Let me know of your thoughts

The video card you picked is very low-end and so is the power supply and motherboard. You especially need to do something about the low-end PSU.

so, your budget is one lakh or one and a half lakh; be clear

@Half Life: It's both. The 1.5 lakh is for me. This is for my friend.

@scuzzycard: Can you suggest alternatives for the PSU and motherboard? The gfx card is the best one I can get for my budget. All the better ones are much more expensive.

PSU: SeaSonic G 550W 80+ Gold
Motherboard: ASUS B150M-A D3
Video Card: MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G

Also, consider an i3 6100 instead of i5 if budget is a concern. You will get better performance in your games from the i3+960 than the i5+750TI.

scuzzycard :

Thanks. I will consider this.
I have replaced the PSU.
