@MOD please change the title to " highly cash - strained configuration ". As the title suggested by the OP is somewhat misleading.

To be very honest. it will be able to handle only old games at the resolution you demand. 720p. otherwise the config suggested by you is pretty good, if budget allows get a better gpu like the 5670 and skimp a little on the cabinet (go for something cheaper, coz these days 50k+ pc's also using the same cabinet and since price is the main concern here you can make do with cheaper cabinets like : iBall Piano 414 comes with a SMPS. )



You could also go for this config :


AMD 3.2 GHz AM3 Athlon II 260 Processor @ 3.4k
ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2 Motherboard @ 2.7k

If your PSU is 450w+ i suggest invest the extra money in a GTX 550 and that is a very very good card if you can get it for around 6k / look for GTX 550 Ti @ 6.5k

@All the above , I don't need such graphics cards because light gaming means just a few PCSX2 games.

Thinking of finalizing this config :
Intel Core i3 2120 + Gigabyte GA H61 D2H Mobo + Corsair 4GB DDR3 RAM : 11.5k (Combo Deal)
Generic Cabinet : Rs 950 ( Will buy locally)

ATI HD 5770 : 4k (Erodov , probably after a couple of months)

yes it is
but remember that you need a quality psu like corsair vs 450 @ 2k to run a hd 5770
good luck!
Click to expand...

+1 again
don't buy products like iball, zebronics etc for saving few bucks
cause they can cost you big time somewhere in the future...
and until and unless there is a huge difference in price between cooler master and some other known brand
like corsair and you need to save few bucks don't go with cooler master psu..

rest you'll be fine...

cheers!
