Hey folks,

I made this PC for a friend who wanted to have a desktop PC for surfing and playing less demanding games like : TF2, Dota, FIFA 13 etc. All the components were bought from Saqicity, very nice service + prompt delivery.

1. Motherboard: ASUS H81-M 'E'.
2. Processor: Intel Pentium G3220 LGA 1150.
3. Memory: Corsair Value Select 4GB DDR3 (1333Mhz)
4. HDD: Seagate 500GB Barracuda ES
5. Optical Drive: Samsung DVD Writer (Super Combo)
6. Chassis: Xigmatek ASGARD XP
7. PSU: Xigmatek XCP-A400 (400W)








Motherboard

Processor
Spoiler: show

Bought G3220, because G3240 wasn't available anywhere two weeks ago.







Memory
Spoiler: show

Packing of this stick wasn't okay, and stick itself had a little rust on it. I asked their representative that its a used stick, he replied "no sir, ye paray paray packing kharab hojati hai and if there is any problem you can claim warranty"







Case
Spoiler: show

The quality of Case is very good given the price range plus it looks very decent because of matte type paint.











PSU

HDD

Now, pls recommend the best graphic card under 12-13k new or used (in warranty).

congratz on your build.

try to get 7850 2GB in 14k max. availability matters. 570 is power hungry gpu, i wont recommend it. but beside GPU you need a good cpu too. try to get i3 2nd gen atleast. for balanced gaming

Congrats man. Cable Management Is Too good But can you close the back door with cables behind the motherboard's tray ? Anyways You should have saved more and gone for i3 4130 to call it a good entry level Gaming pc. and You can get Amd radeon 7850 in 14k And tell us on which Resolution you play games on ?

Nice built....but a little down side on the pro and board...a 2nd gen i5 is better if u talk abt performance...and yes 7850 or gtx 660 would be a good option for gpu

Thanks :)
After getting a 7850 or similar card, would G3220 still bottleneck?

Thank you!
Yeah I can rest it back, but it takes time to adjust the cables. First I tied wires all together but couldn't close it so tied them separately and it worked :)
Budget was 35k max so, thats why didn't go for i3.

Resolution he would play at: 1280x720.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    The only valid thing from his pov he said in the video is AC dead since Black Flag. According to woke police that game was woke too. Welsh man in West Indies. So atleast he's consistent I guess lol

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
