Change Proccy to Phenom X4 955 BE which is Rs. 800 odd more expensive but totally worth that money with added 6 MB L3 Cache and a Black Edition :D

teckfreak:shock:amd phenom x4 840 is a re branded Athlon x4 processor it doesn't have l3 cache. Darksider go for gigabyte GA 880GM-USB3@ 4.8K it is a AM3+ motherboard so better upgrade path.

darksider, your config is also good, but if you can buy Phenom X4 955 BE as Tech_Wiz have already suggested for you, it will be great combo at your budget.

darksider, don't take any risk buy a ups.

Yes a UPS is actually very important. A direct power off can actually cause permanent damage to ones pc components. I myself once ended up with a corrupt Hard drive without a ups. Therefore donot take chamber and buy a UPS.
and especially since you will be purchasing such costly components its - Better safe then sorry :wink:

Do you have to use the UPS for computer - CNET Computer newbies Forums

Even if you live in an area where power cuts are 'rare', that doesn't mean that not a single power cut will happen while you are using your PC. ;) So 'just' to be in the safe side you should opt for UPS.

Buy APC 1KVA UPS.

Back up will be depending on what you are running.

But that one should give you 15-25 min. backup for sure.

UPS will only let you some time to save the work and shut down properly.

If You want uninterrupted power use then Opt for an Home Inverter which gives 4 hr backup.

It will be useless as OP have already said that at OP's area power cuts are rare.
