Want to build a Gaming PC

abhi270787 · Feb 8, 2016

Hi,
I'm from India.
I want to build a gaming PC which I can play dissent amount of games.
I want my motherboard either from Intel or Gigabyte and which has LGA 1155 socket as currently I'm running Intel Core i7-3770(Non 'k' series) processor and don't want to loose it.Graphic Card from AMD not from NVIDIA as I have miserable experience from past.
My budget may be around 500$ to 520$.
Please help me with detail description as I don't know much about it.

Please Help.

The build below would be a fairly decent 1080p gaming system. I left a little room in the budget because you probably won't get comparable prices. If you could link to where you will be buying from, we might be able to do a bit better.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Here in India the only Online buying sites are Amazon.in,Snapdeal and Flipkart.in.
On which most of the products are available.
I'm very much satisfied with your answer but was asking if you could suggest better motherboard(in ATX range) and less expensive graphic card but form AMD.I would be very much obliged.

Switched to the R7 360, but 370 would also be good if you can afford it.

if you want a gaming PC then stick with the first answer and go for r9 380, graphics card is in most cases the limit factor of PC performance and difference between R7 370 and R9 380 is pretty big: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-r9-390x-r9-380-r7-370,4178-6.html

Just going through google found GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD7-B3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX,
GA-P67A-UD4-B3 and Z68 motherbords.
Won't this work.
Please don't get annoyed because if investing than why not go for better one as we don't buy PC everyday.
So,pease reply.
Any more suggestion about crossfire and all.

They will all work if you're able to get them and they fit your budget, but I don't understand. You want a cheaper video card, but a more expensive motherboard. The motherboard is not going to give you more performance. Your not going to overclock your processor, and if the the cheaper boards have all the features you need, why pay more?

I was looking for ATX board with multiple PCIe slots so that in future can go for SLI or crossfire.
So whether those mobos support 3rd gen processors.?
