Welcome to TDF

Corsair VS isn't good enough.

Processor	AMD FX 4300	5,900
CPU Cooler	Stock	0
Motherboard	Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3	4,150
Memory	Corsair Value Select 4 GB 1600 MHz	2,600
Graphics Card	Sapphire R7 250 1GB DDR5 Boost	6,200
Power Supply	Antec VP450	2,600
Cabinet	Any local cabinet without PSU	900
Internal Storage	WD Blue 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD	3,400

Check my newer post below

What [MENTION=140941]harshilsharma63[/MENTION] has suggested is a good rig. I would just like to update the prices a bit and suggest a different graphics card.

Processor AMD FX 4300 (from Snapdeal - Use COMP7 code) 5,500
CPU Cooler Stock 0
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3(Snapdeal - COMP7) 4,050
Memory Corsair Value Select 4 GB 1600 MHz 2,600
Graphics Card Sapphire HD7770 1GB DDR5 (SnapDeal - COMP7) 7,200
Power Supply Antec VP450 2,600
Cabinet Any local cabinet without PSU 500
Internal Storage WD Blue 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD 3,400
Optical Drive none 0
Monitor none 0
Keyboard none 0
Mouse none 0
Total 25,850

Also, if you get the GTX750 instead (again Snapdeal - COMP7), it'll cost you Rs. 8050. However, if you're not looking to upgrade your video card soon, you can get the Antec BP300P instead (SD - COMP7) for Rs. 1950 which will take your total to 26050.

In any case, avoid the R7 250. Its even slower than the HD7750. A 7770 or even better a GTX750 will let you play games in better settings.

> HD7770 is better than R7 250. You can also go for R7 250X which itself is a re-branded HD7770.

> As the total price is within OP's budget there is no need of considering BP300. Also, 300 W isn't enough for FX 4300 and R7 250 or anythigng above it.

IDK where but most members have reported this price recently.

Avoid the 250x. Its just priced 500 bucks higher and is the same card. And the BP300 can easily handle an FX4300 with a GTX750. The GTX750 doesn't require additional power mate The system will draw around 256W from the PSU, giving him some headroom for overclocking as well.

PS - I did not mean to pair the HD7770 with the BP300, if that'w what you assumed

found it. Its on snapdeal after using the coupon, so its temporary.

Yeah, 750 would be fine but not any AMD card. But as even with HD7770 the VP450 is in budget, there is no point in considering BP300.

First, the prices you quoted are higher. Second, how is it supposed to come to 28000? Where's the PSU?!

Oh okay. Ignore the above.. You're already considering his VP-450

Why include a Deepcool TESSERACT in every build no matter what the budget is? Couldn't that money be used in getting FX 6300 instead or a fancier cabinet for such low budget?

I just re-read that you already own a VS450. In that case, you could consider using it and get the above mentioned rig! It will kick the hindside of most games at high settings (without AA)!

You could change your PSU later on. A Corsair VS series, although not recommended on this forum, is much much reliable than desi PSU's. So you should be fine with in the short run.

Get the above mentioned rig! Also, I doubt you will find the same prices even offline, so make a move quickly!

OP asked for a cabinet also remember.

The price I mentioned are local prices here in CTC,Secunderabad. One can surely get at least 2k discount on the total cost finally.

I doubt someone will give you 2k off on the prices you've already mentioned. Also, I believe that a better config with a local cabinet is a wiser decision over a sub-performing config with a branded cabinet.

Let OP take the call on that

that doesn't mean that we have to compromise on other important parts. getting a good cpu+gpu is important than a cabinet which can be purchased anytime later.

@op, get fx 6300.

Hey,

Will this configuration be able to handle most of the games today? Will it support GTA 5 that will release in future?

Are you refeering to 2kool2btrue's config? Yes it can handle most games at 1633x768 at high and medium settings. Try to sell your current PSU and get Antec VP450P.
