Finally decided to switch to the pc master race. I have a budget of 80k. The absolute max I can push it is to 85. I also want to somehow adjust money for a mechanical keyboard in there. But this build with prices off galaxy.pk kinda goes slightly above my budget. I can't decide between going Skylake or sticking to Haswell. I know i can probably save money if I go haswell. But idk. I guess it'd be easier to upgrade later. But heres what I have in mind atm. Just help me adjust the build into 80k somehow. I really can't go beyond 80 because there will probably be other stuff I have to buy later that i'm not taking into account. Wifi adapters, webcam and shet. Idk.

Processor: i5-6400 2.7ghz ~21000rs || i3-6100 ~ 13000rs
GPU: ASUS GTX 950 ~ 21000rs || ASUS GTX 960 2gb STRIX ~ 25000rs
Mobo: Gigabyte G1 Sniper b7 (just the cheapest ddr4 mobo i could find on galaxy.pk) ~12500rs
RAM: Kingston 8gb ddr4 ~3600rs
PSU: Corsair 450W ~ 4200rs
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1tb ~5500rs
Monitor: Any decent 1080p monitor. Recommendations please
Casing: Again, cheapest decent casing I can find. Recommendations welcome

Should I go i5 + 950 or i3 + 960. I don't want to limit myself to virtual cores rather than real ones. If it doesn't make too much of a difference then I'll definitely stick to 6100 and 960 since its the more powerful gpu and upgrade cpu later on if needed.

Mobo: on beegeek there is a mobo that costs 8.4k and supports 2133 ddr4 ram check the site :)

So the virtual cores of i3 won't be a problem in the future?
And if the new gen of gpus is coming then should i wait a bit longer before getting a gpu? Im going to start building around may when my semester ends. I can wait longer if its worth waiting for a successor to the 960 or a price drop.

As for the CPU saving 10 k or 50% of total value for 20-30% performance sacrifice is great deal and i3 will help u in resale in case u want to upgrade in future but if u still want a solid quad core then i wont stop u.
Yeah and waiting for something like Gtx 1070 or 1060 is well worth it...:)

If you have a max budget of 85k then you also have the choice of purchasing the following pc parts:

Processor: i5-6400 2.7ghz ~20500s
GPU: ASUS GTX 960 2gb STRIX ~ 24000rs
Mobo: Gigabyte B150M D3H ~8500rs
RAM: Kingston 8gb ddr4 ~3600rs
PSU: Corsair 450W ~ 4200rs
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1tb ~5500rs
Monitor: Asus VS228NE 21.5" ~ 13500rs
Casing: Cooler Master K-Series K350 ~ 5000rs

Total = 84,800

[MENTION=5716]Nabeel95[/MENTION] at above suggested pc's you need to use a high-end psu like Corsair or antec 850w to run your system smoothly :)

One can use the power supply calculator from various websites and calculate that the above system would be drawing an estimated 350 w only.

Therefore a 450 watt psu will be more then enough for the above system. However if the op feels that he will later on upgrade to a better graphic with higher power draw
then by all means he can go for a better psu.

450W PSU will be good enough for above build
for Casing ThermalTake Versa N21 is good option

Also I don't think i3 is a good move over i5 especially in CPU hungry games in future, I have read some article that GTX 960/950 bottleneck on i3 lowest frame data (stuttering) by atleast 10fps compare to i5. However avg frame rate is just 2/3 frames short. so if you dont bothered with stuttering in some games then go for i3.

Some more info regarding i3 and i5.
