R9 290x > GTX770 in single monitor as well, as far as I'm concerned.

I think OP should get MSI R9 280X TwinFrozr 3GB instead of a GTX760 2GB, he has the budget. Edit: Or even a R9 290X, if he can stretch the budget a bit (like 10k as he mentioned) when non-reference models by MSI or Sapphire comes out.

Corsair VS450 is no way a poor choice for a PSU under a tight budget. Yes, of course it is an entry level PSU, but you can't recommend a GS or TX series PSUs for this budget. The Corsair VS450 has 34A on +12V Rail whereas the Antec VP450P has 30A on +12A Rail. I'm not saying VS450 is better...

What makes you say that? And of course, I'm not recommending that for a Rs. 30,000 rig. I also included a GPU in my build, that would let OP play games at low-med settings (at least at 1600x900 or lower).

Intel G2020 - Rs 3500 ASUS P8H61-M LX R2.0- Rs. 3000 Kingston HyperX Blu 1600MHz 1x4GB - Rs. 2250 Corsair VS450 - Rs 2200 Antec NSK4400 - Rs 1300 Powercolor HD7750 1GB GDDR5 - Rs. 6560 Total: Rs 18,810 Note: This rig can handle games quite good (low med settings), at least for the budget.

You need to upgrade your RAM (4GB is a bare minimum) and GPU to play games like Crysis 3 with decent frame rates. Which PSU do you have?

Good luck :)

Better for onlytanmoy.

Get a Corsair Carbide 400R (Rs 6,300) case and a Corsair TX650 (Rs 6,000). And for the RAM, both Corsair Vengeance and G.Skill RipjawsX are equally good, get whichever you get cheaper (~Rs 4200 for 2x 4GB). Getting a CM Hyper 212+ Evo cooler would be nice for overclocking the CPU in future...

Neither the FX series processors, or any of the 9xx series motherboard has integrated graphics. So, no 9xx series comes with a VGA port for basic display. The best thing you could do in case of primary GPU failure is getting an el-cheapo dedicated graphic card like the HD5450. They cost less...

I see. Try taking your card off, clean the dust from the cooler and put it back in. Now, use MSI Afterburner to increase the core clock by 10Mhz, apply and run a graphic intensive game (BF3/Crysis 2/3) on highest possible graphic settings for around 15mins. Keep an eye on temperatures too. If...

The GPU temperatures are not much to worry about, considering high ambient temp. Load temp should drop down to around 68-70 when it isn't too hot and with a better case. Is it a completely stock 6850? (Core: 775MHz/Memory: 1000MHz).

Cooler Master Storm Enforcer- Rs 6,500.

The FX 8350 is capable of hitting 4.8-5Ghz. I guess 4.4Ghz should be attainable in stock voltage which is perfectly safe for long term. For the temperatures, the Hyper 212+ Evo will get the job done. It is in fact, better than some entry level closed-loop liquid coolers. Coming to the HD6850...

+1. If you can get a HD7870 XT.
