You forget the PSU. With that, the total price will be ~53k. Where is S2240L available for 8.4k?

@OP, include an Antec VP450P in the suggested config and it will rock. If you you cannot go over 50k, get this modified Digit forum's config -

8.8k, could be cheaper locally

It is recommended he skip GPU purchase until 960 launches, nvidia is going to launch 960, 960 TI and 965 Ti.. out of these, the 960 surely falls within OP's budget and it is most likely better than a 760 by atleast 5-10%

Oops. Will edit. S2240l is at 8.2K on snapdeal. I would suggest antec vp550p for gtx 760/960.

No graphic card? FX 6300 does NOT have integrated graphics so you will require a graphic card to get video out.

 

[rijinpk1]

get a very cheap gpu for now or get a cheap used one and then wait for 960 to get launched.i dont know how long it will take to reach in india, but i think you should wait.
as harshil said, you always need a gpu to get a display out from that rig.

Oh okay,

So i will go with gtx 760, would antec vp450 enough for this(maybe i cut some cost here)
gtx 760 is available on snapdeal for 16600
ZOTAC Nvidia Geforce Gtx 760 2 Gb Gddr5 Graphics Card - Buy Graphics Card Online @ Best Prices on Snapdeal.com

That would make the total as 54200
This stretches my budget, but let me see what prices i get locally.

Thanks, this Sounds good as well.

 

[rijinpk1]

you need to spend a little more to get antec vp550p. a psu is the heart of your system. never compromise on psu. your pc needs to have a good balance between all the components.

 

[vicky]

Okay will get vp550 only,and follow your suggestion to get a cheap gpu for now.

 

[rijinpk1]

^^then wait for the launch of gtx 960. i hope it gets priced well in india.

 

[vicky]

thanks guys
