Harshil, FX-4300 is slightly faster than older Phenom II X4 965 and it is on the par with i3 3220 while being 1K cheaper than it. In Multi-threaded games, it sometimes provides fster FPS. Check the anandtech CPU Becnh here: AnandTech | Bench - CPU

Just one thing. For 70K budget, you could recommend Xeon processors along with H87 based board. Pricing is almost similar to K processor + Z motherboard, but Hyper Threading will be significant benefit.

But Xeons aren't commonly available in most places.

^ Oh okay, well in that case at least we could make a recommendation based on availability. Meaning, they should first check for Xeon combo and then normal i5 combo.

[MENTION=140941]harshilsharma63[/MENTION] Mate you are yet to change RAM options on 30k rig.Change that to single 4GB 1600MHz stick.
In the 30k rig,can replace Gigabyte GA-H81M-S1 by GA-H81M-S2PV ~4.2k,the latter has got DVI.
In the 20k rig replace Gigabyte GA-H61M-S1 by Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H ~3k,the latter has DVI,HDMI options.
Replace samsung 840 120GB by 840EVO 120GB ~6.4k,evo one is better.

> Added Xeon E3 1225 V3 in 70k rig. 80l rigs are already quite above the mentioned budget so it will not be possible to accommodate a Xeon. Also, none of the sub 17k Xeon has Hyper-Threading (correct me if I'm wrong).
> Did the RAM thing.
> Couldn't find that motherboard online. Post a link if possible.

Thank you.
E3 1230 V3 is under 17K having Hyper Threading.

In 30k i3 4130 based rig it's still two 2GB 1333MHz sticks,please change that.
In the 70k xeon based rig,you can replace xeon e3 1225v3 by e3 1230v3 ~16.5k.
1225v3 is 4C/4T with IGP while 1230v3 is 4C/8T without IGP.

+1 !!
P.S. Can we get Sapphire instead of HIS ?

Also, if I'm not wrong, people rarely use optical drive. Well that's what I'm seeing since last 15-20months. IMO you should make them "Optional"

I'll be adding about the new low end amd processors and some other new products once I get over my wrist RSI which will take a few weeks.

Once I do that, I'll ask the mods to rename the thread.

Can someone pm me a draft about new products available and how they compare to other products previously available (especially the new phemom and athalon chips)?

with a pentium instead of an i3, he will barely save 3.5k. intel hd 4400 graphics on i3 4130 is as powerful as those entry level gpus and hence makes no sense to get a pentium + cheap gpu. also games have already started using hyperthreading and i3 will perform much better than a pentium here. he can always add a gpu later too...

re: PC Buying Guide and Suggested Configs 2014 - Q2
Pentium G2010 is available locally for 3.2k and respective H61 mobo for 3-3.2k too. This way 6k can be saved. Enough for a decent discrete GPU (which would be much better than HD4400). This rig would be much much better for gaming

That's not a viable option. Most of the people who ask for help here have no plans for upgrading for atleast 6-8months. Say someone asks you for a best possible gaming rig @ 30k, you wouldn't want to tell him that play on low for now and upgarde to a discrete GPU later. What's the point of a gaming rig when you can't game properly on it ?

re: PC Buying Guide and Suggested Configs 2014 - Q2
he is not gonna save 6k
i3 4130 is available cheaper locally for around 7.2k. people here itself has bought the same for that price. a compatible h81 mobo is at 3.7k(snapdeal). total cost comes just below 11k.
g2010/g2020 + h61(remember the lack of usb 3.0 port here) will come as close as 7k.with the saved 4k , he could most probably arrange a gt 630 which should perform equally with the hd 4400.
6-8 month is not a big time considering he will use the pc for atleast 3 years. if he can arrange some bucks extra in the coming months, saving it for the gpu makes a lot sense. because the dual core will struggle much higher. as the games already started using hyperthreading , i3 will make a huge difference.
it is just my point of view....
