Cheaper Configuration→Gtx 750Ti + Corsair CX 430W 80+bronze certified PSU + i5 4440

All I'm saying is that if you get i5 4440 with a weak gpu like r7 240 you won't get the full potential out of your cpu

I3 4130+ r9 270 will be much better in gaming than i5 4440 + r7 240

And if you get fx6300 you will need aftermarket cpu cooler if you are going to operate it in that hot conditions.

If you still wanna go with i5 4440 I'd suggest you to not buy r7 240 for the meantime and the build you listed go with it. The iGPU of i5 will be enough for any game for playing at 720p + medium settings and will give you around 20-25fps in heavy games. Whenever you have opportunity get a nice graphics card to pair with i5 4440

There is going to be serious bottleneck with that graphics card.
I'd suggest gtx 760 or r9 270x or 270.
But if you want to stick with your budget and build a gaming pc get Core i3 4130 with r9 270x or 270
Or more better is AMD FX 6300 and r9 270x or 270

I'm based in India and the temp here is 32 to 35 degree, isn't that going to be too hot for an amd which has a TDP of 125 W

R9 270x or gtx 760 would be way too costly for me ... can you suggest a cheaper configuration please
