I want a 3rd gen intel i7

ok now do not talk noobish, Irealize your nick name but you need not act that way. prices may go up more than 60K in case of 3rd gen.
Lowest priced K series is 20K

Lolz. Keshav, 2nd generation i5 is more than enough?!

3rd GEN I5s are also selling for around or just more than 2nd GEN I5s .

So it is better to buy the third GEN .

Won't be possible to get a config within 60K unless one pair a bad motherboard, desi PSU, bad chassis and low end graphics card with that.

okay nevermind 3rd gen i7 , what would you recommend between 3820 and 2600k?

A

2600K, because 3820 is too pricey to ask

I think it would be better for you to buy FX-8120/8150 based config at your budget. Would be bang for bucks spent.

Na, I read some articles lately after I bought my FX-4100, that the FX series hasn't lived up to the expectations and is nowhere close to i5 also. I'd suggest i5 2500k or i7 2600.

Moreover, games these days don't use 4 cores also, thus, ruling out FX series. Check this out:www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Core-i7-3770K-vs-AMD-FX-8150-and-Core-i7-2600K-CPU-Review/1537

FX-8120/8150 when comapred to 2500K, performs similar or in better way.
Yes, FX-4100, worst possible BD processor.

Bolder part: wrong. They can use max 4 cores. And as per your point, there is no need of i7s as they have 4 HT cores performing as 8 cores.

V

Since he wanted i7, formality sake added i7

But for gaming, i5 2500k is excellent!

Current price of 2600K is 17.8K

A

and is a good price to get a core i7

same as it is written there is no question mark n no sarcasm,
not the best but a good price

Oh, ok.
2600K is worth of max 16K IMO, not anything more than that.
