Is this config. the correct one????

Intel Core i5 Sandy Bridge 3.30 GHz LGA 1155 95W 4 Core Desktop Processor@11877
Asus P8P67 Pro LGA 1155 Intel P67 DDR3 ATX Motherboard@13536
A GFX card @ 12,5k suggest one...
Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory@6300

or should i go for AMD Phenom II X6 Thuban 3.20 GHz AM3 125W 6 Core Desktop Processor@12091...

The AMD 6 core is better than SB 4 core in long.
Slowly but surely programs are becoming multithreaded so I say amd.

@OP
what are your requirements and budget
it would be better if you could tell us that

budget is 60k maximum....i need a processor....OC capable mobo...GFX card...monitor...and 8GB RAM....a power supply..HDD...cooling unit(optional)......!!!!!!!!

Amd 6 core is better in applications and core i5 sb is better in games

Makes more sense to go with LGA 1155 Sandy Bridge. "Future proof" as some people say.

Wrong buddy. i5 2x00 sandybridge are faster even in multithreaded apps than amd hex cores owing to their superior architecture. Hex cores were better than nehalem based quad cores (particularly lynnfield and low end bloomfields )in multithreaded apps but sandybridge has turned the tables in the midrange playing field.

Future support for 1155 based ivybridge processors is just icing on the cake.

@manju

?

Intel DP67BG - 8.5K
Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3-B3 - 9.5K
MSI P67A GD55 - 9.5K

K - series should be paired with P67 mobo
non K - series to H67 mobo...

Reason for pairing this way is that,
P67 mobo has good OCing capabilities...

^^ I think op can afford a 1tb hdd instead by paying a 1k extra. Its really worthwhile imo.

I thought the same too, EDITED..

i suggest this -

@JAS, I dont think CM USP 100 is better than CM 430 or Gamma...

6970 mid-range gaming..

CM 430~gamma>USP 100

usp 100 is better.

and why any harm with 6970?

^^Any specific points y USP 100?

6970 overshoots OP's Budget...

^overshoots by 5k or 700 bucks?

see some reviews of usp100.

usp100 has good reviews but look at the date of the reviews...

no problem mailme. the product is same.

USP 100 is a very good cabinet and is bigger than Elite 430 and very good for having long graphics card. It has very good air flow design also. Our forum member src07 has purchased it and I've seen it.
although both HD 6970 and GTX 570 perform almost same but HD 6970 is advisable due to its 2 GB frame buffer which will come handy to shader heavy games and high anti aliasing values and better multi GPU scaling.

IMO....

Get another 6950 into act, but later. If not then consider Gigabyte GTX 560 ti SOC.

Review: *www.guru3d.com/article/gigabyte-gtx-560-ti-soc-review/

^^ Is the gigabyte 560 soc available yet in india?

its listed in the Gigabyte India site, but let me check.

GIGABYTE - Graphics Card - NVIDIA - PCI Express Solution - GeForce 500 Series - GV-N560SO-1GI

MSI GTX560Ti Twin Frozr II/OC is priced at 14500... and MSI N550GTX-Ti Sonic II OC is priced in b/w 8500-9200... these two cards doesn;t seem to have much of a difference b.w theie specs.... then y shouldn't i go for MSI N550GTX-Ti Sonic II OC and save a few bucks...

go for a Msi Gtx 560 ti whole lot better than the 550's.
Will also give better performance in games.
But if it exceeds you're budget then the 550 wont dissapoint as well

T

I'm not sure but max people say getting a GTX460 is better than 550Ti.

Don't go for Gtx 550 . Better get a GTX 460 768 mb or a HD 6790 instead of it.

by the way its GTS 550
