Hi Tom’s Hardware,

I am planning to buy a gaming and multitasking PC, and I would like to ask you, if this CPU configuration is enough to run this system?

PSU :Corsair VS550 550 Watt PSU Rs. 3240
Motherboard : ASRock Z87 Extreme4 Motherboard Rs. 14399
CPU : Intel 3.4 GHz LGA 1150 4670K i5 4th Generation Processor Rs. 16459
RAM(OS) :Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10) Rs. 5850
HDD :Seagate Barracuda 2 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (ST2000DM001) Rs. 5933
SDD :Kingston 60 GB SSD Internal Hard Drive (SUV100S37A/60G) Rs. 3675
GPU :MSI NVIDIA N630GT-MD4GD3 4 GB DDR3 Graphics Card Rs. 4600
COOLER :Cooler Master SickleFlow Red 120 mm Cooler Rs. 530
KEYBOARD :Cooler Master Devastator USB Mouse and USB Keyboard Rs. 3190
SPEAKERS :Creative SBS A335 Multimedia Speakers (2.1 Channel) Rs. 1648

[THESE ARE FLIPKART PRICE]
Is all above parts compatible and is the motherboard good for this kind of build? My Budget is about Rs. 60,000($1000).

Thank you.

Vimanyu,

GPU - The MSI GT 630 is an entry level based card and a PCI E2.0 and not 3.0. That makes a lot of difference when it comes to performance in AAA game titles.
Presently, you've selected an amazing cpu and motherboard. Select a mid-range card at least to give you a steady flow of fps with intensive games. How about the 650 Ti at least or AMD Radeon 7770?

If you're not satisfied, do a little more research on the GT 630's benchmarks.

PSU - Good choice with the PSU.
CPU COOLER - Perfect.
SSD - 60 gigs is good for booting up your OS. No worries on that one.

RAM - I personally am using 1X8 Corsair Vegeance cuz I was short on budget too. But a single stick works great for me. However I'm planing to pick another one soon cuz it...

Good selection of CPU and Motherboard.

I'd recommend a few changes.

1- Get a different GPU. What's your budget on that one? It'll be great if you could pick one from AMD's R9 series or Nvidia GTX 760 or higher.

2- Get a FULLY MODULAR PSU 600W/650W. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm_2RG61hhk

3- What about your cabinet? See if your budget supports a full tower.

4- Get a 1TB HDD and invest the remaining amount in a Samsung Evo SSD.

5- Get a CPU Cooler if you'll be gaming for long hours. Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo.

Thankyou For Your Response.
On your Advice I have Made same changes please verify them as well...
PSU : Corsair VS650 650 Watt PSU Rs. 4140
CPU COOLER : Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Cooler Rs. 2857
THE GPU you suggested are really expensive almost 5x the 1 i have selected.....are their any serious drawback of MSI NVIDIA N630GT-MD4GD3 4 GB DDR3 Graphics Card???
I just want to keep windows in the SDD so isn't a 60gb SDD enough for this???
Is RAM 2X4gb Better Than 1X8GB??
And can you tell me how to transfer data from my old HDD (500gb) to a new one??

I'd suggest that if you can wait, get 1X8 for now and get another stick in the near future.

Transferring Data: My two cents, I would buy an external HDD case and put the old one in it. Then later transfer the data that I need to the new drive through the external HDD.

Are you getting all the components at one-go?
Good luck with your build!

No problem, bud.
Glad I could help you out.

You can go on for a good amount of time with a good setup that you're putting together now.
Yup, an upgrade in 2-3 yrs. time with a faster GPU will enhance your gaming experience.
And extra RAM will always be a plus point considering how demanding games and 3d applications are getting.

What titles do you play most of the time?
