Please suggest me a good cabinet in that range other than NZXT Source Elite 210. Because it is very hard to find this gadget in online stores.

You'll be able to play all games at medium settings. If you can further increase your budget by ~2k then HD7790 will be even better. You can skip the optical drive too for that as it's not very useful now.

One of my friend told me that "Buy a better processor,one that is launched in the last year.
And try if you can play games in medium settings.
If u can then go like that for some months then buy gpu"

Any comments on his statement..?

Are you serious? Mate, in gaming, everything's dependent on your GPU. CPU is just like something which supports the GPU. Just make sure that you don't bottleneck your GPU by getting a poor CPU. Most of the CPU come with built in GPU but that GPU makes no sense, so it's recommended to invest as much as possible on GPU and try to have a CPU which doesn't bottleneck your GPU. BTW CPU is mostly used for apps, coz of their multi-thread-ing nature.

A Little modified suggestion

.. Op can save 2k by going with ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2. 2 - 2.5K more by opting for a 20 inch monitor. 1K if he skips ODD. Now with all these savings he can opt for a R7 260x or better GTX 650 Ti Boost [ i Know it's over ambitious but still ]. He can also wait to increase his budget for upcoming R7 265 or to get a R9 270[x]

I'm sure TopGear meant waiting for 265 for arriving in India.

Hi
First of all, make sure if you are going to follow our advice, then you better do it. Because I've seen it n number of times that people asking for suggestions here and then going to local store and buying whatever the shopkeeper guy suggests. This reason alone made me stopped posting suggestions.

See bro, there is nothing like this brand is better than other one. We see a new arrival of product every 4-6 months. And that changes the market state. When you plan to buy thing, you check the reviews, its performance over many platforms/softwares/applications/games/etc. When we talk about GPU, we have to settle down for that item which will give best performance per currency spent. And thats not all, we also have to check for possible scenarios of its compatibility with other hardware (whether there will be bottlenecking) and such stuff. And manyyy more technicalities ranging from average frame rates to ambient temperature of your room. So never ever blindly follow any advice from X guy even if you are not from tech related field. Forums like these are there to help you out.

Over to your problem now. Some things I wanna ask. Do you really wish to go for 22" LCD or you can accept a 20" monitor. I'm asking this because 22" screen have native resolution of 1080p where as the 20" screen offers 900p . You budget is suitable for 20" screen and a entry-mid range gfx card, that is, around 12k-15k price. IF you follow Topgear's advice, you'll save enough to buy a good GPU and that what you really need to play those game at good settings. One more thing, go for FX series CPU or new gen Intel i3 dual core, but I'd strongly suggest to go for AMD one because, I'm using machines with different setups at office for web/software development and by far AMD FX cpu was the best one (ignoring the Mac which have Intel i7 chip in it).

Hi Piyush ,

Thanks for your reply. I am gonna assemble my PC based on the specs provided by you guys. But i need to be confident before i am going to buy this, that why i am asking all these questions :lol:

and also budget is a problem.
Now about the monitor, i already mention it in my above comment, its Dell e2014h 19.5inch display.
So you are suggesting me that i should go for ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2. 2 and to not compromise in gfx card..?
Sure bro, i will buy amd FX series for processor.

what upgrades do you mean? get WD hdd than seagate as they have bad rma experience. look no further than antec vp450p. we are suggesting best for your money. so give some attention on the suggested rig.

get wd blue 500gb. for rs1200 more you can get hd 7790 at mdcomputers.
also for case, i would recommend betfenix merc alpha for 3k. or settle for cooler master elite 311.

Sorry to say, i cannot extend the budget of GPU. Many of my friends said that Seagate is better than WD. And does this cabinet Antec-X1 is not that good...?

seagate is is not good at rma.WD customer support is superior.
antec x1 does not have cable management .see here the difference

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=12659&d=1383929198
antec x1 will be little better than the second figure.

Hey guys.
I am still not confident with this Asus mobo.,is it good..? Or please suggest one at that range..

varghesekiran said:
Hey guys.
I am still not confident with this Asus mono.,is it good..? Or please suggest one at that range..

i would suggest to get gigabyte 970a ds3. even if your gpu fails, you can get a cheap gpu or atleast a used one costing less. compromising on mobo is not really a good idea since you have a 6 core 95w tdp cpu with you,

^^ GA-970A-DS3P is a better choice for 400 bucks more.

varghesekiran said:
Please suggest me a good cabinet in that range other than NZXT Source Elite 210. Because it is very hard to find this gadget in online stores.

