a i3 will struggle on gaming especially cpu demanding games like crysis 3 or the like. here is my suggestion.

fx 6300 -7.1k
gigabyte 970a ds3p -5.9k
corsair vengeance 4gb - 2.8k /gskill ripjawsx /kingston hyperx
amd r9 270x -15.5k
wd blue 1tb - 3.8k
antec vp550p - 3.5k
cooler master n200/n300 - 3.2k /corsair carbide spec 01 -3.8k
logitech mk200 -0.7k

you can always buy after market cooler if you feel you need one. even low cost antec a20 will be enough.

i3 2120 is enough for all games in 2014

we are not suggesting the "enough " ones, but rather best vfm ones. 2120 is based on sandy bridge architecture launched on 2011. you will not find any boards available for it, say, in 1-2 years. what will you do if something happens for the board?? it will be an excess burden to people. always suggest new and vfm products.

Buy some cpu coolers like Cooler master Hyper Evo 212 they solve problem or go for liquid cooling(Costlier)

I use the Antec X1 myself. And it is an awesome cabinet.

it is awesome by looks, but lacks in performance. it does not offer cable management options and cables looks messing around the cabinet. it reduces the proper airflow too. better alternatives are available.

Get a HIS R9 270 which is more than enough and is a better buy over the X which helps in getting 2 to 3 fps more at max. 270X is a waste of money. Save the Rs 1500 there and get a proper airy cabinet like the Corsair 200R or CM K381/380 etc etc. Antec X1 is the worst cabinet you can buy.

Looking at various bechmarks,the i3-4130 outperforms the fx 6300 is most games and consumes less power while doing so,so i would suggest the i3-4130,this way you also save money for extra cooling.For graphics card i would suggest the 750Ti or R9 270 as per your budget.Also get 8gb dual channel 1600mhz ram and good psu like Antec VP550 and case like Cooler Master N300.

its just a hype that i3 will struggle in gaming so get it clearly i3 4130 will be better than fx6300 for fx6300 you need a good mobo,good cpu cooler.You can spend that money on gpu and get 20% better gaming experience

Well, have a look at the Crysis 3 CPU performance benchmark here and you will find the real place of i3 in a multi-threaded CPU demanding games which is the future...or already the new path of the gaming industry.
*www.techspot.com/review/642-crysis-3-performance/page6.html

You can similarly check the performance of other games like Hitman Absolution, Metro Last light and find out the real story. Couple of games which are very less CPU demanding and depends upon single thread performance, only runs well on the i3 due to its better per core performance but they run well above 50 FPS with the AMD 6 Core CPU too. So decide accordingly.

Check here for Metro Last Light

So basically its like this, you can hope devs will optimize their games like crysis 3 and choose 6300 or you can go i3 which performs better in most games ?

Future games will be multithreaded coz even the consoles these days are multicored(ps4,Xbox 1)

Yup I also thinks so thats why I m going wid amd fx 6300 :)

Apr 23, 2014 at 9:55 PM
Thanks for ur quick reply but I hv heard that most of the games run on 32 bit

Get FX 6300 and be future proof.. Sure, in single threaded applications i3 can be a little bit faster but developers have made the a quadcore the minimum requireents in all new games.. All new games will fully utilise multi core systems and for that a 6300 pwns an i3...
