If you ask me this is the best config for gaming for you. Just change the case from CM Elite 310 to NZXT Gamma.

@Anubis: Friend he wanted an i5 suggestion i gave one i don't know anything about Amd so i told him to ask others........ And i already told him it's out of his budget i think you kind of misunderstood or you just have an habit to point at others:p

i5 rig is very well within his budget if he sacrifices with 2GB DDR3 Ram

Cpu - Intel core i5-750 (2.66Ghz) - 9.9k
Mobo - GA-P55M-UD2 - 6.2k
Ram - Transcend 2gb 1333mhz ddr3 - 2.6k
HDD - Seagate 250gb / Seagate 500gb - 2.3k
Graphics card - ATI HD 4850 512mb - 6.3k
Cabinet - Cooler Master Elite 310 - 1.5k
SMPS - Gigabyte 460w - 2.2k

Total - 30.5k / 31k

30.5k is very well within budget

@salman8506 - I think there is a communication gap between us somewhere ? Please don't think otherwise

Still i'll recommend the Phenom II x3 720 or Phenom II x4 925
 
@all.. :handsdown:

hats off to you all, thanks for making that all fit in my budget and make me understand the usage.

I am planning to go with Athlon II X4 620 and instead of spending money on i5 or Phenom X4 925, I would invest that in a better GPU, what say?

exactly what i have done
 
Ok, I went to the local PC market near my place (its like a mini-Nehru Place of Delhi) to know the prices. Below are the quotes which I received.
Proccy + Mobo kit
X4 620 + MSI 785G-E53 @ 10300 (none of them had Gigabytes 785GMT)
Few of them even suggested me to go with Phenom II X4 945 (as per them it was better than even the i7 :l), which would cost around 13200 along the same mobo.

RAM
Transcend/Kingston @ 2650 for 2GB DDR3...
I was given weird stares upon asking for quotes of Corsair and G-Skill. Few of them who had heard of Corsair though told that they can get it but no assurance of A.S.S in Delhi. :(

HDD
WD 500GB @ 2250

GPU
HD4850 1GB - 7800 (512MB wasn't available) most of them even suggested to go with NVidia GTX series..

Cabinet + SMPS
None of them had heard about NZXT, let alone Gamma :l
The quote I got was for the combined kit of Cooler Master Elite 310 + 460W SMPS @ 4500

DVD writer @ 1050

Now, I have decided to give some more time, search further this week and get the machine by next weekend and during this time I would be visiting Nehru Place fa'sure.

Questions
1. As both of them are possible within my budget, how is Phenom II X4 945 in comparison to 620?
2. How are the prices?
3. Should I go with the alternatives, like Transcend RAM in place of Corsair/G-Skill + the CM SMPS instead of Gigabyte/Corsair?
4. Is the HD 4850 1GB worth that extra money or there's a better option if I go in that range of 8k?
5. Any other suggestions/comments?

Thanks fellas!
 
For the PSU go for the Corsair VX450-4k/CX400-3.2k PSU

Else Gigabyte Superb 460w-2.2k

Dont ever buy the CM Extreme power or extreme power plus series PSU's bundled with the CM cabbies. They su©k.

And ya the amd phenomII X4 - 945 is better than the athlon's when it comes to gaming as they have 6MB L3 Cache and also clocked at 3 GHz.

If you are from Delhi why not buy from SMC. Just PM him. He is registered dealer in this forum and has all brands. Just PM him for quotes and go and pick up the stuff from him. Even if thats not possible i am sure you can get it shipped which will be cheap considering you are in Delhi and it is local shipping only
 
get the Phenom II X4 945 combo FTW

And for GPU, HOLD on...dunt buy HD4850 1GB for 7.8k, instead buy a

PowerColour PCS HD5750 1GB GDDR5 @ 8.4k
 
^^ Thanks both of you, I've got an estimated quote from SMC as well.. would be calling them tomorrow to get the exact prices.. would update here once I receive that.. :)

Thanks again!

Edit: And yes, he has all the brands in SMPS and RAM, so will be going with a Gigabyte PSU and G-Skill RAM :D

Ok guys, came to know that GPUs 4850 and 4870, both in 512MB have been discontinued. :(
Any model higher takes the machine out of budget.. :huh:

Kindly suggest..

Thanks!
 
techshop.in and theitdepot.com have 512 MB 4850 @ ~7k, mostly the Powercolor one. Otherwise the 4770 is available in your budget and its a 40nm part and vfm. I'm sure retailers still have the 4850 512MB. If you're looking for ati 5 series cards i don't think there is one in your budget yet, you will have to wait for the cheaper cards in the series.
