Extreme Budget Full Setup Gaming PC Build (September)

Its been long since I made a post and that is mainly because I don't have time. So from now I would be making lesser posts than usual. 

I said a month back that I would be doing an extreme budget rig build and to fulfill my promise I have this today. Now this PC won't be super powerful with 4K 60fps Capability neither would it able to run 1080p 60fps on everything but it will run everything quite well. 

I would include Flipkart and Amazon Links for all parts in Yellow and Blue Color respectively, there would be just one link if it is not available on said website. Buy the parts from wherever you find convenient. The list of all parts compiled with prices is given at the end. The hypothetical BENCHMARKS are also at the end. So without wasting any time let's get started.

So for the CPU we have something which you guys would debate about a lot but it is the way to go for a budget this tight. We have the AMD FX 6300. Now I know this is a last generation CPU but until Zen CPUs release we have nothing to compete it in this Budget. And also, AMD is the way to go for all extreme budget builds in this price segment.

CPU- AMD FX-6300 

Links: 

Amazon- http://amzn.to/2bLPFDR

Flipkart- http://fkrt.it/KqdkJuuuuN

For the cooler we have nothing fancy but the Stock. With a budget this tight getting a cooler is actually overspending when you can easily upgrade down the line.

Cooler- Stock

For the Motherboard we have the Asus M5A78L-M-USB3. I was actually surprised to see a budget Motherboard this beautiful. Black PCBs and accents of blue look amazing along with all the utility like USB 3.0. This is what gave me an idea for the color scheme.

Motherboard-  Asus M5A78L-M-USB3

Links:

Amazon- http://amzn.to/2bVI4Wt

Flipkart- http://fkrt.it/rYYAZNNNNN

Following the motherboard we have the next part that goes into it. The RAM. For that we have the beautiful and fast sticks from Kingston HyperX Fury. These are Blue in color and go very well with the accents on the motherboard. Now I had initially thought that we would be going for the ugly green DIMMs without heat spreaders but something this beautiful at a price this cheap really blew me away. We have just 1 stick of 8 gig RAM but mind you that is 1866mhz yes you heard right 1866mhz.

RAM- Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1866mhz

Links:

Amazon- http://amzn.to/2bXqK0T

Flipkart-  http://fkrt.it/Uw5mMuuuuN

Now we have the heart of every Gaming PC. Yes, the GPU. This was a very difficult choice as the RX 460 and GTX 950 both were very tough competitors. 

RX 460 from AMD performs exceptionally well in DX 12 and Vulkan titles and has higher memory of 4 GB useful with higher quality textures.

GTX 950 from NVIDIA has a faster GPU and performs great in DX 11 titles which is basically 85% of current games.

This was an extremely difficult competition. But considering the higher memory and that more and more titles would start coming withbe DX 12 support I chose RX 460.

 The availability of RX 460 is currently very low in India but I am pretty sure more variants would start shipping soon. Currently we just have one from Sapphire.

GPU- Sapphire Radeon Nitro RX 460 

Amazon: http://amzn.to/2bXvwvc

Next up we have the power supply. Being on a tight budget doesn't mean that we can risk frying all our beloved hardware by using cheap PSUs. We often ignore the fact that it is a component directly connected to all our hardware, a bad PSU can make your life bad. But that doesn't also mean that we can spend more money on a Corsair AX1200i than our entire PC. So we have, the pocket friendly Cooler Master CM 350. Now with the rated TDP of 95W on CPU and 75W on GPU I don't expect this thing to take anything over 250W so that extra 100W should be enough for headroom.

PSU- Cooler Master CM 350

Amazon- http://amzn.to/2cblzcp

Flipkart- http://fkrt.it/UwhEFuuuuN

Storage on something this budget friendly has to be cheap but what is the use of building a gaming PC when you can't store your games properly for that we have the best bang for your buck 500 GB Hard Drive from Seagate. Don't expect an SSD at this price point.

HDD- Seagate Pipeline HD 500GB

Amazon: http://amzn.to/2bXvfIL

Flipkart: http://fkrt.it/mx8!jNNNNN

For the case we have the Zebronics Bricks. I know its nothing fancy but surely has it's perks. Firstly it is full black and gray which makes it color neutral. Secondly, it comes pre-installed with 2 80mm Fans which is nice and lastly it is very cheap for the space it offers. One thing to add is that it comes with a 450W PSU. Take it out as it is not very good quality and fit in the CM 350.

Case- Zebronics Bricks ZEB-912G

Amazon- http://amzn.to/2bEjJoU

With the PC done let's come to the peripherals.

