like Nvidia gtx 760.

Don't buy the LE. It can't overclock ****, refer below.

NO. You can't achieve stable 5Ghz at stock cooler, not in India. The guy who got it might be extremely lucky.

Also overclocking capability depends on the motherboard, buying the m5a97 R2.0 Limits your overclock to barely 300-600MHz [depends on your luck] above stock, to get better overclocking you need a better motherboard [m5a99fx pro - around 11,000RS not sure] and a good CPU cooler, also a good PSU.

That is a very bad advise. A good motherboard isn't just for multi-gpu setup. Its the motherboard that decides how much you can overclock, which features will you have. A poor motherboard with Chinese caps will be very susceptible any voltage alteration and the VRM will be bad. A good motherboard is always recommended irrespective of GPU setup.

trust me you will not regret

^^ That is way above his maximum budget.

Dude, do not go for an AMD processor, even a second gen i3 can beat up fx series processors real good in games. Though in productivity fx are faster but only by a little bit. Better you off with 4th gen i3 or i5, you will not regret.

AMD is good only in one aspect, they are power hungry and hot running cpus, so you can enjoy a barbeque or egg frying sort of arrangement, and since winter has already arrived, it will serve you good, trust me. :-D

For RAM, go with 8gb ram since it's Battlefield season. Will serve you in future games too. Go with any value ram like corsair value ram 1333mhz since you are not going to OC, and ram speed doesn't do much good in games (only 1-2%).

Also, as everyone is talking about oc, and since the op himself doesn't wants to do it (will be out of budget for a good mobo, good cooler and an efficient psu), I think better go with a good cpu so oc nvr becomes a hinderance. Don't suggest him about oc'ing considering that it will not benefit much for an extra penny spent. Cut the extra budget needed from mobo and utilize it for cpu; for better off with amd newer cards, the R series, offers value for money plus are loaded with features like mantle.

do you think r9 270x can handle games at 1080p.....?

^

Shopclue is itself pirate site. Never buy pc products from it

H

with his budget he cannot buy a 1080p monitor as he does not have enough cash to buy a decent graphics card
For a 1080p monitor you need atleast a r9 280x or higher card to play games at high details and enjoy the resolution

Are you talking about the games, released in 2012-2013 or before that? If the later is true, you should concentrate reading of CPU scaling in new games like Crysis 3, Hitman Absolution, Tomb Raider 2012, BF4, Medal of honor, Company of heros etc rather than suggesting misleading info. And what productivity suit you have worked on where FX is just slightly faster, Itune's Music conversion app?

If Microsoft have country wise plans for selling their software 90% of Indians would go for Genuine OS or softwares. They sell for $50 elsewhere but sell for $150 here. How come anybody wants to buy such overpriced softwares buddy.

We PC gamers asked for AMD FX 6300 and GTA 5 to be released in India as soon as possible and made an online collection of requests getting signature in droves but it is not happening in the case of Windows 7 OS in particular. I simply don't like Windows 8.

Have a look, and I'm not misleading anyone:
AnandTech | Bench - CPU

for games, fx just tends to get close to i3s...and its not about when the games were released, for single threading, i3 is surely faster but those games taking advantage of multi threads, fx are faster I must say, an in some i3 but the difference is not tht huge to be significant. If you look at fx 8320, it definitely compares with i5s but here, the difference is too high than fx 6300 and i3s. So, if for one core comparison, i3s are faster, and the two cores are competing against 6 or 8 cores, does this looks reasonable by any means. Man, AMD are long way behind Intel.

I suggest op to go with i5 3450/70 @11-11.5k and any h61 mobo for under 4k. (Thanks ASHISH65 for the prices :wink:

)

Buddy, the link you have given, apart from sysmark benchmark, which is not officially supproted by any other Vendors apart from Intel due to their extreme Biasness towards Intell design, in all the other productivity related suits, FX-6300 is way ahead of i3 3220 and available at the same price point. And regarding single threaded performance, it is just little behind i3 whereas in Multithreaded performance, it is far ahead of it. In Cinebench 11.5 64 bit single threaded performance, i3's score is 1.37 and for 6300, it is 1.07 but in multithreaded, for 6300, it is 4.5 and for i3, it is 3.29. FX-6300 is more than 1.1 point ahead of i3 and you are saying it is not significant. DO you have any idea what those scores actually mean or imply?
In X264 Benchmark, in 2nd pass, a FX-6300 can process 29 frames/sec whereas i3 can only process 17.5 Frames/sec and you are saying it is very marginal difference. Try to read about those software suits and understand what those benchmarks actually do rather than saying "In my Opinion, it is marginal"

So, if for one core comparison, i3s are faster, and the two cores are competing against 6 or 8 cores, does this looks reasonable by any means. Man, AMD are long way behind Intel.

Now, I got it, you are here to prove your point, not helping OP. Then suggest an Intel config at OP's budget which will perform better than a FX-6300 in gaming and other tasks. DOn't forget that, at the same price point, AMD is giving you 6 cores, they aren't asking for more money.

