People, I am a layman. Keep it as simple as possible. I need all things required to be listed and please, I can compromise on gaming cabinet and whatnot but not on gpu and processor. I need something in competition, slightly better than a ps4 and is futureproof, for like atleast 3-4 years, if not 5.


And also if you know a place where high end gaming parts come in cheap do tell. My dream build hung me around at 98K, (1650$), but i am not willing to spend so much.

I need something as a permanent structure on which i can further upgrade other pieces when they get obsolete.

If all and all upgrade takes place, and if i render the pc unupgradeable for after 5yrs, then i think it would be great for me to select a console. So do advice on that too !!

What do you usually do(gaming,editing etc)?
Do you need a copy of Windows? Monitor? Keyboard? Mouse? Headsets/speakers?

I need it for gaming. unlike people laying Dota, Wow or ARMA. I play stuff like assassins creed, gta and other sandbox games alongwith games like dishonored and such. I can get a keyboard anywhere, moniter, i have a 40in lcd with HDMI. Key n mouse, i got those too. No headsets or speakers. I mean only inbuilt. Yeah i do need a copy of windows. I want to multitask and play games with fluency. Even a med graphics qual would do. But dont add the cost of windows to this budgets. its strictly for pc build. Thanks !!

I know it's $60 over the budget,but it's worth every penny.
It can handle any game you throw at it.You will be able to play any game at high-ultra @ 50+ FPS.
It will last you for a long time.If you upgrade to an i7 4790K on the future,it will last even longer.
All the best. :)

Yeah, i was fixated with an i7 man, idk. How can i squeeze and i7 and compromise on other other thing that could just slightly reduce peformance in games and not significantly reduce my graphics and quality.

I guess I can clear some stuff.
I would:

Like an i7, if it has been proved better for gaming. I heard people call out i5 to be more value for money in gaming.

Like a great gpu, esp a GTX 770, beter than r9 270x and plays almost all games smoothly in v.high and high graphics.

Idk about SSD, you guys can advise how it could boost/nullify effects on my pc and if its really wort it. HDD for base I will keep 500GB soon enough will expand at 1TB but after year or so as i already have a portable HD.

Dislike a poor GPU with miminal func. quality where games dont run that smoothly and isnt comparable with PS4 grapic card.

Dislike the motherboard that wouldnt allow further uprgades for like atleast a decade.

Dislike more than 8GB ram, dual or single.

Dislike i3, seriously no i3's or even poor AMD processors.

Ok to answer your questions

1) i7 have hyper threading that makes them useful in upcoming games and great for other activites other then gaming

2)The 770 is way better than a r9 270x however the r9 270x is comparable to a gtx 760, 770 to a r9 280x, etc

3) You will need a hdd to keep all the big stuff but a ssd speeds up boot times and load up screens.

4) The r9 280x is great and less expensive than a 770 the r9 290 is a high end gpu that cost almost as much as a 770 though stronger.

5) Theres no mobo that would allow you to upgrade for a decade unless you got the x99 mobos this fall(999$ for a mobo)

6) 8gb of ram is good for just gaming but should be in dual channel as dual channel gives a performance increase(slight but still)

7) For a 1000$ build a fx 8320/i5 and up should be considered no i3's/fx 6300 from me.

So, what kind of mobo would you suggest so that I can upgrade and lasts a long time. I will try my hand at an i5 and 500gb hdd 128 ssd and medium end parts for the time being although I really want a permanent gaming solution. Thats the main reason I choose pc over ps4, where ps4 or xbox ones lifee being 6 to 7 years this time. Will be pc be able to keep to that duration ??

You don't need a wired adapter or a sound card because your motherboard has those already. You can get a much cheaper brand of ssd. Just check the reviews if you're worried about their quality. For this price range, I don't understand why you went with amd instead of an intel i5 4690k. Modern games don't take advantage of all 8 cores so the i5 is stronger for gaming. If you go with the i5 you have to switch your motherboard too.

