thnx bt I'm sorry to say the buyer couldn't afford that much, please recommend anything around 15k

^ Sorry dude. I can't create any complete rig in 15K. In my first post I'd written that:

What to say?? Awesome!! or more than awesome!!! Never thought that any new rig would come at 15K. You make one impossible thing possible.

I remember I had to make a complete system within 13K a yaer back....

Bought a second hand CRT monitor and new Atom setup.... That was really intresting build of mine......

I think we should have sub 15k system......

can you recommed a lowend gpu for light gaming now?

@OP-Tell me your budget?

Tenida, that's a really nice and optimized configuration there. Good job buddy.

I just wanna suggest a couple of things: Please check the Anandtech review of the Pentium G series processor. Here it has been observed that any Athlon II X3 3 GHz+ is ahead of the whole batch of G series in any kind of productivity suit and neck to neck in gaming if not better.

So an Athlon II X3 450/455 @ 3.5K + Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P (rev. 3.1) @ 2.8K is also a very good solution.

@Cilus-Thanks cilus for the suggestion.Can you give me the anandtech link??
@OP-Go for what cilus has suggested(Proccy+mobo) rest of the config is same...

budget 3.5k

At your budget there's only one model you can get sapphire HD64501GB but its not worth it.You can't play modern games at smooth fps.
In battlefield bad company 2.Its gives following fps:-
1024*768-17.3FPS
1280*1024-8.6fps
1650*1050-9.8fps.
So I will suggest you to increase your budget slightly and get MSI R6670 ATI RADEON@5k dual-fan version from MD Computers.
MSI Global â€“ Graphics Card - R6670-MD1GD5

Tenida, Here goes the anandtech link: AnandTech - The Sandy Bridge Pentium Review: G850, G840, G620 & G620T Tested .

billamama, at 3.5K, the best you can get is HD 4670 1GB GDDR3 version. But I also strongly recommend you to go with HD 6670 a Tenida suggested or Sapphire HD 5670 512 MB GDDR5 @ 4.2K.
