Hey guys I'm looking for the best config possible under Rs.30k (including monitor/kb/mouse)

I'm going to use the PC for casual gaming(i use ps3 for my hardcore gaming) and mostly for multimedia(watching movies etc.)

I'm looking for a decent processor/gpu and monitor.

Please give me the best configs possible for around 30k , in both AMD and INTEL,
also please state which one would be better and why AMD or INTEL xD.

Oh and if you're from Delhi let me know the shop where I should buy all this for best price.

Thanks!

AMD has 4 cores while i3 has 2 cores only. The AMD will be useful for 3D rendering and video editing stuff like that which use multi cores. In gaming Intel i3 is slightly better although the performance difference in games is not that huge compared to AMD Athlon II X4 640, for future proof go for AMD. Also in AMD try Athlon II X4 640 do not know about the price though.

Is the FSP Saga II easily available in market?(nehru place in delhi)
Because I heard power supply is very important, as I might also get a graphics card.

Please also suggest a graphics card 4-6k tops .

You can try corsair CX400 which will be bit costly than FSP Saga II. I do not know about the availability in Delhi as I live in Chennai. Graphics card already suggested MSI Radeon HD 5650 1GB Rs. 5,200

go with the AMD config. but with few changes:

1. X4 635 will cost you 4.9-5k. also look for X4 630.
2. if FSP isn't available, check for Gigabyte. else skip both & get Corsair CX400 as mentioned by bobby. you can also check for Xigmatek PSU.
3. get Dell or Benq 20". Samsung got stand problem.
4. either get GT240 (if found below 5k) or HD5670 512Mb. don't go for HD5650 1Gb. not good one for the price.

as a side note, ty to include 4Gb ram.

would it be prudent to go for 4GB RAM now instead of buying a Graphics Card right way? The way I see it, the Mobo has an integrated graphics solution which is decent. With DX11 coming in - there is always a possibility of newer compliant cards coming in the market at a better price point then buying expensive DX10 cards or entry level DX11.

Any thoughts??
