Best GPU+PSU Combo For Both INR 8,000 and INR 10,000

Pranav1999 · Nov 6, 2014

My rig:
Intel i3 530 2.93 Ghz OC'd to 3.3 Ghz
Palit NVIDIA GeForce 210 1 GB DDR3 64 Bits OC'd 20%
6.0 GB DDR3 RAM
Motherboard: Intel DH55TC
500GB HDD
DVD Drive: LG Optical Disc Drive (Supports all CDs and DVDs) (Installed in 2014)
PSU: Quantum AC Input 230v 50Hz with 2 Sata Connector
Cabinet: iBall Cabinet with SMPS-iBall Piano 108 Black Red
Everything is on stock cooling.

Hi guys! I am going to upgrade my PC soon and am looking for suggestions. I know that I'll have to change my PSU. So, as the title says, I am looking for the best GPU+PSU combo (i.e. both GPU and PSU in the mentioned budget) for INR 8,000 and INR 10,000 (Indian Rupees).

I am looking for an upgrade that'll allow me to play games on my PC for the next 2-3 years with decent settings. I don't mind going all low as long as i am able to play with a smooth frame rate.

And yes, as you can already see, I will be overclocking both my CPU and GPU. Lastly, should I add 2 more gigs of DDR3 RAM (it's the only one I'll buy) or will I be able to play games as i mentioned above without it?

P.S. Please don't convert prices from a different currency to INR (or vice versa). There's a lot of price difference from country to country.

MSI GeForce GTX 750Ti 2 GB GDDR5 Rs. 11,999

Seasonic S12II 520 Rs. 5,050

You need a new CPU too

Alan Caldwell · Nov 7, 2014

Please mention whether you need a graphics card within Rs.10,000 and PSU for Rs.8,000. Or both within Rs.10,000.

Whoo boy! I am sorry. For I thought that what I have written is enough to help people understand what I am trying to say.
I'll clear the confusion.
I want GPU and PSU both in 1) INR 8,000 and 2) INR 10,000.
What I mean to say is...
1) Tell me a GPU and a PSU both of which I can buy in about INR 8,000
2) Then, tell me a GPU and a PSU both of which I can buy in about INR 10,000

chimera201 · Nov 7, 2014

huh.. why 2 prices?

Pranav1999 · Nov 7, 2014

chimera201 :

I am sorry for the incomplete info. (I have updated it in 2nd my reply)
But, no, I cannot upgrade my CPU. Please, do tell me why do i need to upgrade it? I mean, what benefits would I get compared to my current CPU?

Pranav1999 · Nov 7, 2014

Because my elder brother will approve of the upgrade and he will also be the one who'll help it pass. So, I need something that'll appeal to him.

Pranav1999 · Nov 7, 2014

THANKS A LOT!
I'll wait a lil' more for other answers before picking one as the solution.

I also asked a lil' about the RAM. What do you think?

chimera201 · Nov 7, 2014

6GB RAM is enough with that setup. Even with the GPU upgrade it's still a very low end gaming rig

Alan Caldwell · Nov 8, 2014

Budget of Rs.8,000.
PSU: Rs.2,650

It's better to go for a GTX 750. Because it's powerful and it's energy efficient than the HD 7770.
Comparison:

For RAM, the 6GB is sufficient. So if you can put more money into it because of no RAM please tell me and I will tell a better model. I too am from India.

I would've thought about adding more RAM if it was necessary. But it isn't, so I won't. No, I won't put more money into it.
Thanks.

Pranav1999 · Nov 8, 2014

Please tell me which one is better. 'R7 240 2GB DDR3' OR 'GT 730 GC 1 GB DDR5'. Also, can I run all the 4 mentioned cards on a 430w PSU?

chimera201 · Nov 8, 2014

GT 730 64-bit GDDR5 is better than R7 240
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

Yes it will run on a 430W PSU I suggested

Pranav1999 · Nov 8, 2014

Thanks to the both of you for helping me out!

I called up at the place from where I'll be buying the stuff.
GTX 750 - INR 9,500
HD 7770 - INR 8,000
Cooler Master Thunder 450w - INR 2,700
Please tell me I am not being ripped off, especially for the GTX 750.
They didn't have a Corsair CX430, but I am sure I will be able to find it in the surrounding shops.

chimera201 · Nov 8, 2014

flipkart seems to be a better deal. Doesn't flipkart deliver to your location?

Pranav1999 · Nov 9, 2014

All the parts that have been mentioned are available for my location. That too with cash on delivery available! Yeah, you're right, online shopping is a better deal.
But who selected the best solution?! Sure as hell wasn't me! I would've selected something else.

Mousemonkey · Nov 9, 2014

"Pranav1999 selected this answer as the solution 8 November 2014 15:38:09"

It seems as though it was you who selected the BA.

Pranav1999 · Nov 9, 2014

Alan Caldwell :

Uhm... dude! I thank you for your help and cooperation. But u seem to have made a mistake. The site for the GTX 750 shows the lowest price to be 7,499. But it's actually more than that. The lowest price is from the American Amazon site. So, the price has been converted to INR without shipping and import fees added. The cheapest available on that site is 9,330.

Pranav1999 · Nov 9, 2014

Mousemonkey :

But I-I never! In fact I logged in after that answer was posted. It was already selected.

Mousemonkey · Nov 9, 2014

The system is showing that the BA has only been selected once and that once was by your account, the timestamp may be incorrect for your time region though so ignore that.

Pranav1999 · Nov 9, 2014

Snapdeal is selling the GTX 750 1GB GDDR5 for the cheapest! INR 8,618 (after discount).
http://www.snapdeal.com/product/zotac-geforce-gtx-7501gb-ddr5/920567048

This'll be my first time shopping online. The only thing I ever bought online before was a book. Kindly assure me that I will get this card at the price shown by the site.

chimera201 · Nov 9, 2014

Yeah, my post was a question not a solution

Don't worry I'll unselect it. Select the BA again.

Pranav1999 · Nov 9, 2014

Mousemonkey :

Although, this is not the first time something like this has happened and neither was I the one who selected this answer. I don't really care as long as my questions are answered and I am helped. I thank all of you for helping me.
