Thanks in advance

Zotac nvidia GTX 650 Ti 1 Gb

MSI ZH77A-G41 Motherboard

Intel I3 3220 3.30 GHz

1 Tb HDD

BenQ 20 inch LCD monitor

    Hi,

    Let me tell you 1 by one...

    1. Choose your graphics card wisely and look for display output connectors as the cheapest versions of Benq monitors are not having any HDMI or DVI connection, they only have VGA connectors.

    2. 4 GB of RAM is enough, though you can upgrade it to 8 GB any time in near future.

    3. The entry-level MOBOS doen't help so much in gaming. And your motherboard is not supporting NVIDIA SLI, it's supporting AMD CrossFire. I don't know why you have selected this motherboard. If you'll select one with the SLI technology, it'll help you boost up your gaming in future.

    4. Don't waste your money on i3 processors... I'm also a Intel fan boy but i3's are only dual core and thier price to performance ratio is not good. Unless you are opting for i5 2500K etc. this will not do any good. Go for AMD FX 6100(Forget about the rumors), it's a 6 core processor at nearly same price. (Itna bhi bura hota to bikta hi nahi).

    5. Don't just say "Hey, please give me 1TB Hard drive". Choose the HDD with maximum Cache file size. My recommendation- WD Caviar Green

    6. If you want the most out of your graphics card, don't select that monitor which is not having HDMI connection.

    7. Everything else is fine but I think 550 watts is not enough(Because the power consumption of your graphics card is 450 watts). Please check your necessary PSU wattage at

    Because PSU is the only thing you cannot compromise with.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you.

    looks good for decent gaming

    but i would like to alter some parts and make it still better

    1. motherboard - you can pick gigabyte ga b75m d3h which has similar features of h77 chipset the only difference is h77 has 2 sata 3.0 and b75 has one sata 3.0 but it is cheaper than h77 by rs 1500 or more

    2. ram - i would choose corsair value ram 4gb 1333mhz because there is not much difference between 1600mhz and 1333mhz ram in gaming and thereby saving some money

    3. psu - i would choose seasonic s12ii 430 (very good) or corsair cx430v2 (good) which is more than enough for this rig

    invest the saved money on 22" monitor so that games can be played at high resolution like 1920 × 1080 where 20" monitor can support resolution 1600 x 900

    I don't know what 37K is equal to in American dollars.

    But what you have put together is a very low end gaming system.

    You would benefit greatly by stepping up your CPU to a I5 2320 or better with a quad core in it for gaming.

    You should be able to play a lot of games out there at med settings with probably low details.

    Your going to want atleast 8gb of ram. I dont know how much 37k is, but your pc looks good enough to handle most games

    Good :D , you can even run crysis 2 on high - ultra , and if you can get an I5 Second gen or thrid gen it would be better