Now, all the new games which have been released in last 2 years are more or less multithreaded. In games like Tomb Raider, Crysis 3, even a FX-4300 can beat the hell out of i3 and by a huge margin. And believe me, 95% of the upcoming games are gonna be pretty much multi -threading optimized to use as many cores as possible.

Now, all the new games which have been released in last 2 years are more or less multithreaded. In games like Tomb Raider, Crysis 3, even a FX-4300 can beat the hell out of i3 and by a huge margin. And believe me, 95% of the upcoming games are gonna be pretty much multi -threading optimized to use as many cores as possible.

+1
Point!
I still have one doubt, the more cores, the better? Now, eliminate those factors such as a very deep generation gap.

If Microsoft have country wise plans for selling their software 90% of Indians would go for Genuine OS or softwares. They sell for $50 elsewhere but sell for $150 here. How come anybody wants to buy such overpriced softwares buddy.

We PC gamers asked for AMD FX 6300 and GTA 5 to be released in India as soon as possible and made an online collection of requests getting signature in droves but it is not happening in the case of Windows 7 OS in particular. I simply don't like Windows 8.

That still doesn't justify piracy.

Let's not discuss it here anymore, it will derail the thread and concentrate on what OP can get at his budget to maximize the performance. We can discuss those things in our CPU section.

ok i have decided for fx6300
please tell how is asus m97a le rev2.0 mobo?

^ It is good one specially if you have no plan to OC

but the shopkeeper told me to go for gigabyte board as it has usb 3.0 internal header and better vrm and many more things

H

dude for fx 6300 you have to buy after market cooler as with stock cpu cooler cpu temps are pretty high even at stock speed.
so again thing twice before buying it

No stock cooler enough to handle fx 6300 :wink:

Yeah, stock cooler with proper cabinet cooling is enough.

i have a friend with the fx 6300, and apart from regular gaming, puts his PC to a rather taxing usage. cpu is on stock cooler.

dude i m trying to help op. AGAIN I WANT TO SAY THAT I AM GIVING OPINION BASED ON REVIEWS FROM DIFFERENT SITE
take a look at these sites and tell me what you think after reading it.
1. i3 4130 best value cpu

2. i3 4130 more recent technology and better than fx 6300 by more than 50% when it comes to single threaded applications and draws less power

We all know that - i3 is faster than fx 6300 in single threaded performance and also in games before 2011-12,but recent games like crysis 3, Tomb Raider,metro:last light.etc shown the importance of multithreaded performance.Now all games are multithreaded rather than single.Just see the Watch dogs specs -they reccommend i7 3770 and fx 8350 for high performance. :shock:

Remember it is easy for game to utilize cores,but its hard to utilize hyperthreading (virtual cores),Unless games are coded for that.

When it comes to choose btw i3 and fx 6300 - fx 6300 should be choice , whereas if you can afford i5/i7 then there is no competition for it in Gaming.

i7 4770 is ahead of i7 3930k in "real speed"?? really? always rely on genuine websites and genuine benchmarks.
fx 8350 slower than i3 4130 "real speed"? you have look for real reviews rather than those irrelevant craps.
also who prefers single threaded apps while we have many multithreaded apps where i3 4130 performs slower and also costlier ?

That is a very bad advise. A good motherboard isn't just for multi-gpu setup. Its the motherboard that decides how much you can overclock, which features will you have. A poor motherboard with Chinese caps will be very susceptible any voltage alteration and the VRM will be bad. A good motherboard is always recommended irrespective of GPU setup.

The guy who started this thread is not planning to overclock, so heating is not an issue for him. As far as ASUS brand is concerned, it doesn't matter whether you buy their flagship product or the cheapest ones around, they are all going to be reliable. My earlier PC served me well for 7 years with a very cheap motherboard until I upgraded.

Gaming CPU Hierarchy Chart - Best Gaming CPUs For The Money: October 2013
here i3 3220 beats fx6300

It is useful for an upgrade not for bench see what tom wrote -

Indeed, this hierarchy chart is useful as a general guideline, but certainly not as a one-size-fits-all CPU comparison resource

you did not see the links posted by Ashish. it is important note that games like crysis 3, bf3,bf4 etc uses multithreads efficiently where i3 cant keep up with fx 6300. for old games, i3 may be faster. new gmaes make use of multi thread very efficiently where 2 cores of i3 cant do much.

ok now its enough let the op decide .

@op if u want more cores and more threads go with amd as simple as that..........

