Old PC is not working
On a shoestring budget which is the best option such that new config can do basic office work, and some gaming at medium resolutions on a 22 inch lcd
Please provide options for an AMD based and Intel based MB-Processor and GPU combination separately within 15-20k.
Parts which i intend to reuse include a cooler master 310 cabinet, a cooler master 80W bronze 460W PSU, DVD rom and hard disks. Additionally, will buy 4 gb ddr-3 ram
Thanks in advance

TOTAL -21,600.
AMD Config
AMD FX6300 -6700,
Gigabyte 970A-DS3P -5900,
Sapphire R7 260x 2GB -9500.
TOTAL -22,100.
are you sure your psu is a real power pro 460 and not the extreme power plus one?
Its real power pro 460...yup its still under warranty
Btw, thanks for your responses....Two queries for bavusani
- Usually, AMD builds are cheaper than intel. In this case, do i have any particular advantage with the AMD combo which is almost priced similarly to the intel config
- is there an option for a cheaper graphics card (around 7k).
intel i3 does have advantage in single threaded applications and amd fx 6300 is better for multithreaded performance. more and more games are getting multi threaded along with apps which makes an fx 6300 based rig a vfm for your budget. you can get gtx 750 for around 8.4k. it is good and consumes way less power due to the newer maxwell architecture.
