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.
 
and for Monitor Dell St2220L is way to Go! Tht card can Handle 1080p with Playable frames(30fps+) or u can lower resolution for Better Playability!

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!

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

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.

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.
