FX 6300 - 7.5k
Gigabyte 970A DS3P - 5.5k
HyperXFury 4GB - 2.8k
R9 270x - 14k
Antec VP 550p - 3.5k
Any local cabinet - 1k
Dell E1914H - 5.5k
WD Blue 1TB - 3.5k


It'd all come under the budget locally. :)

Thank you adityak469 for your reply but i have few questions
First:- i am feeling a little too much to spend 14k for a graphic card and it goes above my budget so can you suggest something under 11k please
Second:- Why 5.5k for a motherboard?I don't doubt your suggestion but is it necessary why not Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2PT (3k) or ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2 (3.6k)?

P.s everything is best thanks just +1.2k for mouse and keyboard and i will going with seagate for harddrive as WD don't have their service center here.

1. R9 270x will hold off for a year [MENTION=136512]Ultra[/MENTION] on 720p so I won't recommend going lower than that. entering will come under 38k locally if you are street smart.
[but if you aren't or three shopkeepers are too consistent on the price, get GTX 750Ti ~12k ] DON'T GO FOR ANYTHING LOWER THAN THIS AT THIS BUDGET.

2. its related to chipsets. a 970A chipset is required for proper functioning of the CPU and to harness the true power of the CPU :p

3. no problem in that. we prefer WD here because there are many cases of bad RMA by Seagate.

How about the FX 4300?

If your budget is too tight go for the fx 4300 and the GPU what aditya said. Or else go for 6300 and go for 260x.

750Ti > 260x :p

and there's no reason to go with a FX 4300 on a 38k gaming rig.

Buy a Full HD - 1920x1080 monitor for something around 8K.

1366x768 is a disgrace for productivity and normal usage, doesn't matter whether you are getting it cheap or not. Even for free it is a disgrace.

ico pls OP doesn't have the budget. he can maybe upgrade his monitor later on but people rarely upgrade their PC parts like CPU and GPU

750Ti should be pretty cheap ~10.5k lucky but I'll say go for R9 270x. it'll run most of the game at ultra on 720p for an year or two without breaking a sweat.

Budget too tight thats why going for it.:-? If i go for 1920x1080 (8k) one than i have to cut graphics price for sure..so is it worth?
And [MENTION=271931]adityak469[/MENTION] is right i can upgrade monitor if i want in a 1 year but not gpu or cpu!

if you buy 1080p monitor and compromise on GPU, you'll be widening the gap between them. lower end GPUs perform good only on 720p and you'll be buying a low end GPU with a 1080p monitor. so it will be a super waste.

Just buy a decent PC and buy a 1080p monitor later.
