4 da same budget..is dat true??

n does AMD still have those "overheating" issues?i thgt those guys fixed'em up!!

Since you are getting a separate gfx card, it is better to stick to Intel... AMD doesnt have overheating issues, but it is lagging behind Intel in performance... Its advantage is that its motherboards have much better IGP than Intel mobos but that is not important here...

am not a big comp geek but i heard my frnds dat if i invest in a quad core..da games that are out...dont fully utulise..the quad core capabilities...so...is it wise 2 invest in a quad core if my priority is a serious gaming rig!!...

i need ur help ...big time forum members..cause am gona finalise da hole config..by next week... so i need ur opinion ..asap!!! cld u!!

Most of the games are dual core optimised but quad is the future.

Get q8200 For Rs. 10000

Athlon 64X2 5000+ -- 2900
Asus M2A MX mobo -- 2300
OCZ Value 2GB ram -- 950
CoolerMaster 460W Ext Pw -- 2400
Palit Dual Sonic HD 4870 512MB -- 15850

Total : 24400.

If you can increase ur budget a bit get the Palit aa 780g MOBO... (3800) A lot better.
Also If you can increase a bit more... get the Athlon X4 5600+ for 3900.
At 2.9GHz speed ur processor will never be a bottleneck. (Though loading screens will be a bit longer compared to intel, the gameplay hit is quite negligible)

Total budget 26900
