At your budget, it is little difficult to get a powerful gaming rig, let me try:-
AMD FX-4300 (4 Core, 4MB L2 + 4MB L3 Cache) @ 6.4K
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 @ 4K
Kingston HyperX Blu DDR3 4 GB PC RAM (KHX1600C9AD3B1K2/4G) @ 2.7K
WD Caviar Blue 500GB SATA III 6 Gbps HDD @ 3K
AOC 19.5 inch LED Backlit LCD - e2070Swnl @ 6.2K
Sapphire R7 250X 1GB GDDR5 @ 7.8K
Asus 24X SATA DVD R/W @ 1K

Total: 31.15K

One recommended update is to spend 1K more and get a FX-6300 Hexa Core Processor. It offers 2 more cores and extra 4MB of L3 Cache (total 8MB L3) which provide good amount of performance improvement over FX-4300. Price is 7.45K (*vedantcomputers.com/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name=6300&product_id=904)

[MENTION=68896]Cilus[/MENTION] thx for the reply. I maybe able to get fx-6300 since i already have dvd drive i forgot to mention that. But is hexacore worth it ?

Hey also recommend a good psu

 

[Cilus]

For that configuration, ANTEC VP450 @ 2.6K will be sufficient.

 

[setanjan123]

Ok. Thx

 

[Nerevarine]

I would suggest getting the Dell IN2030M instead of AOC 19.5 inch LED Backlit LCD - e2070Swnl @ 6.2K..
They are the same price, I had bought for Rs 5800..It is a tried and tested monitor, many people here own it and I can assure you Dell warranty is very good
Also OP has to spend some extra money on a local good quality cabinet.. Try and use it temporarily and upgrade to a better one later

 

[setanjan123]

Will check out both monitors. BTW i want to reuse my cabinet. Its an iball one. Maybe ill buy a better one in the future. Cant i use my current one?

Yes you can,but make sure it provides adequate ventilation for the critical components of ur pc such as cpu,gpu,ram etc.

 

[setanjan123]

Guys sorry for bumping old thread but due to sm problems i couldnt buy the pc at that time. Now i have increased budget to 40k max. Specs are more or less the same as Cilus suggested with the exception of 8gb hyperx blu ram,seagate barracuda 1tb and a galaxy gtx 750 oc 1gb. All prices are from flipkart and total is coming at nearly 40k. Cpu fx 6300. Is this pc good enough for 900p gaming? I heard gtx 750>r7 250x. Not sure abt the galaxy brand. Suggest any changes. I may have 1-2k more leeway since ill be selling old rig

- - - Updated - - -

I was thinking abt increasing budget a lil bit and get either gtx 750 ti or r7 260x if worth it. Will 450w psu be enough for either card? Also i am worried about buying from flipkart. Someone told me that pc components brought from flipkart are refused for ASS in service centres. Is that true? Reply soon plz

 

[rijinpk1]

fx 6300- 7.2k
gigabyte 970a ds3p - 5.8k
kingston hyperx fury 4gb - 2.8k
gtx 750ti - 10.5k
wd blue 1tb -3.5k
antec vp550p - 3.5k/vp450p - 2.6k
dell s2240l - 8.2k
use your cabinet for now. buy locally. if you end up buying from flipkart, you may have to spend a lot more. BTW, that price of the gpu is from flipkart

 

[setanjan123]

rijinpk1 rijinpk yeah price of that card is from flipkart. Locally it costs almost 1.5k more. Thats the only thing thats cheaper at fk. All the other parts are a bit cheaper or same at vedant computers here.

 

[rijinpk1]

^^ remember to get the suggested full hd monitor. it is great for its price.

 

[setanjan123]

But will the config be good for 1080p? I was more inclined towards 900p since it will be more future proof for dis config.

 

[rijinpk1]

you may have to lower the settings. but that monitor is absolute vfm. great picture quality since it is an ips one.

 

[setanjan123]

Ok. If i get it for that price i may get it. The extra 3k for fhd display is really stretching my budget bt if its vfm ill try. Btw i cant find hyperx blu for 2.8 anywhere. Its 3.2k and dont you think i should atleast get 6-8 gigs RAM? Also the mobo you suggested,its pcie 2.0 or 3.0. Thanx

Avoid galaxy and go for zotac instead-they usually provide 5 years warranty on their graphics cards and is therefore preferable to other brands.

Also if you can't afford a 22" FHD monitor right now,u may opt for a 20" model with a max supported resolution of 900p-its pretty much adequate for a satisfactory gaming experience.

 

[setanjan123]

quicky008 yeah the price for that gtx 750 frm galaxy was a bit low too so i got suspicious. Anyways im getting zotac gtx 750 Ti. Another question if you dont mind,which is more enjoyable,playing at 900p or at 1080p with settings lowered. I am specifically talking abt my config and i want to use it for 4 yrs straight so just want it to be a bit future proof

The differences between the visual fidelity of a 1080p and a 900p display device are barely noticeable unless you're using a huge screen-say 32" or higher.In other words,you won't notice much of a difference between the image quality of a 1080p and a 900p monitor as far as gaming is concerned.In fact I've a 900p Samsung 20" monitor myself and i've played countless games on it for the last couple of years and I can assure you that gaming on a decent 900p monitor is definitely an enjoyable experience-if you have a good gpu,visuals looks amazing even at 900p.

 

[setanjan123]

quicky008 Ok thanx. I wont be able to get that dell fhd anyway since it costs 9.3k here. A 900p display would be perfect. I am worried about buying that 750 Ti frm fk. Any idea how to check if the seller is good?
