Hello,
I am building a new computer soon. I have decided two parts list according to my budget.
Here are the two :
1) http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1anzD
2) http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1aniF

Monitor Resolution for playing games : 1024 by 768.

Which one of the two is good to go ?

I want to max out all the current games.

Budget?
What parts do you need?

One build has a psu and the other doesn't...so the first build won't run. The 7950 seems a bit overkill for gaming at your res. I would consider a 7870.

The parts I need are RAM, GPU, CPU and MOBO.
The first build doesn't have a PSU b'cause it's power requirements are low and I have a 400Watt PSU that can easily handle it.
What about a Radeon HD 7770 or Geforce GTX 650 Ti ? Can they handle the games @ medium settings @ 1024 by 768 ?

For either of the the two processors that you have chosen, I'd not go for the mobo's you've specified.
Since you do plan on using a not too old processor, those ones work best with the 990 chipset.
That is if you don't plan to upgrade the rig in the next year or two.

What brand and model is your psu? Having a bad brand psu can lead to lots of problems...Watts isn't the only thing that matters.

I think you should try to go for a 7850, but the 650ti or 7770 should be able to run most games on that res at medium settings.

I would take the first build since the second one is complete overkill, but grab this board: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a97ler2...

I just talked to my nearest computer store for asking the price of AMD Processor. That processor, they are selling for Rs.11,500.

That actually is a better deal than the sites I know of. The IT Depot was selling the FX-8350 for ₹13780 (USD $227.21) : http://www.theitdepot.com/details-AMD+FX-Series+FX+8350...

Well, Just tell me, If the above configurations are overkill, How will be this configuration ? :
Processor : AMD FX 6300 : Rs.6,500
RAM : 4GB Kingston Hyper X (2GB x 2) 1600Mhz : Rs.2,000
Motherboard : MSI 970A-G43 AMD AM3+ Motherboard : Rs.4,000
Graphics Card : Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 1GB DDR5 : Rs.7,500

G.Total : Rs.20,000.

Is this a good one ? Not to much Overpriced ? Not too much overkill @ 1024 by 768 ?
