what do you have? do you have any sort of case, monitor etc?

SBMfromLA · May 19, 2015

The first question is... do you currently have a computer? If so, the easiest and cheapest method would be to just add a good mid-level Graphics Card to your system. That is the most important component when it comes to gaming.

Dell sells the alienware slim towers with an i3/4gb/500gb hard drive/ and GT860m for under $400 USD.

kawininjazx :

But how much are they in India?

hrgamer · May 19, 2015

06yfz450ridr :

yes i have old pc but its way too old
from that i only use cabinet ,its mobo dosnt have amd3+ port and i want fx 6300

hrgamer · May 19, 2015

SBMfromLA :

well i think i would like to go with amd based system cause its cheaper here than intel based processor.....!
like fx 6300 is of 7440 rupees and i5 is of 9000 rupees

SBMfromLA · May 19, 2015

Another question... Do you want to build it yourself or would you be happy with a pre-built system?

Another inexpensive/quick alternative would be to buy a used computer system... from some place like Craigslist and then updating that with a new Graphics Card.

and moniter is dead (i have something else for monitor , so for now m focusing for cpu

hrgamer · May 19, 2015

SBMfromLA :

i would like to build it myself , cause prebuilt pc will cost most with less configration

Maybe you should buy a playstation, you won't be playing many games on your budget.

hrgamer · May 19, 2015

kawininjazx :

well, where do you live..??

SBMfromLA · May 19, 2015

kawininjazx :

That comment was uncalled for... Besides, 35K Rupees is about $550... that's good enough for a solid mid-range computer... You could build a good computer for as little as $300.

SBMfromLA :

no , its casual question ....!! you will be shocked when you will hear price of ps4 in my country....!!!

Mother board : Asus H81M-v3
Cpu: Intel g3258
Ram 4gigabyte
Psu: Seasonic 520w
Vga card : Zotac or asus gtx 750 non ti
Case: Any cheap one
The motherboard comes with two heat sinks it handles overclocking very well also it is cheap in your place for the power supply seasonic 520w watt is more than enough and it is also has golden award from hardware secerts the hard drive u can use any sata hard drove this motherboard comes with 2 sata3 6gb/sec and 2sata2 3gb/sec

Bigwood daddy :

I think for mobo I m going with fx 6300 ,is it good and for gpu sapphire AMD/ATI R7 265 2 GB ddr5 , is it good for future games

Bigwood daddy · May 21, 2015

hrgamer :

nice, but fx6300 is kind of out of date , and Intel uses 22nm which is newer manufacture process than amd which uses 32nm . Intel processor also supports Intel extreme memory profile which increase memory speed and it helps in improving the integrated graphics and overall performance increase with Intel smart response and rapid storage when an ssd drive is installed. I would also go with gtx750 ti if you are concerned about the noise and heat as well as efficiency of the system and since many games are now customized for nvidia (the way it meant be played project) there is a high probability that nvidia out perform the amd in those games which in case of batman and others.

i have searched and watched all the vedios of best gaming cpu in inida , they say fx 6300 is best and r7 265 is way better for this budget

If you're buying a FX-6300, don't skimp on the motherboard, make sure it has 4+1 phase power and heatsinks on the VRMs, this is especially important if you plan on overclocking.

hrgamer · May 22, 2015

Creme :

then is asus M5A78L-M/USB 3 is good

Creme · May 22, 2015

hrgamer :

That one does not have heatsinks on the VRMs. For micro-atx the best one is the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3.

Absolutely. I have a worse AsRock motherboard with 3+1 phase power (I added heatsinks) and I use an overclocked 7850 (same as R7 265) with that.

Can you stretch your budget a bit to Rs 43000? If so, this build should be able to average 50-60 FPS on most current and next-gen games on high - very high settings at 1080p:

CPU: i3 4150 : Rs 8085
GPU: GTX 960 : Rs 16485
RAM: 1x8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 : Rs 4645
Motherboard: Asus H97M-E : Rs 7540
PSU: Seasonic S12II 430w (80+ Bronze): Rs 2530
Case: Antec VSK 4000B U3: Rs 3950

Total: Rs 43,235 (Please note you will have to buy windows 8.1 / 7 64-bit separately)

If you shop around amazon.in and flipkart you may be able to find better deals, but try to stick to the exact components I have listed for optimum performance.

Windows 8.1 64-bit is Rs 6020, so the total with windows 8.1 64-bit is Rs 49,255.

This assumes you can reuse the Hard Drive from your current PC in the new PC. If your Hard Drive isn't SATA, then you will need a new Hard Drive as well.

The i3 is a solid choice (except for video), but I feel the R9 280X is better value, especially with more VRAM. That's if he wants to go that far.
