Building a new computer

[ashhad]

I am thinking to build a decent GAMING computer and do not want to throw a lot of money in because i have a PS3. I want a decent build that can play games at 720p - 1080p at Medium to High settings at 30 FPS(avg). I have gone through a ton of Youtube videos and have come out with some decent builds, here they are :

Build -1 (AMD Build)

Processor : AMD FX-4300
Motherboard : Asus M5A78L-M/USB3
Graphic Card : Sapphire Radeon R7 240 4GB DDR3
RAM : Kingston HyperX 8GB
Storage : Seagate Barracuda 1 TB
PSU : Corsair 550W PSU
Case : Antec ASK-4000BU3

Build -2 (Intel Build)

Processor : Intel i3 3220
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H
Graphic Card : ZOTAC NVIDIA GT 730 2GB DDR5
RAM : Kingston HyperX 8GB
Storage : Seagate Barracuda 1 TB
PSU : Corsair 550W PSU
Case : Antec ASK-4000BU3

I don't know much about PSU, please correct it if isn't correct.
Which Graphic Card is better - 4GB DDR3 Graphic card /or/ 2GB DDR5 Graphic Card ?
What do you think, and which one should i build INTEL /or/ AMD ?

You need to first mention your budget .

From your above post -

PSU is overkill, any good quality 300-350 watt psu will be enough , corsair cx430 will be future proof .

You dont need expensive Hyperx Ram, get corsair value ram .

You will probably need a better GPU .

I have no idea about AMD cpu , the intel cpu is older gen , get the latest gen i3 4130 or similar .

You will have no problem with the PSU , its fine ( get 430 or 450 watt PSU to lower cost a little but buy only from reputable brands )

About GPU never ever go with how much memory they are providing , we need more memory when we are doing a surround monitor ( eyefinity ) setup . If possible extend your budget a little and aim to get HD 7770 . It will give you very good performance for price paid .
1/2GB RAM is more than enough at low budget for GPU memory . The clock speed , shader cores and memory bus width are deciding factors . Your GPU choices are bad and will cause problems .

Go with AMD build you will save money and the performance difference would be absolutely nothing , infact in applications that support multi cores , AMD would perform better than i3 because it has more physical cores .
Again in this case i would suggest you to try and get FX 6300 , it is a beast at its price .

I think the main bottleneck you'll encounter will be your GPU, in both the builds. Try spending a little more and maybe go with a GTX 650 if you can.

A 550W PSU is fine if you think you'll want to upgrade within the next 12-18 months or so. On the other hand, if you're just going to build a whole new system in 3 years, 400W or so is more than enough.

After all that i have read ONLINE, I came to a conclusion that R7 260X, Radeon HD 7770, GTX 750ti are great cards for a budget build, and can get 60+FPS on Medium to High at 720p. But these cards are highly overpriced in India. I collected some info :

MSI AMD Radeon R7 260X OC 2GB GDDR5 - Amazon.com - $125 - Rs.8000 (Approx)
- Flipkart - Rs 9700
- Snapdeal - Rs 9181

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti - Amazon.com - $137 - Rs.8700 (Approx)
- Flipkart - Rs 10560
- Snapdeal - Rs 10497

Also, How much Delivery(Import) charges will it take for them to reach Delhi from USA?

would probably cost more than the indian price. customs and shipping would definitely cost more than 2-3K. and i think american prices usually do not include taxes though in this case that might not apply.

if you want to get an approx quote... file a request on websites like ibhejo or ishop international.

Will these cards be available for cheaper in local markets ?

Nehru Place is your friend.

Are there chances of it being cheap in Nehru Place, or Retailers will make it costly ( Even more than Indian E-Commerce sites - Flipkart/Snapdeal)
