New Gaming / Gaming rig ?

[Nandit_HAF]

Domo fellow forum members , 

I request your advice for parts for a gaming rig I'm trying to bring together .

The cost should be around 40-45 k  (Indian)

Im thinking of an i5 8400 , a not so ecstatic motherboard ( no rgb) , 8 gb single stick memory and an SSD for Windows and windows 10 too . 

I have a good antec psu , a good case  and a 7870 ghost  with 1 tb HDD . 

Can you guys help with the motherboard , ram and SSD and what should I do with the 7870 and the case . 

Pls also tell me if I have a pirated windows on my HDD , can I put an original one in the ssd and still use my HDD data ? ( D and E drives ) ??

Thank you guys !

The case doesn't have usb 3 , I don't have any thunderbolt usage or usb c type usage . The PSU is 540 watt bronze.

What's an "ecstatic" motherboard?
I'm so confused, what do you mean you have an SSD for windows and windows 10? Can you put those on pcpartpicker and make it easier for us?

I don't see why not? Anyway, Here's a couple parts. I'm giving you a Ryzen because motherboards for it are sooo much cheaper.

These actually add up to just over 38K INR before shipping. You could grab another 8GB RAM or a bigger (500GB) SSD with the rest of the budget

 

The 7870 isn't great for gaming anymore, though it's definitely still workable. I'd keep it until you find that you can't play the games you want in the future, or buy a 1050 Ti today.

I think OP means they don't want a flashy motherboard

And god no, pcpp India is terrible. They only have links to Amazon India and all the prices are wrong. Some even show as half the price of what actually is in Amazon.in.

hi! thanks for replying ... i meant not something with more than enough 'gaurds ' , 'rgb lighting ' and 'extra tough' kinda stuff. just something that is  overclockable.

hey  man! thanks !!

also , an 8400 is better than a ryzen 5 1600 isnt it ?

our dear linus already said that its the best gaming processor (apart from i7s )

also , im currently gonna game on 1080 p for a long time (1-2 yrs) so is trading a 7870 required ? (i dont really care about above 60 fps gaming ) also i dont really play a lot of AAA titles.

i might go into twitch so is the ryzen better or the i5 ?
