Whats ur budget?????????
Fill up the questionare first.

whatever your budget is i don't think 5450 is a good option!!

^^ Exactly. Its not a gaming card but will be a good solution for htpc's.

my budget is 30k ;p
i dont know how and where to fill questionare
so tell me the cheapest gpu for playing crysis2
and also the prices of the things in the list.....
please its very urgent,,,,,

^^ Fill it HERE.

^^ question here. amd sites lists minimum of 500W power for hd 6850, so will fsp sagaII 500W be able to support all the components? is there any good fsp 600W psu available for 3k?

amd phenom ii 955 be + radeon hd 5770 = amd athlon ii x4 635 + radeon hd 6850 in terms of price. which one is better, getting l3 cache for gaming or sacrificing it for better discrete graphics card?

^^ yes. will support without any problem.

also a note to OP: don't listen to shopkeepers whatever they say. they'll surely try to force you get slow, outdated parts. BEWARE.

also thx for previous replies

^^ Go for ishu's config. It slightly overshoots your budget but is absolutely worth it. Get a 1tb hdd instead of the 500gb by adding an additional 1k.

You can also opt for a phenom 2 955be by adding additional 2k. Its can be overclocked very easily due to the unlocked multiplier.

@OP: why not get >5k GPU and reduce the cost on processor? you need to play games, isnt it? make it future proof. what are you going to get in <5k? anyways you may consider radeon hd 5670. dell st2220m has backlight bleeding problem, AFAIK. get the rig suggested by ishu. you cant get better than that for your budget.

thxxx utkarsh.......
so what about this:
phenom 955be
gigabyte 880
itb seagate hd
4gb corsair
zebronics gaming cabinet
onboard gpu
stock cooler
gsm smps 500w
aoc razor led 20" led
iball w/l kit

i will upgrade it when i get more money
is this rig ok

You said you wanted to play Crysis 2.
It won't even be playable on lowest setting on that onboard GPU.

And whats this GSM power supply?

And 20" won't be 1080p/FullHD

yeah i am going to buy a graphics card later
gsm is decent compony that produces cabinets ans smps
the monitor is 900p.....with led backlit
are there any better option for monitors under 8k

Did you look at my config?
I suggested a 1080p monitor for 7.3k
You can also go for Dell ST2220M @ 8.2k

And if you are going to buy a graphic card later....
This won't let you Overclock but its WAY better than 955BE.

thxxx buddy i appriciate your help

never heard of GSM. maybe some local brand. as you are going for a GPU later, invest in a descent PSU. not the costliest but the one recommended by Ishu. enough for all sub 15k cards.

@OP: make sure u look for B3 revision boards while purchasing a mobo for sandy bridge (ishu already mentioned it but still making it prompt).

ok i will buy a decent psu.......
and i think i am going with 955be
is there any other processor you suggest under 7k
which is best when overclocked..
and also i am confused so tell me the cheapest decent 5oow psu
and thxxx everybody for helping me.....
also tell me the coolest looking gaming cabinet under 2.5k

go for 955 BE. Quad-core. Very good OCing potential (due to its unlocked multiplier). Best thing at that price.

i really don't like the word "gaming cabinet". seriously, you don't game with your cabby.
however, a good cabby would be NZXT Gamma @2k. Good airflow/ventilation etc.

i would suggest you get vx450 @3.5k. you're planning to OC and that's gonna take some extra s**t. Or else FSP Saga II 500W @2.5k if you don't want to increase budget by 1k.
my say is that you'll be safer with the corsair one.

I would say op to stick with ishu's 2nd sandybridge based config if he can go for it. Its way future proof than 955be. Previously i mentioned a 955be because op was going for a 6850 from start.

Now that he isn't, going for a better processor is advisable. Just make sure to get the B3 Revision intel 1155 motherboards.

thxxxx everybody for the help
one last question..
phenom 955be will cost me-6900rs
and amd x4 640-4400
phenom 925-??? (tell me if u know)
which will be the best when overclocked.....with 880 gigabyte
i dont want to spend much on psu and fan so tell me the ones which will just work
not future proof........
i bought ipod touch 4g yesterday so my budget is cut down to 26k
so i need a professional help,tell me the options keeping everything in mind......
and i appriciate everyones help....thxx
