I don't think Op is going to be able to sell CM 460 Extreme at 2k as one can easily get a new Corsair VS 450 at that price ;)

ok so i bought a ps3 for gaming and removed the second monitor which was connected via hdmi but i noticed that my graphic card is still glitching so i still need a graphic card so do i get a cheaper graphic card for my work(animation)?

so my parents have given me a budget of 40k for psu, graphic card, ram(4GB), and a monitor or a tv please advice each of them

it supports opencl and choice of gpu and psu is good. for ram, get the similar ram you already have. for monitor, try AOC i2369vm.

but on its website it says "500 Watt Power Supply is required.
600WattPower Supply is recommended for CrossFireX™ System." so which one should i go for the 600w or the 520 one?

Seasonic S12II 520w @ 5k is enough.

@ Op - if you have kingston ram better go for Kingston Hyper X Blu 1600 Mhz / Value ram depending on your current ram module for better compatibility instead of Corsair vengeance.

BTW, For 40k you can get these :

1. Sapphire R9 280x Dual X OC @ 22k
2. Seasonic Eco 600 @ 4.5k
3. Kingston Hyper X Blue @ 3.1k
4. Dell ST2240L @ ~8 - 8.5k

You an opt for R9 280 non X version from sapphire if you wish to get the AoC i2369vm or Dell s2340l.
