hope this one helps you-
i5 3450-11k
gigabyte ga b75m d3h- 4.5k
corsair 1x4gb value ram -1k
cm elite 361-2.3k
corsair cx 430 v2-2.3k
wd caviar blue 500gb-3.5k
total-24.6k
edit - please specify which operating system you plan to use windows or hackintosh

Re: AMD PC Config at 27k

AMD A10-5800k -8.4k
ASUS F2A85-M-LE -5.8k
G.Skill RipjawsX(1600MHz)(F3-12800CL9S) 4GB -1.5k
WD Caviar Blue 500GB - 3.3k

@ neo but isnt hd 2500 sufficient to play ragna rock and cs ?

2500 is sufficient, but tell me, which will perform overall better - A10-5800k or i5-3450.
Also, if the op plans to overclock in future, A10 oc's quite well even with the stock cooler.
At that budget, A10 makes sense IMO

C

Thanks for Replies...

I am gonna use dual boot or triple

Windows n hackintosh

P

dear sir
a10 5800k is dirt in terms of cpu perfromance in comparison to an i5 3450
a10s compare in performance to i3s not i5s
further since the op has not mentioned about overclocking it is not nedded
(anyway even after overclocking the a10 cnnot touch the i5 except than in terms of graphics)

Intel 3.06 GHz LGA 1156 Core i3-540 Processor
Gigabyte GA-H55M-D2H Motherboard
or
ASUS P7H55-M LX Motherboard
Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB DDR3 Graphics Card

How's this i searched.. this willl enuf for me?

P

hey buddy don t even look at the lga 1156 parts they are really dead and forgotten . period

you can go for either the config posted by me or by neo
but dont ever make the mistake of going for a pc bilt on a dead platform
always consult the members here at think digit forum

^^ Whatever you are getting is completely wrong. i3-540 is a 1st generation Core series CPu which is a dead platform. So stay away.

panwala95 , have a look at Op's requirements 1st.

:Ragnarok Online & Counter strike and Browsing online videos, Basic Software's not much anime or graphics related

For doing those, even an Athlon II X2 3 GHz processor will be sufficient. Op's need is minimal for CPu performance and little high for gaming performance. For that reason A8-5800K offers far better balanced system than an Intel Core i5 3470. Try to suggest something which will provide OP the best balanced configuration, not whatever thing you can throw which fits into the budget.

P

@ cilus sorry
so ok go for whatever you like but the trinity config comes recommended
cheers!

i have another suggestion-
i3 3220-7k
gigabyte ga b75m d3h-4.2k
sapphire hd 6570 -4k (roughly equal to hd 7660d on trinity)
corsair cx 430v2-2.3k
cm elite 361-2.3k
wd caviar blue 500gb-3.5k
1x4gb corsair value ram-1k
total-24.3k

C

Thanks...

Even i called computer shop they also told i3-540 is no more available...

waiting for more suggestions

V

Go with the a10-5800k based config given by Neo.It's IGP is pretty strong for all your works.
Also you can add a more powerful graphic to it later if you want/need.

Buddy, more suggestion you will get, more confused you will be. The configs based on the Trinity setup and the above config given by panwala95 are best suited for you. My vote is for Trinity as apart from gaming, it also offers better Multi-threaded performance, good upgrade path (Next Generation Kaveri APU will be compatible with FM2 socket), better quality motherboard at the same price point, overclocking potential (Not present in Intel) and better instructions set support (AES, FMA3, FMA4) which might help in lots of applications. It also offers you GPU acceleration in applications like Winzip and Photoshop (in some extent) where the combined power of Trinity CPU + 7660D IGP can suppress similarly priced Intel i3 3220.

but amd is not compatible with hackintosh so need intel based ....

Re: AMD PC Config at 27k

Here's another suggesstion...
Intel Core i3 3220 @ 7.1K
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H @ 4.2K
G-Skill RipjawX 1600 MHz CL9 4GB X 1 @ 1.5K
WD Caviar Blue 500 GB SATA II @ 3.3K
Corsair CX 430 V2 PSU @ 2.7K
Corsair Elite 311 @ 2K
MSI HD 7750 OC 1GB GDDR5 @ 6.8K OR Gigabyte HD 7770 OC 1GB GDDR5 @ 7.9K

But this one would exceed your budget and not needed for any of your requirements, so better stick with A10 one.

Also, why on the world you want hackintosh, better use some good Linux. If u just want OSX for kicks, use it in a VM.

C

Thanks !!

Hackintosh for XCODE = iphone developing

+1 TO Neo's suggestion

Who the hell told you that? Hakintosh is also supported in AMD based configuration.

Corsair CX 430 V2 PSU @ 2.7K
Corsair Elite 311 @ 2K
MSI HD 7750 OC 1GB GDDR5 @ 6.8K OR Gigabyte HD 7770 OC 1GB GDDR5 @ 7.9K

confuse said:

You are right. Amd processor's does not support hackintosh.

There are words in forums that they do but there are no clear tutorials available to do it. If hackintosh is what you want, you should stick with intel.

Buddy he asked for low price gaming rig and this don't have a GPU.

C

Yes that time i haven't much money... now i got 12000 rs for GPU....so i just made basic component ... GPU LED monitor DVDWR UPS now i can add 1 by 1 ..hehe

C

any1 suggesting?

You want suggestion for 12k graphic card? Hd7850.

You want suggestion for 12k graphic card? Hd7850.

The Sapphire HD 7850 2 GB costs ~13.5K and 1 GB costs ~13k . This is the best card at its price...

C

AMD HD 7850 need 500 W PSU mine 450 it will support ma PSU??

finally flipkart added 7790 n 650ti boost
ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card - ZOTAC: Flipkart.com

Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 7790 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card - Sapphire: Flipkart.com

The Corsair CX430 V2 can easily handle those GPUs..it can even Handle GTX 660 or HD 7850

V

Dont go for hd 7790 or 7850 1gb!
Choose between 650ti boost 2gb or hd 7850. Both of them trade places in games so take a look of benchmarks in your favourite titles. Or get whichever is cheaper. Do note that 650ti is a new gpu so it will take sometime for fully developed drivrts, so it can become more powerful than hd7850 in 1-2 months time.

And both the gpus will run on your psu

C

hmm... yes ma mind also says go with nvidia 650 ti Boost 2GB n its support mac os also...... ok... suggest other parts also... plz check first post i edited...

Now i wanna Buy

GPU = AMD HD 7790 or Nvidia 650 ti Boost or any other which will suit for ma config (10-15k)
Monitor 22" or 24" (10k)
UPS = Suggested APC i like i ll buy before monsoon start.... (2k-4k)
Speakers 5.1 or any want good sound (2k-5k)
DVD Writer internal or External as i work OS installations also.. so i am thinking... external will be good.. suggest both
Fan = 2 more LED Fans

V

Well in 15k you can get a gtx 660
gainward one sells in Delhi for 14k, get that
Else get hd 7850 or gtx 650ti boost (both 2gb)
Dont go for hd7790 in any case as its mem will be a bottleneck + 650ti boost 1gb is miles ahead of it.

C

ok i ll get Nvidia 650 ti boost now...

suggest me

hows? benq gw2450 i am getting in 8500rs

dell s2340l/s2240l/s2440l.
first 2 have ips panels (better quality stuff), and the 24inch one has va panel (good - but not that good).

C

dell s2240l don't have dvi port....

i can use dvi to vga adapter .....

but dvi better or VGA

ur gfx card should have hdmi (mini or normal), check that before buying. and use hdmi cable instead.

C

yes nvidia 650 ti boost has hdmi port
