Ans:
Here is what I am planning to go with
i3 2120 = 6950 (local price) 122$
Intel DH67CL = 5400(local price) 98$
Corsair 4 GB RAM = 1350(flipkart) 23$= 13700-2700(Sale of Old mobo, processor, ram) = 11000. Keep the balance 4000 and save for a better GFX and PSU later
I will keep the case from my old PC, 17in CRT Monitor resolution 1280x1024(i know pretty lame), Speakers, Mouse Keyboard etc
or I have another option
All prices from flipkart. Maybe available cheaper locally.
Intel Dual Core G620 = 3466 60$
+
Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H Motherboard = 3168 55$
+
MSI AMD/ATI R6770-MD1GD5 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card = 6863 120$/ OR A STANDARD LED Monitor for same 6800(120$)
+
Corsair 4 GB RAM = 1350 23$
+
Crosair CMPSU-430CXV2UK 430 Watts PSU = 2536 44$
Total 17390-2700 = 14990 (263$) Later Save for a LED Monitor.
My questions
1. Which build is better?
2. Should i get a LED Monitor Now or Get the GFX.
3. How is the performance of G620 and will it bottleneck 6770.
4. Is it worth investing in i3 now without GFX or get some new processor+motheboard after a year or two..??
I have to keep this rig for atleast 2 years before any further upgrades, unless i save for a monitor. Will the G620 sustain me till then..??
Thanks.
