get a pentium g3258, it wont bottle neck your GPU its only 75 USA dollars, and down the road you can over clock it, plus its on the 1150 socket so ur mother board will still be future proof. it saves money, and when overclocked it will out perform that i5 in gaming. plus it uses less power and runs cooler so you'll have less noise and less heat in the room.

again, the pentium with a 30 dollar cooler will still be cheaper and overclocking it will make it faster than that i5 during gaming, switching to amd will get you more bang for your buck and i do recommend that decision. however, after these new pentium chips landed i cannot recommend anything else. unlocked haswell chip at 75$ , yeah you may not have an enthusiast level build, but your not will to drop 1.3 k so nothing else is worth it

Well AMD cards can not use physx but I have Nvidia cards and I think Physx and Gsync are kinda stupid.

IMO physx isn't worth the extra processing power anyways. The strongest argument for Nvidia is better drivers and slightly higher quality products, which is why they cost a little more.

Any place where I can buy GTX 660 in Rs 10000. And I seen FX 6300 worth so less than I5 3450. I5 is only 2% better than FX 6300. I not plan overclocking now so there is no point to buy a Pentium series processor ( I don't like pentium series)

This build will do very good, I'd recommend it instead of the Pentium someone else mentioned.

Unless your build a workstation computer you dont need more than 2 cores, unless you have a gpu that will bottle neck on the cpu. In your case, and i5 like that will be stronger than your graphics card in all situations, however, in some situations your graphics card will be the bottle neck, your are sacraficing performance because you are reading forums about processor ratings, but when they benchmark processors they alleviate all other bottle necks, so they might run a titan z wih a buch of different processors to make sure the fps is NOT bottle necked by the graphics, however on your budget the bottle neck will ALWAYS be the gpu since you not planning on buying a flagship or crossfiring. you will be dissapointed to build with that i5 at that price point i promise. The fx-6300 however is a good middle ground between the i5 and the pentium. Like i said though, at 600 dollars, and i5 is never worth it.

Or get an AMD FX 6-Core?
More performance than a Pentium but cheaper then the i5.
