    Even if Uncharted was available for PC, the First rig will play it definitely, and the second one will do as well. Get your facts right. Read more about GPU and games.

    I doubt whether Intex 1KVA UPS costs 3.5k or not. AFAIK it was available for ~2k. Spending more than that it not justified. Insted you can get APC 1KVA for ~4k.

    Whoa Whoa wait. Did you just mention the Whole PS3 bundle with his RIG? That's why you claimed that it can play Uncharted? God damn. Sorry for my post, but please write clearly atleast. Make it clear first that you are including PS3 in the second RIG to the OP and tell the difference.

    OP bhai why do you want such "low-end" GPU(considering your total budget). Buy the HD 7850 as advised before. It's a new and great card and also has 2GB memory.

    Also HD 7850 is available on various websites and go for ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 instead of gigabyte Mobo.

    Low end??? GTX 560 is no manner is a Low End Card.

    At OPs budget he can get a 560Ti (13.5k) or a HD7850 (15.6k). Both can run any "PC" Games at HD resolution at High Setts.

    LOL I know GTX 560 is not a low-end card but for OP's budget it is. Think about it this way: A guy wants to buy a car and has a budget of Rs 50 lakhs. So he decides to get an Audi. But since his preferred model ain't available he asks that whether he should get a Honda Civic instead??!! Obviously in that case we would say that Civic is a low-end car even though it's not right??
