Component Make Price
CPU AMD Phenom 960T 6960
Motherboard Gigabyte MGA-970A-UD3 6600
RAM G.Skill Value 4GB DDR3 1150
Case NZXT Source 210 Elite 2400
PSU SeaSonic S12II 520 3770
Total 20880

The board I mentioned support serious OC'ing. If you're not planning to OC, then get a cheaper 880 chipset based board.

If you think about Intel option, then here is my suggestion...

Processor i5 - 2320 10500

Go with this. +1

 

[CarlonSamuels]

I would prefer a case with usb 3.0 slots

 

[CarlonSamuels]

Also i was thinking about buying the AMD FX 4100
I have read many bad reviews about it on the Internet but many people have said that its good for Mid range gaming PC
I could pair that with an ASUS M5A78L-M LX mobo
Is this a good combination

Try these-

processor-i5 2400..11k
mobo-gigabyte h61m..3.3k
ram-corsair value 4gb ddr3..1.2k
psu-corsair cx430..2.3k
caby-cm elite 430..2.6k

total -20400..

A balanced config for you with ur 6670..satisfies all ur needs..

Guys my final rig
Processor-AMD 3 GHz AM3 Phenom II 960T Rs.6975
Mobo-Biostar A880GZ Rs.3450
Ram-G.Skill RipjawsX 2 GB RAM *2 Rs.1662
Cabinet-Cooler Master Elite 430 Black Mid Tower Cabinet Rs.3340
PSU-Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 500W PSU Rs.3508

Total Rs.18917
Thank you all !!

 

[Cilus]

You should have listened to the experts here. Is there any post here where people have suggested you CM Extreme series PSU? No. The reason is CM Extreme Series is known as Time bomb to reviewers and you have spent 3.3K for that.
Same goes for the Ram, you should go with a single 4 GB stick.

 

[$$Lionking$$]

Carlon - -buy seasonic 520W its for about the same price and much much better..........

also check if that biostar- supports -dual power plane or not else youre gng to have a 960T at 800MHz...

Bold ones are bad choices.

Your mobo can't run 960T, seriously!
Due to lack of power phases

 

[Cilus]

D6bmg, it is not like that. It can run easily 960T if it is not overclocked or moderately overclocked. 960T is a 95W CPU and the mobo does has support for 125W CPU.

But the choice of the PSU is really bad, considering OP has spent more than 3K over it.

 

[Bodhisatwa]

for ram,buy corsair vengeance 4gb 1600mhz or gskill ripjaws x 4gb 1600mhz . . .both about 1.6k. ..
and avoid that mobo. . .
for psu,i think corsair cx430 would b enough fr you. .
and why buy a 4.3k caby when u can get cm 310 elite at a much less price!

 

[CarlonSamuels]

Ok so i will be buying a 4GB stick of RAM suggest a different mobo under Rs.3500
I cant change the Cabinet its already been bought.
What about the CM Extreme Power plus i didn't understand (NEWBIE ALERT)

im pretty sure the Biostar A880GZ can run the phenom II perfectly.

 

[RiGOD]

^^Get the Gigabyte GA-880GM-D2H. The PSU is just pathetic and you're putting your newly bought core components at a risk of getting blown off. Shell ot another couple of hundred bucks and grab the SeaSonic S12 II 520.

 

[CarlonSamuels]

Flipkart: Corsair CMPSU-500CXV2UK 500 Watts PSU: Psu What about this one?
And are you seriously telling me i have to change the mobo and this will 100% not work with a stock Phenom II x4 960t
