Well, i haven't builded this pc yet.
Is this good enough for gaming ?
A good graphic card for this ?
Please tell a cheap one.
 


Unfortunately, 30,000 र worth of parts in India only gets you around $350 worth of parts in the US, maybe even less. Still, I think I got you some pretty good parts, with a bit of an emphasis on future proofing.

Motherboard: Asus P8H61-M-LX3 R2.0 16GB DDR3 Intel Motherboard - Rs. 3810
CPU/Processor: Intel Pentium G2010 2.80GHz Dual-Core Desktop Processor - Rs. 3995
Graphics Card: Sapphire Radeon HD7790 1GB DDR5 ATI PCI E Graphic Card - Rs. 11685
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 500GB Internal Desktop Hard Drive (ST500DM002) - Rs. 3515
Memory: Corsair Value Select 4GB (1 X 4GB) DDR3 1600MHz Desktop Memory (CMV4GX3M1A1600C11) - Rs. 2685
Power Supply: Corsair Builder Series CX430 V2 430W Power Supply (CMPSU-430CXV2) - Rs. 3250
Cabinet/Case: Cooler Master Elite 311 ATX Cabinet - Silver (RC-311B-SKN1) - Rs. 2525

Total with shipping and taxes: Rs. 33,015

The grand total is 33,015 र with shipping (and I believe) taxes already included. I don't see any listings about mail-in rebates either.

The motherboard is just a standard low budget motherboard, however I decided to make the build an Intel rather than an AMD. The good thing is, this is an Intel LGA 1155 socket motherboard, meaning when the time is right, you can upgrade yourself to an i3-3220, or better, an i5 from the Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge series without having to replace your motherboard, saving both time and money.

The Intel G2020 is a great budget processor, and it's very new having been released January of this year. It's (apparently) about equivalent to the Athlon II X4 750k, give or take, even though there's 2 fewer cores, Intel has far more efficiency per core than AMD does. Their performance should be similar, and I couldn't find a well enough priced 4 core CPU from AMD nor Intel, so when you're forced to look at a 2 core CPU, Intel is always the winner.

The Graphics Card is an HD 7790. For reference, the Xbox One will be using a graphics card based on this, and no, you shouldn't have to worry about bottlenecking unless the game is especially CPU bound.

The Storage is just a nice Seagate 500 GB, coming in at the standard 7200 RPM. If and when you run out of storage space, it's very easy to get another internal hard drive for the same price.

The memory is only 4 GB, but it's fast and efficient coming in at 1600 MHz with a nice CAS latency of 9.

The PSU is a bit overkill. I checked a PSU calculator and it determined that the minimum wattage recommended for your build is 253 W, and the recommended wattage is 303 W under 100% load. This PSU is 430 W, so it's safe to say you have plenty of headroom for upgrades and/or overclocking. It's also a fantastic brand, and trust me, you don't want a disreputable brand when purchasing the part that sends electrical current through your components.

Lastly there's the case. It looks decent, has a modest I/O front panel set, and from reviews I've read on other sites for the same model, it apparently has good wire management capabilities which is good, because unless you get a modular PSU (which the CX 430 is not), wire management in a case is a plus.

Anyway, hopefully this suits all your needs. Enjoy!
 


The 750k can OC easily to 4.5ghz. i have the newer 760k at 4.5ghz without even breaking a sweat. these chips have very high overclock potential. dont believe me? search 'Athlon x4 750k owners club' on google and click the first link. a whole forum thread of people and 750k/760k's oced to a minimum of 4.4ghz. for my OC i actually have a board around the same spec as the one mentioned in the build
 


Damn.. two things that are really very wrong with this build.

1. H61 boards might need a Bios Upgrade to support the Ivy Bridge CPU's and hence it is possible that your CPU might not even support the Motherboard and then your board would be like useless.

2. Why the hell are you still recommending a dual core CPU for gaming? I mean seriously, that is not at all ideal for gaming. Now ever game uses more than 2 cores and hence the Pentium Dual Cores literally sucks for gaming. You are way better off with an i3 for a few more thousand bucks. It has 4 threads and hence it is more suited for current games.

PSU Recommendation :- As for the PSU better get the Seasonic 400W 80 Plus Bronze PSU from Flipkart. It is really cheap as for now. Cheaper than Corsair 430W and much better in quality. Just a deal advice.
 
Point #1 is definitely valid. Make sure the board you choose will support your CPU out of the box.
IMHO, point #2 remains untrue. A lot of games are better threaded, that much is true, but few (if any) require a quad-core CPU. This can always be a drop-in upgrade later.
This does bring up balance. If the graphics card is the bottleneck, you can always lower graphical settings to speed up frame rates. If the game is good, it should still be enjoyable. If the CPU is the bottleneck, however, there may not be as much you can do. For that reason, I'd probably rather have something like i3+HD7770 than Pentium+HD7850. An Intel build will have a much higher top-end, but a cheaper AMD quad may end up being the way to go here if future upgrades will be limited or impossible.
I definitely agree that any Seasonic PSU is better than a Corsair CX.
 
@Onus, yeah I agree that a cheaper AMD quad core is the way to go but unfortunately they are not available in India. There is no Athlon II x4 750K on the Indian market. Hence the cheapest CPU that could be considered for gaming here is the i3 3220 for about 7000 rupees. Next is the FX 6300 for about 8000 rupees. We don't have any cheaper choice when it comes to gaming.

And yeah I forgot to mention that the Corsair CX Series PSU's that are in India are not even 80 Plus Bronze ones, they are just 80 Plus.

Indian market sucks for PC Builders.
