Dude... how old is your PC?...
 



Its fairly old 5 years approximately...i know its pretty much a shame for a system compared to today's PCs

 


well... to be honest you should better buy a PS4 with that amount of money, because you cant build a medium budget gaming PC, for that you need at least 500-600$
 



What if i push up the budget to $ 500-600
What all should i get ?

 


You will need a good PSU.

Thanks man

Will the processor or motherboard cause any bottle neck ?
and what about RAM?
 


I just read your thread again, is your budget Rs.37,000 or 18,000. Then I will suggest a better build.


 


I can push it up to 37000 but i need a system a bit longer life
im not that heavy a gamer so medium settings in 1366x768 will do

So please suggest :)

I think you already have some parts like a cabinet etc. Tell me which parts can be removed and I will tell you a better PSU.
I too am from India.