Starting things off we have the Monitor. For this I chose the 21.5" Beautiful Monitor from BenQ. It has an HDMI input, built-in speakers, audio out and a 6ms Response time. With all these feature in no other monitor at this price it was a clear winner.

Monitor- BenQ GW2255HM 21.5" 1080p 6ms

Amazon- http://amzn.to/2bVQVaD

Flipkart- http://fkrt.it/HJ9VIuuuuN

Next up we have the Mouse and keyboard. Now don't expect Cherry MX Speed Switches and 1000DPI Mice at this price point so for the keyboard and mouse we have the cheap and surprisingly amazing combo from Logitech. I have personally used this and can confidently say that this combo is amazing. The mouse offers amazing tracking for the price and the keyboard has a decent build quality.

K&M- Logitech MK120 Mouse and Keyboard Combo

Amazon- http://amzn.to/2bVRzVL

Flipkart- http://fkrt.it/HJGviuuuuN

Ending today's post we have the headset. Now this isn't mandatory as we have a inbuilt speakers in our monitor but since the title says 'FULL SETUP' I am including this also, when you play those multiplayer games it becomes really important to communicate, using a mic can actually improve your performance. Not to mention when you don't want to disturb anyone while you fire those guns in Counter Strike and roam through the streets of Los Santos with music turned high in GTA V.

Headset. For that we have the Logitech H151. With its small on-the-ear design it is really comfortable to wear. It is very light weight and won't hurt after long sessions of gaming. The mic can be flipped up while not in use.

Headset- Logitech H151 Headset 

Amazon- http://amzn.to/2bM7H8L

Flipkart- http://fkrt.it/rY7ijNNNNN

Budget Stream and Gaming PC Build (Special Request)

A guy named NinjaStar on YouTube asked for a 970 and i5 build under INR 60K ($700). Normally I would do Builds only twice a month but this was a special request so here I go.
If you don't want to read the description of everything head straight down to parts list and PPP Links

The best price/performance i5 is the 4460 but since we used it in the last build, I am going with the Skylake i5 6500 this time. Now the advantage of the 6500 is simple. Its on the newer LGA 1151 socket so that gives a power of future expandability with Kaby Lake releasing in Q4 2016 being on the same socket as well. With the extremely low TDP of 65W this would surely help save money on the long run with a lower power bill.
CPU- Intel Core i5 6500 (15000)

Being on an extremely tight budget for having a 1440p capable PC we need to cut costs somewhere so we the stock cooler for the cooling needs.
Cooler- Stock (00)

The idea for the Motherboard in an extreme budget build like this one is always the same. Get the cheapest good quality one you can find. So here we have an extremely cheap Motherboard from MSI. Also the universal rule of Small size= Small price is also applicable here thats why an mATX motherboard.
Motherboard- MSI H110M Pro (4500)

RAM too was not a difficult choice. We found an amazingly cheap DDR4 2133mhz 8 GB Crucial stick. Since the Motherboard doesn't support anything over 2133mhz it is useless to go anything over that.
RAM- Crucial 8GB 2133mhz x 2 CT8G4DFD8213 (4500)

Storage was another spot to cut costs. So no SSD and no huge hard drives. Also, if you already have any form of storage device, buying one while building a PC can be avoided to cut costs. Here i am adding a hard drive just because I am not sure if the guy has one or not.
HDD- Seagate Barracuda 500 GB 7200 RPM 3.5" (2300)

Now this guy asked for a 970 so I must put a 970. The only problem was that he is from India and India has a very hot tropical climate so blower style coolers won't work. Finding a good aftermarket 970 was the only difficult task in this build but Zotac came in as a saviour.
GPU- Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (24000)

With just 9K left now on the budget finding a case and a power supply was sort of difficult but now much after I saw this.
Case- Deepcool Smarter Micro ATX Case (2700)

Powering this beast of a PC on a tight budget would have been difficult. But the efficient Maxwell and Skylake Architecture made it easy. With a rated TDP lesser than 350W a 500W power supply would be great to give some overclocking room to the PC.
PSU- Corsair VS550 550W (3500)

This sums up the build. We were well under the budget with 3500 remaining in the bank. NinjaSnake can always use this to add more storage or include a better CPU fan. This is an amazingly powerful build and I had never imagined this much power could be packed in a PC in such a small budget.
The actual prices may vary a bit (give or take 3000). Also for the Indian viewers, avoid buying parts online it is much more expensive than the local stores.

Comment down below what you think of this build. If anybody has anything similar do post Benchmarks. Share this build and blog with your friends. And stay tuned for more amazing builds. I have something planned for future so keep checking the blog.

