PC in a Budget


BUDGET COMPUTER BUILD


        Owning a computer is everyone's dream just like owning a mobile phone or owning a bicycle. Everyone wants it but are constrained by the budget. So here is guide for you if you have a small budget.

        (Note :- The following PC build is just a bare minimum.)

Let's Start.

The Checklist
  • CPU or Processor - For a budget, I would recommend an 'intel' processor, although I personally use an 'AMD' one. It can be a celeron or Pentium. As long as it fits inside the  budget, you are good to go.
  • Motherboard - Any Motherboard from gigabyte or astar or any company which has the socket type compatible with the processor selling at low price.
  • Hard Disk - A 500GB HDD would be sufficient.
  • Power Supply or SMPS - This is the main component as it will provide juice (electricity) to run all components so it should be minimum 500 watts.
  • Memory or RAM - 4GB is sufficient.
  • Keyboard and Mouse combo - Any combo that goes with your budget.
  • Monitor - A 15- inch monitor is good to go.
  • UPS - Any UPS under your budget and capable of running the computer for around 10 minutes.
  • Cabinet - To put all the components in.

Central Processing Unit

For a budget build intel Pentium G3220 with clock speed of 3GHz would be a great CPU. It support DDR3-1333 RAM. The processor has 2 cores.
intel ARK Specifications are as follows :-
Graphics Frequency - 1.1 GHz or 1100 MHz
Max Memory - 32 GB
Graphics Memory - 1.7 GB
Memory Bandwidth - 21 GB/s
Resolution - max 2560x1600
DirectX - 11.1 Open Gl-4.0
Shader - 5.0// 10-13 Shaders present
 Its socket is LGA1150. So motherboard should support it. which bring us to next component - Motherboard.
Its latest price is Rs.4407.

Motherboard

Now, as the cpu would only fit inside socket LGA1150, the  motherboard should have socket LGA1150. MSI H81M-P33 would be a great motherboard for the cpu. Key Features of this motherboard are :- 
  • LGA 1150 socket
  • DDR3-1600 Memory
  • SATA 6Gb/s
  • 4th Gen Intel® Core
Motherboard Price : Rs.3640.

Memory or RAM


Hynix the brand name you have never probably heard of but they make quality memory. And they are selling at cheap rates. Runs at 1600MHz clock speed.  The branded company purchase from Hynix and brand them and sell the RAM stick at higher prices to us, so it's better to purchase directly from them.
RAM Price : Rs.1178.


Power Supply Unit (SMPS)

Earlier I mentioned about using minimum of 500Watt smps. But you can safely use 450W psu. Buy Zebronics Value Plus 450W PSU. It has 6 SATA Cables.
PSU Price : Rs.550.
