Welcome to TDF :)
As is a gaming-only rig and you'll not be overclocking, an i5 3xxx will be better suited.

i5 3450 (11000)
Gigabyte B75M DH3 (4000)
Corsair Value Select 1600MHz 4GB (1900)
Corsair CX430V (2600)
WD Blue 500GB (2900) 1TB cost ~3900
any iBall/Zebronics cabinet without PSU (750)
Asus GTX 650ti (9700)
Dell S2240L 22" IPS monitor (8500)

total: 41350

For UPS, go for APC 600VA available for 2200.

To play games in High Settings on a 1080p monitor as you have mentioned you better get a i3 3220 and utilize the saved money on a better and more powerful GPU like the GTX660 or a HD7870 as bare minimum. Its the GPU thats gonna let you enjoy the games in all it glory or High Settings as you have mentioned. If budget permits get the i5 3470 and GTX 660.

I didn't mentioned the 'boost' version as I don't know about its availability. Even I would seriously suggest to save up some cash (4k to 5k) and get a 660; seriously. Better late than bad.

Price of ASUS GRAPHICS CARD GTX 660 is arnd 16k on MD computers and i5 3470 is priced at 12k on Flipkart overshooting the budget by 5-6k....
I will be thankful if u can give a config frm ur side which u think will help me play games on high settings.... :)

If you look around in "better" shops you can get the Gigabyte GTX660 for Rs 14500/14900 max, and the i5 3470 for Rs 11300 max.Since you wont overclock get Corsair VAlue select Rams for Rs 1450 for 4GB.And for monitor the next best excellent but a cheaper option is the AOC LED 22" (I-2251FWE) IPS panel (1920x1080 LED) - Rs 7800

So if you add up the prices you get a good rig with considerable savings.

get an i3 and atleast a HD 7850 if you want to play games on a 1080p monitor , I have 7850 2GB and Crysis 3 gives me hard time on many levels to reach stable 30-35 fps on 1080p (fxaa) , same is with FAR CRY 3 I average 35 fps on 1080p (I cant remember exactly but it wasnt the highest setting). Games are gonna get more and more demanding , If you want a future proof try and get the best graphics card for your budget and a decent processor like i3 3210/3220 if you are into gaming . I myself now think that I should have gone with 7870.
Sainatarajan
Apr 15, 2013 at 3:29 PM
Get the I5 3450 or 3470 , a pure quad core will last long than the i3 . After 3 yrs If you think you are getting low fps need to buy a Gfx card , you can get one. But the i3 will bottleneck the new card if you buy.

I checked the Asus P8 B75 MLE it doesnt have any USB 3.0 ports and only has 2 memory slots. I would like a mobo wid 3-4 usb 3.0 also atleast 3-4 memory slots so tht i can use the mobo for a long run(3-4 years atleast). I am ready spare extra 1k-2k bucks also for it.

What about ASUS P8B75-V???

Just came to know about the EMI option of flipkart with credit card, so guys please suggest me a GPU below 15k(Preferrably AMD) as am going to buy the GPU at EMI according to above config.

Also if i plan to crossfire the gpu in coming year will my psu in the above config be enough or should i change it??

Actually in Flipkart, GPUs are little overpriced. Within 15K, the best AMD card is HD 7850 2 GB GDDR5. Look for the following versions:-
PowerColor AMD/ATI Radeon HD 7850 (v2) 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card - PowerColor: Flipkart.com
Gigabyte AMD/ATI GV-R7850OC-2GD 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card - Gigabyte: Flipkart.com

And pls do answer tht question about psu if it needs changing if i crossfire the GPU after 1 year...

1st of all, with an H77 board which offers Crossfire setup at X16-X4 speed, Crossfire of cards like HD 7850 is not recommended as the 2nd slot runs at only X4 PCI-E 2.0 speed and the card pluged over there will suffer from memory bottleneck. 2ndly, after 1 year, going for multi-gpu is again not a viable option as that time far more GPU on the same price range will be available. Better stick with a single GPU.
The price of the Power Color card is pretty much okay, maximum 200/300 bucks higher than the street price.

After one month, the price of HD7850 may also decline to 11.5 to 12k, so that would make an even wiser choice.

You're making an assumption based on past price drop or are there any news about such happening? I'm asking because I am currently struggling fitting a good GPU in my system and price drop of HD 7850 might just come as good news for me :)

Its the GPU thats gonna let you enjoy the games in all it glory or High Settings as you have mentioned. If budget permits get the i5 3470 and GTX 660.

as op stated he will play crysis 3 the core i3 would be a bottleneck managing less than 20fps.
CPU Benchmarks : Crysis 3 Performance, Benchmarked On 16 Graphics Cards
again he wants his system to be good for 2 yrs.
i would suggest the cheapest core i5 with waiting a little for gtx 650 ti boost.
what say you?
The Incinerator
Apr 20, 2013 at 1:06 PM
As I already said and would still say a i5 3470 with a GTX660 as bare minimum on a 1080p.

Where as the i5 with a lower GPU will imply almost the same results as with a i3 and GTX660. Dont forget that FC3 and Crysis 3 are as GPU intensive as as much as they utilize the CPU,so getting one lesser the the other will diminish game playability.

the gtx 650 ti boost ed. would ensure his strict 40k budget remains. but perhaps you are right a gtx 660 would be better, the might just have to increase his budget by 2.5k-3.5k.

btw i was talking about the newly launched gtx 650 ti boost with 192bit bus and boost feature. nice card.

edit: sorry had not read all the posts. op increased budget and 650 ti boost is discussed. sorry.

Eyes closed get a Toshiba DT01ACA100, has 3 Years warranty! And WD Blue 1 TB is out of stock in India for the past 6 months or more,so no point wasting time over it.

Well AMD one looks pretty good based on perfomance but am not sure yet... Heard that AMD cpu's have heating issues n i would need external cooler for it. What u say about tht???

^^ That's baseless info mate. No heating issues with amd cpu's. They are as good as intel in that department and also bundle a premium cooler, far far better than what intel bundles.

which shop post link please

i would suggest get Toshiba 1 TB HDD Rs. 3800 + 3 years warranty (1year for Seagate)
& get the second config.
With the saved money invest on APC 1100 VA UPS ~ Rs. 5300

Not every item is from Satyam computers.. But the FX-8350 price is from the same shop.

No such issues. Also, AMD's stock cooler are way better than Intel's. You can buy a CPU cooler later on if you have to overclock >5GHz. You can reach 4.5 GHz with the stock cooler safely.

Get Toshiba instead of Seagate. Toshiba offers 3 years warranty and WD's HDD manufacturing will now be handled by Toshiba.

My View with FX8350 cooler way too noisy, until and unless you can afford that rigging sound while playing your games, you please go with AMD. Until and unless you invest in a good cooler you will never get a peace of mind. Telling from my personal experience just bought myself a HYPER EVO212.

Its 3 yr warranty ...
