The latest gen i3-10100 is around $270CAD. That leaves you $90 for everything else.

Dell Optiplex + a 1050Ti that doesn't require a 4 PIN power connector.

This ^^^

Those ex-business machines are fantastic value, and are unlikely to have been abused like the O/C home-builds for sale.

Get a used dell optiplex and stick a used graphics card in it with a new power supply. Problem solved.

OP has stated a budget of 20000 INR. irdk what he should do lmao

 

@RodentPico for 20000 INR you could probably buy a cheap Compaq or Frontech or Zebronics pre-built with a shady "450w PSU" which supplies prolly 100w, and throw in a GPU of choice in your budget. im not sure if those pre builts would fit in your price either.

 

can you lift your budget to 25000-30000 INR? thatd make things a lot easier for you

[RodentPico]

replace b350 motherboard with a320 or b450.

idk if the 2200g is available, if not throw in a 3200g.

get 8gb of ram, 16 gigs is too much for you lol

this pricing may be a little outdated, but the indian pc component market isnt heavily effected by the current global circumstances.

Aye, but I don't think a card that new is really in his budget.

Yeah, I almost bought an i3 - 4160 with 8GB of RAM and a 1TB HDD for $70.

Ended up going a different route though.

That's why you shouldn't also put converted prices The CAD price has absolutely no relevancy to you.

Looks like he should save a little longer.

i actually don't need a sick looking case because i honestly don't care about it all i care about is the performance

yeah, you can use a cardboard box with perforations as a case, if you wanted to. try going to a kabaadi-wala and check if he has any old cases lying around, or get one fro prolly 1000 bucks lmao.

this is a list with no case, ill leave that upto you

do note this is american pricing, indian rates should add up to less than 27k

 

also, if you live in a city like bangalore, hyderbad, mumbai, delhi or kolkata, you should check out the offline market pricing, its SOOO MUCH MORE cheaper than indian online prices

Could always try and grab a console for your gaming pleasure.

You just don't have enough for a decent PC

Maybe the used market there will have something?

love the idea but consoles here are rarrer than you think and they cost around 40K rupees so... Plus i just want to play csgo

[RodentPico]

I think i could probably get a Nividia 970(4g) for around 5k

once again, the pricing here is wack, you can get these components for cheaper (the price for the 3100 isnt listed, which is why it comes under 20k)

pair this with the 970 and heck you can even run csgo at 200+ fps and much more newer games at smooth frame rates and medium-high-ultra settings

 

NOTES:
1. ram is overpriced, you can get it for cheaper

2. motherboard is overpriced, you can get it for cheaper

3. you can replace cpu with something like a ryzen 3 1200af or even an athlon

which psu and ram are you using?

its a bad idea to get a psu that costs lesser than an ssd
