Best cpu/gpu combo

So I'm building a mobile gaming rig to take to college... And I've decided on all the components but the cpu+gpu

here are my choices...

1.G630(can't find 680, plan to get a i5 in a year)+icq 6870

2. I3 2120+hd 7770 sapphire

which is better?
How much bottleneck with the g630 am I looking at, if any?

Only things I'll be running with the games is steam, utorrent (tv shows) and antivirus.

P.S. My monitor is 1366x768

I would vote for the first one.

Intel Pentium Dual Core G645 along with a 6870.

But since you plan to upgrade to Core i5 in later stage, I would suggest reduce the grfx card if needed to accommodate a better motherboard which can handle Core i5 properly

Are you buying a new HD 6870? If yes then please stop. 6870 is not less than 11.5K. by paying little extra you can get a new HD 7850 which is way more powerful

My total budget is around 25k for the two.

HD 7850 for 12k? Where?

I mean, the lowest price I can find on even the 6870 is 12.5k (itdepot).

Better give your full system config.
Try i5 3450 and a 7850.
Cant seem to manage a 7870 in that budget though.

Here you go.
GIGABYTE GRAPHIC CARD RADEON HD 7850 2GB DDR5 OC

MD computers is a very good place to buy computer stuff. You can search for other models too.

Budget Rs 16500

Cpu - Intel Pentium G645 - Rs 3300
GPU - SAPPHIRE HD 7850 - Rs 13680 max

Total - Rs 16680!

Best at that budget for gaming.

Update... I scored a old matx case form my friend's place (recently helped her sell out her old pc), and I dropped the mouse, bringing the budget up to 19.5k. I think I can get i3 and hd 6870, and even 7850, if I drop one ram stick (or switch to cheaper brands.)

what do you guys think? Will 4 gb do for gaming+utorrent?

going cheap on essential components? not recommended. better extend your budget and buy better components.
