Solution
Amd 6300 and gtx 750 would be your best bet. You really don't need an expensive mobo.
Also high end apus would run any game on low-medium settings. They substitute the gpu, which you can add later for performance gains.

Get a cheap board from Asus or Msi and you will be fine. PSU should be 500-550w and have at least 80+ bronze quality. I really think this would be the best option, since you can get a cpu-gpu combo capable of running any game for very little (10435 Rs in this case)
Best of luck!
Well... APUs will work with nvidia graphic cards too ? or only with recommended Radeon graphic cards for use with them ?

Whats different b/w GTX 750 and 750 Ti ? huge price difference
 


APUS work with nvidia gpus but I recommend using APUS alone, without gpu. If you want a gpu, you should buy an fx 6300, which is the absolute best bang for your buck atm. single CPUS are cheaper and perform better (as a cpu) than APUS.
There is around 14% performance difference between gtx 750 and 750ti. 750ti is a very capable gpu, it's able to run any game without any problem, while the 750 struggles in some games.

fx 6300 with gtx 750 (non ti) seems to work very good. If you have the money, I would suggest a gtx 750 ti, though.

this one, for instance (try to get 2gb VRAM and dual fan if you get the ti) looks great.
If you really are on a tight budget, you could get an APU and when you have some money get the gtx 750ti
Hope this helps.
 
Ok.. Thanks

Need FX 6300 itself ? What about FX 4300 quad core ?
Heard AMD CPUs require more power.. I already bought Corsair CX430M PSU. WIll it support all power requirements including 750Ti ?

One more thing I can see two variants in GTX 750 Ti, PH and OC models where OC is more costly...

Please suggest best boards for FX 6300 and FX 4300... USB 3.0 might be handy.. and a budget cabinet too :)
 


I would highly recommend fx 6300, since it's a six core and will last way longer in games.
Case: try to get something by corsair or cooler master, both are good. This one looks perfect for your needs: http://www.theitdepot.com/details-Cooler+Master+K+series+k281+Mid+Tower+Computer+Case+(RC-K281-KKN1)_C5P17499.html
As of the mobo, something along this line should be good: http://www.theitdepot.com/details-Asus+M5A78L-M-USB3+32GB+DDR3+AMD+Motherboard_C13P16320.html
 
Hi friend,
believe me...i have played Far Cry 4.I have Dell Inspiron 15R 5521 laptop.Intel core i5 3317U processor,4 GB RAM and Intel HD graphics 4000.for me it's playable.but it is running smooth on 800X600 Screen resolution.I also played it on 1240X780 resolution.you can play it arround 25 fps.but it's just a bit laggy but not so much.yes of course it will run.
