Hi All,

I am about to make 10 Gaming cafe systems with a tight budget of 35k.
So the below config is what I fetch out :

AMD fx4100 with Asrock/Gigabyte Mobo and 4gb value ram ~ 10k
NZXT Gamma ~ 2.5k
GTX550ti ~ 7.5k
CX430 PSU ~ 2.9k
Logitech G400 ~ 1.7k
Logitech normal keyboard ~ .3k
LCD AOC/Dell/LG/Philips 22" ~ 8k

Total ~ 33k

Please share your views

PS : Plz dont give me MSI gpu pricing as it is not available in Pune and pricing of other components in Pune are bit on higher side due to 5% octroi.

Yeah a better RIG overall, just that instead of 4GB x1 RAM module, @havoknation it will be better if you put in 2GB x2 RAM modules [dual-channel advantage]. Processor can be further down-rated to the Intel G620 and still the RIG will be good and valid for the next ~2 years [add a cheap-cheap Sandy-Bridge quad-core at the end of life-cycle to give these a new boost of life].

And for the mice, you can go for the LOGITECH G100 ~1000/- [street prices].

Hope this helps, Cheerio!

The intel i3 2120 performs better than AMD FX4100 in gaming also the Intel rig is withing your budget.The Sapphire HD7770 will give you mid-gaming performance while playing in Full HD resolution so no need to worry go for the intel rig.Hope this clears,Cheers.

Yes I have seen, i5 2120 is low power consumption cpu and better in performance. I am getting it with D61 board and 4gb ram @ 11k

Good choice, but the H61 chipset will lack new connectors like USB 3.0.

Another thing I would recommend is that for RAM modules go for dual-channel 1600MHz kits as far as possible. This pays rich dividends in performance vis-á-vis single channel RAM module rated at 1333MHz.

Hope this helps, Cheerio!

What is the point in having a USB 3.0 port in a gaming cafe :confused1:

Also its better to opt for a H61 mobo with all solid caps since it will on for a long time than a regular home PC.

I would suggest the Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H ~ 3.25k for the config. Rest of it looks fine. The i3-21xx+HD7770+CX430V2 is a very good combo for a gaming cafe PC.