The Budget 1080p Gaming PC Build (July #1)

Here is the first PC Build of the blog ever. I am from India and most of the viewers will be from India so the title pricing is in Indian Rupee but for US and UK viewers PCPartPicker links are at the end of the post.
The Prices in brackets are in Indian Rupee. Also, if you don't want to read why the specific part is being chosen just scroll to the end of the post where all parts are mentioned along with the PCPartPicker Links.

Now the motive of this PC is was to suck out the best performance in 1080p gaming at the least price spent so going with the latest 6th generation Skylake would have been a performance tradeoff at a slightly higher price just for having the latest platform (and maybe future expandability) over the last gen Haswell CPUs so that explains the choice for our CPU
CPU- Intel Core i5 4460 (13000)

Being on a budget doesn't mean we want our CPU to replace the frying pan so a replacement for the Stock Cooler is required. Now we all know Hyper 212 is the best choice in a budget build but the Hyper T2 at a significantly lower price of $10 would do wonders on a non overclocked CPU.
Cooler- Cooler Master Hyper T2 (2200)

Motherboard doesn't affect performance that much unless it is from some seriously shitty Chinese brand. So, the choice was simple, get the cheapest compatible motherboard from a reputable brand with a decent chipset. Also a small tip- whenever you are on tight budget go small, so here we have a MicroATX Motherboard.
Motherboard- Gigabyte GA B85M DS3H (5500)

Same as the motherboard is the case with RAM, until and unless its some real cheap ass shit it won't affect gaming performance. Although, higher frequencies and lower latency significantly increases performance on iGPUs but since we will have a Dedicated GPU for this build it doesn't matter. So the choice for the RAM too was very simple, also Spoiler Alert- since we are on a budget don't expect those RAMs with fancy heatsinks on them. Also, 8 GB is enough for games so-
RAM- G Skill DDR3 1333 mhz NE Series (2 x 4GB) (3800)

Storage is also a no brainer. Get the cheapest 1TB 7200 RPM Hard Drive and smack it into the case and you're up and running. We have also added an SSD for all the lightning fast boot times.
HDD- Hitachi Deskstar 1TB 7200 RPM (3200)
SSD- Kingston SSDNow V300 120 GB (3000)

Now this is a complex part. Both AMD and NVIDIA offer amazing performance at 1080p. The 2 options in this case were GTX 960 and Radeon R9 380.
Now here comes this twist, I browsed on the web and found that the R9 380 is way more expensive that the GTX 960 in India. So, for the US and UK viewers it is the R9 380 but for the Indian viewers it is the GTX 960. The one mentioned here now doesn't concern you if you're from outside India. Visit the PC Part Picker link at the end of the post for your GPU.
GPU- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 Gigabyte Windforce OC Edition 2 GB (15500)

The thing with cases is that if it fits, it sits so whatever case you get doesn't matter as long as all your hardware fits. Here we have an ATX Mid Tower Case just to allow future expandability. Maybe after a few years you want full sized hardware, you won't have to get a case too.
Case- Cooler Master Elite 430 (4500)

Power Supply is something which is important but doesn't seem important. A cheap Chinese power supply may fry you dear to heart PC. Also not enough wattage may not be able to run your PC at all. Being on a budget Modular and 80 Plus Titanium and Platinum efficiency should be considered non existant. So, keeping that in mind we have a 500W power supply, now this PC requires power less than 400W but to fulfill the needs of extra power if we put in a more powerful GPU in future, something like a GTX 970 (with all those price drops now)
PSU- Corsair VS 500 (3200)

So this sums up our build. A very powerful and fast machine at a very convenient price of under $550 or INR 54000.

Now a thing to note is that parts in the links may vary across countries and this is simply due to unavailability. Also, the UK Build seem a bit expensive to me and that is because I selected the parts as US as a base country and changed the country to get the links.

Now a note for Indian Viewers is that although these parts are available online but it is advised to get all this from a store as Online is way expensive and you would save a lot of money that way. Hence, there is no PC Part Picker link. If you people want I can give the links from next time.

Now the links-
US- http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Gv2PsJ

UK- http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/wh7VYr

Part List for India-
CPU- Intel Core i5 4460 (13000)

RAM- G Skill DDR3 1333 mhz NE Series (2 x 4GB) (3800)

Tell me guys what you think about this in the comments. Stay tuned in for more amazing builds. Also, use that Contact THB link for build requests.

Now many of you would be thinking that costs can be further cut with not much decrease in gaming performance, but that is a story for another day.
