^^The budget is too tight buddy. The G620 belongs to the Sandy Bridge family. So don't compare it to a dual core. The performance is way better. But don't confirm yet. Maybe someone will come up with a better config.

Yaa the budget is really tight :-(

So you this processor will be able to play,I think as the resolution is 1440X900 the game are going to be more GPU dependent? Am I right?

What is the cost of a bit higher clocked SB Dual Core?

Guys no HDD Required

Guys NO HDD REQUIRED

@Ankit2695 then get a MSI HD 6850 @9.5k or sapphire HD 7770 .
The processor is fine I think for the res. 1440x900 .

G620 is enough for all games at full HD except maybe for some games which are core intensive but even those games should be able to run at mid settings/resolution.for a detailed explanation see here:

Thank youu guys :):mrgreen:
 
I would suggest getting Corsair CX430V2. It has sleeved cables that will allow for neatness. Also the 3-year warranty. :)

If you're going for Value RAM, then get Corsair Value 4GB DDR3 1333MHz.
