HD 7850 GPU 14k

Intel h61 mobo + g30 6.5k

Ram G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (F3-12800CL9S-4GBXL) - G.Skill: Flipkart.com 1.6K

total 24.6k

Whoa! That was quick, thank you for the reply
Now after the thread is done do I need to delete it?

 

[draco21]

no you dont.....

anyway is this your second pc or for someone else??

will you do any kinds of works like photoshop or maya on this or just game??

BTW you cant over clock this...

this PC would only be good if you just game as that GPU is a very nice one...

But if you would oc and need a bit of processing power,go for this

Corsair CX 430 V2 @ 2.6K
AMD A10-5800K @ 8.4K
ASUS F2A85-M-LE MOTHERBOARD @ 5.72k
Ram 8*1GB 3K

total only 19.7k

save available money to get gpu later.....

comparison:

1.A10's processor is better than g30.
2.A10 can be overclocked.
3.A10 has integrated GPU but 7850>>>>>>its integrated GPU. Games require 2 cores so g30 + 7850 will much game better[for now]
4.8 GB ram minimum for A10 as integrated GPU will share RAM
5.A10 will save much budget and again give decent gaming performance.

amd fx 4100-6k
Asus M5A78L-M LX-2.6k
ram-4Gb-1.2k
HD 7850 GPU 13.5k
Smps Corsair VS450 PSU 2.2K

Total Rs25.5k ...
Rs 500 over your budget but far more processing power compared to g30...

 

[draco21]

4100??? for gaming???

just get a Phenom II X4 instead

 

[Naxal]

Intel Core i3 3220 @ Rs. 7,000.00
GA-B75M-D3H @ Rs. 4,200.00
ZOTAK GTX650 @ Rs. 10,500.00
Corsair VS450 @ Rs. 2,000.00
Total -> 24/25k

You can trade your each of your 2GB DDR-II module with 4GB DDR-III 1333 MHz add few hundred bucks, you can get G.Skill 4GB 1600 MHz for each 2GB module. So both your working 2GB DDR-II module + 500 total, get your self 2x4GB G.Skill DDR-III 1600 MHz

650 is a bad bad bad option better get HD7770 if you want i3

 

[flyingcow]

This is a second PC for my brother,
But will the processor, will it play BF3 at playable FPS, if no then ill buy RAM and GPU later as i have 4 gig ram.

@Naxal, I like your suggestion, I am thinking to upgrade RAM later, if i can play with this ram...
I dont know much about this ram, i just know its 4 gig ddr2 ram...

@draco21 and yeah i too had 7770 in my mind

Intel Pentium G645 - 3500
H61 Mobo - 3000
Radeon HD 7850 ( 1 Gb ) -12800
8 Gb RAM @ 1066 Mhz / 1333 Mhz - 2200

No mate , you shouldnt have problems about BF3. If you can tell me about your monitor, we will be able to tell you about FPS.
The Pentium series are actually brilliant Gaming CPUs.

And regarding RAM , I personally believe , the more RAM you have ,the more better it is.

LGA1155 boards doesnt have any option to run DDR-II (your present RAM).

If you think a system without GPU, then I guess AMD APU would be a better solution.

iGPU of Core i3 or Pentium G645 is not that powerful to run proper games

Intel Core i3 3220 @ Rs. 7,000.00
GA-B75M-D3H @ Rs. 4,200.00
ZOTAK GTX650 @ Rs. 10,500.00 -> Increase little more to accommodate HD7850 )
Corsair VS450 @ Rs. 2,000.00
Total -> 24/25k

In above config, trade a DDR-II 4GB + Rs. 200 with a DDR-III 4GB 1600 MHz and try to increase budged by a 2k to accommodate the ATI HD7850
