[MENTION=145143]SaiyanGoku[/MENTION]-did you noticed he don't need a hdd?

SaiyanGoku · Jan 28, 2015

^ he was planning to add another 1 TB HDD so I though why not include that too. Its OP's decision anyway.

UndercoveredKnight8492 · Jan 28, 2015

But he can always do that later,with gpu, no he can't
But it's his decision anyway
Cheers

Thanks SayanGoku and UndercoveredKnight.
I think I can upgrade HDD later.

FTFY

Do note that fx 4300 lacks iGPU and has higher TDP compared to i3 4130/50. If you ever need to get the GPU RMA'd, you won't get display with fx 4300 alone.

harshilsharma63 · Jan 29, 2015

I'd say skip the graphic card now as you'll be compromising a lot to include in in the budget. Get the forum's 30k config -

Processor	Intel i3 4150	7,500
CPU Cooler	Stock	0
Motherboard	GIGABYTE GA-H81M-S2PH	4,400
Memory	Kingston HyperX Blu DDR3 4 GB 1600 MHz	2,700
Graphics Card	none	0
Power Supply	Antec BP300	2,200
Cabinet	Any local cabinet without PSU	900
Internal Storage	WD Blue 500 GB 7200 RPM HDD	3,300
Optical Drive	Asus DRW 24B3ST DVD R/W	1,000
Monitor	Dell S2240L	8,800
Keyboard	Logitech MK200 Keyboard & Mouse Combo	750
Mouse	included in combo	0
	Total	31,550

It's enough for playing games at low settings at 720p. Add a graphic card later.

OP has to indefinitely increase his budget to get best GAMING RIG under 40k otherwise compromising on one or other is worthless.

Intel Core i3 4150 -7000,
Gigabyte H81M-SP2H -4400,
Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600Mhz -3000,
Sapphire R7 250X 1GB -7000,
Antec VP550P -3500,
WD Caviar Blue 1TB -3800,
Dell S2240L LED IPS -8500,
Asus 24B5ST DVDRW -1100,
Logitech MK200 -800,
Any Local Cabinet -900.
TOTAL -40,000.

Guys I think we should wait for him to reply if he can actually extend his budget, or be able to add components later

satswid · Jan 29, 2015

Hi guys,
thanks a lot for the quotes.
I can hardly raise my budget, however as I mentioned I will buy buy a separate TV, so I won't need a monitor.
You can also skip the HDD.

Also is this a good deal for me?

UndercoveredKnight8492 · Jan 29, 2015

Well then go with that I suggested

4 year old processor, not worth buying IMO. You'll have hassles with RMA if its past warranty period.

Great, I won't buy it thanks..
I was just thinking if I should opt for i5 processor and how much would I have to spend extra

UndercoveredKnight8492 · Jan 29, 2015

Well the cheapest i5 will alone would cost you more than 10k a b85 mobo 5.5k ,so I don't think you can get it without increasing budget by 10k

It's best to get the i3 config I suggested. You can easily run all games at low settings with it. There is nothing else you can get in this budget.

UndercoveredKnight8492 · Jan 30, 2015

Why everyone keep suggesting monitor and hdd, when he already stated he don't need them,is completely beyond me, he can get a gpu from that money

satswid · Jan 31, 2015

Thanks you all guys,

I came across a PC built in Aug 2014, I wonder if this would be good for me??

I confirmed that the seller is not a shopkeeper and asked for more details.

Ask him about giving a detailed config, what ram, HDD, GPU (i suspect its another of those GT 210 :lol:

), monitor and its resolution, the cabinet and the PSU. Reply back when you get the details.
