Ne0 Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Guys, quick question - how much would a good gaming PC (without monitor/kb/mouse & speakers) cost now ? I mean, I should be able to play most games with most of the bells/whistles on atleast in Full HD ! Oh, and it needs to be future proof (should hold well for at-least another 4-5 years). Also, any way to hook up the TV in the living room to the PC in another room ? Something like chromecast available for streaming games ?

ALPHA17 Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 ^ I would say around ~80,000/- depending on how much eye-candy you want to give up on after the first two years of the PC's life. STEAM Link is your answer and no it is not officially available in India. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEAM Link is your answer and no it is not officially available in India. Thanks. 80k is a little too steep. What's the best configuration can I get with Rs 50,000/- ? Again, like I said , my monitor's max resolution is 1080p and I won't be using fancy features like HDR and 4K for another couple of years at-least. EDIT: Also, I've a cooler master mid tower cabinet currently, would prefer to reuse that (it might reduce the costs a little , giving more room for proc/gfx card ?)

Can you share a picture of the chassis? It might free up a decent chunk of the budget for other components but again I am assuming you will be going for a GTX 1060 or equivalent graphic card coupled with a Ryzen 5 chip which will come up to ~40,000/- which leaves very little for the RAM and PSU and maybe an SSD/hard drive.

Here're the pics of the cabinet, do you want me to take the photos of internals ? I've forgotten the model name though. I don't have any preference for gfx card or proc as I don't follow much about them these days. So open to recommendations Edited May 21, 2017 by Ne0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotSonix Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) For 40 k budget and the intention to play games I think you should go with the latest pentium proc that has hyperthreading . Otherwise it's impossible to do it with a 1060 @40k Cpu 4.5k Gpu 20k Ram 3k Hdd 3k Psu 5k Mobo 5k Total 40 -42k For 50k you can swap the pentium with a core i5 Sent from my SM-G900H using Tapatalk Edited May 21, 2017 by HotSonix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any preference for gfx card or proc as I don't follow much about them these days. So open to recommendations As long as you can live with no USB 3.0 ports up front, I can suggest you the following build, AMD Ryzen R5 1600 GIGABYTE AB350M-D3H Kingston / Corsair 4 GB x2 2666MHz RAM (Ryzen CPU's scale beautifully with higher speed memory, if you can clock these sticks to ~3000MHz stable, you will get a good ~5% -->10% performance boost) ZOTAC! AMP! Extreme GTX1060 6GB Seasonic M12II 520W Kingston UV400 or SAMSUNG 750 EVO 240GB SSD [rest I think you already have] All this should sit around ~55,000/- and no lesser. Ram 3k Let me tell you that RAM is no longer this cheap, neither do I recommend an Intel Pentium based system if he wants to run it for the next five years pushing games at HIGH settings.

Yeah I was looking at the prices and am shocked its like a 50% hike in just 5 months.I brought a 8gb for the price less than a 4gb one these days @neo if you still want a intel here it is Core i5 7500 - 14.5k Asus b250 -6.5k Zotac 1060 6gb -21k Samsung Evo - 3.5k(120gb) Ram - 5k (Kingston 4X4) Psu Seasonic -5k total 55k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ne0 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Thanks guys, is the SSD like mandatory for good gaming performance ? I already have 500gb hdd, will that not suffice ? Also I currently have vx450w power supply. Can I reuse that ? Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Edited May 22, 2017 by Ne0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotSonix Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 No ssd is for boot drive only For gaming you at least need 500 gb ssd which will cost like 10k Also get rid of that vx series asap Also aaa games are like 40 50 gb these days . So make your choice Sent from my SM-G900H using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I currently have vx450w power supply. Can I reuse that ? The SSD will only boost the applications installed on it, so maximum Windows plus maybe one or two odd programs and games. For your query on the hard drive, how many PlayStation 4 games fit on a 500 GB drive these days? The VX450W is a good PSU but also old in the tooth, that is why suggested you get a new PSU simply because I do not think it can take the stresses of a brand new system any more. Also get rid of that vx series asap The VX is good stuff, unlike the recent VS you are confusing it with but yes also at least five years old thus needs to be replaced. RAM prices have gone up thanks to smartphones and other smart devices. So yeah, that is why I flat out refused a build under ~50,000/-.

Django_3101 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Looking at pre-assembled. If anyone can tell me - how is the below config. - what could be changed. - How future proof is this. looking at atleast 1 year(more is always good) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotSonix Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 You can go for the nzxt s340 elite .Much better looking than the S340 and has a front vr port (hdmi) psu if possible change to corsair rmx 550 or 650 if you are into lightning and stuff check Nzxt hue+ or if going cheap check deepcool rgb strips This will last you like 2-3 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django_3101 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Thanks Hotsonix. I am not into fancy lightning or other decors. This is a pre-built system sold as-is. I have to enquire if they allow to swap parts for extra price or refund the difference. or what I can do is buy these parts separately and get it assembled from them. So, apart from PSU and case, do you think this system is good to go? There are other options as well but I am not well versed with hardware, if you or someone else have time to look at, please help select a good pc https://www.pccasegear.com/category/1411/systems Edited May 22, 2017 by Django_3101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotSonix Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) OK but I need to know what's your budget Also just buy the parts and assemble them yourself . It's not that hard and once you watch 2 3 videos from pc part picker you are rock solid You will be saving a lot of money Sent from my SM-G900H using Tapatalk Edited May 23, 2017 by HotSonix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
