hey I want to build a PC, that can be worth beating ps4 so these are my specs ....!!!
Processor- fx 6300
Mobo-gigabyte GA 78LMT/USB-3
GPU-R9 280
Ram- 8 GB 1600 MHz
HDD-1 TB seagate barracuda
PSU-600 W

And my budget as same as ps4 ..!! So if I m wrong anywhere plz help ..!!!
 
A good case is the CM N200, Fantastic build quality and good airflow, You won't be able to find anything better than this at this price point.

And nah, The 960 and the FX6300 will only pull an upwards of 350Watts when overclocked, An Antec Eco 520 is recommended, more than enough headroom for OC and has excellent quality.
 


and what about zebronics or iball or circle...???
 


cm n200 is out of budget , please help me ...???
 


near about 6000-7000 rupees, i think VSK series will be fine....!!
neo eco is costing me around 5000-6000
 

hey you also suggested me VSK series..??? so should i go that ...!!
and i got cooler master 600W PSU st very decent price so i m going with that
 


what about PSU,, and i m little curious about this PC cause my friends sai that my PC build will last upto the current gen games and PS4 will again be able to play the future games , then i will have to install a new graphic card or a new system , >_< , so i want a PC that will last atleast 4-5 years...!!!
 
DDR3 2133 or higher, 990FX board that supports that RAM, 280X, and everything else you had already chosen should be fine.
you aren't looking to go 4K or run 144fps @ 1080p? then you are fine with these.

do not just take anyone on this site's word for absolute truth. you need to take these suggestions and find your own professional data, not just some fanboys post. look up professional and customer reviews before purchasing anything.
 
If you want something that isn't too expensive the Eco 430W, Has good quality and 400W on the 12V rail and that should be enough power to drive an OC'ed 6300 and 960 system, although isn't nearly enough to consider any future upgrades.

(Sadly the 520C Eco is no longer available, and the only other retailers will sell it at a very high markup at that.)

GPU==GTX 960 2 gb

idk man but 960 4gb is best you can buy r9 280 has just 2gb ram if you wanna play gta 5 you will have some trouble with fps (all i can say it is to get another 6500 rupees and get that 960 in you computer and play what you want) you old are you?
 
r9 280 has 3gb of ram btw and can play both gta v and witcher easy at high ultra depending the settings always. the i5 u mentioned is better than the fx not by far though and moreover u cant OC if u need. if u het the fx u better get an 990 mobo

R9 280 is not available were i live , so i m going with GTX 960 2 GB ...!!!
 


no . R9 280X is also not available ...!! R9 285 is available but it is off my budget and i have seen some videos on youtube in which GTX 960 plays very well in 1080p while R9 280 is little bit slower ....!! but when it comes to higher resolution R9 280 is best . but i dont want play games more than 1080p so i think this is fine ....!!!
 

i haven't seen any benchmark for that CPU in gaming. but, it should be okay. it's pretty slow but if it can handle good overclocks just get a nice CPU cooler and push that b*tch.

19" display is pretty small. if you're already using one that size and don't mind, then...?
i wouldn't go below 27". maybe a 120Hz 24". if you have an HDTV in the same room it's nice to always have it also hooked up for games. then the 19" should be fine for Windows and browsing.

get a nice Z97 motherboard and you should be good with whatever display you decide.

if you have the money an SSD is quite an addition. if you can afford one big enough for installing your newer games and Windows you will see startup times in Windows cut way down and load times in the games also.
make sure any hard drive you do get is a 7200rpm. you will notice the difference between 5200 and 7200rpms.
 


this is what i bought

asus GTX 960
8 GB 1600 MHz corsair vengeance
1 TB seagate
19 inch samsung
