Was about to build a rig last year but got cancelled due to some bad luck..
:thanks!: to everyone for the suggestions on my post last year.
Want to build a rig now FINALLY. My budget is 35k max..
Wondering if I should wait for ivy bridge but think they may be too expensive..
Well, here goes..
le template..
Q: What is your budget?
30k to 35k max
Q: What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model)
n\a
Q: Which hardware will you be keeping (component name - component brand and model)
n\a
Q: Which hardware component are you looking to buy (component name). If you have already decided on a configuration then please mention the (component brand and model) as well, this will help us in fine tuning your requirement.
Any VFM components within price range. Would like a 22-23 “ monitor (DVI is fine..i suppose) and prefer a 1600MHz RAM.
Q: Is this going to be your final configuration or you would be adding/upgrading a component in near future. If yes then please mention when and which component
Final, for atleast 2-3 years..
Q: Where will you buy this hardware? (Online/City/TE Dealer)
Lamington Road, Mumbai
Q: Would you consider buying a second hand hardware from the TE market
Not sure
Q: What is your intended use for this PC/hardware
Gaming(Full HD preferable), Full HD movies, some programming and web applications like Trader Terminal. May need to install virtual OS for projects etc..
Q: Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them and the reason for your preference/dislike.
Slightly prefer Intel since it worked flawlessly for me all these years. Although all suggestions are welcome..
Q: If you will be playing games then which type of games will you be playing?
Racing, FPS, Assasins creed, GTA etc.
Q: What is your preferred monitor resolution for gaming and normal usage
Full HD
Q: Are you looking to overclock?
Maybe in few months.
Q: Which operating system do you intend to use with this configuration?
Your budget is less for full fledge config, I’d suggest it to increase it, how, see below.
AMD phenom II 1055T ~ 8000
Asus M5A97 ~ 6200
Corsair Valu select 1333MHz ~ 1200
Sapphire HD6870 ~ 11400
WD Caviar blue 250GB ~ 3800
Asus 24x Sata black DVD ~ 1100
Seasonic SII 520w ~ 3800
NZXT Source elite ~ 2300
BenQ G2222HDL ~ 7600
Logiteck MK200 ~ 700
Total = 44,000.
With this config you can do all your tasks along with 1080p gaming, otherwise you will have to compromise on graphics card. You can go for either 7750/7770 and save a more on PSU.
And an Intel config would seriously overshoot your budget!
No competition here,just sharing the right rig that op needs,it’s good to know rates have come down,recently gamma was up @ 2500/-[quote=“JuGGa, post:5, topic:201367”]
#[member=‘Jakob’] I hope you’re not trying to do competition with me
btw where is G222HDL available for 6900/-, gamma for 2100/- PSU for 3600/- ?

Well we can’t include shipping charges as op is gonna get the items straight from lamington road as i’ve given theitwares links which is @lamington.So there will be no shipping charges maybe i made a typo in dhruvs config as well,hope this clears things.
"Epic win" moment when two members have a little tussle so I can get the best recommendation. 
Thought it out a bit and came up with this from your inputs.
If I choose an i3 2100-6200/- , it reduces the overall cost marginally..
Was wondering…
Maybe a lower AMD black edition with a GPU around 7-8k (preferably unlockable 1 ) should balance the cost…
I dont think it should hurt too much to play games on 720 p resolution…
Also, The HDDs that you both have suggested… are they 3gbps sata or 6gbps sata?
and whats the cost difference between 1333 MHz and 1600 MHz RAM??
Black edition CPUs are just 500 bucks cheaper than phenom II 1055T, that’s why I suggested later. You can go for a 7750, it will manage 720p but with no/less eye candies. 1333MHz will cost 300-400 bucks cheaper, and performance difference is not much, so if you have got the money to throw, you can go for it, or save it. HDDs should be 6GBps.
wouldn’t it be a little more wiser to what Ivy from Intel and watch what Nvidia has to offer though AMD is already out with its offering, as OP has stated no final upgrades for the next 2-3 years atleast?
Go for the i3 2100 it’ll give you better performance and lower power consumption than amds X4,the Segate 500gb-4k hdd is sata 6gbps thats what you should get.

The i3 does seem to be a good option but I wonder if it’s gonna be future-proof considering the fact that it is a 2-core processor..
Also, Is there any way to overclock the i3 2100?
Considering abracadabra’s suggestion… Is there a possibility of a dip in price of the sandy bridge processors once the ivy bridge ones are launched?? (apr 8th i think)
Regarding GPU
Mostly the 7750 seems good. Incase I can slightly raise the budget further, may go for 7790. Although Kindly suggest which brand is better… I have no clue regarding that..
this is the best you can buy in your budget,don’t go intel in your budget,it will just be a waste.the i3 2100’s performance gap can be closed with about 400 MHz oc easily possible with the stock cooler.also in the mobos price range you will get only h61 chipset which doesnt have sata 6gb/s.so this is the most cost effective solution.you can compromise on the gpu as you like.
Also, are SSDs faster than Hard disks??
