Let him buy this onliny

Intel Core I3 + DH61WW = 9.5K
4GB CORSAIR VALUE RAM = 1K
ASUS DVD ROM = 1K
SEAGATE 500 GB HDD = 4K
FSP SAGA 500W PSU = 2.2K
GENERIC CASE = 800
HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 = 5.5K

Overclocking will never happen in your dreams too in this budget !!!

Sainatarajan has given a pretty good configuration. vaibhav23, if you wanna overclock then AMD Phenom II X4 processors are your only choice.
You can get a Phenom II X4 955 @ 5.8K + Asus M5a88M @ 5.4K.

You like it or not, they are badly beaten by similarly price Pentium G620. No point of getting them when Sandybridge is available at the same price point.

Would getting a fusion rig be fine as I don't have a high resolution

@cilus Are PhenomII processors still available In Kolkata

^^ Amd Fusion is not good AFAIK

Could you explain a bit?

vaibhav23, probably not for the X4 CPUs. I think couple of X6 models are available.

Thought of getting llano as my needs are not high and would be gaming only on weekends.
@cilus where could get phenom processors?
Is 960T available in Kolkata

At 20K , it is impossible to build a gaming rig with Overclocking facility .

Phenom 2 processor are available in
Processors Price List India: Computer Components: Flipkart.com

I am not asking for a gaming rig and my sole purpose is not gaming.I would be playing older games that also on weekends and I don't even have a high resolution.
Would buying a AMD A8 3870K be fine as its cpu performs quite well on being overclocked(near to amd FX4100 & P2 975BE)

Then AMD Llano based solution will be best for you, but mind it, even Llano unlocked processors can't be overclocked like FX or B.E series Phenom II CPUs.

But for your needs i don't think much overclocking is necessary and Llano IGP can handle Fifa 12 easily.

Here is my suggestion:
AMD A6-3650K @ 6.45K
ECS A55F-M3 @ 3K
G-skill RipjawX 1600 MHz 4 GB DDR3 @ 1.55K
FSP SAGA II 350W @ 1.6K

Rest of the config will be same. But I still think a Pentium G620+HD 5670 GDDR5 combination is more bang for buck as none of the sub 5K AMD processors can beat it even when moderately overclocked, in gaming.

^^You're right, SNB + dedicated GPU > AMD APU

I was thinking of this llano rig:-
AMD A8 3870K-7.5k
MSI A75MA-G55- 5.5k
G-skill RipjawX 1600 MHz 4 GB DDR3 @ 1.55K
WD Caviar Blue 500GB-4.2k
Cooler master elite 310-1.5k
Is FSP Saga 350W available in Kolkata and could 6670/6570 be easily supported on it?
What is the cost 0f i3 2100?

What is the cost of i3 2100?

6670 doesn't require a PCIe power connector. i3 2100 costs around 6.6k.

B

you better dont go for the saga 350w..

Here are my choices--

Processor-- amd athlon x2 260 3.2ghz
-Rs. 3300
mobo--Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2
--rs.2300
Ram--Corsair DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM 1333mhz
-rs.1150
Cooler master elite 310
--rs.1500
Gpu--hd 5670 1gb ddr5
--rs. 4800
Psu--FSP Saga II 500w
--rs.2300
dvd drive --samsung
--rs.900
WD Caviar Blue 500GB--
rs. 4200

Total==20450

A good rig for your need..

Do not suggest that board to anyone, it's an outdated chipset. BTW you seriously think an Anthlon X2 260 + HD5670 will perform better than G620 + HD6670?

B

he wont be needing the chipset as he will buy the gpu..
yes..i suggested the 5670 1gb ddr5 and it will run pretty good with athlon x2 260..

6670 1gb ddr5 will cost him more..

@OP : Get G620, its a great gaming chip and will outperform the OC'ed Athlon X2 260. If you can push a bit more, go for i3-2100. About the GPU get 5670 DDR5 or 6670.

I have decided to buy RIGOD's rig with a little modification of getting i3.Would go tomorrow and check the prices of the components and would check cost of some other processors also

In Kolkata, i3 2100 price is below 6K.
