﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿ O'RLY?
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: Gaming (All the upcoming games specially Baattlefield 4, Witcher 3 , Watch Dogs).

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 30 K (without GPU) , will buy the GPU after 5-6 months. Please suggest the PSU/MOBO keeping in mind of a 15-20K GPU

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Yes, but not at very first day, will overclock if there will be a significant boost in some particular case.

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 8 / Linux(BT)

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 1TB

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: Currently have a CRT Monitor :)D). Monitor part will consider later.

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Monitor,UPS,GPU,Keyboard,Mouse.

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: In next 2-3 months.

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: I have not, but I can assemble.

10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: Kolkata/Flipkart

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:

End of Formalities, Long story short, I want to buy the CPU without GPU within the budget of 30 K. I read the previous threads and saw good feedback about these two processors , FX8350 and i5 4570. How is AMD proc in long run? I am planning it for 3-5 years.

I dont need a monitor right now.

And at the end I need a sexy Cabinet ;)

Yo arjit. Giving some frank opinions here:
From the image below we can see that 6300 is maxed out on all of it's cores
And the 8350 has 1 core with 95% usage [it means that the rest 7 cores of the amd arent being utilised as it's core per clock is quite slow]

Go with an i5 or an 8350 at the least :)

Your current specs?

Actually for i5 and fx 8350 he has to spend rs 6000 extra and rs 2000 for mobo that will overshoot the budget even if he cut down the ram to 4gb

Yeah, looking for atleast i5 or 8350. I can stretch the budget if necessary.

I am not upgrading, building a completely new rig. Will buy the GPU later.

If you're taking an AMD proccy you need a GPU

IGP??

Hmm.. :( Allright I can increase the budget.

Suggest an i5 rig.

IGP??

Then get fx 8350 @13k and Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 @8.1k + Gt 210 gpu @1.8k

In intel i5 4430 @13k and Gigabyte h87 d3h @7.3k


The FX series DOES NOT have integrated graphics onboard the CPU itself. if the motherboard has an integrated graphics chipset, it will be fine

FX 8350 does not have an IGP. You have to use a discreet graphic card.

i5 -4570 14krs
Asus B85m-G 6.3k rs
Kingston HyperX Blu 1600 MHz 2x4GB GB - 5200
WD blue 1tb - 4100rs
Seasonic S12 520w psu - rs 4100
Asus 24x dvd writer - rs 1000
--------------------------
Total = 34.7k

This rig can play Dota2 on Max settings with 50fps avg on 1080p [I have the same cpu/mobo and i play without any discreet gfx card]

Also read this quote:

I have the i5-4570 and i must tell, it's a beast of a CPU.
Since the i5 consumes very less energy.. According to my calculation i will save around 6500Rs per year [compared to an fx 8350] considering the fact i keep my PC usually 24x7 ON. [It's still on from the day i bought it, never switched off only restarted a few times for updates] Also i got a cheap mobo [since it wont overclock no need for high end mobo]
Also i saved 2.5k rs on the fan cooler needed for AMD cpus, also less temps , less heat :D

In total this is the amount i saved over a 8350 rig in terms of inital cost: 2500 RS
In 1 year: 2500+6500 rs = 9000rs
In 2 years: 9000+6500 = 15,5000Rs

Also i don't have any graphics card as of now , because the integrated gpu is fine for running Dota2/CS:GO on max settings :D [Waiting for new AMD cards to hit the market]
ALSO Overclocking always has a chance of frying the mobo/damaging other parts/voiding the warranty and i5 4570 is faster per core performance.
Also the i5 is a newer 22nm manufcatured unlike the 8350 which is 32nm old gen [If it concerns you]
I'd recommend the 4570.
Here's a comparison: Intel Core i5 4570 vs AMD FX 8350
Anyone is free to point out my mistakes :)

All mobos supporting FX 83xx series dont have IGP