Umm wow, this is really a cool build !! But isnt AMD little cheaper and yet nearly as powerful for gaming ?
Also I chose 780, which I hear people calling a beast in gaming, so how would a RADEON R9 290 compare against it. Rest of the stuff, yeah can be cut to minimalistic values, but I just had doubts regarding these two items. Cause the AMD and Nvidia were value for money.

AMD CPUs are decent for gaming,but nowhere as near the i5s and i7s.
R9 290 and the GTX 780 are similar cards.You can go with whichever one you want,but I'm more of a AMD GPU guy,so I prefer the 290,but just by a little bit.Both are awesome cards and you won't regret buying either one. ;)

so for 10$ less you get a less reliable, worse performing ssd when he could go with the #1 manufacturer.

FYI getting an i7 build in 60k RS will be hard (ie impossible) without sacrificing something. Did you plan on overclocking your CPU?

CPU Options:
i7 4790k (24k RS) - http://www.flipkart.com/intel-i7-4790k-processor/p/itmd...

i7 Total: 74k-92k RS
i5 Total: 67k-86k

With some shopping around you can probably find some better prices. You can get a cheaper mobo but you would lose the OC ability and the SLI/CF capability. For ppl in India I typically only recommend Seasonic for the PSU, most of the other units are not as good quality, 620w is enough for any single GPU but not enough for SLI or CF, you would need 750-850w for that (more $$$)

If you went with a i5 4440 and a cheaper z97 or h97 mobo you could save around 8k RS but then you lose the OC ability.

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Theloneultimate/saved/34Tp..., this is affordable as for now, contains everything I want to. But not sure if I can get all stuff in India and espescially at this reasonable rate. I can maximum stretch upto 75k, but I am for now fixated on this build. Suggest me anything to change in this ?? And where would I get all those parts if I want to in India ?

Thanks, I just went for a lil costlier cooler but full modular. That just upped some costs. Also trying to get a better case, as corsair 200R ATX mid looks bored and mundane. :)

With some shopping around you can probably find some better prices. You can get a cheaper mobo but you would lose the OC ability and the SLI/CF capability. For ppl in India I typically only recommend Seasonic for the PSU, most of the other units are not as good quality, 620w is enough for any single GPU but not enough for SLI or CF, you would need 750-850w for that (more $$$)

If you went with a i5 4440 and a cheaper z97 or h97 mobo you could save around 8k RS but then you lose the OC ability.


http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Theloneultimate/saved/34Tp..., this is affordable as for now, contains everything I want to. But not sure if I can get all stuff in India and espescially at this reasonable rate. I can maximum stretch upto 75k, but I am for now fixated on this build. Suggest me anything to change in this ?? And where would I get all those parts if I want to in India ?


Change the PSU to a Seasonic M12II Bronze 620W,as this Supernova NEX isn't the best quality.It's not bad,but it's not as good as this Seasonic is.
Also,go for either a Gigabyte,Sapphire or an XFX R9 290,as Powercolor isn't as reliable as these three.
Other than that,the build looks good. ;) 
All the best.

Wow thsts a ton of solutions. Which brings me more confusion. Lets settle some points.

Processor: i5 4670k vs 4690k ? : I wont overclock for like a year and a half so which one to take ? 4690k is just 15$ more anyway ,so does it matter ?

Cooler: As i wont be overclocking anytime soon, is this really required ?

Motherboard: Gigabyte UD3H vs MSI z97x gaming 5 ? Does motherboard actually increase decrease perfomance in computing and gaming, noticeably ??

Memory: Isnt G.skill ripjaws X 2x4GB best value for money ?

Storage: Do I need 256GB ssd and 1tb HDD for gaming ? I have a 500GB external on which i store t.v. series and movies.

GPU: I have chosen r9 290. Is it an overkill or future proof for games ? Plus does saphire or gigbyte actually matter ? Both are tier 1 manufacturers. I have also seen reports of sapphire getting bad in a year or so whereas powercolor working for even longer.

Case: I need one with a window, lil stlyish but no too heavy on pocket, as i intend to get a full tower after a couple of years.

