I have a config in mind, Need help in alternate suggestions and how can i improve it within my budget. And Shall I go with AMD instead of the current one i have in mind.

Intel i5 4440 - Rs 10800
Asus B85M-G Rs 5600
Vengeance 4X4GB Rs 10000 (Rs 2500 Per RAM)
Corsair Spec 2 Rs 3650
WD Blue 1TB Rs 2875
Optical Drive Rs 1050
Dell S2240L Rs 8200
Logitech KBM Combo Rs 1000
Samsung 840 120GB Rs 4800

Now I need advice on alternates that will future proof the config as well as increase the performance.

Also I got a Pricing for FX 8320 @ Rs 9550 & Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P @ Rs 5000

1. Need Options for Graphics Card
2. PSU Options
3. Should I go with the SSD mentioned above or 840 PRO Series 128GB, Differences ?
4. What changes will enable me to fully utilize my budget of 65K ?
5. Any other Cabinet Options within my budget ?
6. It gets very hot in this part of the country, Should i get cooling options if the budget allows.


Thanks in Advance

In my opinion you should go with AMD. I am using FX8120 in Punjab where the summers are too hot.
Get
FX8320 - 9550
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P - 5000
GSkill RipjawsX 16GB - 10.7k Buy Online Gskill RipjawsX F3-12800CL10D-16GBXl RAM in India
Antec VP550P - 3.7k
Corsair Spec 2 - 3650
WD Blue 1TB - 2875
Optical Drive - 1050
Dell S2240L - 8200
Logitech KBM Combo - 1000
Deepcool Neptwin - 3650

For the remaining you can get a good Graphic Card. It can be suggested by some other user. I am not good at them.
Having the extra Cores really help in VM and Hadoop is highly demanding Big Data Solution.

For most the SSD as the OS/Boot drive is the way to go and for games, software and movie etc. It all depends on your budget, SSD are expensive however they are worth every penny. The difference between Samsung 840 and 840 pro is read and write speed. In Samsung 840 pro Read and write speed is 540MB/s and 520 MB/s. In Samsung 840 Read and write speed is 540MB/s and 250 MB/s.

For PSU, you can go with any brand; based on your budget, but the minimum requirement of 600W for future upgradation.

For monitor and casing, you can go with any Local brand; based on your budget.

Here are some options for you.

Intel I5 4690 or 4690k for OC.
Asus 6 hero or MSI Z87 pro.
Vengeance 8X2GB.
Samsung 850 pro 128GB SSD
WD Blue 1TB
GTX 960
Corsair CX 600W

Hope it helps.

Not good advice mate.

> PSU of any brand? Seriously no. Avoid Corsair CX and VS series and Cooler Master's low end PSU's. Seasonic S12II is what's recommended or an Antec VP550P is budget is low.

> Local cabinet? Try using a full length graphic card like the GTX 960 in a local cabinet. The card is as long as the whole cabinet itself. Plus the extremely poor airflow and cable management provisions.

> Again, CX isn't any good part. Avoid it.

An FX 8350 config will be idle for your requirements. Here's my suggestion -

ProcessorFX 8350

Add a Samsung 850 Evo 120 GB SSD to that and you are ready to roll.

Hey man check amazon.in for Dell S2240L. I got another one yesterday at 8000.
I wont suggest using the stock cooler. Also If you want to overclock dont get 970A

You can get S12II for slightly more cash, which is a much better product.
