The kind of requirements you have posted, FX-6300 is the ideal choice for you. It is a 6 Core Processor which offers far better multi tasking than an dual core i3.

@op; why do you want only an intel config?

@op; why do you want only an intel config?

For multitasking work get fx 6300 over i3 3220 anyday.

If you want intel only,then raise budget and get i5 3470

A

How much should I increase for getting i5 ?

i prefer intel because it has inbuilt graphics and also i keep run my pc 15-16 hrs per day , AMD processor may have heat problem . I am not sure

If you dont have any graphic card then you will need one to start FX rig or stick with i5

A

i think i should stick with i5 , i will buy graphics card later so Antec vp 450p psu will be fine to buy or i should consider better PSU

pls suggest

ANTEC VP 450W can handle upto hd 7850 or gtx 660 gpu.if you need more powerfull gpu then get seasonic s12 520w psu @3900

I wonder how much money Intel spent on distributors around India for this.

Right looks like everyone is bribed... :-D

AFAIK ivy runs hotter than any FX series processor ???

ya it is very old myth about amd cpus

That's not a myth. IMO it's intentional.
avg. poster in thinkdigit is below 28yrs old. So the person's birth year is 1986/87. Now internet penetration before 1995 in India was near to nil. AMD had some batches of processor which had some heating issues before 1990. So these guys when they turn 15+ is around 1999/2000. At that time there were no AMD processor batch which had issues. Now at age 15 they went to buy a PC with his father to local PC market. Now tell how the hell did that boy have a slitest idea that once upon a time AMD processors had heating issues. Unless that shop wala told his(that 15+ yr old's) father that "Intel le lijiye AMD me heating problem hai".

I am using AMD from K5 days never had any problems. All those PCs are still working. I am saving those cause if some day I become somewhat rich I want have a old hardware museum

.

When I went to buy my PII 955 BE at chandni kolkata few years back I noticed shopwala's selling these father-son/daughter combos Intel showing this heating issue.
Now tell me that 30yr old shop boy with less priviledges(read: no access to review sites ), unless his boss(the owner of shop, who is in tern told by the distributor) told him to sell Intel showing that reason how is he telling that AMD overheats???

yeah there is nothing like amd heats up too...
AFAIK due to rubbish intel stock coolers it runs much hotter, amd cpu coolers are kickass

A

so what are you guys suggesting - Intel i5 3470 or go with FX-6300 with graphics card?

i want to do heavy multitasking, run Photoshop etc . & run PC continuously for about 10-12 hrs every day

Awaiting for your suggestion.

Thanks

if you dont have a gpu then go with the i5 based config.

if you want to go highend cards like 7950 / 660ti etc. then you should get the seasonic s12 520 ~4.2K. for cards below 660 you are fine with that PSU(vp 450) with Intel config.

A

Thank you.

I am going to buy this config -

Intel i5 3470 - rs 11000

Gigabyte b75 d3h- rs 4000

Corsair vengance 4gb ram - rs 2200

Nzxt gamma cabinet - rs 2300

Wd cavier blue 500gb - rs 2900

Antec vp 450p psu - rs 2700

Total - rs 25,100

Hope it will be good

Get the Intel Z75 DZMk Motherboard @ 4.6K from Flipkart instead of B75 based one.

Intel DZ75ML-45K Motherboard

+1 for this. As i5 has turbo boost, a Z75 chipset based motherboard will allow partial overclocking of the cpu while B75 board will ont.

Good one.get z75 mobo as others suggested

+1 for z75 mobo
WD cavier blue 500 price is above 3200

You will notice in due time that Adobe Photoshop CS 6 works better with a Dedicated GPU like the GTX650 with updated drivers. My personal opinion.

guys what about low end quadro as OP has nothing to do with gaming

Idea is nice one but will not fit OP's budget

A

what will be approx price of this graphic card?

Chaitanya said:

quadro - 600 1GB ddr3
I would recommend something less then this

Quadro just for Photoshop is a bit too much,IMO. But if he is a Pro he can look in that direction.

A GTX650 for Rs 7K is a good option.

I guess HD 7770 is the best card here as both Photoshop and Premiere are adding GPU acceleration with OpenCL.
