Can you suggest a system @ around 30k(Can max upto 35k).

Basic needs are
1. playing game titles like crysis 2, assassin creed 2 etc... and also for games like mass effect 3 at the same resolution..
2. watching HD movies..

I have a CRT monitor with a resolution of 1280*800 pixels


I Need suggestions for components such as

1.RAM
2.Graphics Card->Nvidia
3.Processor->Intel(Preferably core i5 or i7 series)
4.Mother board
5.Cooling solution
6.Hard disk->500gb[/B]
at a price rate of 30-35k's..........!!!

Thanks in advance,........!!!!!

Here is a config for you:-

Core i5 2400 @ 9.3K
Intel Desktop Board DH67BL-B3 uATX 5.8K
Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3 ram @ 2.7K
Seagate 1 TB SATA @ 2.7K
Zotac Geforce GTX 460 768MB @ 9K
FSP SAGA II 500W @ 2.1K
NZXT Gama @ 2.1K

Total 33.7K.

However, the config suggested above is actually a super overkill for a resolution of 1280*800. Even a far cheaper graphics card like AMD HD 5670 @ 4.2K or HD 6650 @ 5.5K is more than enough to play games in the highest setting. But the above config will provide you a long lasting rig and will able to play all the future titles and the best thing is if you upgrade your monitor with some higher resolution TFT like 1440X900 (19"), 1600X900 (20") or 1920 X 1080 (22") then you don't need to upgrade anything.

Hey Cilus,

As i mentioned earlier in the PC Buying Guide Intel DH67BL-B3 doesn't supports 1600MHZ+ + RAM's, so i suggest you to get Corsair Value DDR3 2X2GB 1333 - 2.2k.
