A 22 inch display will have a resolution of 1920x1080 or thereabouts. That kind of display requires serious graphics power to run games at good settings. So, passe or not, a smaller monitor is the way to go for a budget build.

Thanks a lot guys for reply.

I choose AMD phenom as a CPU.
Now, what monitor size should i go for? what about GPU?
For board should i stick with gigabyte or any thing else?

No clr opinion on dis!

Go with Gigabyte MA785GMT-USB3 cost ard 5.5k

It has latest features like USB 3.0, e-SATA, HDMI, Firewire.

Go with 22incher which are quite cheap nowadays

Benq e2200hd for 7.7k

and for gpu get hd5770 as tanay suggested.

@tanay

Native resolution of 22 incher is 1680X1050 if he goes with non-hd 22incher.

But even on a full hd 22 incher,playing games on 1680X1050 have no difference due to smaller screen size.I am telling this from my personal exp.Moniters are not changed regularly so he should go with bigger size rather than getting 19 or 17inch.

Ok,allright,

CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 250 (3200)
Board: Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-US2H (4200)
RAM: 2x2 GB DDR3 1066 of Transcend (4500)
HDD: 500GB Seagate (1800)
DVD Rw: Asus (1100)
Mouse+Kbd combo : Logitech ( 700)
Cabinet with PSU: Cooler Master Elite 310 (1300)
Monitor: Benq e2200hd (7700)
Is that allright?

Now,
GPU: ATI HD 4670 (4.4k) / Ati 5670 (5250/-) / HD 5770 (9.5K) /5750 (8K)?

The PSU will run will the card but I wouldn't recommend it. You dont want to take chances with a new card do you? Change to atleast a Gigabyte 460W Supreme Power supply. It's around 2150/-. Also look for the Ati 5750. It's at par with the 4850(a bit faster to be precise),consumes less power and has DX11 support. It will be a bit more future proof.

Nope.It's just the Power Supply. With a 17'' monitor you wont notice the difference between 4850 or 5750. Go for whichever one you prefer.

[tanay]

DVD Rw: Asus (1100)
Mouse+Kbd combo : Logitech ( 700)
Cabinet with PSU: Cooler Master Elite 310 (1300) Make sure the PSU is around 500W if you are going to put in a good gpu
Monitor: Benq e2200hd (7700)

The more you spend, the more performance you'll get. If you like to run games with max details and AA/AF then spend the most you can.
