A good configuration for a 15-20k rig...?

Tried compromising on hdd?? you can get a 500 gb and save some cash

add that cash and a bit more from your side to get a 1600mhz 8 gb stick...

i had included bp300 in my config check it just change the ram and hdd...

both hdd & psu are more essential in long term compared to ram for your usage scenario.just get 4gb ram for now & buy another 4gb in future if you feel the need for it not before.

Actually it would do on any other processor

on a processor like a10 the igp will share the system's ram and hence ram available for system will significantly decrease. So a 8gb stick is strictly recommended. It will also enable greater performance of igp as people have already stated...

^^any hard facts/figures in support of your argument.even though i am not a gamer i know this much that the graphics ram used by a graphics card/subsystem is dependent on graphics processor capability.this is the reason why performance wise a 2gb GT630 is same as 1gb version.to effectively use more than 1gb graphics ram a powerful graphics card like radeon 7850 or higher is required.now deducting full 1gb ram usage for games which is still an exceptional situation as usual ram usage will be lower that still leaves 3gb ram which is adequate for normal usages on 64bit win 7.

As I will be using win7 32bit for time being I think 4gigs of ram is enough...
And hdd 1tb is a must for me...(I am a us TV series fan...lol)
Will try to get a good psu...and will add 4gig ram later...
Once again thanks for helping out guys ...

Welll ok

at least get a 1600 mhz one (gskill ripjaws/crosair vengence) for better performance...

Sure mate...

^^this is the thing to keep in mind most.performance wise 1600 ram is much better than 1333 ram for any AMD A series processor.

i checked the prices locally...WTF!
extremely overpriced....so i am thinking of getting some componets online..

processor+mobo 13.1k
but the shop where i asked dont have msi mobo which i thought of buying...he told he will get an asus mobo...!
but i checked asus website they dont have any fm2 motherboards ....so i am a bit confused here....i think he meant asrock not asus...
so can i take asus/asrock instead of msi...?

also i wil get ram and hdd from flipkart...
