AMD 965 BE @ 8850

Ram 4 GB @ 5600

HX550 @ 4500

NZXT gamma @ 2100

HD 5770 @ 9800

MSI 790GX-G65 @ 6800 ( you can probably look at a few more options)

HDD 1 TB @ 3350

Total 41,000

you can probably save a bit by getting kingston or transend memory probably 200 to 300 ... but that is probably what you are looking at.
 
well my friend bought this rig yesterday .

its very nice and competent .

cpu + mobo = i5 750 + gigabyte h55 mobo @16000

gpu = 5770 hd msi hawk @ 9600

case = cooler master elite 335 @2000

ram = 2x2 kingston 1333mhz 5400

psu = amigo 500w(80+) @ 2000

hdd = 1tb wd@ 3300

hp dvdrw @ 1200

mouse + keboard logitech usb @ 700

total ~= 41.5k

nice and solid build .

you can also go for x6 1055t and compatible 890 board.

also you can go for x4 965be plus a board save money for a 5850 hd .

if u are a gamer then third one is awesome else go for the first one .

Components Description Price (INR)

Processor AMD Phenom II X4 945(3Ghz, 4 cores, 6MB L3 Cache) 6900

Motherboard Gigabyte GA-785GMT-USB3 5600

RAM 4(2*2GB) 1333MHz Kingston DDRIII RAM 5200

HDD 1 TB Seagate 7200.12 3350

GPU Sapphire HD5770 1GB GDDR5/ MSI Hawk HD5770 1GB GDDR5 9500

Cabinet NZXT Gamma 2100

PSU/SMPS Corsair VX450 3800

Speakers Logitech X 540 ~6000

Total 42550

The Speakers takes the cost a bit above the budget. Save a few bucks by going for X4 945(Best VFM) or 955BE. You can squeeze in the HD5850 if you are willing to compromise on the speakers.
 
^ yaa...currently iam having some stupid 2.0 speakers...so decided to go to 5.1 logitech...and how much can i get for old parts?? and cost of 2tb harddisk????
 
-Murali- said:
^k......so to what extent i can spend so that it would last for 2 years without any upgrade??

Well the HD5770 is OKish for Full HD gaming. For 1 year or so u can play most games in Full HD with most settings at med-high. Then after then you would have to play at lower resolution and/or lowered details for another year.
 
ok....sad news for me as there is change in budget....i got 10k now and i'l get 40k this december.....:(

So guyz please recommend me which is the best part i should upgrade now.....

Motherboard

Processor

Graphic card

Speakers

SMPS with case...

I'l be buying that on this wednesday so please help me out.....remaining components would be brought this december or january.....
 
Considering your PSU is Zebronics, I would say go for some Nvidia card without power connectors, such as 9600GT or 9400GT.

Save the rest of the money up so that you can get a better config in that budget.
