fill up the questionnaire. Also PS4 and PC are in different leagues. A PS4 is mainky used as a media/gaming centre. Also PS4 games are 3.5k+ whereas PC games after 2-3 weeks of release get down as low as rs 1200-1800.

If you plan to buy a desktop, don't buy a preconfigured crap one. Assemble one, would be way better than the crap underpowered ones various OEM's have. Still April is 2 months ahead. Current prices may change and the suggested config will too. No point in posting a thread this early.

There is no sense in starting a thread so early. Prices change, new products are launched and configurations become irrelevant. Start a thread just one week before you intend to make the purchase.

7970 seems to be OOS on flipkart. And if it really costs 30k, why not get GTX 970 @24.5k from snapdeal?

In the questionnaire you've mentioned your budget to be 40k and here you are saying 49k. What is your actual budget?

If I include monitor then 49k
- - - Updated - - -
By unnecessary things i mean anything that is not all that important. As i would like to improve the performance of the desktop. Also, there isnt any point in playing games on ultra settings, without a hd monitor right?
btw. msi radeon r9 280 seems good, and in the us it costs 240$. Any way i can get a similar one of gigabyte probably, for the same price in india?

i dont get what you wanna say. If you have a budget of 49k then just go with what rijinpk said. If you are buying second hand stuff, tell us so.

Let me put it like this:
I NOW have a budget of 47~49k
I don't need a mouse or a keyboard. Nor do I need an OS (I already have Windows 7 ultimate)
I need everything else including a HD monitor and a cabinet.
So what is the best config, for gaming . I don't mind comprising on cabinet quality.
And no, I don't plan to buy second hand parts.
Btw would you recommend second hand parts?
Plus if I wait till April, how much difference will it make on the config?

Mid range GTX 900 series and Broadwell will get launched by then. Current prices may drop. So instead of 750 Ti in the suggested config, you may want to go with 950 or 950 Ti instead.

go with what rijinpk1 suggested. The best you will find. Also if you dont want glossy monitor go with AOC i2369vm ~ 10k
you can wait for broadwell if you want.
960 is already priced 17k everywhere and 950 will be priced 14-15k and OP's budget is of 11-12k forGPU, so no new GPU hardware for OP releasing.

Is broadwell worth waiting for? Plus is it going to release by April? Also what about Skylake?

Ambassador of Buzz
off course its going to be better but by how much who knows, also given you're budget forget about new cpu at launch. just buy a decent i5, also try and i mean really try to to extend to 55k or at least 50k. then you will be able to get something that will be pretty good at gaming and will last 2-3 years

You can buy an r7 270 @13k, and if do want to wait then wait for skylake,in any case if you want to buy in march April, you should create a thread in Feb,but hey I'm not a mod 
BTW you can go with dell st 2240l @8.2k, which many forum members have suggested in a lot of different threads, that way you can save some bucks and invest in a better gpu (when you do buy one)
