need help for choosing best budget gaming pc build
my gaming pc build is as follows:
cpu: amd fx 8350 + mobo: gigabyte 990fxa-ud3=Rs.21700 =$359.03
ram:kingston hyperx 1x8gb 1866MHz=Rs.5200 = $86.04
PSU: corsair vs650 650watt= Rs. 3658= $60.52
HDD: 1tb WD cavier blue= Rs. 3420= $56.59
GPU= R9 270x or R9 280x
ireally want to buy r9 280x but it is really not in my budget..is there any component i should change (like another cpu or mobo) so that to fit it in my budget. i want to play watch dogs BF4 and other upcoming games like assassins creed unity FC4 etc on ultra setting..plz give me some suggestions on my component list
i would also like to know some budget gaming cases around Rs.2000 to Rs3000(less than $50)
i have chosen circle cabinate: Circle Gaming Series PC Cabinet CC-821

that PSU would work but get a better one like Seasonic 620W S12II-620 or an antec neo eco or corsair gs600.......
use two sticks of ram (4gb*2)
for CPU cooler cooler master hyper T4 or 212evo/x would do....
but if you manage to get a good case then

AND
http://www.flipkart.com/deepcool-frostwin/p/itmd9hkamfq...
could be great..........
i own a frostwin
FOR CABINET:
try for NZXT elite Source210...its a great case but is really hard to find!
if not these should work too:
Antec V1 (http://theitwares.com/computer-hardware/cabinets/antec-...)
Cooler Master K380 (http://theitwares.com/computer-hardware/cabinets/cooler...)
the bitfenix merch alfa is a good one too (http://www.snapdeal.com/product/bitfenix-merc-alpha-usb...)
i didn't like any local made case for a Gaming chassis....they just didn't feel right....

okay you dont need this fx8350 is very hot and you will need to spend more money about cooler go with fx6300 wwith good cooler its better deal and the GPU you need is sapphire 270x dual x cu'z the 280x is more powerful which is= more money about PSU. And for ram go with 2x4=8 which is better then 1x8

Uday chacha...if u want it exclusively for gaming then u shud go with an Intel CPU as it is really stronger than fx8320/8320 in "Gaming"...
And an i5 processor with a gud motherboard costs less than the 8350+990fx combo...
Wait a while...I'll look arnd for a combo for both Intel and amd....circle cabinets are good...I used a cc820 in one of my build....
The question is are you going to overclock your CPU, RAM and GPU????

Okay, here's the deal.

You don't need the 990fx motherboard. I personally would only get that if you were looking at intensive crossfire or higher end memory. I suggest this one.

http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Computer-Motherboard-Motherbo...

Also, the REAL difference between the FX-8350 and the FX-8320 isn't enough to constitute the extra cost.
Get the FX-8320

http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD8320FRHKBOX-FX-8320-FX-Seri...

And just get 2x 4GB (8GB) 1333mhz memory, unless your doing editing or server hosting.

What's your total budget??
I have pretty much similar configuration
Amd FX-8350(₹13000) with CM hyper 212 evo cooler(₹2000) (trust me u need an aftermarket cooler as the CPU temps crosses 70-80deg on stock cooler.
Mobo - gigabyte GA 990xa-UD3(₹9900)
Ram-corsair vengeance 8gb ddr3 ram.(₹5500)
Gpu- R9 280x V2 ASUS (₹26000)
Psu- corsair cx-600
SSD - Samsung evo 128gb ssd (₹5500) -( not needed if u wanna save money .)
HDD- WD caviar green 500gb hdd( old one but still works great :p )
I have a doubt on WD blue for games.

For cabinet I would recommend cooler master 431 plus(₹3000-4000)

I can play almost any games at ultra settings including watch dogs and BF4

U could consider buying AMD fx-8320 or 8150 to save money. Instead of 8350.
The performance difference won't matter much!!
And also on the mobo. As there are more mobo for a cheaper rate with AM 3+ compatibility !!
Hope this helps!!

Power supply is weak get a SEASONIC.

Get memory modules in matching pairs so it runs faster in Dual Channel mode.
