8600gt card is the best value for money and I am not in gaming but only in video encoding, so for me it is high end.

I will appriciate if anyone has to suggest me a moterboard which can be useful for sometime in future and has a upgrade option.

N if tell u mobo @ abt 7500 which has all these features? then what
Go for Asus 650i SLI ready mobo...Its p5ne-sli

U can check this at tomshardware.com....965 BOARDS R GOOD BUT NOW age is catching them n they r getting outdated day by day...n p35 series is there but far too expensive n although that has arried but still havent left any impact...
Coming onto graphic card Nvidia 256 mb 8600gts is the best but if budget is concerned then u ca go for 8600gt as i have gone for it n believe my dear friend everygame runs as smooth as it can...

Don't go for zion RAM. That sucks. Go for Kingston/Corsair if you can get it. Else go for Transcend.

for DDR3 you will have to go for either a G33 or P35 based motherboard.

i say go for P35 if u need DDR3. Asus has a good range of boards in P35 chipset family. and asus is one of the best right now. the starting range of P35 in Asus is abt 9K. just go to the asus website and you will find the whole range.

But still DDR3 RAM cost a fortune as now! U can opt a combi board like P5K-C because it supports DDR2 and DDR3 both. So u will be using any one of them!

Even still DDR3 doesn't make a big performance difference....so it is advisable to buy a DDR 2 RAM.
