i5 with 7770 ? NO!

My suggestion-
i5-3470 11000
Any B75 mobo of your choice 4-5k
4gb ram (1600mhz) 1.5k
seasonic 520w 4.8k
500gb int hd 3k
Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X 3gb 21k OR 7870 2gb 16k
Total - 45k or 40k approx

And no SSD is not required for gaming.
Exception- Skyrim(and 2-3 more). It performs a little better with an SSD.

Get an i5 3470 instead of a 3450.

The difference of price between them is at max Rs 150/Rs 200

ohh..then 3470 seems better buy..:)

Buddy, the rig you originally mentioned costed 47k, so I suggested on thet basis. That's why you should answer these questions first before making any other post: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-compon...new-pc-help-answer-these-questions-first.html
