Need gaming pc configuration under 23k

[Karan16]

Hi all, I'm New to this Forum
Need your help in building my gaming pc.
i wanted to build a gaming pc under 23k urgent.
so i want to get some details. Please help.


1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: Mainly For gaming Battlefield 4, Crysis, Far Cry or any other games which are not too old.

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: Overall budget is 23k. Can be extended by 2-3K.

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No.

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: win 7/8 basic if it supports latest games or else the professional version

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 320GB or may be 500GB if there is not much price difference.

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: i want to buy dell E2014h led monitor which has resolution of 1600x900

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: At present i don't want to buy a separate PSU.

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Within 2-4 days

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: yes, i can assemble

10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: I'm from Mumbai. I'll buy from Lamington Road or Flipkart, whichever is cheaper.

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: i want to play latest games smoothly without any lag also with better FPS. So please suggest a best configuration.


In lamington one has suggested me to go for apu series processor.

Are AMD APU's good for gaming ??
please suggest if the 4 core APU (without separate Graphics card) will run (BF4 or any latest games) smoothly with good FPS ?
and which APU model and Mobo should i get?
so that i can save on graphics card.

my remaining config is

Dell E2014 = 6100
APU (4 cores) + MOBO = (don't know) ?
Logitech MK200 KBD + Mouse = 800
4GB DDR3 Corsair 1333= 2600
local Cabinet with PSU = 1100
WD 320GB = 2800

Presently i will use local cabinet with PSU inside.

Thank You

Dell E2014 19" LED -6100,
AMD A8-6600k -6800,
Gigabyte GA-F2A55M-HD2 -4000,
Logitech MK200 -800,
Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600Mhz -2600,
Deepcool TESSERACT -2700,
Antec VP450P -2600,
WD Caviar Blue 500GB -3000,
TOTAL -28,600.

1.local PSUs are not recommended.
2.Dedicated GPUs are always better than APUs
3.A 25k rig won't be any good for gaming, maybe save up a little and then buy a better one

i reduced the psu and cabinet from bavusani's build because any apu wont ever need more than 300 watts of constant supply and the deepcool cabinet altough very good is an overkill for your budget so if you wont be upgrading by addind a seperate gpu afterwards then go with my build but if you plan to add another gpu for hybrid crossfireX then go with bavusani's build.

adityak469, in this budget an apu is much better than cpu+gpu for gaming.
an a8-6600k costs 6.8k
if we go the cpu+gpu way and spend 3.2k on an intel Pentium g2020 which is a slower cpu than a8-6600k and gets a nvdia 620 for 3.6k
which is worse than the integrated hd 8570d in the apu

*www.game-debate.com/cpu/index.php?pid=1273&pid2=1248&compare=pentium-g2020-2-9ghz-vs-apu-a8-6600k

and as icing on the cake,the apu can be overclocked (altough not to a great extent on the stock cooler but yes a 7to8% overclock would be easy.)

AMD Radeon HD 5450 Sapphire 1GB DDR3 Edition compare Nvidia GeForce GT 620 GPU


Intel Pentium G2020 2.9GHz compare AMD APU A8-6600K CPU

yes i know, but i also said that OP should increase his budget didn't i? Because gaming in this rig won't last long.

 

[topgear]

Intel Pentium G3220 @3.7k
H81M S1 @ 3.5k
EVM 4GB 1333 Mhz Ram @ 2.4k
Dell E2014H @ 6.1k
Corsair VS450 @ 2k
WD 500GB HDD @ 3k
CM Elite 311 @ 2.3k
Basic KB+Mouse @ 0.3k

Total 23.3k

Now if Op opts for a basic 500W PSu and cabinet it will save him say 2.5k. With his budget of 26k then 5.2k would be left which is enough to buy a R7 240 1GB DDR5 graphic card.

Op can savve more by opting for G2020 and a Biostar H61 motherboard @ 6k only which will give his create another 1.2k headroom. 6.4k is enough for good graphic card like R7 250 DDr5.

As a cpu G3220 / 2020 is no slouch and has enough gaming power wehn paired up with a decent discrete graphic card:

Friends, thank-you for giving me some valuable comments and configurations.

I got some info about APU A8-6600k here...

The Verdict On AMD's A8-6600K, And Surprising Revelations Testing An A10-6800K With Dual Graphics - Forbes

Actually I'm trying to build g.zone with 6 similar rigs. sorry i did not mention it earlier.
but at the same time should be running smoothly in at-least high settings without any lag when comes to multiplayer mode.


also i want to add here that
one guy is offering me core i3 3210 3.2ghz USED Desktop's which has integrated Intel HD Graphics 2500.
will it make sense if i add a graphics card in around 5k with this core i3 to be able to play
all new games in range from High to Ultra settings.

but i'm in doubt whether the core i3 is not for gaming as i read somewhere. is that true?
also i don't want to bottleneck with CPU.

yes it'd be good, but high to ultra? NO maybe medium settings for an year or two then low.

thanks adityak469 for your review on intel i3

So finally i think, would go with AMD FX series 4300 or 6300

i saw these compatible mobo's with fx series
Asus M5A97 r2.0 : it is AM3+, supports 1600 ram but costlier at 7k and no vga too.

with gigabytes :
GA-78LMT-S2
GA-78LMT-S2PT
GA-78LMT-USB3

but they have upto DDR3 1333 ram support
but on gigabyte website they have given "Supports DDR3 1333+" does this mean speed can go up to 1600?

will these support corsair vengeance 1600 ram or will be waste ?

don't get these, get a 970A chipset one like Gigabyte 970A DS3P. And AFAIK, they don't have vga, and if you'll be adding a GPU then why do you need vga?

Also tell me is it good enough to have 1 single stick of 4gb DDR3 RAM 1600
or (2x 2gb) 4GB sticks to get dual channel performance

does it really make some difference?

it won't make much difference

get a single 4gb stick now. get another when need arises.
