the CPU wont have much effect on gaming...So G620 or 2100 gonna behave same...
AS for the extra 10K...he can choose a nice LED :)
i left out the monitor...remember?
Nerevarine
Jun 21, 2012 at 4:11 PM
The same for now perhaps but i3 2100 is still a lot more future proof.. besides im completely sure its not possible to max out CPU heavy skyrim/starcraft 2 using G620..
sumonpathak
Jun 21, 2012 at 4:32 PM
^^with intel nothing is future proof...and i don't think maxxing out is possible even with 2100...
he should concentrate on getting a better GPU...

But remember, you won't be able to play new games with GT 210. If you want to leave gpu, then this :
Intel Core i3 2100 @ 6.5k
Intel DH67CL @ 5.2K
Corsair 4 gb value select ddr3 1333 mhz @ 1.2k
WD Caviar blue 500 gb @ 4.2k
Seasonic s12II 520 @ 4K
Lancool PC K56-W @ 3.5K
Samsung P2350 @ 10K
Optional : if you want, then you can change processor to core i5 2400 @ 10.8k, though it won't make any difference when gaming at 1080p.

Pairing a K series processor with P67 or Z68 or Z77 Chipset Makes sense.

Jun 23, 2012 at 12:13 PM
So Option in mobo ll be _________?

Get a non-k processor(intel core i5 2400) with intel DH67CL(B3) mobo. It isn't possible to include a good Z68 mobo with unlocked processor in a budget of 35k.

GTX 560 sells around 10.5k. HD 7850 is around 15.8k. Choose according to your budget. Pray that condition of rupee improves. BTW, at the time when you'll buy, nvidia mid range gpus might also release.
Sainatarajan
Jun 24, 2012 at 9:36 PM
But They will be very pricey here.

GTX 660 will be above 20K . Maybe even 25K .

Jun 27, 2012 at 9:31 AM
@OP : For PSU fo for Corsair/SeaSonic. Regarding the cabinet CM Elite 311 Plus is good but doesn't have much cooling options. NZXT Source 210 Elite is the best choice in 2.5k range.
