Bought the os and already own monitor and other peripherals

Yup just the tower

Only tower and I live in India where everything is overpriced!

My budget in inr is 30000 which actually is 500$ but in reality due to overpriced stuff it equates to about 400$

How much more should I save?

Good build! But can I get an nvidia gpu cause blender uses cuda

Something like a 650ti or 750ti

There is a good jump in performance at $800-1000...  Lower than that means you will have to upgrade.  Upgrading means you are spending money now that goes to waste.

Blender uses cuda very efficiently

Open gl not so much

So I could really use a nvidia gpu right?

Or is open gl performance good too in blender?

Cool build! But a 100$ out of budget equates to 180$ out of budget in India

[Arwanell]

get the i3, they are very good in gaming, i have it together with 970

and then get gtx 750ti or something

everything else, your choice out of remaining money
