i5 3570k (14000)
MSI z77a g45 (9500)
G.Skill RipjawsX 1600 MHz 8 GB x2 (3000x2) or maybe a single B GB stick?
Sapphire HD7950 3 GB vapourX (20000)
Arctic silver 5 (550)

Total: 50050

O

Sapphire HD7950 3 GB vapourX (20000)

well check the price on flipkart its around 24 k

^ computer components at flipkart are overpriced. Chec here:SAPPHIRE GRAPHICS CARD HD 7950 VAPOR-X 3GB DDR5 OC card is available for 21600 500 shipping (max) at mdcomputers. You can easily get this card for 20k locally.

GT 630 is a joke if your requirement is "heavy gaming".

Buy HD 7950 from MD Computers like harshil suggested.

Ya, get the Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor-X with Boost version. in Vedant Computer, Kolkata, it is available at 21.4K including tax + Shipping. I got mine from them only.

how about htis motherboard? coz this has more expansion potential

Trust me, spend a little less on the GPU and upgrade to a FHD Monitor..
That 16 inch monitor is a joke compared to the might of the GPU
My Suggestion
I5 3550 - Rs 10.6 k (ebay)
MSI B75- 5K
G.Skill RipjawsX 1600 MHz 8 GB Rs 3000
Dell 222SL 8.5k
Just spend the rest of your cash on the best GPU available
HD 7850 1GB- Rs 13k
or sell the GT630
and add another 2k to GPU to buy HD 7850 2GB or GTX 660

O

i wont upgrade my monitor coz my uncle whose cmng down from us is gonna get me 1 or two monitors with approx buget of 50k! so no monitor upgrades now.....monitor in jun o july........

SLI with GT630 :lol:

go with the 7950. its highly OC-able. and when your uncle comes just get a FHD monitor.. but dont go for a multi monitor setup. 7950 is not enough for multimonitor.

on the other hand, you could get a 7870CF.

O

so i got confused now! so whats ur verdict? which gpu coz i m confused now

Since you want to overclock get this

FX8350 - Rs 11400
Asus M5A97 - Rs 6700
Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor X/ Sapphire HD 7970 - Rs 21400/Rs 28500
G.Skill RipjawsX(1600MHz)(F3-12800CL9S) 4GB*2 - Rs 3500

Rs 43,000 (HD 7950)
Get a good cabinet and a cpu cooleer with the rest of the amount.

Rs 50,100 (HD 7970)
Now anything is possible!

Or

i5 3570K - Rs 13500
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H - Rs 12075
Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor X - Rs 21400
G.Skill RipjawsX(1600MHz)(F3-12800CL9S) 4GB*2 - Rs 3500

Total - Rs 50,475

get a 7950 [7970 if possible and budget permits] and OC it. add just one FHD monitor and game in glory.

O

well i might go for 7950

coz m thinkin of buyin ssd also!
should i buy ssd or go for 7970???

Will you be using dual monitors? Well, if yes go for 7970, else get the 7950 and an ssd.

no logic going for ssd with 45k budget.. go for the 7970 and FHD monitor.

Buddy, SSD is a component which van be added anytime in future but GPU...I don't think we upgrade a 22K or 27K GPU in every couple of months. Now concentrate on the core components like CPU, Motherboard, GPU, PSU etc to make a solid and long lasting rig. Add the SSD later.

O

i ll go for 7970 coz i plan on having dual monitors in abt half yrs time

also i recently read tht next microarchitecture cpu may arrive by june and tht it wont have lga 1155 but lga 1150 socket..... so is the wait worthwhile or build rig in april only????

If you can then wait

O

but is the haswell microarch so better than current?? coz if it releases in june it will arrive in the market by jul o aug i guess :O

obviously the haswell is better than the IBs and SBs.. but by how much, we will know when the figues arrive

And costlier.

that too..

@OP: once you start waiting, you will keep on waiting. fix up your mind, debate on the config and then jump in

O

well ive decided i ll jump in!!! just for info: is lga 1155 being discontinued???
ps: i ll buy components in next week maybe!!!

If you can extend your budget by 5k then this is your best config to buy:

AMD FX 8350 -11400,
Asus M5A97 R2.0 -5500,
Gigabyte HD7850 2GB -13500,
WD 1TB Black -5500,
