This pc is for my friend i have a config in consideration want to know your suggestions,

CPU: AMD A8-3870K
MB : ASUS F1A55-M LX PLUS
RAM:CORSAIR XMS3 1600MHZ DDR3
HDD:250 GB SEAGATE
-----------------------------------
I guess a generic psu can suffice the power requirement of ths system very well. pls comment and suggest.

I guess you'll be needing a Monitor too and I don't think all of these components can be accomodate within 15K budget. Still, trying my best:-

Intel Pentium G620 @ 3.3K
Gigabyte H61-D3 Motherboard @ 3.2K
Corsair Value Series 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 @ 1.3K
Seagate 500 GB SATA II HDD @ 4K (Price diff between 500 GB and 250 GB is very less)
Sapphire/MSI HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 @ 5.4K
Acer 20" LCD Display @ 5.3K (Check Deltapage.com)

cilus no need of monitor thread edited , sry my mistake. budget should come within 15k. Cannot be extended.

Can the config suggested work on a generic psu , or will it need branded one.

 

[Sainatarajan]

IF you dont need a monitor , then get a PSU for that money .
Get CORSAIR VS450 for 2.3K or Corsair CX430 V2 @ 2.7K .

^^ but the overall cost will be approx 19000rs, and the maximu he can go is 16000rs. I kno it is hard, that's why I taught of going liano path even though it may not have upgrade path. I taught by doing that a generic psu can do the job without worry. Later he can buy a good psu.
Dedicated gpu plus corsair psu will cost more that for the time he cannot afford.
Pls suggest some method probabily a tricky one.

amd a4 3400-rs 3604

Corsair XMS3 DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM -rs 1733 (ram is expensive because the igpu benefits from faster ram)

@OP Go with the A6. Better than the A4 in every aspect. A4 is a dual core while the A6 is a quad core. And the A6 has better Graphics too.

 

[panwala95]

but op is on budget
he can buy a hd 6450 and cfx it and it would be better than a6 inte graphics

 

[zacfx05]

thnks guys

 

[Utkarsh Sharma]

@panwala95 So what? He can do the same with A6 and though OP is on a budget, the rig suggest by me is in his budget. So by shelling out 1 or 2k gives him an awesome rig so why not?

Totally agree. I got an A6 for my dad, does ut3 @ max settings even on a 1080p screen. It is a very nice gaming chip on it's own and will really shine if played at settings of 720p or 900p.

^+1 @OP get the A6 eyes closed. Value for money.
