It can Easily handle BTW nVidia GTX650 is good option

7790 > GTX 650 Ti.

650 ti boost is betrer than both these but slightly over budget

More Suggestions Please....!!!!

Ashok Verma said:
More Suggestions Please....!!!!

650ti boost > 7790 > 650ti. Get the one in your budget.

FX 6300 based solution is best for you,
i3 is under powered
i5 & FX 8XXX is out of budget(consudering a balanced rig)
For graphic card try to grab zotac 650 ti boost, 7790 will work too.

Option 1. Fx6300 (CPU- 7.5k) + GA-970A-DS3 (MB - 5.5k ) + Sapphire HD 7790 1GB (GPU - 10k) = 23k
Option 2. Intel i3-3220 (CPU+GPU - 7k) + B75MD3H (MB - 4k) = 11K

No doubt option-1 has more horse power, but is the extra money approx 12k (more than 100%) for option-1 against option-2 is worth the hard earning money ?

yes obviously it worth

how can you compare 7790 vs Intel hd 2500, isnt there 500-100% diffrence in performence?
same with i3-3220 and FX 6300

Depends upon your usage. If you wanna reduce price, just get a cheaper Graphics card like HD 6670 DDR3 (around 4.2K) which will be far more powerful than the HD 4000 IGP of Intel Processor and will bring down the cost too. But if you want a good game playing experience, then you have to invest in a good GPU, both in case of Intel or AMD.

There is huge diffrence between hd 2500 and hd 7790. there is no comparison between them

Ok, agreed if graphics/GPU has more priority then, will the option-3 is it better than previous options with less price than option-1 ?

Option 3. Intel i3-3220 (CPU+GPU - 7k) + B75MD3H (MB - 4k) + Sapphire HD 7790 1GB (GPU - 10k) = 21k

The other way: If graphics/GPU is least priority then, which one is the best option ?

if graphic is least priority and processor power is main then also FX 6300 + GA-780LMT-USB3 ~ 12-13k

check flipkart after a few day the restock quickly

you can try Computer Components: Buy RAM, USB Hub, Card Readers, Cabinets, UPS | Snapdeal

the fx series does not have a gpu that is a a4 series with uses the FM2 socket

trust me BUY cabinets Locally it will be way cheaper then online shops
and yes FX series does not have on chip gpu, but if you pair it with GA-780lmt-usb3 them it will work, as it has HD 3000 onboard

I tried 2-3 shops but they dont have any good quality cabi. they show me i-ball and other local cabinets

I like corsair cabinets which one is better. 200R or 300R, on mdcomputers.in they have only about Rs. 150/- difference please check. Currently i'm using a locally purchased cabinet trust me it some times create humming sound, enough to irritate u, specially at night.

AMD has already announced their 2014-15 processor road map. And its very likely that AMD will stop Fx series processors as well as AM3+ socket. So after 2013, an investment into Fx + AM3+ will have no value.

same with intel bro...
Broadwell wont work on LGA1150, so still FX is more futureproof.
So nothing is fully FUTUREPROOF
In this budget OP can not get haswell i5 at all so why you are confusing him with FX's future and bla bla.

Version 2: Nothing is futerproof even if manufacturers says "it will support this socket"!

I have read the news in the link and didn't find out where they are saying that AM3+ socket will not support upcoming steam roller cores.

OK, Can you please suggest a value for money mother board and standard GPU for Fx6300. I think the price will cross well above 7.5+5.5+5=18k !!!

(fx6300)7.5k + (ga-78lmt-usb3)4.3k =11.8k

If I'm not wrong ga-78lmt is a 5 year old board. Can't we get a board of 2013 ?

200R is not recommended at all.get 300R which has a much better internal design.

FX-6300 @ 7.5K
Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 @ 5.5K
HD 5450 1GB DDR3 @ 1.8K

Total: 14.8K. Now when the Steam Roller based Processors will show up, you can directly update your CPu without changing the Motherboard.