PSU: Which one is optimum for now as i wont add cards or even overclock anything in the near future. Full module vs no/semi module ? Which one has best value ?

Optical Drive: If it goes heavy on pocket, i will skip this for now and go for it later after half an year or so.

Wireless network adapter: if its really worth it ? Cause i can get cheaper ones that are external.

My budget stands to be somewhere between 1000-1100$. Flexible to 1200$ if the parts are really cool and make a sea changing difference. But not 1400$/1500$ please.

I have read forums saying sapphire gpu are best and all but i will play with my headphones plugged in and noise and heat doesnt matter as my room temp is usually 26C-22C Rarely above 30C. So is paying 30bucks more worth in my case ?
If it gigabyte heats up and makes noise, how else can i prevent that ? Not by buying another GPU and replacing it, any other way ??

Processor: i5 4690K is better,as it is easier to OC. You don't want to do that,so you can get the 4670K if you want to save some money,but I would still recommend the 4690K.
Cooler: The stock cooler is enough,but a good CPU cooler is a better choice as it will cool the CPU better and it will be quieter.
Motherboard: It doesn't increase/decrease performance,but getting a good motherboard from a trusted manufacturer is crucial.I personally prefer Gigabyte motherboards,but if you want to go with an MSI,then feel free to do so.
Memory: Every good 2x4GB RAM is around $80,so it really doesn't matter. G.Skill RipjawsX is a really good quality ram and it comes from a trusted manufacturer,so you can't go wrong with it.
Storage: 1TB is enough,but an SSD is probably the best upgrade you can do to a PC. 120GB Samsung 840 EVO is enough,as you can install your OS on it and some games,which will result in faster boot times and faster game load times.
GPU: The R9 290 is the best price/performance GPU.It is awesome for 1080p gaming,and even for 1440p.As far as the manufacturer goes,it really doesn't matter.Both Gigabyte and Sapphire are awesome brands and you can't go wrong with either one.I personally prefer Sapphire,but if you want to go with a Gigabyte,then be my guest.
Case: Corsair Carbide 300R Windowed is an excellent choice,as it has a window,plenty of room(170mm for CPU coolers,2x140mm rad mounts on top and 7 fans in total (http://www.corsair.com/en/carbide-series-300r-windowed-...) and 450mm for a GPU) and very good airflow for the best cooling effectiveness.
PSU: Any 620-650W Tier One,Tier 2 Class A or Class B will be great:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1804779/power-...
My personal recommendations are Seasonic S12/M12 II Bronze 620W,Antec HCG 620W or XFX Core 650W.
Optical drive: Not really needed,but it is only like $10-15 and it can be useful.For instance,if you want to watch a movie on a CD and you don't have a DVD Player,then you will have to transfer the movie onto a USB,which can be difficult sometimes.
Wireless Network Adapters: Not needed if your motherboard has built in wifi.But still not needed,and if you really need it,then a TP-Link adapter is an excellent choice.

i5 4690k for the difference just get it more performance for a little more money.

You can always buy the cooler when you feel you need to overclock later.

You want a good motherboard so it doesnt fail, can be stable on a overclock(big part on overclocking is having high end overclockable parts such as a good mobo.)

Yeah g.skill is reliable and has great price/performance 2133 mhz ram for 76$ good deal.

You can keep your hdd and buy the ssd for a nice speed boost(very noticable) and good for gaming,editing,rendering,etc. 120gb is a minnimum anything less fills up to quickly, 250gb will secure u with tons of space and fast speeds.

Nothing is really overkill if you want it to last long. the r9 290 comes with "futureproof" 4gb vram, fast performance, 4k and is a great choice.

CM N600 windowed, Corsair 450d, nzxt 410 phantom, fractal arc, nzxt h440.

Full modular is nice since less cables and clutter means better airflow which means less heat and better overclocks when you do. a semi modular is also good. bronze is a minnimum nothing under, gold should be max dont pay to much for platinum/titanum when they lower the bill by .50c a year.

You can buy a optical if you want not neccesary as things are more digital now but good for movies and installing os,etc.

