i searched for overclock,,,currently i will not do over-clocking, but i will learn it in future..

and i also searched that currently Z77 MOBOs are very demanding,, so also suggest me a good Z77 MOBO with intel Corei5,,

and for the budget i visited shop locally, they told me that COREi5 system can be build in 30k...

For gaming you should invest more in a graphics card. For 40k, spend 12-15k for the graphics card, and build a core i3 based system. As you can live without overclocking, there's no need to spend on an unlocked CPU.

ok i will not do overclocking,, but i found that Intel corei5-2500k is the best, so i want to stick with Core-i5 (dnt like little brother core-i3)

and i dnt want to spend more money on graphic card..
i found many graphic card around 3000rs in flipcart.com but has no knowledge about it..
so it looks all the same for me..
i cant figure out which one to buy..

as i said above..

my need is..
COREi5 with a z77 or any better MOBO and Graphic card around 3k for playing games like splinter cell conviction,,
(if it is possible)

and still saying that suggest MOBO with inbuilt graphic card..
and one more quary..
which is the best Z77 or H77 ?

because H77 is much less in money..

Don't think any 3k graphics card can give you good frames in any latest/upcoming games.

at least get a HD7770 you can find cards based on this chip around Rs. 8000

so going for a i3 based system makes sense or else go for AMD apus

^^ Since your requirement is gaming, you should focus on the gpu more and buy a good enough cpu for the purpose.

Have a look at the suggestion below:



Processor - Intel Core i5-2310 - 10.7k
Mobo - ASRock B75M-GL - 4.3k
Ram - Corsair value select 4gb - 1.3k
Hdd - WD blue/Seagate Barracuda (sata 6) - 3.9k
Cabby - CM Elite 311 - 2k
Gpu -Sapphire 7770 - 9.8k
Psu -Corsair VS450 - 2.5k
Monitor -Benq G2222HDAL 21.5 - 8.5k
Total - 43k


This is the bare minimum balanced gaming rig imo if you want to stick with intel. A dual core i3 would do but you said you don't want it.
This is the cheapest sandybridge quadcore available currently. You can get these cheaper locally too.

Haven't included keyboard mouse due to budget constraints. Use your old ones until you save up to buy a good gaming keyboard/mouse kit from razer or logitech.

The monitor is fullhd and good for watching 1080p movies. 7770 can handle 1080p gaming to some extent as well. With new drivers (12.8) it performs on par or even exceeds a 6850
while consuming lesser power. Its a bare minimum for gaming. Try getting this locally at cheaper prices. I've heard this selling close to 8.5k mark.

You can shave 2k by going for an amd setup which is good enough for gaming.

Pair an fx4100/6100 (6.4k and 7.4k respectively) with an Asrock 970 extreme 3 (6.4k). The extreme 3 board is more feature rich than the intel one given above.

Let us know your thoughts on this.

That's better suggestion IMO with room for further improvements up to 40k. Like more RAM or better GPU or more storage. But OP is not willing to think below i5. ;)

Ya the powercolor 7770 is absolute value for money. Op should grab that eyes closed. I had no idea that it was this cheap. Must buy for the price.
I too would have mentioned the i3 as its more than enough for op's usage. Besides, the gigabyte board deserves special mention coz it has four dimm slots opposed to two in the asrock.
Both have 2 pci-e slots and xfire is possible in x16-x4 mode.
