Motherboard:asus a88xm-a-$110(i.e Rs 6700)
Ram:Corsair Vengeance 4gb DDR3 1600Mhz-$40(i.e Rs2600)

have you tried "pcpartpicker.com"? it breaks down every part in a system build and will give you the cheapest price compared to several retailers. thats where i would look for a cheap case under $25...this build looks good and that APU apparently comes with R7 integrated graphics which is pretty good. what games do you want to play because you can get a away with a lot by playing low at 1280x768 resolution.

You will need more RAM I have 12 GB of 1333MHz Samsung RAM running on my A6-5400K and A43420.

I had a WD Caviar Green 1TB die on my after a year.

I tend to play bf3,bf4,assassin creed all,max payne3, call of duty all.
as this is my first gaming pc so wanna play all.
and I will add ram later thats why I had gone for 4 slot motherboard. If I had taken 2 slot mobo it would have cost me half of that. But later I am planning to add more 4Gb.
and so should I go for seagate? Actually my old build which is going to be 5years old now is having seagate HDD only still there is no defect actually I have heard wd green is better then seagate. Thats why I opted for it.
and buddy I am from India so cant go for pcpartpicker and it doesnt have a8-7600 as it is still not launch amd today announced it will be available in Q2 so I hope It will be available till april end or may starting.

as for the RAM 8 is all you need for a regular build but because this is an APU you're going to need extra RAM to be used as "video RAM" so 12 is a good suggestion. as for those games with an APU you could definitely wait for that A8 processor and i believe it will have no problem playing at those specs you were expecting (the APU may be able to play certain games at higher graphics).

First of all 24000Rs are not 400 Dollar. Reason being things are much expensive here e.g: FX 6300 is 80$ i.e around 4800Rs but actual price in India is 8400Rs so much difference due to taxes + improt duties and ofc stock marketing.

so for 24000 you should wait a while till APU 7850k is released in India. Because so far thats most effective performance APU.

However if you are in Rush then tell us?

Double post (sorry for it).
Anyways that PSU i wont trust much its a low quality but is of a good brand. However make a more future proof selecting Corshair CX 500M its waaaay better for a little price difference.
Rest parts are good.

Also if you gonna wait for release of new APU then better waiting would be for APU 7850k. i would trust more on it :) )

A10-7850k is already available in India but it costly almost Rs13000(i.e $210)
so cant go for it as i am on tight budget.
and vs550 i thought
cx500m in India cost Rs5000(I.e $82) so cant go for it.
should I go for cx430m it will be in my budget but wattage is less

that should be enough for CPU and a GPU like R9 270x but i am not sure since requirement for that is 500w however

John byrne replied this to my tweet when I asked him about a8-7600 launch date.
So I guess it will be available in june or something.:(  it is shipping to OEMs now. The component introduction will be in the second half of the year.
How about this smps??
http://www.flipkart.com/corsair-smps-cx500-500-watts-ps...


yep thats a very good one , decent quality , low noise and good power.

However the wire with it is of different way then its standard in indian stores so you may need to get a different wire OR use a Adapter which support those pin types
It isnt a big problem tho.

Go with that PSU surely

well if you cant afford A10-7850k yet best would be wait for 7600k however if you can extend your budget to about 28-29k it would be good worth. since you can get your hands on 7850k with other parts also good!

7850K - Rs 13000
MSI FM2+ 78M E35 Mobo - Rs 4000 (discount from 7000 on flpikart)
RAM: Kingston HyperX 1x4GB 1600Mhz - Rs 2800
WD 500GB blue HDD - Rs 3000 (1TB has became expensive 2 month ago was of 3400 lol)
Case: for about 2000 , cooler master Elite 310 probably. - Rs 2000
LG DVD writer Rs 1000
PSU: Cooler master CX500 - 3600 (best future proof)
