Budget 31-40k Need help to build PC

Disciple
Hi all,

Basically Iam looking for a pc which will let me play games like GTA IV & be ready for GTA V (too much of an ask with 40K, is it?).
I do play games likes sniper elite v2, mafia 2 & assassins creed 2. I already have a studio laptop in which Ive tried playing all of these but only ended up getting fantastic fps ranging 10 to 20 :(

Btw, I hope to use the pc as a stand alone computer which helps me in daily coding practice & gaming on weekends (so atleast 1TB internal hard disk)

Q: What is your budget?
40K

Q: What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model)
None

Q: Which hardware will you be keeping (component name - component brand and model)
None

Q: Which hardware component are you looking to buy (component name). If you have already decided on a configuration then please mention the (component brand and model) as well, this will help us in fine tuning your requirement.
Leave it all to your expert advise. (Btw, I keep reading in forums that ASUS allows one button click overclocking)

Q: Is this going to be your final configuration or you would be adding/upgrading a component in near future. If yes then please mention when and which component
No

Q: Where will you buy this hardware? (Online/City/TE Dealer)
Hyderabad/ Chennai
Open to online purchase

Q: Would you consider buying a second hand hardware from the TE market
Yes

Q: What is your intended use for this PC/hardware
Practice office work on weekdays
Gaming on weekends

Q: Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them and the reason for your preference/dislike.
None

Q: If you will be playing games then which type of games will you be playing?
GTA 4, Mafia 2, assassins creed revelations

Q: What is your preferred monitor resolution for gaming and normal usage
Gaming - 1280x728
Desktop - 1440x900

Q: Are you looking to overclock?
Yes

Q: Which operating system do you intend to use with this configuration?
No preference

In toto, build is left to your expert opinion.
Just few suggestions from my side:
1) If possible I would like to delay buying the graphics card till Jan (gaming eating into my study);
2) I need atleast 1TB hard disk;
3) Need info on everything (case, wiring) that are needed to complete the PC (saw few just mentioning overall specs).

Tks all for the trouble,
SK

Hi @articles2004, welcome to TE and hope you have a pleasant stay.

About your query off 'capable of playing GTA V', it is a bit far-fetched with the current scenario, also as gaming seems to be eating time from studies I think you should focus on that and save up till January, after that buy a better RIG OR you can spread your purchases over time and buy in this order --

Cabinet + SMPS (purchase now)
hard-drive and / OR SSD + UPS (near future)
processor + motherboard + RAM ~ (January -->March time frame and depending on your available options)
graphics card + miscellaneous devices ~ (last)

Hope this helps, Cheerio!
