Motherboard GPU and PSU Queries

Hi All,

Planning to buy a New Unit.

I have already deceided on the processor- Athlon X-II X4,635.

Please suggest me a motherboard,GPU and PSU for the same.

I will be primarily using this for gaming and watching HD Movies.

I am having a LCD television (32 inch -Full HD 1080P) which i use as a monitor,but my present config is too low for playing HD movies.

Thanks in Advance,
Prosenjit

What is your budget for everything you need to buy?

Mine budget around 25 k without monitor,hdd.

Processor: Athlon II X4 630 @ 4.5k
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA880GM-UD2H @ 4.5-5k
Ram: 2Gb DDR3 1333Mhz @ ~2.3k
Graphics Card: GTX460 768Mb from any manufacturer (except Palit) @ ~11k
PSU: Corsair VX450W @ 3.7k

TOTAL: 26k

this shouldn't disappoint you. well if possible add 2Gb more to utilize the power of the system to max.

Would buying a ATI based GPU create a differrence in Performance if yes please let me know one which is comparable to GTX 460

nothing like that, gtx460 768mb is a powerful card and well within your budget..

GTX 460 enough ! get 1GB version worth paying 2K more :arrow:

i am planning for Zotac GTX 465 with PSU of corsair tx650W.. can u guys suggest me which mobo shud i buy? (preferably it shud have integrated bluetooth and wifi and 1 serial and parallel port)

is corsair PSU are better than CoolerMaster???

gtx465 - AVOID IT. its a power hungry, hot, crap performer. even less than gtx460 which is much better. corsair better than cm.
