Hello friends, kindly help me to build my pc within Rs. 30000. i have shortlisted some components while researching on internet. if you all think those are not good then please tell me that. but i am open to all of your suggestions. i am more keen on buying AMD based one and the scope for up-gradation should be present. but if you think Intel will be best then i can go for that too.

my shortlisted ones -

Processor: AMD FX4100 Processor
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3-1600 / G.Skill RipjawsX 4GB DDR3-1600
Hard Disk Drive: WD Caviar Blue 500 GB HDD
Power Supply Unit: Corsair CX430

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans:
Frankly speaking, playing games (fifa 2013, max payne 3, mafia II, cod black ops II and all the other new games), watching 720p/1080p movies, working on softwares like matlab, autocad and other engineering softwares and surfing internet.

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 30000 is my budget, i can extend a bit though
for a more balanced configuration.

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: not really.

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: windows seven (windows 8 looks good too, so can't say right now about that).

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 500 GB

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: Yes, 18"-20", led, full hd preferable.

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: mouse, keyboard.

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: within 2 weeks.

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: it will be done by assembler.

10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: i live in Calcutta and am going to buy the components from Chandni Chowk. I check out Flipkart for prices though, but not really keen on buying from there.

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: i know its a bit tough to accommodate in this little budget, but i hope its not impossible :) thanks to all of you in advance


Thanks in Advance :) :) :)

^^Change the processor to phenomII x4 960t.Rest everything is fine.
960t is hard to be found.

If you don't find the 960t then go for i3 2100+intel dh67cl.
Fx4100 is simply not good enough against the likes of i3 2100 or phenomII x4 960t.

ahh, lots of suggestions to choose from... thanks friends... by the way, should i go for the DDR3 or DDR5 graphics card of HD6670?? which config performance will be best - AMD or Intel?? which section i can compromise to save some bucks?

memory really doesnt effect gaming very much (except in apus)
going for a better gfx card now and a low end processor isnt supper future proof but it is very good for now
also there isnt much difference in the gaming performance of an i3 and a pentium

There are some games which are coded in a way to take advantages of more threads.Examples of such games are GTA IV and Max Payne3.
In such scenarios Pentium G620 will be at disadvantage.
960t is hard to be found.Also Pentium G620 is noticeably slower in other tasks than i3 2100.In applications like autocad a faster cpu is better.

see the gaming performance of a pentium g620 vs i3 2100 and decide for yourself-

^^get gddr5.Locally 6670gddr5 is between 5k-5.5k.
For 6k this is a good optionMSI R6770

5670gddr5 is around 4k.
