5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: have hdd...500gb + 1tb

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: no have a 1440x900 in future might buy a hdmi 1080p monitor

Ans: online only but locally can enquire rates

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: need to be future proof like my existing PC(served 7 rock-stable years, still working but wanted to get a new build),
must have HDMI and SPDIF/coaxial out and USB3 and SATA 6gbps
CABINET should be branded and killer looking but less price :p, side window MUST

I was going to buy CC 830 white but instead bought CM Storm Scount 2 cause I couldnt find reviews on circle cabinets but its definitely good looking. And I have seen circle other products like keyboards, they are decent enough.

for how much did you buy CM Storm Scount 2???
circle cabinets are not even close to corsair spec looks....imo...i saw them few months back also...
even saw the antec X1-T with windows but not impressed as the corsair spec

spec has killer looks from the front but I'm afraid that the interior paint chips off easily and has only 3-3.5inch bays...

thinking of getting spec 02/03

will not be able to buy for 10 days as I'm out of town...if i order now it wont be delivered as no one will be present to receive the item...moreover i should only receive the item, as to check if everything's okay.

FX8320 is more future proof than i3.

if u really need the power, then oc it years later with a suitable mobo and cooler. however, if u r not a gamer, then u may not even feel the need in next 8-9 years, and even i3 will suffice.

if u dont wanna spend for i5, then get 8320, and pay the extra amount as installments by paying for electricity bill. :D

I liked the cc 830 white more than spec cause I was looking for cabinets in white colour. And it has a good white and blue theme.
But apart from that there is good colour schemes in circle cabinets like black and red on the insides too and that might be visible cause of the windowed side panel. But if you like spec then go with it.
Scout 2 cost me 8300rs cause I got the ghost white one which is costlier than the black ones. But its built is very durable and strong. looks extremely sexy with white leds especially at night haha. I ordered mine from itdepot too.

My original preference was NZXT phantom 410 but it was not available. CM HAF912 is good too but costs 5600.

I would say check local stores and you might get something cooler for a lesser price.

here more than 50 computer shops are there but all of them have ze9ron!c$ crap and other !b@ll crap and Tec#c0m crap, etc...
except one who sells a cooler master thunder psu...he became close and started selling corsair cx series, only for high end customers :)

instead of investing 8300rs, i can get a new case in future when i need...and it gives the feel of new computer...:wink:

I seldom change my pc. Right now I am using a 5yr old dell studio 1555 . I wanted something good and sexy but durable and I have no plans of changing this for the next few years hopefully lol.
I also liked CM Elite 431 Plus Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus Mid Tower Cabinet - Cooler Master: Flipkart.com
But thats too out of stock. Even thermaltake makes good cabinets. Keep looking and you might find something which suits your needs and budget.

fx8320 wont be much of a huge on to of what u paying., unless u keep it under load for hours, day after day (read : play BF3/4 everyday).

@ idle, ~16w more than i3/i5 & ( i.e. 62 hrs to bill 1 unit of electricity more than i3 )

thanks for explaining...
well still I have time to decide a build...
will the prices decrease? because in budget it was said so? :-D
so getting a FX is more futureproof than i3?
and getting a PC which can decode 4k will be nice too...I see GA-B85M-D3H has ability to play 4k, but it is for a 1150 socket. need to search

21.3k-25k= gpu+cabby?
my max budget is 25k...
and I'm not gonna OC
I think fx6300 is enough for me...
is the power consumption high only when under full load?
while browsing then will it be low?

I see that the i3 4130 has lower power consumption and better single threaded apps BUT the fx6300 crushes it when multitasking...
fx6300 might be a future proof as most games now are not fully optimized for 2 cores or more?
do you guys get liquid coolers(like corsair single radiator) even if the pc is in a ac room?

hmmm, those r fk prices, there u get 10% off with some credit card i think (city bank or something i dont remember)

apart from that, u may replace psu with Antec VP450P -2600 as u dont want to o.c. now, but i say get a proper 500w - still, that vp may just be fine though (dont forget to change psu after 5 yrs - their caps go bad, and loose efficiency over time, ripple also increases as a result).
u may also check local shop for cheaper prices.

strech budget a little 1-2k and i think u will be able to get the gfx + cabby too. 21.3-2.13 = 19.1. so u get 27-19=8k for cabby + gfx.

when browsing epect ~5% cpu load, when watching movies it should not go > 10% for such powerful cpu.

not all liquid coolers are good. and goods cost something like >5k. normally a 2.5k hyper 212 evo does suffice for most users doing o.c. if stock cooler ever gives u trouble, u may get that, or CM hyper TX (1.4k - but u dont want to o.c. an 8 core proccy with this).

I use only CoD
I want to get a psu that has good quality and life(p.s. should not fail/go to srvice center, i have a puer sinewave inverter so mostly my psu will be OK...currently have a cx430v2 and its great)
local shop ppl say "we will put an order for u sir" with their cmmision on the price!

I have a ac in my room so mostly the pc will be cool...what im asking is wvwn if ppl have ac will the buy a liquid cooling setup?
my max budget is 25k at most...max 30k

mobo any other alternatve other than gigabyte? [lost faith in gigabyte, though used 2 gigabyte boards and 1 still running strongly and 1 was defective on arrival(graphics driver will crash pc and it wont start]

yes and no. 4th gen i3 support avx2 instruction sets which are going to be supported by more games in future . AMD will introduce similar instruction only in the upcoming excavator architecture.
If you are only looking at the raw power of cpu , then may be , but not for long.

Either ways , AMD 8320 is a fine cpu, however comparing it to a i3 isn't that fair, as i3 aims at a different section.

but geting a new pc in a old cabinet will give no new feeling.

it does. but unless u want 32 gb memory, go with ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2 Motherboard - ASUS: Flipkart.com

and any value ram suffices ur needs, u dont needs expensiv rams with big oversized heat sinks.

but, best way to be future proof is, to save money for future gadgets. :pullhair:

amd did not have new chipsets for past few years.
how about Buy Online NZXT Phantom 240 Mid-Tower Chassis Cabinet Case in India. a little bit expensive than spec03.

samsung evo gets my vote. if you could wait, see 850 evo version to appear on market.

they are more or less the same. asus has 2esata ports whereas gigabyte has more expansion slots. asus has 8 usb 2.0 and 2 usb 3.0 ports. gigabyte has 6 usb2.0 and 2 usb 3.0 ports.
asus has slightly better audio codec too.

guys the pc is up and running, got 25fps[is it ok] in heavenbenchmark, though i didnt format and simply uninstalled old drivers and installed new as ssd didn't arrive

now the problem is the cpu fan does a buzzing/creaking noise always...

check the temperature first. amd coolers usually makes more noise though.

noise of air is ok{@>5000rpm) , but my noise feels like a bearing noise or something, like a slight tirrrrrr even on slow speed and high speed, tough it is not audible until i put my ear near the case
temp is 40 idle as i screwed up when putting the cooler and half paste was on proccy and another half on heatsink :(

suggest some offline games...which makes me see the true potential of gpu

ran heavenmard and gpu fps was 25 avg and 70deg temp of gpu
