Hello,
I live in India and want to build a cheap gaming rig suitable for games like sleeping dogs,upcoming GTA V,Crysis 3,Max Payne 3,Batman:Arkham City,etc.
I want reputed companies components i dont want components like asrock or biostar.I am having Windows 8 Pro Genuine Disc.
 
Haha, asrock motherboards are cheap. I gave you the cheapest crossfire supporting motherboard and it is Asrock. Unfortunately, they dont create single PCI-E Slots motherboard, so that is their cheapest motherboard.
 
Pentium G isn't powerful enough. If you're gonna play games like Skyrim, Battlefield, Crysis, Starcraft, it will bottleneck your GPU ie it wont give apt performance for smooth gameplay.
 

okay :)
 
Just buy hd 7850 or hd 7950
Crossfire/sli generally is bad
A powerfull singel card is better, less problems

Buy a cheap motherboard from asrock, they are fine, you dont need features


Better get i5 over fx 6300 , the 8core cpu from amd (fx8350,fx8...) is also an option.future games will benefit from more cores i guess because the next gen consoles have 8cores...
I3 will be weak in future ...
