Thanks for the Reply.
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 has no VGA graphics. So in case if the Graphics Card gets dead, then he can't work on his PC that's why I was looking in the Gigabyte Boards. It provides variety of options to choose any board in 970 Chipset.

Regarding your question of UPS. he is using APC 600VA. I feel no need to buy new UPS here. As he has very tight budget.

Also no need of keyboard Mouse. Since he already has is already using that Keyboard/Mouse. Instead we can have option to buy Speakers. Also RAM you mentioned is very low since he works on the VPCs, it requires more RAM so that's why he decided to buy low end Graphics Card. I know reducing in Graphics Card could impact on the game, but he is OK with it.

Remaining Config is Fine.

Can you please revise it as per his above story?

Thanks in advance

> 600 VA UPS is not enough for this config. APC RS600 UPS is rated at 600 VA which is equal to 360 W which is lower than the rig's power consunption. So, you'll either have to buuy a new UPS or do not use any UPS. DO NOT use that 600 VA UPS as you may experience sudden shut-downs due to lack of power.

> AM3(+) socket boards with IGP aren't very good boards.

> Revised config:

FX 6300 (7500)
Asus M5A97 R2.0 (7200)
Kingston hyperX Blu 1600 MHz 4 GB x2 (4600)
WD Blue 500 GB (3200)
Zotac GTX650ti Boost (12600)
Seasonic S12II 520 W (4200)
NZXT Gamma (2500)
Dell S2240L (9000)

OK Thanks..

He is going to buy APC - 700 VA Afterwards because it costs 5500 extra. So now we will add only 1200-1500 for 2.1 Speakers and that will cost us 53000.

One Quick Question:
Instead of Dell S2240L, can we buy Dell IN2030? Because his computer case may not support 22 Inch LED so. It would be better if we buy 20 Inch LED instead of 22 Inch.

I know that your above mentioned LED supports Full HD. But its ok for him to have normal LED. Here we can save 2k and that we can use it for speakers. and will cost us around 50k.

Please reply on this.

Thanks!

> APC 700 VA is not available in India AFAIK. Only 600 VA and 1.1 kVA are available.

> I wou;d recommend getting a Full HD screen but if it's not necessary, Dell IN2030 is a very good monitor too.
