MSI R6850 Cyclone is more future proof card than 6670 and worth spending the extra money on it. Your choice. :)

6770 is good but not that much for full hd gaming.
and 1TB is not 3.2k anymore. you get 250GB for that price now.

^^ Yes, since OP is buying a Full HD monitor, for fluid gameplay for atleast coming years, HD 6850 is better choice. Also Cyclone edition is factory overclocked and can perform closer to HD 6870. So go with Athlon 635 + HD 6850 as JAs has suggested.

How would it be if i go with Zotac GeForce GTX 550 Ti AMP with below config:

MAin reason for going with Zotac is they are giving 5 years of warranty , where as MSI is giving only 1yr warranty.

mehaboob528, you're mixing up things for your requirement. You have mentioned that the main objective is to play games like BF3 and you wanna sacrifice in GPU. For high end games in 1080P or Full HD resolution Gfx card plays a lot more significant role than CPU.

If you want a i3, then i3 2100 @ 6.2K + Asus/Intel/Gigabyte H61 Mobo @ 3.5K will almost cost you 10K and you can get card like MSI HD 6670 GDDR5 around 5K or HD 6750 @ 6K. Now for Full HD gaming with decent setting, HD 6770 is minimum and HD 6850 is recommended. So tell us: You want Intel based rig or You wanna play games?

If you want Intel then just replace the components with which I've specified in my config.

Thanks Cilus for your suggestion..

Apologise for confusing guys.. I want intel rig with decent gaming experience(not high end rig).. Please do suggest with this combination...

^^ Before giving config of intel based rig, I would like to remind you that i3-2100 is inferior than any quad core and processor. Your call. :)

d6bmg, that's a misleading info, don't generalize on that way. I3 2100 beats almost all the Athlon II X4 processors, even in Multithreaded applications. It beats the Phenom II 955 in gaming as well as some other allications.

The reason for suggesting an cheaperAthlon II X4 in here is to provide OP a better graphics card, not because that an cheaper quad core is available and performs better.

FSP Saga II 500W 2300

If you want for gaming then stick with the i3 2100 and spend on a better gpu. Atleast get the HD6770(HD6850 recommended) for decent gaming at full HD.

Out of the above config the GT440 sticks out like a sore thumb. The HD5670 @ 4k performs MUCH better

BTW what is iBall?? is it a keyboard+mouse bundle. Get a logitech/microsoft basic bundle instead. Will cost the same.
