And
Sapphire HD5670 512MB GDDR5 @ 5.6k

IMHO, the processor+motherboard should be this as it's faster yet cheaper by 1.6k:-
Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz @ 5.2k
ECS 785GM-M @ 4.8k

Hi rahul_007

Buddy if you're planning the pc for gaming then the i3 530 is a good option not because its a dual core but of its onboard pci-express controller that communicates with the gpu directly.

But if you do a lot media transcoding like conversion then the amd athlon x4 is a good option.Sure hyperthreading allows the i3 530 to work simultaneously in 4 threads but 4 physical cores which the amd offers makes a difference and price to performance wise, its a more viable option.

Regarding on the non intel mobo for i3 , try the ASUS P7H55D-M EVO LGA 1156 Intel H55 or look for gigabyte or msi boards of same h55 chipset.
You can also try p55 boards but you'll be unable to use the on-die gpu of i3 530 in case you dont buy a discrete gpu.

Depends on you.Since you say you're a casual gamer then the i3 is best for you.

If portability and mobility is your thing then go with an inspiron laptop with core i3 proccy and ati 4330 graphics.

But a desktop is more future proof and opens a lot upgrading options in the long run sans mobility.

Your call.......

latest price for i3 530?

and can you guys suggest a mobo for this CPU which is non-igp, if the chipset is from Nvidia it would be better rather than intel i think. And the price range of Rs 4.5k-5.5k would be sweet.. :)

and also suggest a GPU for about Rs. 4.5k-5.5k from Nvidia..
