Hello Friends. I am from India and I am looking to build a gaming pc in under 40K-45K Rs. (TOWER ONLY). Please tell me following -:

1. Best tower configuration possible in the budget.
2. Which Processor is better intel or amd?
3. GPU - ATI or Nvidia or any other?
4. Ram should be single or double (for ex. 1x8gb or 2x4gb)?
5. Best cooling option for same.
6. UPS also.

Please keep in mind that i will be using it for hardcore gaming as well as for AutoCAD & 3DsMax. Also, please don't pay attention if i sound a bit silly. I am not much into it except playing games.

that was a typo, sd should have read as SSD (solid state drive otherwise called boot drive)

since you mentioned 45 k max, I am going back one generation of intel architecture, which is LGA 1150, you don't lose much except the price premium; you will note that I have also scaled back the gpu to an earlier generation, again, a very viable choice; here you go:

13,000 CPU: I5 4430 - Haswell processor
05,000 Mob: B85 LGA 1150 from Gigabyte/Asrock/Asus
05,000 RAM: 1600 MHz C9 DDR3 4 GB X 2 = 8 GB from Corsair (valueselect)/Gskill (Ripjaws)
05,000 SSD: Crucial BX 100 250 GB boot drive
10,000 GPU: Nvidia GTX 750 TI from Asus/Gigabyte
04,000 Case: mid-tower ATX from Cooler Master (N series)/Corsair (spec series)
03,000 PSU: 80+ bronze...

1. Sorry, but I don't know alot of indian shopping sites, so this will be no good. one advice I will give you is to spend more of the budget on the GPU and not the CPU.
2. at the moment, intel. AMD is just not competitive.
3. ATI = AMD, btw. it doesn't really matter. both are very competitive. I prefer nvidia for their driver and game support, but AMD has it's advantages as well.
4. if you get a motherboard with 4 RAM slots, 2x4 is better, as you get more memory bandwidth, while sill being able to go to 16gb if you want.
5. at this price point, the stock intel cooler is enough because you aren't going to do any OCing, as Intel patched the OC on non K CPU's.
6. unless you are doing some hardcore and important work on this computer, a UPS isn't really needed, and with the money saved on not buying a UPS, you could get a better PC.

Hope this helped.

Intel CPUs are generally better.
In your budget, I suggest an ATI gpu, better price to Performance.
Just use stock coolers.
Tower confit really does not matter much
Ram does not matter, only it's easier to upgrade if single.
You don't really need a UPS for a gaming rig.

thanks to you all guys for all of ur answers and help. I am getting the way how i should go for building my tower acc to my budget.
@ half life
i can consider some of your choice but dude i gotta really strictly stick to my budget of not crossing 45,000 INR.

@ david
bro, "spend more on GPU than CPU"; here u mean processor or something else by CPU?

just curious, by the terms u mean this exactly...
cpu - processor
Mob - motherboard
Sd = ?
GPU - Graphic card

Notes
~ prices are approximate; I suggest you shop in stores rather than online due to genuineness, returns and warranty
~ consider buying genuine OS, not included in the price
~ consider buying a ups, not included in the price

so, every couple of years, intel adds more features to south bridge and upgrades the chipset to accommodate the requirements of these changes. they call it tick-tock, but it is essentially a marketing trick between intel and its partner vendors like asus, gigabyte, etc. haswell was released early 2014, and late last year, it released skylake; you can read more about these below

lga 1150
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1150

haswell architecture
"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haswell_(microarchitecture)"

lga 1151
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1151

skylake architecture
"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylake_(microarchitecture)"


the latest of which is skylake, that includes all of haswell, and adds notably a) more lanes for pcie 3 for add-on cards, b) brings in usb 3.1, which is the latest iteration, c) ddr4 instead of ddr3


by buying "lga 1151", you are assured of currency of your build for the next two years or so there by deferring the obsoleting your configuration by about a year and half or so; but since your budget is strict, we are buying what is about a year and a half old; performance wise very little (under 10%) loss, according to some sites;

all this is irrelevant, what is important is whether you are getting a value for your money, and you are, with haswell!! it will probably stay with you for 5 - 8 years or until you are bored and upgrade yourself;
