Hi Soul2018,

I would like to add a word to help in build of PC. Here are some options for you.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor.
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard.
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory.
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X 3GB WINDFORCE Video Card.
Case: Corsair 500R Black ATX Mid Tower Case.

I believe these components are best for gaming based on your budget. In build, MOBO is the support of CrossFire technology that means in the future you can add-on a second GPU card for performance, instead of buying a new MOBO or replacing a totally new GPU. The MSI Z87-G45 is better in terms of performance, mostly used for gaming and stability in pixels and with that you can enjoy better graphics.


Hope it helps.

Hi DK_WD,

Thanks for the help!

But the config maybe out of my budget. As far as possible I have tried to get the price from online shopping sites. Here they are :-

CPU Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor. - 14500
Motherboard MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard. - 8750 (Could not find G45. Here is the price for MSI Z87-G43. I guess the G45 would be more than this)
Memory Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory. - 6000
GPU Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X 3GB WINDFORCE Video Card. - 20896 (Could not find the Gigabyte one. This is the price for the Saphire one)
Case Corsair 500R Black ATX Mid Tower Case. - 9372

As I would also need a PSU

PSU Seasonic S12II 620 Watts PSU - 6050

The total comes to above 65k. :(
