I have corsair 550W and it handles it very well. no probs, so seasonic 620 will have no issues at all.

Hi Thanks dude,

it is available for 26k. i just bought from lamington road, mumbai 1 week ago.

FX 8350 is good but M5A99FX will be overkill considering you aren't interested in overclocking. Intel CPUs provide a slightly better gaming performance currently. For just gaming, i5 is better suited than FX 8350.

Thx for the thoughts and made my clear bout i5 is high five for gaming

Ya do please suggest on CPU cooler type and efficient one for my config,

both mobo will handle 280x without any problem. both the mobo are durable and will sustain for more than 3 years for sure although it depends. asus h87 pro has better features/additions than b85. you can check specs on official website.
for cpu cooler, try cooler master hyper 101.

Hi Thanks dude,

first check some local shops for 280x. HIS 280x is available at 22k. else you may consider i5 4440 available at 12.5k and asus b85mg.also for case betfenix merc alpha is also a good one. and try to get 280x or gtx 770(if available at at 27k ).

 

[beingGamer]

go for 280x you get better options to control it and its cheaper than equivalent nvidia cards.
my personal experience learnt 1 week ago when i bought it.

i5 4440 is also good, using it - i got it for 12,700.

Stock cooler isn't noisy at all.
