you cant buy a gaming setup for 17k.you need at least 50k for a decent setup.

As much as I hate to say this,get a console for normal gaming.

simply put,

AMD uses mechanism where pins are on CPU,Intel uses mechanism where pins are on mobo.In an AMD system you are more likely to bend a pin than in an intel system.

Thats the only reason I can think of for an ultrabudget system :p

and no,Core i3 is faster than athlon II X4.but I will agree that it will offer more value because total price for an athlon system will include a better GPU.

simply take piyush setup. & get athlon II x3 and HD5670. then start gaming. it'll make you forget what proccy is inside. at the end of the day a good setup matters. not whats ticking inside.

I know i exceeded the budget by almost 3k but since you mentioned you want your PC to be future proof i had to include the ATI 5670 , trust me it is definitely worth buying that instead of anything cheaper which wont even run games releasing next year probably.

@OP
if you have limited budget
then go for this
AMD Athlon II x4 635 @ 4k / AMD athlon II x3 440 @ 3.3k
Asus M4A78LT-M LE @ 2.7k
2gb ddr3 1333 ram @ 1k
500gb seagate/WD HDD @ 1.7k
FSP saga II 350W @ 1.5k
Zebronics Bijli @ 1k
numeric 600VA @ 1.5k
AMD HD 5670 @ 4.5k

and if you can add 2-3 k
then just change the processor and motherboard to
core i3 540 @ 4.7k
gigabyte H55 @ 3.5k
