The config you have mentioned is perfect except for a few changes:

> Make sure you get 4 GB x2 1600 MHz RAM.

> for graohic card, get wither of Asus or Sapphire, whichever is cheaper.

asus offers 3 years repalcement afaik.
TX650m is made by CWT and is of lower quality than m12ii 650 or even older a seasonic made corsair tx 650v2. tx 650m compromised the quality for modluar thing.

I have one question corsair vengeance 8 GB 4x2 1600mhz is for Rs.6492 and corsair vengeance 4 GB 4x1 is for Rs.2788
if I bought corsair vengeance 4 GB 4x1 x2 its cost is Rs.5576 & it will work on dual channel should I buy this way and save some money :-D

Actually I didn't get the 8GB 4X2 meaning. Are you trying to say 8GB Ram in 4GB X 2 configuration? if yes, then just write 4GBX2.

If you want my suggestion, get a single 8GB stick for now and add another later. 1600 MHz 8GB stick from Kingston (HyperX Blue series) or Corsair will cost you around 5K. Get whatever is cheaper. But Kingston HyperX series dos offer better overclocking capability than popular corsair Vengeance series.

Why would you suggest 8 GB x1 instead of 4 GB x2?

I think I will go with gskill or Kingston because I will be using my old CM hyper 212evo the corsair heat sink may create problems

You can look for G.Skill Sniper which has low profile heatspreaders. BTW I'll recommend 4 GB x2 instead of 8 GB x1.

if you can get it under 28k, then you should consider getting it. also get choose from zotac,asus,gigabyte etc. skip msi and xfx.

if you're going to buy gtx 770 get the zotac it comes with 5 year warranty

also check mdcomputers they have 280x for like 24k

Vyom93 said:

price is on the higher side. then get 770 at 28k or 280x under 24k(if possible).

The performance of GTX 750Ti is more about less power consumption and doesn't require an extra power port. It is also based on the new Maxwell architecture.

op does not mention about saving power. performance wise 750ti is nowhere near to 280x.