Link: Amazon.com : NZXT Source 210 ELITE Midtower Case with 3.0 USB - White : Desktop Computer Shell Cases : Electronics

Which CPU is faster Intel i3 4130 or AMD FX 6300? Even latest games are not using more than 2 cores so what is the use of 6 cores? Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P @ 6000 is much better than DS3 as it has USB 3.0 front MB header where DS3 does not have.

buddy FYI : there's lots of games which can utilize more than 2 cores and still they need more

As an example have a look :
Crysis 3 Performance Test: Graphics & CPU > CPU Performance - TechSpot

But the per core performance of Intel is still better hence you can be happy with you purchase

The above 2 motherboards are from 2 different chipsets and are not compatible with FX6300 as it needs motherboard like Gigabyte 970A-DS3P @ 6k.

it will work. i still suggest to get GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3 (rev. 3.0) AMD 970 + SB950 Chipset Motherboard

For 500 bucks more GA-970A-DS3P is a better choice.

Is Core i3 4130 sufficient for Witcher 3 or do I need to go for Core i5 4440?

Guys..,
I heard that AMD fx will get heated "while gaming in good graphics, it will gets heated up from idle level.. The computer will restarts if the processor gets heated than idle level."
Is it true..?
How can I overcome this issue..?

Yes it's more than true

On a serious note : there's nothing like this and you can always get an after market cooler if you need more cooling.

Every processor gets heated when performing dome demanding task and restarts itself on reaching Tj max. AMD do gets heated up a bit more but it's nothing you should have extra concerns about.

DS3P has USB 3.0 onboard header & some more PCI slots where on DS3 does not have.If your cabinet have front USB 3.0 ports then DS3P is the way to go.
Never go with MSI as they have closed shop in India and their RMA is worst ever.

Thanks for your reply. I am now considering CoolerMaster Elite 311 as cabinet. But it does not provide any usb 3.0 ports. Then i go for Cooler Master Elite 344 CPU Cabinet (Blue) which provides 1 usb 3.0 port. CoolerMaster Elite 344 is ok right..?

Try finding some reviews about it. No idea about build quality.

Guys some more doubts...

Does this Antec VP450P SMPS can provide enough power for my configuration or should i need to go for some high watt SMPS..?
Any users of this SMPS here..?
And also the graphics card you guys suggested (Sapphire HD 7770 ), Is it GDDR5 or DDR5.? Because I can see these both versions of this graphics card online.
And for mobo i will proceed with Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 Motherboard. It has two usb 3.0 ports in back. I will adjust with it.

Always buy branded and trusted SMPS as its the blood for your PC, which gives power to other components. I own Antec vp450p and its quite and doing well.

A little more headroom is not going to hurt

so if you can get a 500 / 520W PSU. Get the new GA-970A-DS3P motherboard. The gfx card suggested to you has GDDR5 memory. Online sellers usually don't want to type the extra G word

the 24 pin cable of vp450p is sleeved though. another problem is that it has shorter cable length which may become a problem in bigger cabinets.

Get Dell 20". If possible, go get it via local shop instead of getting it online. Not that I'm against online shopping, but things like monitors/ TVs / Speakers / etc can be bought for fair price locally.

Hi Piyush

Thanks for your reply. One last doubt. Does Dell E2014H has good quality than BenQ GW2255 in case of performance, brand value, after sale service ?

There's not much of performance difference one can find in regular LEDs/LCDs . Honestly, I came across good reviews of BenQ G series monitors than any other brand in that price range. After sale service is good on both sides. You may wait for few more replies from other members though.

BenQ GW2255 is a full hd monitor and is definitely better than dell 2014h. check the specs.

For monitor, get AOC 23" i2369vm which is an AH-IPS LED monitor for Rs 12,500/-. Note that AH-IPS is the best among all IPS technology. Best value for money FHD monitor.

In order to use Dual Channel Memory advantage you have to use the same ram with same ram timings so I suggested Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600Mhz CL9 -2600.
