Hello friends, i have narrowed in on AMD Phenom 9850 and need a good motherboard for it. Please suggest some good ones (better if SLI supported). I would be putting in 2GB 800 MHz Transcend RAM, NVIDIA 8600GT and a 500GB hard-disk. (I would be later upgrading to either 9800GTX or dual-8800 GT)

My budget for all of the above is 25K max. excluding all other peripherals like LCD, keyboard and all that stuff.

Phenom II X4 920 2.8GHz @ 10.5k
Biostar 790GX A2+ @ 5.2k
MSI HD4870 512MB GDDR5 @ 12.8k
2*2=4GB DDR2 800MHz Transcend RAM @ 2.5k
Western Digital 500GB HDD @ 3.2k

Man, 9800GTX and 2x8800GT?? Which world are you living in?? Those are god darn outdated.

That's a total of Rs. 33000, but it's way better than what you were intending to buy. Sell of your old components.