Buy a pci-e based wireless adapter for the fastest most consistent connection. wireless isnt really recommended for gaming as it can dip, fluctuate, and other factors can stop it from giving you good speeds.(example 50mbps with ethernet, 10-15mbps on wireless)

For GPU, gigabyte or Sapphire, for me personally, heat or sound doesnt matter as long as it can get the job done. I have a cool room at all times and sapphire asks me to pay up 40$ more for just such small increments, worth it ?

For PSU, if electricity bill isnt a primary concern here, which one should i go for ? Seasonic 620W good enough ?

For Wireless adapter, For gaming i might occasionally attach a ethernet, but for surfing, i would require wireless. So mobo with in built adapter or internal ?

All good questions

1)get the gigabyte since it cools well, and is cheaper. Sapphire usually charges more for thier excellent coolers.

2) dude when building a computer the eletricity build wont really raise much. get a bronze or gold or higher if you can afford it nothing lower. You can get the 620 or you can get a 850w for 20$ more which can allow for sli/cfx if you want.

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b2085...

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b2075...

extra power for more beefy components, backed with 10yr warranty.

3) Get a pci-e based wifi card they use pci lanes(they allow for insane amounts of data to travel such as ssd speeds up to 32gb/s(thats fast).) this will allow for a stable connection when on wifi and best internet possible over usb.

Guys thanks for all the answers. so i went to my local dealer for the items. He on the authority of him being a gamer told me that as I was already buying a high end R9 graphics card, I didnt need one by intel. Also as I plan to overclock a year later, therfore AMD FX 8350 gives higher performance after overclocking. Plus it has 8 cores which might be considerable be better. 8350 is just lil behind in single core performance and so its not much of a con for me. Plus its around 70-80$ less. He said he uses a fx 8320 himself and its optimum for gaming.


All of the above was from him. Now I want you all to tell me. i5 4690k vs fx 8350 ?
Yeah I have a budget build and its currently 250$ over budget.

This is what I aim for. I have taken out some unnecessary components. Sapphire R9 is quieter and cooler but I can reduce my room temperature greatly by 10-12C and I would use this as a Console and plug this PC on my t.v., play with with surround sound speakers at high volume or with headphones. So I dont want to pay 70$ more for slightly better sound and noise benchmarks. Plus tell me if I need to add anything else or subtract. I wanted a wireless card but you people said ethernet is better for surfing and gaming so going with that. I dont actually need a optical drive, for now.
I would like to know though, is there any way i could still cool a Gigabyte card ? It is still well $92.00 above budget but will suffice.

why don't u wait for the soon to be released GTX 9XX OR R9 3XX

IMHO new architecture and 20nm = Lower power consumption less heat more performance Per $

You are from India. right? Then the international shipping charges will be way too high and outweigh the advantages of ordering from sites like Newegg.

Numanator has suggested a good build and you can certainly get parts somewhat cheaper (a guy got i7 - 4770 for 17k from local market in Mumbai whereas on Flipkart, it's more than 21K). Look around the local market, and bargain. And yes, if you can then it will be prudent to wait on the next generation of GPUs, there will definitely be price slashes to promote the new stuff !

also more on that the moment AMD releases the R9 300 which is sometime after the GTX 900 the same thing with the GTX 780 might happen the GPUS will get a price cut unless the rumored price was true which is 450 or 550 $ for the GTX 980

I have a GPU budget of 400$ cant go more than that. I also plan to buy a wireless card and/or optical drive if I could get a GPU like gigabyte at lesser costs and not much performance change. New Gen GPU wont be that cheap. Plus r9 290 is future proof for atleast 3-4 years for med-high res gaming.

FYI getting an i7 build in 60k RS will be hard (ie impossible) without sacrificing something. Did you plan on overclocking your CPU?

CPU Options:
i7 4790k (24k RS) - http://www.flipkart.com/intel-i7-4790k-processor/p/itmd...
i5 4690k (17k) - http://www.flipkart.com/intel-i5-4690k-processor/p/itmd...


