suppose u got a 22 inch monitor or so, then gaming on that with onboard graphics not at all advisable.

anyways the rig----

Athlon II X3 435 2.9GHz @ 4k
Biostar TA785G3 @ 3.7k
Kingston 2GB DDR3 1333MHz C9 @ 2.5k
Western Digital Caviar Blue 320GB @ 1.7k
Sapphire HD4670 512MB @ 3.5k
FSP Saga II 400 Watts @ 2.3k

total - 17.7k

for lowering cost skip that graphics card (not advisable) and get Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4.3k

Mercury ---> desi PSU. look at ITwares. they got Mercury PSUs

i prefer the second option. skip that card. get a X4 630 along with the HD mobo. and if possible 4Gb ram. don't skip that PSU though.

How about X4 635 ??

look at X4 635's price before getting it. if price difference is 200 bucks, go for it.

HD version is much better. 4 DIMM slots. 128Mb DDR3 sideport memory. 140W proccy support. better audio. not to mention looks better.

x4 635 costs around 5.5k or so...high for your budget.
go for any -- kingston or transcend ddr3 1333mhz ram whichever is cheaper.

ok .... I think i can fit in X4 ....
Can skip a few things ... But i guess onboard gfx wont be enuf to play new games which need Shader 3.0 support isnt it ?

he better off getting a card later, rather than getting something which will become useless as soon as he move to bigger monitor. he can save & get a HD5670.

with ease. HD4200 support SP 4.1, maybe, not sure though. for 17", that IGP is fine. you may try OC the IGP to get better FPS. i suggesting is get a good PSU to keep the graphics card route open to include a powerful card when you really need it.

yes sam is right, hd 4200 supports dx10.1 and shader model 4.1.
i think...................:chinscratch: sam's right. you should go for x4 630 now, save some more money and get a better graphics card later---

so you you should get this---

Athlon II X4 635 2.9GHz @ 5.4k
Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4.3k
Kingston 2 * 2GB 1333MHz DDR3 @ 5.1k
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB @ 2k
FSP Saga II 400 Watts @ 2.3k

lower the ram you this high on your budget or get Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz @ 4.7k
add a good graphics card later.....

you can. just say bye bye to gaming. atleast till you have a graphics card in your stockpile. also Future proof? i doubt Intel even heard this word, forget knowing the meaning. so in clear words, get intel (at this budget) & it'll be like giving yourself a KO punch :lol:
