Gaming PC upgrade within 35k (max)
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:
Mostly games like x-com, cs-go, crysis series, battelfield series, call of duty series.
Programming - Java web development
75% would be gaming and 25% would be other work (including programming)

Ans: 30k. I can extend upto a maximum of 35k.
3. Planning to overclock?

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: Already have HDDs (total 2TB) and an SSD (120GB Samsung evo).

Ans:Already have a Dell 24" monitor. Full-HD (1920 x 1080).
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?

2. PSU - Corsair vx450

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: New Delhi. Preferably online.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Currently I have an Athlon II X2 240 with 4GB RAM and HD 7750. Games do run, but not at Full-HD and with the settings I would like to play them at. Should I upgrade JUST my processor/RAM/motherboard, or I should buy a new GFX card as well? Would prefer an i5 config.
