For Graphic card check out ZOTAC GRAPHICS CARD GTX 660. It's available in mdcomputers.in for Rs. 15,599. Nice deal.

Guys this mobo Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 does it have PCI 3.0?
will it matter if i buy GTX 660?????

PCIx16 3.0 only matters in case of multigpu systems.
For single card 2.0 is enough.

wait few days cause it's 770 & 760Ti release time so there may be price drops for current 6xx cards

i Have all the time to wait waiting for a month or so

In that case you can keep using your Asus GT210 (FX series CPUs do not have IGP). Get a 7 series card later. And do wait a month after the launch for the prices to come down.

And if you are in hurry for the GPU, consider Sapphire HD 7870 @ 15.2K +4% tax (Vedant Computer, Kolkata)

To Cilus , harshilsharma63 , avinandan012 , ankush28 , Risspartan117 And all Others.....

So the intel 4th generation processor are lunched is it worth wating for thos and not to hurry for buying pc now?

Sources : Intel’s 4th Generation CPU Haswell Makes Its Debut: Core i7-4770K Review | Kotaku Australia

4th gen Intel Core series or Haswell does have minimal performance improvement (maximum 4 to 7 %) over their 3rd Gen Processors, namely Ivy Bridge. And belive me, they are not going to come cheap in India. So get what is suggested.

i3s are yet to launch but viewing the i5 & i7 performance improvement over Ivy bridge is below 10%, i3 will be also similar. also z87 boards wont be cheap , So better go with suggested FX combo.

Thank you for the answers i ll stick wid this config

may be 2moro or day after 2moro i ll go n check local price on FX combo

Yes u guys are right it wont come cheap specially when $ is increasing....

Also it will take 1 to 2 months to come to india

So AMD FX-6300 is not available locally for me n i didnt see it on Flipkart also can guys give me some good trusted site for it ??
And also for ram i can only buy Mobo locally

AMD FX 6-Core Black Edition FX-6300 (FD6300WMHKBOX) Processors
7.3k + shipping

Few More Questions plz tell me difference btw FX 6100 & 6300
difference btw Asus M5A97 R.20 % Asus M5A97
and how SMC International cost on shipping
(asking coz only getting FX 6100 and Asus M5A97 locally) :banghead:

Nope. Sapphire 7870 was priced at ~ 17K (including tax). I bought it recently from there.

>>>The FX 6300 is Vishera and FX 6100 is a Bulldozer . The FX 6300 is a newer CPU and performs Better than FX 6100 . Since both the CPUs are almost priced the same , it is better to go with the newer one i.e. FX 6300.

FX-6300 is based on slightly modified Bulldozer architecture (used in FX-6100), known as Piledriver. It offers lesser power consumption, higher IPC or Instructions per Clock Cycle and speed advantage. It's performance is noticeably better than FX-6100 and sometimes touches i5 3450

Asus M5A97 evo R.20 has better build quality and overclocking potential than Asus M5A97 R.20. Opt for the former if budget permits.

do not buy fx6100

Hiii guys

At last i have now decided that i ll get following

AMD FX-6300 (6 Core, 3.5 GHz with 4.2 GHz Turbo, 6 MB L2 + 8 MB L3 Cache) @ 7.7K (locally)
MOBO : Asus M5A97 EVO R.20 @ 7K (locally)
Ram : G.skill RipjawsX 4gb (flipkart) [might go for 8GB]
PSU : Seasonic s12 520watt (flipkart)

I ll keep rest money for GPU

Few things why i didnt selected 8350
> Coz i download 2 much,so pc ll be on whole night as the power consumption of 6300 is less i ll get it
> FX 6300 has better value, i get more performance for my money.
> by saving thos money i ll get a better GPU n most important i ll get the GPU faster

oh yes my old GPU is still working (at least i can play DOTA 2 till my NEW GPU comes )

So anything i need change now?

The idle power consumption of Piledriver based processors are almost same as the Intel Processors. So no need to worry while downloading.

^^yeah agree there is not much difference in power consumption by the way getting good gpu seems better as main gaming performence is by gpu.
