few components are cheaper on FK you can buy from here Online buyer's heaven: Suggested PC configurations and links to buy online

FX 6300 7k
ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2 3k (With in built graphics)
Corsair Value select 1x 4gb 1.8k-2k
Seasonic 400W 2.5k/Corsair CX 430 2.7k/Antec VP450 3k

how the rig will start without any graphic card as FX has no igpu
remember igpu is in processor core not on mobo.

Look guys i dont understand hifi terms like igpu and all so please keep it simple.

1st of all i am confused b/w INTEL or AMD proc.
I hve been using Intel Pentium4 2.4ghz over 8 yrs now nd almost every part of my pc has either been repaired or replaced except it so i m seriously considering i3 3220 which is around 6.8K.
Still if in this range ne AMD proc performs better than i3 3220 please suggest considering i vl only play games, watch HD movies nd net surfing.
My frnd's AMD dual core proc stopped working in 1 yr dats why i hve a bad impression of it.

AMD FX-6300 is a better solution over i3 3220 any day at the 7K price point. For Motherboard, opt for Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 as minimum.

A10-6800k ???? hybrid cfx is not good option now
no doubt FX 6300 will give more performence but now in this budget it is hard to fit graphic card and it is required for any FX rig.
if op wants FX 6300 then gt630 or hd 6670 ddr5 should be minimum.

and one more thing i3 3220 is hyperthreaded.
by googling and reading bechmarks i found both i3-3220 and fx 6300 will give 55-65 FPS @ max setting with any decent graphic card like 7850 or 7890

no point suggesting intel. All pro-amd here.

i hope i dont get an infraction for this. :|

a better option will be to go for apu and later add a dedicated gpu.

Guys i dont understand these fancy words like APU or IGPU, so please try to keep it simple.

As i hve already mentioned a dedicated Graphics card i will install after 6-8 mnths as i m out of budget right now.

So right now 17-18K i will spend only on PROCESSOR, MOBO, RAM , HARD DISK. Out of which i hve decided to buy Corsair ram 4gb 1333Mhz (2K) & 1TB WD HD (4k)

If upto 7K ne AMD can perform better than INTEL please suggest considering i will only play games, watch HD movies & net surfing.

arrreyyy :facepalm:
mobo has igpu means it has any vga or hdmi output and it can utilise igpu which is in processor.
For FX series graphic card is must

^^ I guess nighthawk was asking about the AMD Motherboard. The older 7XX and 8XX (apart from 790FX and 890FX) chipset based motherboards do come with HD 3000 or HD 4000 Graphics respectively.

some old intel chipsets has igp on mobo and not on processor core ;-) Only new intel cpus comes with igp on its processor core. Some new cheap amd motherboards still have igp on mobo.

From last three generations of Intel Processors, there is no IGP in the motherboard