G

New one coming to this Debates is KAVERI APU based on STEAMROLLER...... but u have to wait till Jan14!!
AFAIK b/w i3 nd 6300 u should go with 6300 for new releasing games, who cares about the old ones when newer have everything to offer otherwise i5 is BAAP of all

Cilus said:
Buddy, the link you have given, apart from sysmark benchmark, which is not officially supproted by any other Vendors apart from Intel due to their extreme Biasness towards Intell design, in all the other productivity related suits, FX-6300 is way ahead of i3 3220 and available at the same price point. And regarding single threaded performance, it is just little behind i3 whereas in Multithreaded performance, it is far ahead of it. In Cinebench 11.5 64 bit single threaded performance, i3's score is 1.37 and for 6300, it is 1.07 but in multithreaded, for 6300, it is 4.5 and for i3, it is 3.29. FX-6300 is more than 1.1 point ahead of i3 and you are saying it is not significant. DO you have any idea what those scores actually mean or imply?
In X264 Benchmark, in 2nd pass, a FX-6300 can process 29 frames/sec whereas i3 can only process 17.5 Frames/sec and you are saying it is very marginal difference. Try to read about those software suits and understand what those benchmarks actually do rather than saying "In my Opinion, it is marginal"

Now, I got it, you are here to prove your point, not helping OP. Then suggest an Intel config at OP's budget which will perform better than a FX-6300 in gaming and other tasks. DOn't forget that, at the same price point, AMD is giving you 6 cores, they aren't asking for more money.

ok guys i went to nehru place got the following quote:
fx 6300 7600
msi 970a g43 5500
kingston hyperx blu 4gb 2400

dell in2030m 6400
windows 8 basic 5800
apc 800va ups 4200
TOTAL 50000
As i cannot spend more than 50k
Please tell how did u like it?

is ups really need now ? Because you can get gtx 650ti boost in your budget after cutdown of ups.

your need better gpu bro,hd 7770 will not cut for 900p

in delhi electricity can go any time so ups is a must. where else can i save my money?

Get Windows 8 later (if you know what i mean)

hmm okay. so if i add 5800 to 8000 it becomes 13800 so which graphic card should i buy for 13800?

Gtx 650ti boost @12500

this will max most games easily at 900p :wink:

If you still left with 1k then get a better psu like seasonic s12 520w @ 4000

Because this can help if you plan to upgrade powerful gpu later

@OP; try to find HD7850 under 13k. It's better tha 650ti boost. If you cannot find it, get 650ti boost.

harshilsharma63 said:

Gtx 650ti boost is 2-3% faster than 7850 at less price...then why you suggested 7850

now i was reading Conclusion: Performance Per Dollar - Best Gaming CPUs For The Money: November 2013

very very bad suggestions :pullhair:

antec 450p cannot power r9 270x no :evil:

no

.
local cabinet should never be bought because they are made from low quality materials which do not last a long time, they have no cable management and very bad airflow.
apc 600va is not enough to give you back up.

my suggestion
fx 6300 7600
gigabyte 970a ds3 5500
Kingston HyperX Blu 8gb 2400
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1Tb 4000
sapphire r9 270x 15600

antec gx700 4000
Dell in2030m 6400
TOTAL 50000

1. Pretty sure 450W PSU can handle 270x
Both CPU and GPU running at full load will consume < 400W it is a rare situation

2. OP can upgrade to say NZXT Gamma after 6 months and get an excellent rig. Compared to going for a lower spec'd GPU and non-1080p monitor.

3. Not sure about this one TBH.

Better to get a 500W + PSU here. For motherboard, how good is Asus M5A97LE R2.0 compared to Gigabyte one?

My vote goes for GB as it is cheap nd Asus has nothing extra to offer.

it is important to get a good ups for an active pfc psu as low quality ups will damage the active pfc psu in the long run.

Agree but budget is a constraint here coz I m suggesting 270x and dell 2240l

OP should try to get a full hd monitor.

hey guys my dad said he had spare microtek ups in office. can i use that?

microtek is **** go for apc

gta0gagan said:

they are inter connected. The cheaper upses(including our apc) does not provide pure sine wave output when the there is no electricity which is required for the active pfc psus we most have (not the local ones, but from corsair,seasonic,antec etc). Instead these upses provide stepped sine wave also known as pseudo sine wave which is essentially a variation of square wave. But some utter cheap upses and other local ones provide exact square wave instead of pseudo ones which in the sense will risk those costly active pfc psus.Active pfc psus needs pure sine wave upses to function properly but those upses are damn costlier. The output of ups matters for a psu and apc is very good unlike microteck.Active pfc psus may run with those upses but for not long. in the lon run, these may damage psu's active pfc circuit, in effect the psu itself. so getting a good quality ups is essential unless you want to risk your psu in the long run.

harshilsharma63 said:

lol.....well said!

also it is not a good idea to run a pc with active pfc psu for long time with pseudo sine wave upses. They are just used to provide time to shut down your pc. nothing more.

i never utilized it fully but without my gpu it gives atleast 20 min backup........

but then again i m thinking of changing my psu because its not modular and also i may require a higher wattage with new gpu..........

i can't help it now that i have bought this ups already have an external ups for the whole home so i think i won't need it........

yes, edited. ;-)

modular psu cost a lot and if you have a good case with good cable management options, there is no need to get those modular ones. also corsair gs 600 is enough for single cards.
