Hi, Nandit from New Delhi , India 

i've got 20k rupees for a new build which isnt much , and also if i sell my previous components , i may get 3-4k more - the total comes in 23k minimum

now, i want an amd processor ( as i have an amd board) , a graphic card , a case and a psu 

i have settled for 2 options after wandering the web for days

 

 

1.i'm getting a 7870+corsair vs650+dragon chaos gaming mouse-and a cooler master tx3 , all of which are used for 13k .. and a fx 8120 processor (used ) which i got for about 6 k , and 4-5k for a  new case.

 

 

2.i'm getting a r9 280x for 15k (used) and buy a processor (used ) for about 3.5k (i'm getting a phenom 2 955 )... and buy a shitty case and a vs450 (used) which i'm getting for about 4k total (case and psu) 

 

 

 and i game whenever i have a chance (gaming is love , gaming is life) 

i'm very confused, i won't be able to upgrade the pc for almost 2-3 years after this

and no , i cant pool in more money,

 

  

also , all the things i've mentioned that are used have some warranty with them ...

 

thank you in advance for the advice guys

I'd go for 1 simply because that psu is probaly insufficient for the 280x.

Unfortunately I don't know any indian prices. The nzxt source 210 should do the job just fine, and come in at 2k rupees if they keep the us pricing.

Corsair VS are crap and should NOT be used in a gaming build unless you want fire in your case.

Don't buy tier 4 ot 5 - even some tier 3 are questionable.

Tier 1 are the best, most solid and top-quality units

Tier 2 are very good units, usually geared towards lower budgets and offer great quality and reliability

Tier 3 are decent units - not good for OCing or heavy loads but won't burn out usually

Tier 4 are lackluster units, usually poor quality, bad and cheap components, mediocre build quality. Some can kill systems.

Tier 5 are fire hazards
