What is the resolution of your monitor, I suggest you change it or the graphics power will go in vain.

Anyway here is my recommendation :-

Intel i3 3220-7000
Gigabyte b75 dh3-4000
Corsair or gskill value 4gb -1500
Sapphire hd 7770 -8000
WD blue 1tb-3600
Nzxt gamma-3000
ASUS DVD drive -1000
Corsair 430v v2 -2600

Total - 30,600

Don't go below this , as it is the minimum. Also , I seriously suggest you to change your monitor.

I think the resolution of the monitor will be max, 1366x768, so HD 7770 is a good Choice...

i had quoted the prices in chennai, didnt know that the prices were cheaper than the above mentioned :( , @ASHISH where do you live?

@op you can buy the parts from www.mdcomputers.in or www.theitdepot.com , or www.theitwares.com they all offer good prices , email them to know whether they ship to your city.

My suggestion is to check among them which of them offer the best prices in the different parts, example- the proccesor is cheapest at theitwares. also the shipping charges are cheapest in md computers, so buy the cabinet and monitor from there. what i did was to buy the cabinet, monitor, graphic card and keyboard mouse from mdcomputers and the rest from theitwares. i saved around 3~4k by this.

theitdepot i have not tried so check whether the prices are cheaper .

you may get good rates and save money this way.

make sure the ram is 2x2GB for dual channel purpose.

change the monitor later. Dell IN2030M is a good choice for the 7770.

Dual Channel wont create huge difference, it is better to save the other slot for future upgrade (to 8GB or more)

A few modifications:

Intel i5 3470 - rs 11000
Gigabyte b75 d3h - rs 4000
Wd cavier blue 1tb - rs 3900
Corsair vengance 4gb ddr3 - rs 2000
Asus GTX 650ti - rs 10000

total - rs 31k.

4 GB is okay for gaming. Getting a gtx650ti will make gaming experience when you upgrade to a better monitor.

Diff between 7770 and 650ti is quite visible, but between 4 GB and 8 GB may not be clearly visible in gaming.

:agreed:
I was having 4 GB RAM and When I upgraded to 8 gigs and There Was not much Difference. You will get much better framerates with a GTX 650 Ti than a HD 7770.

But at that res (1366x768) This CPU is not recommanded For gaming,but if you want an amd system than you can do this
Keep your OPD,Cabinet,and Monitor
and get rest as Below-
FX 8350 - 11.5k
MSI 970A-G46-5.5k

He needs a cabinet, power supply and optical drive also inside the 30k budget. Your config is very good but does not include the above mentioned components. If he were to get your config , he would not have money for the cabinet, psu or optical drive without exceeding his budget.

Shiva

The i5 rig I suggested is completely fine for the budget you mentioned. Why do you want an i3?

your rig does not include cabinet, power supply or optical drive. if he went for your rig, where will he get money to buy these?? hence , he is going for i3 to save costs and be able to buy everything while staying inside the budget.

Then you will have to sacrifice on other two cores. You can upgrade GFX card anytime But not the core component.