GPU Options
r9 270x (14k RS) - http://www.flipkart.com/sapphire-amd-ati-radeon-r9-270x...
gtx 760 (20k RS) -http://www.flipkart.com/zotac-nvidia-geforce-gtx-760-am...
r9 280x (23k RS) - http://www.flipkart.com/sapphire-amd-ati-radeon-r9-280x...
gtx 770 (28k RS) - http://www.flipkart.com/galaxy-nvidia-geforce-gtx-770-g...

PSU: Seasonic 620w S12II (5.5k) - http://www.flipkart.com/seasonic-s12ii-620-watts-psu/p/...

Mobo:
Gigabyte GA Z97X UD3H (19k) http://www.flipkart.com/gigabyte-ga-z97x-ud3h-bk-lga-11...
Asus Z97-a (14k) - http://www.snapdeal.com/product/asus-mother-board-z97a/... Specifications

RAM (7k) - http://www.flipkart.com/g-skill-ripjawsx-ddr3-8-gb-2-x-...

HDD (3.5k) - http://www.flipkart.com/wd-blue-wd10ezex-1-tb-internal-...

Case: Corsair 300R (6.5k) - http://www.snapdeal.com/product/corsair-carbide-300r-cp...

i7 Total: 74k-92k RS
i5 Total: 67k-86k

With some shopping around you can probably find some better prices. You can get a cheaper mobo but you would lose the OC ability and the SLI/CF capability. For ppl in India I typically only recommend Seasonic for the PSU, most of the other units are not as good quality, 620w is enough for any single GPU but not enough for SLI or CF, you would need 750-850w for that (more $$$)

If you went with a i5 4440 and a cheaper z97 or h97 mobo you could save around 8k RS but then you lose the OC ability.



Dude, I am planning for a i5 with simple and decent mobo and r9 290. In Inida with flipkart, it comes to 1.10k. 50k over my budget. Care to help. Know any local areas where stuff would be cheaper ??

In mumbai are there markets where you can get atleast the CPU, GPU and motherboards for a cheaper cost. As given on newegg prices if converted and flipkart prices compared the difference is 26k. Where if i get these three from usa, i will be paying 15k taxes. So basically will still have 9k difference. In mumbai or areas nearby or even any place which home delivers in India, can i cheaper versions ?

GUYS !!!!

I have a case problem too.

So, I need a case full/mid.

Huge window for RED LED display, idk how i will get that.

Need atleast 4USB ports. Two for keyboard and mouse other two for my pen and hard drive.

Need a drive bay for DVD wrtier and most probable in distant future a blu ray reader.

Really good looking as I would like to put up two red led fans up ahead on front panel, need a black case. plastic/steel finish

If possible my budget is 100$. Can extent upto max $166 if stuff is really good.

You will have to go through the shops and compare the prices, it takes time and patience and that's why people order online.

You may save some money after paying taxes, but you will have to pay to ship them back if one or more parts become defective so at first check the warranty/guarantee policy of the companies in India if you buy from abroad.

Here are some cheaper or a bit costlier, but effective options around your budget!

Antec X1-E Gaming Cabinet With Window,

Thermaltake Versa H21 Window

Corsair Carbide Series SPEC 02 RED LED / CORSAIR CARBIDE SERIES SPEC-03 WHITE LED STEEL

BitFenix Shinobi Window

LIAN LI Lancool PC-K58 Dragon Lord Black Steel

Thermaltake Commander MS-I ID

Cooler Master N200

Thermaltake VL80001W2Z

Fractal Design Core 1000 USB 3.0

Yup, I have been at it for more than 2-3 months now. Most of the dealers are ignorant when it comes to building a gaming pc which is med-high and declare a full tower is a must and less than 1000w psu wont work and i7 is needed to run games etc. Plus nowhere the prices have dropped or seem favourable. So if I can order on Black friday from america to my friends house at a discount and ask him to drop this stuff by my house when he visits, wont it work ? As these black friday and chrstimas discounts arent that big in my country.
