Indrajeet Menon :
hello i want to buy a gaming pc which costs less than 1 lakh indian rupees or 1500 $ excluding the monitor.
i want preferably gtx 980m with AMD or intel i7 (which ever is good and fast)so that it will be future proof. i wanna play all games in ultra for next two years or more. kindly let me know the best build . thankyou
The performance difference between i5 and i7 in gaming is highly negligible or nil. So paying extra Rs. 7000 for i7 is not worth the money. The i5 4690K is a gaming beast coupled with GTX 970, will play all games @1080p with high-ultra graphical fidelity.
The GTX 970 for 1080p gaming is an awesome choice and more than enough. It'll play any game you throw at it with ease @1080p. In fact, it can play most games in 1440p at least with high graphical fidelity. So getting the GTX 980 for extra Rs. 19500 to get just 10% increased performance is again not worth the money.
Also try to get the components I suggest from local retailer shop than from online retailer, where the prices are insanely high. You'll easily save Rs. 8000 or more.
All prices are based on local retail market:
i5 4690K Rs. 17300
Cooler Master Hyper 212X Rs. 3000
Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H Rs. 9700
Corsair Vengeance (2x4GB) 8GB 1600MHZ RAM Rs. 4800
ASUS STRIX GTX 970 Rs. 26000
Samsung 850 EVO SSD 250GB Rs. 8500
Western Digital 1TB Caviar Blue Rs. 3500
Benq 24inch Gaming LED Monitor (RL2455HM) Rs. 14000
Antec GX Series GX300 Window PC Case Rs. 3600
Seasonic Eco Series 600W Power Supply (SS-600BT) Rs. 4500
Microsoft Windows 8.1 OEM Rs. 5700
Total - Rs. 100600
If fact, you don't even need a overclocking processor. A non-K 4590 will do a fine job in gaming. Alternative build with Gaming Keyboard/Mouse & UPS included:
i5 4590 Rs. 15300 [The default CPU Cooler that comes this processor will do a fine job. No need for third party cooling solution for this non-K processor]
Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H Rs. 7950
Corsair Vengeance (2x4GB) 8GB 1600MHZ RAM Rs. 4800
ASUS STRIX GTX 970 Rs. 26000
Samsung 850 EVO SSD 250GB Rs. 8500
Western Digital 1TB Caviar Blue Rs. 3500
Benq 24inch Gaming LED Monitor (RL2455HM) Rs. 14000
Antec GX Series GX300 Window PC Case Rs. 3600
Seasonic Eco Series 600W Power Supply (SS-600BT) Rs. 4500
Cooler Master Storm Devastator Gaming Bundle - Red LED Rs. 2700
APC Back-UPS 600 (BX600CI-IN) Rs. 2100
