If it were to be future-proof , I would like to make some ammendment and suggest AMD FX-8350 , and a Powerful GPU (like 7950) with as much Graphic memory possible within budget. Upcoming games are going to be hungry on GPU(Specially the amount of memory.)

i did suggest the radeon hd 7950 boost.
also if he goes for amd fx8350 op could even afford a radeon hd 7970. you are right.

^ I guess no one would prefer to buy a Bit Fenix Merc Alpha specially when someone have a Budget of 90k.

My Suggestion...

Processor	Intel i5 3750k	14,300
After Market Cooler	Cooler Master Hyper 212X	2,000
Motherboard	Gigabyte Z77X UD3H	12,000
Memory	Gskill Ripjaws X 8GB (4GB x 2) 1600MHz CL9	3,500
Graphics Card	Sapphire HD7950	22,000
Power Supply	Corsair GS600	4,000
Cabinet	Corsair Carbide 400r	4,500
Internal Storage	Toshiba 1TB Sata III 7200rpm 32MB Cache	4,100
Optical Drive	Asus DRW 24B3ST DVD R/W	1,000
Monitor	Dell Ultrasharp U2312M	13,500
UPS	APC 1100VA	5,200
	Total	86,100

Look for nothing below the above configuration. I have left Keyboard upto you. You can either grab a Membrene Board for 500 bucks or get a Mechanical Keyboard for 5000 depending on the games you play.

i meant to say if it werent for the i7 corsair 400r dell 23 ultrasharp would have been possible and also for the ssd the budget could not be maintained and so the bitfenix merc alpha.
i am sorry if it hurt your feelings.

@Cilus : Do you think its wise to suggest MSI Products now at this point of time ?? I guess its better to suggest either Gigabyte or Asus here.

@Gta0Gagan : Invite your friend to discuss here. Its better to explain him how important it is to grab an i5 3570k or amd FX 8350 rather than i7 3770k.

gagan_kumar · Apr 23, 2013

ok i talked to him and i convinced him tat fx 8350 , i5 3570 k and i7 33770k will all give same lvl of gaming performance so he said anything will do for procc out of three.......

and ya i agree with d3p i thought msi was quitting indian market
also if he could come here he wouldn't need to ask me for the new rig i already told him tat tdf guys helped me build it....

also i think TVS mech KB is available around 2000 buck (i need sm1 to confirm this)

@cilus since when do we started to compare ps4 and xbox 720 with gaming pcs they are consoles they are meant to be always ahead of pc's in gaming (else no one would opt for it) that's y we have console only title, which till now have no pc port (like halo 3) i understand the concern for the requirement of increasing vram but 8gb?? i dont think game developer will force pc player to buy expensive GPU's exclusively for for their titles

personally i think 3 gb vram of hd 7950/70 should be enough for like atleast 2-3 years....... and cpu i thinkfx 8350 will be good for future proofing as suggested by cilus

Grab an i5 3570k or FX 8350 its purely meant to unleash at Gaming, provided you pair it with 7970. I feel HD 7950 might fall short while playing Crysis 3 or may be upcoming titles like Battlefield 4.

For Mechanical Keyboards, even TVS Gold is another good option, but they were never meant for gaming. As for Yamaha, i doubt. Get the Razer Blackwidow [4.5k] or Steelseries 6Gv2 [5.5k].

Grab Corsair TX 650 v2 or XFX Black edition 650w. These are going cheap at SP Road day by day. I don't see a requirement of SSD here, so stick to Conventional HDD's.

Also suggest him to grab a Pair of Decent Gaming Headphones in case of no Speakers. Get either a Corsair Vengence 1500 or Steelseries Siberia v2.

Buddy, you didn't understand what I was trying to point out. Initially it was a problem because X86 based PC architecture and RISC architecture (Read CELL Processor) based gaming consoles are of completely different architecture and developing a game which is optimized for both of them was a extreme tough job. But now as Consoles like XBOX 720 and PS4 are using X86 based Processor and Desktop GPU design to power them selves, developers can develop games and make it optimized for both the platforms. Both of the above mentioned consoles come with 8 Core Jaguar CPU which means you'll see more and more multi-core optimized games in console platform and when porting them for PC, it will be easy for them to make it use as many cores as possible rather than making it more dependent upon single core performance.

You are mixing it up with musical Keyboards. Yamaha is not in to PC input device business at the moment.

sorry got confused with yamaha and tvs........

phrick · Apr 23, 2013

the mobo i suggested has a sound core 3d sound processor with headphone amplifier: your friend might need it if he buys gaming headphones. also you could change the i7 with i5 and get a radeon hd 7970 or gtx 670.

Well 3GB Vram enough for next 3 years ??? I am not sure if this will hold true for sure. It'll be good , but not enough.

Ok this rig looks good both for processing as well as gpu power...
now the total comes out to be around 82.07k
so with with remaining balance suggest better components ...

also plz suggest mobo with bluetooth and wifi as i don't want him to face same problem i m facing......

but i think i7 3770k has more processing power as compared to fx 8350 ???(correct me if i m wrong)

Sainatarajan · Apr 24, 2013

The FX 8350 is neck and neck with the i7 3770K which is priced 9k more...

So the FX 8350 is the best option.
