Build a Gaming PC Under Rs. 50,000
By: Jayesh Mansukhani   |   Oct 30, 2006

Monitor: Samsung 740N 17 Inch LCD (Rs. 10,300)
The monitor is easily the most expensive component in a computer roundup. Hence, when one is selecting a monitor, careful thought must be given while selecting. We could have easily selected a CRT monitor for this roundup but we chose not to. LCDs have become mainstream now and offer far more value for money with their bright output and great viewing angles. They are also slim hence occupy less space and require a lot less power to run as compared to the bulky CRTs. One thing to remember is that unlike CRT, LCDs have a resolution called "Native resolution" i.e. this is the recommended resolution one should work with for the maximum clarity. If you use any other resolution the picture will be less sharp and there will be a noticeable degradation in the quality of the display.

The LCD market space is fairly crowded making it a tough bargain for anyone to try and find a good deal. We chose to go with Samsung as this slim LCD monitor with its bright display and vivid colors is one of the best in the 17-inch class. The monitor offers a native resolution of 1280x1024 with a refresh rate of 75 Hz which makes it a pleasure to work with. Another great point for this monitor is the fact that comparable monitors from Viewsonic and LG cost around Rs. 1,000 more.

Keyboard & Mouse (Rs. 800)
Microsoft builds excellent keyboards and mice that are sturdy and are ideal for long hours of work. At a cost of just Rs. 800 this is considered to be an excellent buy. To top it, the set comes with a three-year warranty unlike other brands which offer only one-year warranty

Cabinet: VIP ATX Cabinet with Integrated 350W PSU (Rs. 1,650)
There is not much to say here. VIP is a well known maker of ATX cabinets available in decent colors and well designed power supplies, that are known for their reliability.

Speakers: Altec Lansing ATP3 (Rs. 2,700)
Altec Lansing makes some great PC speakers that offer an excellent experience for games and movies. The ATP3 2.1 speaker system fits right into the budget category offering above average performance with some features that can be found in products twice its cost. The sub-woofer packs a punch and is capable of outputting 18 watts RMS. The speakers are also equally well powered and are capable of outputting 12 watts RMS.

hey avnish u are a noob .just shut up & listen.E6300 can overpass the performance of FX 62(not over clocked) and gain up to 7x multiplier 3.5+ghz.
So you can concentrate on buying better cooling,case,mobo.It can beat core2duo extreme not (over clocked).get an overclocked gecube x1600 pro and 1gb then blaze on with speed of light!

Excellent article!
i am interested in dvd editing, & so can u suggest me...a suitable mobo +cpu intel/amd ...as i want to upgrade my present ...(.mobo asus A7V8X-MX SE AMD 2600+XP & 768 MB DDR SDRAM LG 700s-CRT) under Rs.20k
Arvind @ Jan 08, 2007
Why the 1.8 on npithub.Com, u can get 2.8ers for 6k.
for 5k more, you can get a 16:10 lcd 19" from viewsonic
Avnish @ Dec 09, 2006
Why not the intel core 2 duo t7200? It has double the cache and a decent price too?
Mohan,Kochi @ Nov 05, 2006
Great article. Imho , everything is great except the motherboard. I don't really like the idea of a m-atx board for a gaming pc. I think the abit ni8 sli is a much better board and is now finally available with a few dealers in bombay. Its not much more than the asus board.
Sameep , Mumbai @ Nov 04, 2006
Good info as well as prices to compare
chandigarh @ Nov 02, 2006
Too cool an idea .... I recomend ...Instead of the samsung monitor .... One can look at a 32 inch samsung lcd .... Serves a purpose of the tv .... Pc serves the purpose to log on the net and also ... Play games .... Also a dvd player to watch the movies ... Internet can be through ... The cable .....No need for a seperate computer table or occupy space ...... What say !!!

Excellent combination of processor and memory with sound .Options for or improvement of the onboard graphics could have made an excellent choice for upgrading my present pentium 4 ht 1.24 gb ddr ram with 256 nvedia geforce graphics on a 915 intel mtb 17 " lcd monitor costing me rs.58,600/- a few months back

An excellent combination for a gaming pc. But instead of using twinmos memory you could have used simmtronics memory, which is about 1000 bucks lesser than the price of the twinmos and gives the same performance.

I agree with deepsat, i mean as the gaming progresses i suppose that the demand for intence graphics will increase so go for the latest nvidia.
if possible please compare gaming pc with ps3 and the future?
Kushal Shah, Jamnagar @ Oct 31, 2006
Thats the best artical i hav ever read. But i only wish i would have read it before making my pc. My only 6 mounth old pc sucks. I have 2 build a new 1 like tech 2 suggested
anurag, kolkata @ Oct 31, 2006
A question.. The sound card is onboard 7.1 , will it has a output socket for 7.1 ? Suggest a 7.1 speaker system for this mother board. All the others are just fine for a gamer and multimedia.
Murlidharan,Chennai @ Oct 31, 2006
Good article ! But what about people who want to just replace their cpu's like me. I want to replace just my motherboard, processor and ram and core2duo has a heavy price tag ? Any amd variants u suggest?
varun,chennai @ Oct 31, 2006
Good suggestion. However, for any gaming pc, the graphics card is the essence. Not sure on how much fps the mentioned card can support! And with games like crysis on the horizon, its better to go with a card of the future!
