mysticsasuke Stop creating multiple thread with different ID's cause you'll banned for that,I think you'd get a new processor otherwise your current proccy will bottleneck with the current gen GPU and games.Also you won't be able to get overclocking rig within your budget.
Intel i3 3220-7k OR Intel G645-3.4k
Gigabyte B75M D3H-4.5k
Gskill Ripjaws 2X2GB 1600mhz-1.7k
Seagate Barracuda 500Gb 7200rpm-3.5k
Corsair CX430V2-2.4k
Sapphire HD7750-7k OR Sapphire HD7770-9k
Hope this helps.:)
 
 
Sorry about the multiple posting. A friend of mine couldnt find the thread and hence i thought i had uploaded my request incorrectly. Sorry to cause inconvenience. :ashamed: .
Could u tell me of other ways to bring it into my budget? Like how about instead of the gpus u mentioned above?
I have kind of shortlisted these components, please comment about them -
1) Intel i3 3220-7k
2) Corsair Vengeance 4 Gb/ Value RAM 4 GB - 1337/1114
3) Corsair 430CXV2UK - 2703
4) Seagate Barracuda 1TB/500 GB internal HDD - 3.6/4.6

Please let me know about Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB DDR3 Graphics Card for Rs.5040 . How is that? and suggest other motherboards too.

Again im sorry i posted it twice. :(:( .
And @Jakob :hail: . you are just awesome

Flipkart says that the i3 processor will be coming soon.
@satyanjoy , is it better to buy on flipkart or on SP road?

The sapphire HD6670 would give you mid setting gaming experience,Stick to that or add few bucks and get Sapphire HD7750-7.4k,Go with Corsair Value Ram instead of Vengeance.
If you're really on a tight budget then go with this combo-
Intel G645-3.5k OR Intel i3 2120-6k+Gigabyte H61M D2H-3.2k

Final Config :
Core i3 3220/2120
Gigabyte B75
Corsair 430W PSU
Corsair Vengeance 4 GB / Value RAM 4 GB
Seagate Barracuda 500 GB/ 1 TB
PSU - undecided. Radeon HD 7750 requires a 450 W supply. But im buying 430 W PSU. what should i do? Or suggest alternates. Cheaper ones if possible.
Thank you
