[QUOTE="ALPHA17, post: 1630193, member: 33927"] This is what I would recommend -- Intel Core i5 2500[i][b]k[/b][/i] ~12500/- [Comparison of the AMD hex-core vs. Intel Core i5 @stock settings --> [url="http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/203?vs=288"]http://www.anandtech...duct/203?vs=288[/url]] + Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO ~2200/- [[b]to keep your processor cool while over-clocking and to help it from dying in the summer heat of north India[/b]] ASUS P8Z77M ~9500/- [[b]latest Intel chipset with great over-clocking potential[/b]] G.Skill RIPJAWS 4GB x2 ~3400/- Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB ~5500/- [[b]if you have an older SATA hard-drive from your dead RIG, use that to save money here[/b]] LG / Samsung OEM DVD drive ~1000/- nVidia GTX 560Ti ~12900/- [[b]better than the GTX 560 and currently the minimum you should buy for future titles[/b]] Corsair VX 550W ~4500/- [b]OR[/b] Seasonic S12 620W ~4800/- [[b]please avoid the Cooler Master eLite Power Plus series SMPS especially if you are looking at over-clocking and 24 x7 operation status[/b]] Cooler Master eLite 430 ~2700/- [b]OR[/b] NZXT Gamma ~3000/- Dell ST2220L ~8500/- [[b]Dell after sales service is well received and developed in India, also this is a full HD capable monitor with LED back-light and HDMI-out[/b]] This is the minimum you will have to invest in an over-clockable gaming RIG. Hope this helps, Cheers!! Few pointers to consider before buying the aforementioned RIG --[list] [*]Try to go for Intel Core i5 2500[i][b]k[/b][/i] as AMD hex-cores are not gaming grade processor as well consume more power @stock clocks. [*]If you can wait for ~1 -->2 months for this purchase Intel is realising Ivy-Bridge chips and they might cause some ripples in the market and potential price changes. [*]AMD HD 78** series are out and have put some good numbers in Benchmarks vis-a-vis current generation cards, here are reviews --> [url="http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7870-review-benchmark,3148.html"]http://www.tomshardw...hmark,3148.html[/url] / [url="http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/HD_7850_HD_7870/30.html"]http://www.techpower...HD_7870/30.html[/url] / [url="http://www.anandtech.com/show/5625/amd-radeon-hd-7870-ghz-edition-radeon-hd-7850-review-rounding-out-southern-islands"]http://www.anandtech...outhern-islands[/url]. If you can invest in these cards you will be set for ~3 years easy with most titles in high --> moderate detail @full HD resolution. [*]Seasonic S12II and Corsair VX SMPS are more reliable and efficient than the Cooler Master eLite series SMP, this will make a big difference in 24 x7 operational hours. [/list] Edit -- #arg Sire, I have a few questions to ask [list=1] [*]Are you willing to compromise on over-clocking to get the RIG within budget? [*]Do you want the absolute latest cutting edge in components OR you are fine with older options? [*]Do you think you can hold on this purchase for a month OR do you want an immediate purchase? [/list] Please answer these questions to ensure a better more tailored response. [/QUOTE]
