lol no one replied?
what happened to [MENTION=135617]rijinpk1[/MENTION] and [MENTION=140941]harshilsharma63[/MENTION] ? :O

OP wait for some time. new generation of GPUs will be launched this quarter so prices will go down.

but if you want to go with the rig now, you could buy this -

FX 6300 - 7.3k
GTX 750Ti - 11.5k
WD Blue 1TB - 3.5k
Gigabyte 970A DS3P - 5.5k
Antec VP 450p - 2.5k
Dell S2240L - 8k [get AOC I2369VM if its available for ~9k]
Any Local cabinet w/o PSU (upgrade it later for sure) - 1k
HyperXFury 4GB - 3k (add more later)

Total~42k

locally all should come within the budget

I don't actually know about quadro or firepro. wait for other members to reply.

 

[bee]

When exactly are they coming?
I have to buy it next month positively!!

@OP; prioritize your work and gaming. Games won't run great on workstation cards and and media softwares won't run great on gaming cards.

getting busy these days

FX 6300 - 7.3k
GTX 750Ti - 11.5k
WD Blue 1TB - 3.5k
Gigabyte 970A DS3P - 5.5k
Antec VP 450p - 2.5k

@ op, this should perfectly suits you. any way look for r7 265 for 12k or less. it has great opencl performance.

low end quadro or firepro does not make much sense to me. newer gen gaming gpus are also capable of running such softwares smoothly unless you are concentrating on every setting to apply where these workstation cards have an advantage. you cant expect much gaming performance too. so get a balanced gpu for both your works and then gaming. those softwares are cpu demanding too. so if possible invest in fx 8320 .all depends on your budget.

 

[bee]

But I'll be able to go halfway in the designing stuff, right?
Not the high end part

- - - Updated - - -

But sam suggested I should avoid the r7 265 to allow some breathing space for the psu

vp450p is fine for fx 6300 + r7 265.
if you choose fx 8320, get seasonic eco 500 at 3.2k/antec vp550p at 3.5k.

 

[bee]

Either I can buy the 8320 and lower the gpu
Or the 6300+ r7 265
what do you suggest?

get fx 6300 and r7 265. gaming performance will be better .

Saves me almost 2 grands

@rijinpk1 , how's Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3?

These monitors will not be full HD> Stick to 22" models.

well he can upgrade the monitor later too. getting a good CPU and GPU should be prioritized.

you can go ahead. but you may not find anything a full hd. there a benq and a philips monitor under 7.5k which are full hd. so search a bit for it.

Also
could you suggest a cheaper mobo?

[MENTION=135617]rijinpk1[/MENTION], how's Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3?

this mobo supports fx 6300. but it is based on a very old gen chipset , not really built for a piledriver cpu like fx 6300 which is newer. and i guess you will be pushing your cpu for your work. inthat case, get the cheapest mobo with 970 chipset. there is an msi one in the market. any way gigabyte 970a ds3p is relatively newer.

 

[bee]

The msi one costs the same
And there's no point buying the smaller size full HD monitor, will barely save a thousand

- - - Updated - - -

All in all I gotta extend the budget to 45k
And if dad agrees then well and good otherwise if he says not a penny more than 40k then I'll go for the sapphire 250x keeping rest of the components same
Alrighty?

BenQ one seems fine

- - - Updated - - -
