Gaming PC below 30k (Help config) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

T

Looking for a gaming PC below 30k !!
Is AMD or Intel better for gaming and watching movies,
Either an x4 or i3-i5 depends on which is worth for my budget.
The budget should also incl. 21.5"-22" LCD TFT HD(1080) widescreen monitor
It should be able to run latest games and 2-4yrs down the line.

Thanks.

And also if needed can increase my budget to 35K max !!

AMD Athlon II x3 435 @ 3.5k
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H @ 4.5k
2GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 2.3k
Zotac GTX460 1GB @ 12.7k
WD 500GB Blue @ 2k
Corsair CX400W @ 2.7k
CM elite 310 @ 1.5k
Benq 22" G2220HD @ 7.5k

Total - 36.7k

forget 4 years, this rig will last you 1.5-2years.
do you need a new dvd writer too? if yes then expand your budget.

Core i3 530 - 5.2K approx
ASUS P7H55 - 5.5K approx
2x2GB Corsair XMS3 1600Mhz - 4.5K approx
ATI HD5770 - 8.5K-9K approx
Seagate 7200.12 500GB - 1.9K approx
Corsair CX400 - 2.5K-2.7K approx
NZXT Gamma case - 2.1K approx

Please do check the prices- approx above

^^a better gpu is important and not a better cpu. gtx460 is way better than hd5770.
we also need a balance between cpu and gpu according to op's budget. also if i3 is what op needs to buy then athlon 635 is a the way to go. it is better in multitasking and a little slower in gaming..with gaming becoming more multithreaded in future 635 will yield better result.

good for price, go for this

well the price is exceeding even my max budget

, but thx for the suggestion,
was thinking of a slightly lesser graphics,say the radeon 5770??
also was hoping to squeeze in the keyboard and mouse into the budget

AMD Athlon II x3 435 @ 3.5k
Gigabyte GA-MA74GMT-S2 @ 2.7k
2GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 2.3k
Zotac GTX460 1GB @ 12.7k
WD 500GB Blue @ 2k
Corsair CX400W @ 2.7k
CM elite 310 @ 1.5k
Benq 22" G2220HD @ 7.5k
Logitech keyboard & mouse @ 0.7k

Total - 34.9

will you do any future upgrades in this pc?? if yes then the psu is insufficient. cx400w will just handle this rig. so if you want to add additional hardware in future then get msi hd5770 @ 8.8k and spend 1k extra on corsair vx450w and something on a better mobo.

also if you want to add another 2gb ram in future then this psu will easily suffice.

Thanks soo much,really appreciate the help!!!
will surely be buying it b4 months end...

you are welcome
also if you plan hd5770 then look for better mobos such as gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H @ 4.5k or MSI 880GMA E45 @ 5.6k or gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H @ 5.5k
