25k is very less budget for a 'gaming rig' since you want to include a monitor too. are you a hardcore gamer or casual? which all games you will play?

He has written excluding monitor. So I guess 25k is good enough for a decent config. I am a bit outdated on the prices, so please correct me if I'm wrong

AMD Athlon II X4 640 - 5k
Gigabyte 880GMA UD2H - 4.5k
Radeon HD5670 - 5.4k
4GB RAM - 2.4k
1 TB Seagate HDD - 2.8k
FSP Saga II 400W - 2k
Cooler Master Elite 430 - 2.5k

totals somewhere around 25k

Please modify the suggestions if something is wrong. I gave a suggestion because he doesn't seem to be a frequent visitor and would be disappointed if there were no responses when he visited 2 days later

1 TB Seagate HDD - 2.8k
FSP Saga II 400W - 2k
Cooler Master Elite 430 - 2.5k

well balanced rig
no changes required

just in case if OP wants to game at higher resolutions,then he can go for Elite 310 along with 2gb ram and should choose HD 5770/gts 450

OOPS coolbuddy - i misread it as Including :-D

but guys remember this -
dont suggest a fsp saga II 500/400w with bottom mounted psu cabby. remember the short eps12v problem sammy and i faced.

now a little try from my side :-D -

Component | Make | Price
Processor|AMD Athlon II x3 440|3200
Motherboard|Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H|5500
Ram|Corsair VS2GB1333D3 2GB|1100

PSU|Corsair CX400W|2600
Cabinet|NZXT GAMMA|2000

you can always add ram (as only 1100 bucks) later but not a graphic card ;-)

Really good config. Jas. But its better to go for a QUAD core proccy as games are getting multicored now a days.
Jaskanwar Singh
Feb 25, 2011 at 9:14 AM
thanks, ya he can reduce on mobo to Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H @ 4k and get Athlon II x4 640 @ 4.6k.

Jaskanwar's rig is superb..good gpu and psu..decent cpu, mobo and cab..really cool!!

We don't have enough information for the right suggestion. But I would say if he has a monitor 19" or smaller, better to go with HD5770 and a quad core CPU. However DH6850 would be the better choice if he has a 20" or larger monitor. Games have become very demanding these days, so better to squeeze in the best card that one can afford.

6850 is the best choice in gpu at its price. Its got no competitors yet. Op should go with athlon x4 640.

I agree with jaskanwar here. Ram and hdds can be added later. But a good gpu is hard to upgrade later for those on a tight budget. So its better to get the gpu now.

^^ Probably he dropped the idea of purchasing.... :D

BTW 6850+CX400W+X4.

Jazz, you think CX will handle this rig, say if he is gonna add a bit more of RAM and HDD's?

no dont get an aio. you get much better hardware in assembled.
furious_gamer
Feb 26, 2011 at 10:15 AM
@Jaz

AFAIK CX400 will not handle 6850 with a Quad Core. The bare minimum would be VX450. Getting a VX450 to avoid any problems, and why hanging with CX400 and expect it to give it full potential?
