any local cabinet - 700
Sapphire hd 6670 - 5000
Antec vp450p - 2550
seagate 160gb - 2k or wd blue 500 - 3200
I havent calculated but seems overshooting your budget
For only gaming stick with i3, want good multithread performence and good multitasking FX

Here is the AMD configuration with your budget:-
AMD FX-6300 @ 7.3K
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 Rev 3.0 @ 5.1K (GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3 (rev. 3.0) AMD 970 + SB950 Chipset Motherboard)
Corsair 4GB X 1 1333 MHz CL9 DDR3 @ 1.69K ()
Antec BP300 80+ Gaming PSU @ 1.78K ([url=*www.infibeam.com/Accessories/i-Antec-BP-Gaming-PSU/P-M-GA-Antec-BP-300P.html]Antec BP 300P Gaming PSU Price: Buy Antec BP 300P Gaming PSU Online in India - Infibeam.com)


Rest of the config will be same. I think now everything will be around 21K.

AMD FX series Processors don't come with IGPU and that's why we have suggested a dedicated card HD 6670. In case of Intel i3 3220, it comes with HD 2500 which is best for watching HD Movies. For gaming, it is worthless.

Looking at the comparison, I think FX-6300 with HD6670 is a better performer than an i3-3220 with an HD6670.. What say guys?

If you consider the overall performance includding Multi Tasking Capabilities, Gaming performance, CPU intensive tasks like Video Encoding, using compression software like inzip, 7zip etc then FX-6300 is way ahead of i3 3220. Now in gaming, most of the games relased in last two years, i3 3220 might giove you slightly better performance compared to FX-6300 as in those times games were not optimized properly for using multiple cores in a CPU.
But if you consider very recent games like Far Cry 3, Tomb Raider 2012 which are more or less optimized for Multi-Core CPU, FX-6300 performs very well. Crysis 3 actually has shwon how a properly Multi-Core optimized game performs in modern processors. Here i3 3220 is actually beaten by the APU processors like A8-5600K when paired with a dedicated GPU like GTX 680, by more than 10 FPS.

Thanks for the info mate. And will the 300W Antec PSU be sufficient for the AMD or the Intel rig? Since the HD 6670 itself has a requirement of 400W PSU.

Buddy, the 300W PSU is completely okay if OP is going for HD 6670. AMD processors use much power than their Intel Processors but even at full load, here the total power consumption will not cross 300W. If you can spend a little more, get the PSU as suggested by Harshil.

Cilus is right, even under full load the pc won't consume more than ~180W .. adding all other cmpenet Op might use and HD 6670 adds another ~65W so the overall power consumption won't go over 250W and BP300 can deliver upto 276W on it's +12V rail but I'm still a little suspicious about BP300's 176W power output so Op better get the CX430v2 just to be on the safer side or else the only option left for him is VS450.

True. Even my pc doesn't cross 180W excluding the monitor. But still, I would ask to get atleast a 400W PSU for being sufficient for future use (upgrade) and the fact that not many quality psus under 400W are available AFAIK (I dont consider VS as a good quality PSU).

Finally decided this config:
i3-3210
GA-H61M-S2P
HD 7750 DDR5
4GB Corsair 1333Mhz
500GB HDD
Antec VP450P

For the cabinet, guys will an iBall cabinet do well? Like this one : i2511 | iBall
I visited Golchha IT today, and the guy over there told me that the iBall cabinet is not recommended since it will get heated up faster. And recommended me to go for a branded cabby.

So right now I have a budget of 2K for cabinet. I am thinking of CM 311 if not iBall. Is it good enough or suggest me something in the same range.

for 2K [ actually 50 bucks less ;-) ] you can get a NZXT Gamma cabinet.

@op, if you can, them in with gigabyte b75m dh3 motherboard. You'll get a chippet specifically designed for ivy bridge and native usb 3.0 support.

@ Cilius:
i3-3210 ~ 6500
GA-H61M-S2P ~ 4000
HD 7750 DDR5 ~ 6500
4GB Corsair 1333Mhz ~ 2000
500GB HDD ~ 3000
Antec VP450P ~ 2500

^Prices quoted by Golchha IT. Extra 5.5% VAT. The prices for some components have increased a lot since 1 week due to ruppee fall. For example the price of the Processor was 6K+Tax when I last called them 10 days back.
I have already ordered the RAM from FK at 1690. And I am looking for cheaper options online for other components.

@topgear : Any link to buy online?

@harshil :
I would consider it. But I am strictly under budget now. Already extended as much as I could. Let me revise my budget and check if B75M is possible.
