^^ do you really think all these possible under 30k ?

CPU - Intel Pentium G2020 @3.6k
Motherboard - Asus P8H61-M LX3 @ 3.3k
PSU - Antec VP450 / Seasonic 400 Eco @ 2.7k
Cabinet - CM Elite 330 @ 2.2k
Ram - 4GB Kingston HyperX Blu @2.4k
Monitor - 24 incher - AOC e2462Vwh @ 12k
Hard Disk - 1TB - WD Blue @4.2k

this is all you can get .. if possible get a 500GB HDD and opt for a B75 motherboard as it will be easier to upgrade the cpu later. For gaming you also need to get a GPU for at-least around ~5.5k.

Kingston HyperX Blu 1600 MHz 4 GB (2500)
WD Blue 1 TB (4100)
Corsair CX430v2 (2700)
local cabinet (1000)
Dell S2240L (9000)
Logitech MK200 (800)

total: 32100

Excellent Advice but i would suggest you may rethink for Power Supply since report of CORSAIR CX430v2 is not good in market.

6

Are issues being reported even now?

7

how’s seasonic eco 400 instead of corsair cx430v2 ?

8

What about A.S.S.?

Have installed this one in 2 builds I recently builded for the folks with budget of around 25-30K, till now running solid. I had purchased them for around 2550 from eBay & seller being is overclockerszone. Shipped from Kolkata to Mumbai in flat 1.5 days.

Looks like we’ve got another budget PSU star :slight_smile:

so I was right about recommending Eco 400 intead of cx430v2. Corsair really should fix this but they are doing something similar with RM series as well which is supposed to replace good old TX series.
