----------------------------------------------------------
My Current System:
:grin:

P3 667 MHZ

128MB SDRAM
14" CRT

:))

I haven't included speakers.
Phenom II X4 would be good enough. An X6 1055T will cost you 8k, which would overshoot your budget by a lot.

I would suggest,

Component | Make | Price Processor |AMD Phenom II X4 955BE|6300
Motherboard |Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H|4000
RAM |Corsair Value 2X2GB DDR3 1333MHz|2200
HDD |Seagate 500GB 7200.12/ WDC 500GB Blue|1700
DVD Writer |LG 22X SATA DVD|900
PSU |FSP Saga II 500W|2100
Case |Bijli|1000
Monitor |BenQ G2220HD|7300
KB+Mouse |Logitech MK100|500
UPS |APC 650VA|2600
Total ||28600

Add GPU like 6850 - 9.5K after saving up some bucks, a month later

Yep, that is a good option.

The rest is upto u rowsap1

AMD Phenom II X6 1050T @ 7.8k
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H @ 4k
corsair/kingston 2gb ddr3 1333mhz @ 1.1k
Corsair vx 450W @ 3.5k
WD 500gb cavier blue @ 1.7k
BenQ G2220HD @ 7.2k
LG DVD R/RW @ .8k
Zebronics bijli cabby @ 1k
Logitech MK100 @ .5k
numeric 800va ups @ 2.7k(not sure about the price of this one)

30k upto now
so you better save a bit for a good graphics card
or you can go for the rig mentioned above mine

Since the OP's purpose is gaming, 1055T < 955BE

OC it a bit and its good too go
and there's not much difference in performance
X6 will rather add future proof value to it
and......he mentioned in his template ....point no. 14

Wen OCed to same clockspeeds, say 4Ghz, 955BE>1055T
Also, It's a little harder to maintain a stable over-clock on the 1055T if you want it to match say the overclocked speeds of the 955 BE because it just gets to hot(correct me if i'm wrong...).

actually the stock cooler coming with X6 are better
on the other hand 955 BE had issues with its cooler

@Piyush and Mailme.Manju Read point 4. on the template...no OC plans.

@Piyush He's gonna be gaming, so 955BE~1055T in terms of usage and performance in general.

hmmm....then its upto him whether he want to go for X6 or X4

Piyush said:

Yep. It's all personal.

P.S. Why are you browsing in Invisible Mode???

No OC plans.... but wen OP has better knowledge of it, he'll surely b eager to do it.... :chinscratch:

May be after two years or so..

My vote is also for 1055T because overclocking is very easy on even the non-Be processors. After couple of months of used OP can easily go for Oceing.
And all the X6 processors from AMD are having better cooling management than their X4 processors...1090T runs cooler than X4 965.
And even for gaming, most of the new games released are well optimized for multiple cores...Crysis 2 can use upto 8 threads.

Then whats the final config????

OP havnt responded yet!!

Thank You every one for your prompt reply! I am really apologetic for such a prolonged absence.

I was thinking of ordering a Dell M501R from the company website, then i came to know of the Sales tax that you have to go and pay for any imports, to the government. Not that i have any problems in paying the tax but going and searching for the office and then paying is a problem. Why dont dell come up with some kind of understanding with the state governments so that they pay the taxes for us?

I am really thankful to everyone. I think i will buy a GPU some months later. I will go with the last configuration that was suggested.

Two more questions.
1) Where do i buy the hardware from? Supreme , Vedant,..? Where do i get the best warranty on goods or service in case any thing goes wrong? Any suggestions?
2) I want to sell my current system. Any body knows where i can do that?

11 Years on still working like a dream :smile:

1. I think vedant is a good shop. Get all from there. Else check which shop gives at cheaper price, get it from there.
2. Sale your old stuffs in the Bazaar section of forum.

Well Crysis 2 uses upto 8 threads but do you think OP can play crysis maxed out @1920*1080 with maxed out settings.Its rather impossible.Without Anti Aliasing at hardcore detail setting @ 1080p 5770 is only able to give 19-25 FPS which is rather unplayable.Better suggest a Phenom X4 CPU with an AMD Radeon 6xxx GPU instead of X6 with 5770 since 5770 is unplayable @1080p Hardcore Details in Crysis 2

True but OP is not getting GPU for now....

Oops I didnt read that
Hope OP will have adequate money for a 6850 or higher in the future.
