I think his budget of 40K is for only for CPU so don't include LCD and where is HDD and DVD writer rest of the components you suggested are good.

Go for this, when you play at FULL HD with this GPU, the CPU won't matter much, even the E8400 would give the same fps.

it's better to wait a week as HD4770 will create another set of price drops from nvidia. I have a feeling that GTS250 might become lot more cheaper (maybe down to 8k)

I seen 2 benchmarks of HD 4770.It even outperforms GTS 250 and HD 4850 in some games and 9800GT and HD 4830 in almost all the games.It should be priced under 7.5k as its MSRP is only 99$.Just wait for HD 4770.

There is a cabinet from Zebronics, called Rage which has huge 220mm side fan and tiny LCD display to monitor temperatures. Try it out :)

wot does this means it's written in features of ASUS M3N78 EM
When installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more, Windows® 32-bit operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Hence, a total installed memory of less than 3GB is recommended.
uchiha_madara
Apr 29, 2009 at 9:24 PM
win xp 32 bit( or any 32 bit OS) is only able to use 4GB of memory space.Of this normally 2 GB are allocated for user programs and rest 2 GB address space is reserved by the OS for itself to be allocated among devices(processor, NIC etc) and other things.Now a user can change a few settings( more like some ini files AFAIK) to increase the amount of address space used by a program to 3 GB(but this may lead to instability or crashes with certain programs).The address space accessible to the user is amount of memory that will be used by the OS and any excess memory installed will just be ignored(in some extreme cases cause system to crash or some weird thing may happen).4 GB limit comes from 2^32.
The amount of heat in case of peak usage is going to be very high with a quad and RV 770 series card or nVidia GTX 260 but the main concern should be other components like HDD and ram which are not going to have a fan to cool them,and also, while you are at it buy a cabinet with fan in the front of the case.

1) Phenom II X4 and GTX260 run pretty cool. NO doubt about that.
2) with 4k budgtet, I think Coolermaster CM690 should be ideal for you "*www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?act=detail&id=2908"
Fans in this cabinet:
Front :120 mm Blue LED fan x 1, 1200 rpm, 21 dBA,
Rear : 120 mm standard fan, 1200 rpm, 21 dBA,
Top : 120 or 140 mm fan x 2 (optional),
Bottom : 120 mm fan x 1 (optional),
Left: 120mm fan x 2 (one is optional)-up to 140mm fans

3) 32-bit OS can detect only upto 3.5Gb of ram and anything more than that, you need 64-bit OS.
4) After lot of search some sites are reporting that on extreme overclocking, biostar ta 790GX 128M motherboard's FET (field effect transistors) are getting overheated and resulting in freeze (not dangerous but would limit overclocking potential). Let me try to find a better board.

Biostar TA790G mobo is not a gud O.C'er as far as I heard. Above 1.5V vCore the mobo becomes unstable. I think the default vCore of X4 is around 1.36V...so even if u r getting an aftermarket cooler, I don't think u can reach a decent clock speed without touching 1.5v vCore. So get a decent 790 mobo if planing to O.C. well.

It's a nice board but you won't be able to do heavy overclocking on this board and also make sure that the BIOS version is F7 or higher and the motherboards revision should be 2.x (for Phenom II X4 support) as rev 2.x comes with a better heatsink (northbridge)

Invest in Playstation or XBOX they r better if gaming is the only need, and will last longer without upgradation

i.e. more cost effective
