I actually did a bit of research and am confused between 2 configs.
1. Intel Pentium G850 + HD 7770/ HD 7850

and

2.AMD A10-5800k + Compatible GPU for crossfire(HD 6670 or higher)

Please don't suggest FX series...Really high TDPs:|:-(

Interesting one :thumbs:

But would the a10 be better for games??
and the only weak point of the config would be the low clock speed of the g630.. i need atleast a 3ghz clockspeed :/

The rig is fine but spend some Rs 250 more and get a Corsair CX430V2 instead.And save some money by getting Corsair Value Select 4GB ram for Rs 1150 which is more than enough and use the the remaining Rs 1550 to get a GTX650ti instead of the HD7770.

And the G630 is enough and very good for Gaming at that budget. The next step up would be the i3 3220 for Rs 4000 more. Stick to a G630/645 with a 650ti for the best experience at that budget.

GHz dosnt define a processor its the architecture!!! Had it been like that... my C2D overclocked to 3.6GHz would take me in to i5/i7 arena...!!! Alas!

Ofcourse i know that... -.-
I mean i somehow have a feeling that G630 has a comparatively low clockspeed as compared to others...and i wanted to OC too...
but i guess G630 is good...after all, everyone recommends it.
