if you want a monitor them go with this rig -

FX 6300
Gigabyte 970A DS3P
Kingston HyperXBlu 4GB
Antec VP450p
Any Local Cabinet (without PSU)
WD Blue 1TB
Dell S2240L
Sapphire R7 250X

TOTAL ~ 38k

locally it should be cheap.

If monitor its not needed then get R9 270 instead of R7 250x and Antec VP550p instead of Antec 450p.

Also, FX 8320 is priced nearly to FX 6300. It would be good to use that instead...

Antec VP 450p - 2.5k
Deepcool Tesseract - 2.7k

i3 won't be able to play many games. and i5>i3.
Antec VP450p is better than CX 430.
please make your budget clear and whether you want a monitor or not.

You say you don't wanna game, but in the questionnaire you said you want to play, please make that clear too. we can't help you unless we know what you really want.

if you can, get the i5(of you don't wanna game much). if you do wanna game, get the AMD config.

Thanks friend for your prompt response, I do need a monitor.... And it is Dell S2240L

I'm not a hardcore gamer.... And don't play games too much... It means I play games. But only sometimes....


I also know that i5>i3 but it may be out of my budget that's why I thought of i3...

And thanks for sharing your thoughts with me...
new suggestions are welcome....

it doesn't matter if you play a little or you are a hardcore gamer. to run latest games, you'd need a good GPU(at least 250x) and personally I'd tell you to get the AMD config, its powerful than the i3 config and you can play all latest games at least on med too.

and the i5 rig I suggested is well within your budget(if you get locally)

A little bit confused about the motherboard... Which one should I choose.... Either ASUS B85M or Gigabyte GA B85M D3H.. GIGABYTE has on-board 7.1 channel sound.

Why are you searching for tirupati? Are you searching for any specific component?

I have searched the website of Tirupati Enterprises for Deepcool Tesseract just because the name of only Tirupati Enterprises is mentioned when I clicked on WHERE TO BUY IN INDIA on the website of DEEPCOOL.

Tirupati enterprises are now known as overclockers zone Overclockers Zone. They must be the deepcool distributors but I can't see the deepcool tesseract on their site. You can call them and ask though.
Deepcool tessaract is a good option at this budget. I purchased my cabinet from itdepot too. They packed it nicely and it was delivered in excellent condition.

I think probably the stocks are low of that particular model. The delivery charge depends upon your location and weight of the cabinet plus which courier service you choose. Chat with itdepot agent online and he will help you out. I was charged ~600 for shipping to mumbai

It was also available on snapdeal, but now it has been sold on it too. For Rs2700. Only and also delivery is also free..... hope it will be available again...

Delivery charge should be around ~ 500 bucks, just a guesstimate. Chat with the agent online. I was charged ~600 for a 8.5 kg cabinet to mumbai and deepcool tesseract weighs only 5 kgs!

delivery charge is Rs.478 to mumbai, so the case price is 2600 plus shipping almost 500, so why not buy a case here locally for 3-3.2k.
I wanted the same case too :(

Buy some other case locally then. Just check whether it fits your gpu & cpu cooler if applicable or not. Also check if there are sufficient ports for fans installation in case you want to add more fans later on. Front usb 3 and other ports are helpful too. Transparent side window and sufficient space for cable routing is upto your choice. If you can get these features in less price locally, go for it.
