A good deal?

So I am getting a i5 650 and an Astrek motherboard with heatsync and 4 gb ram DDR3 ram @9300rupees which is about 137 dollars. I already have a cabinet and a hard drive do you think the deal is worth the money?

Well in the us market it's a bit high but I don't know what the used market is like where you are. But I would guess it's at least an okay deal.

Depends on where. How much does a budget cpu (such as the athlon 860k) and a motherboard cost in your country?

No, get a 860k it will crush that because even though it is an "i5" it is a dual core with hyperthreading that predates nehalem, so the ipc is terrible.

 

EDIt: used the i5 650 goes for about $35USD, and 4gb of ram for like $10, and even with a $50 motherboard it still wouldn't be really worth it as newer cpus are so much better.

actually 860k itself costs about more than the whole deal that i am getting which is almost 10k, also I have been using a 9 year old ancient laptop (vostro 1400) it will just be okay for my kinda work load as all i do is program and light game, also will this setup alone be able to run CS GO or will I have to buy a 750ti, which btw is also almost the same cost of the setup. Paired with 750ti it can be considered an average gaming rig or no?
