Hey guys.Well , this is my first time building a PC.So far I always purchased pre-assembled PC's from shops and I've come to regret that (still waiting to play gta 4 ,mk 9) lamo.Last time I paid about Rs 50000(roughly 900 USD) for my gaming laptop about 3 years ago which was unable to run even gta 4.So I decided to assemble a PC myself this time.

My budget is about Rs 52000 or about 860 USD.I want to play games at 1600x900 med-high , though ultra is always welcome.I am mostly playing single player RPG games,GTA like games,fighting games like SF,MK and strategy games like total war series.Here's what I am thinking:

GPU : r9 270x or gtx 660
Cabinet : Can't decide, I want it to be below Rs 4000
Ram : Corsair vengeance 8 gb 1600 mhz - Rs 6000
Monitor : Some 1600x900 19-21 inch monitor under Rs 6000 (not decided exact one yet)
PSU : Cooler master thunder 600w - Rs 4000
CPU : Can't decided here - really confused between amd and intel lol
HDD : Seagate barracuda 1 TB
Motherboard : Can't decide this one too .. was thinking about h81 due to budget thing :p

I am actually stuck between choosing i3 4130 vs fx 6300.I don't know which one would be better for my gaming needs.Also I can prolly get a better GPU like gtx 760 or r9 280 if I go i3 4130/fx 6300+h81 mobo , otherwise I was thinking to get i5 4440+h81/h87 mobo with gtx 660 or r9 270x.Both i3 4130 and fx 6300 are like Rs 7000 for me while i5 4440 is Rs 12000.I am really confused in this matter , I will appreciate any help and suggestions on this matter.Thank you in advance :D


 
Solution
i5 4440 - 11500
h81 gigabyte mobo - 3600
seagate 1tb 7200 rpm - 3700
ram - 2x 4gb g.skill 6000
psu - antec vp 500w 3700 / antec neoeco 520w
gpu - gtx 960 18000
acer or dell 20 inch 5000-6000
get a normal cabinet and spend it the money on gpu . intex has cabinet about 1100 which looks decent
