I'm thinking of updating all the mentioned configs twice a months. What do guys say? Or will once a month be enough?

rather than on a timely basis, it is better to update whenever new releases hit here in india which perform better than the current ones at the provided cost.

anything is better than the current update schedule :D monthly sounds good cause i think twice a month will be too much work for you alone : D

Hi I cannot post a new thread so can someone give me a 30k INR config rig not including Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, HDD and DVD Drive. Sorry for the inconvenience.
 
@both; welcome to TDF :)

Please suggest a Graphics card in the range of 10k-15k.

Look at the thread titles before posting. This thread is for buying guide, not buying advise. Start a thread here: Graphic cards

Hi,i wanted to start a new thread but i don't have a thread posting permission(I am a new joinee).

I am currently using a system that comprises of Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 CPU, Intel DG31PR motherboard and 1GB DDR2 RAM.
I am thinking of upgrading my system to a basic gaming rig (that can play games like Skyrim, Witcher 2,Tomb Raider) and shortlisted the following items for my build (My budget 30-32k) -

1) AMD FX6300 CPU
2) ASUS M5A97 R2.0 / Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3/ Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P
3) 8 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM
4) Sapphire HD7770 / ZOTAC GTX 650 Ti GPU
5) Corsair VS 450/ CX 430/ Cooler Master Thunder 450W.


A little help in choosing the components will be much appreciated.
Can the Gigabyte mobos support USB 3.0? It says in the site they rely on some chip! Or else i will spend 1.2k more and get the ASUS mobo.

And i have a SATA 1 250GB hard disk, will it work properly with these motherboards?

P.S. - I cannot increase my budget, so have to hover in this range only.
