Trying to make my own Gaming PC, help please

harry samra · May 9, 2014

Hi,
I am thinking of building my own gaming PC, under $200.

Can you suggest some nice Processors, Graphic cards and their compatible Motherboard for gaming.

I don't need anything else, i just need a Processors, Graphic cards and a Motherboard, nothing else like case/hdd/ram/OS, etc i have those

So, i have a budget of $170 and i want a Processor, Graphic card and a motherboard and for gaming. I am not a hardcore gamer so even if the game will run on low or medium settings, it will work

Thanks

$170? That's a challenging build. Considering the operating system alone is about $80. Do you need a case?

Snipergod87 :

First of all thanks for the reply,
Actually i just need a processor GPU and Motherboard "Nothing Else". I live in India and i think here we can pretty decent processors GPUs and Motherboards just for $170 in total

I had selected some but i wasn't sure about them, you can have a look

Feel free to look at that site and suggest me something from any of the three

GT 610 is not a "gaming" gpu.

Nordiga · May 9, 2014

At least a gddr5 gpu mate, gt610 is gddr3, not gaming at all.
A gtx 650 will be ok, europe price is 100 euros.

Just save up your money. You aren't going to get anything worth while at 170 bucks.

harry samra · May 9, 2014

Really lol, i had no idea
That's why i am asking for your suggestion, please suggest but it need to be under the budget maximum Indian rupee 4000 that makes $70

Thanks

Would an AMD APU work out better?

harry samra · May 9, 2014

If you think it would work you can tell me
give me the link and i can check it out and if its good(i mean its reviews) then i can get it

Thanks

Like i said earlier here in India 170 bucks are decent enough to get a nice processor GPU and a motherboard, check out this website - http://www.flipkart.com/search?q=graphic+card+&as=off&as-show=on&otracker=start
and suggest me something which is cheap like under Rs.4000 and good too!!
Thanks

harry samra :

Except its not. The parts you had listed might get you into playing some games on low from 5 years ago but nothing even relatively recent. I had a look at the website and there is no even halfway decent GPUs for 4k Rs.

harry samra · May 9, 2014

Snipergod87 :

One more thing, Like is said earlier i am not a hardcore gamer, i can manage to play games on medium or low setting even
I just play games like Fifa, NFS, OMD Unchained, etc

Thanks

So how much do you suggest i should spend on a GPU
i just play some online games and FIFA, NFS, TOTAL WAR series and OMD Unchained

At least grab up a 7750(ddr5, ddr3 is lame)/GTx 750. If you cant afford that grab a 6670 DDR5 off ebay for about 60-70USD.

harry samra · May 9, 2014

60-70 bucks are ok, what about the processor and motherboard ?? Are the ones i selected ok..

mouse24 · May 9, 2014

You'd get a lot more performance out of either an FM2 board + athlon x4 740k or possibly a used AM3 board + 6300? If you can't afford those the only other option is to check out ebay for a used phenom 2 x4. If any of those options are available in your area and in your budget, grab em.

harry samra · May 9, 2014

Thanks, i will look into it and is the GPU of which i sent you a link ok...
http://www.ebay.in/itm/XFX-ATI-Radeon-HD-4870-1GB-DDR5-S-Video-TV-out-Graphic-GTX-550-560-HD-6770-7770-/271454715629?pt=IN_Computer_Components&hash=item3f33f63eed&_uhb=1

harry samra · May 9, 2014

mouse24 :

And you mentioned a "6300" whats that

Thanks

chimera201 · May 10, 2014

If you have DDR2 RAM, that is not going to work. You will have to buy DDR3 RAM
I also definitely think that you need a new PSU

So how much is your total budget in INR for CPU, mobo, GPU, RAM, PSU?
And yeah you need to increase your budget by quite a lot
