No man! I attend classes only, I don't live there. I live some 45 KM away from that place. So I think I am safe. I know that place is dangerous cos' that place has been bombed earlier too. Very crowded place.

Congrats :)

Do you get genuine games in GUWAHATI ?????? I don't think so. Once bought from ebay (though it was unknowingly) some games even those were home made:D .If there were any genuine games in here I would have definitely bought them but alas! there aren't any. Bought Display, keyboard, mouse, cabinet, psu, processor and graphics card from computer terminal (near goswami service),ups from datamation and corsair memory, RAMPAGE EXTREME from jain infosys. Maybe I am the first owner of RAMPAGE EXTREME in the whole INDIA if not I am definetly sure about ASSAM:D

hmmmm you already spent so much, why not upgrade.
you should then go for a 47 Inch LCD. Along with a cool home theater system. It will then be even superb !
Get Denon AVR, Polk Audio or MS speakers. Set up a 7.1 and also get the blu-ray ! And game !

My friend has such setup ! Its an entertainment station !

AWESOME Rig...somehow i missed this thread earlier...But couldnt you have waited for the core i7? for the same price you could have got core i7-920 and one of the extreme mobos from Asus or Gigabyte....And i think HD4870x2 is available for 27k.

"thoda paisa??!??" the thing costs 50k...nearly 4 times the i7-920's price...you can just OC 920 to 3.2Ghz with stock cooling to be as fast as i7-965...the 965 is only for ppl who want to overclock to more than 4.4Ghz with LN2 and stuff.

The performance difference between Q9550 and Core i7 isn't much. And I already have 4870 CF.:mrgreen:

Some of the high end pc components aren't available in India(and I don't want to buy from abroad). So, kabhi kabhi paise daalne par bhi kuch cheese nahi milti:D. At first I asked my vendor to bring me QX9650, but he couldn't find one in whole India. So, I settled for the Q9550. And it is not a bad processor at all. I can easily run it at 3 Ghz. I am happy that I didn't spend 50k on QX9650.

And, about changing the CPU to core i7 920. That is not possible on this mobo. And, I think you already know why.

Thanks bro for appreciating my rig:)

Yeah I was talking about gaming. But if I overclock my 9550and compare it with a stock core i7 920 both of them performs almost same. By the way what happened to your rig???

My Rampage Extreme's NB was overheating and so I RMA'ed it. After one week the guys from Rashi Peripherals told me that I will get a new mobo. Next week I asked about the mobo and they told me that the it has been dispatched from Mumbai and I will get it by 6th of February. When I asked on this weeks Monday they told me that the motherboard is out of stock. And they told me that they will surely tell me if they are able to find another Rampage Extreme within three days. After three days I called them (that is today) and one of the guys told me to give him my number and he will call me back within half and hour. And till now none of those @$$holes has called me. They were always saying, we will call you whenever the motherboard would arrive, but those goblins never called me. Only two Rampage Extreme in whole India. One with Digit and the other with me. Or maybe the one DIgit tested came to me, because the two stickers that advertised something about the technology used on that mobo weren't present on my mobo. :(
