FIRST OF ALL - I LIVE IN INDIA SO IT WOULD BE BEST IF SOMEONE CAN TAKE THE PRODUCT AVAILABILITY ISSUE IN CONSIDERATION AS WELL - SOMEONE FROM INDIA MIGHT BE BEST SUITED TO ANSWER MY QUESTION.

HOWEVER, EVERYONE IS WELCOME. I ONLY WANTED SOMEONE LOCAL SO THAT I CAN BE SURE OF PRODUCT AVAILABILITY, DON'T TAKE IT AS SOMETHING ELSE.


I want to create a pc gaming rig. However, there is something which I m not able to find anywhere in any tech forums. My dilemma goes like this -

1. I want to play all upcoming titles of 2016 - 2018. This is the first issue. I don't know about what config. would be future proof, concerning it's been 5 years since I bought my pc, and with my family income, I don't think it's gonna be any better for the next 5 years.

2. I play on a CRT monitor SyncMaster 793s [ resolution - 1024x768 ]! Again, this is something my preference, though I am planning on upgrading it to Dell S2216H FHD monitor in a year or two.

3. My budget is 70000 INR, and half of the specs listed on building guides are not available in India.

4. I am also persuing engineering from CS - Computer Science, and hence will need a system capable of handling some related task.

Now in view of above points, my decisions are -

Corsair Carbide 200R cabinet
Crucial Ballistix Elite 4 GB DDR4- 2666 MHz [ 2x ]
Cooler Master 212Evo
Corsair VS650 Watt PSU [ should I go to VS500 Watt instead? ]

I am mainly confuse a lot among

Motherboard [ Keeping in mind that I want to do OC in future ]
Graphics card [ which one will be best for my need, keeping in mind that I play in 1024x768 resolution, and still will be upgrading to FHD in future ]
Processor [ i3 or i5 ]

Also, I am going with Skylake build.


So what can I do to adjust and build a perfect gaming rig [ skylake ] with future proofing [ definetely in processor, and few years in graphics card, or should I leave graphics card for now? ] under 70000 INR [ Indian Rupee ]? Many thanks to anyone who might help me.

To me, you are trying to put the engine from a Ford Model T into a new Ferrari.

Upgrade your peripherals first, otherwise you will be wasting the power of the machine you are looking at building.

CRT 1024x768 Monitor on a Skylake Build, why waste the money? By the time you get a decent monitor (1-2 years) Skylake will be old news.
