Hardware & Gaming PC Builds, Modding & Overclocking

Hello guys!!

I’m planning to buy a PC/Lap. I’m not a computer freak. I would appreciate if anyone can help me in configuring my new PC/lap.

I’m an average gamer. Will be using application like MS_Office, Photoshop, Coreldraw, few multimedia apps.

Pls suggest a PC which can support games like GTA , NFS, FIFA, Cricket, Virtual Tennis (latest and forthcoming games)etc.Suggest me a good monitor and GPU as well.

My budget is max 30k.

And, is this the right time to buy a new PC or should I wait for some time like a month or so.

Thanks in advance:)

how abt a 18.5" monitor for gaming. is it enough?? considering which resolutions the games are better to run at? I wont be upgrading my PC for 4 years from now. So are the above suggested configs ok for such long period. Thanks to everyone who replied

^^the altec lansing is a good speaker set

get BenQ G2220HD @ 8k if u want a better bigger monitor..

And try to fit in the DDR3 config as it’s future proof..
