hi guys!!....i have decided to upgrade my pc ....i am planning to buy 8800gt.....but after buying it i may not have enough money for mobo,processor and ram of high end.....so i shall be very thankful if u guys will advice me to combo of these (mobo,processor,ram) on which my new 8800gt shouldn't be bottleneck and i will be able to utilize its full potential while keeping it on LOWEST possible budget.....intel is my preference.....

my other concern is that the mobo should have 2 pci slots and a LAN .....

thanks for reading and replying guys !!

C2D E4500;
Gigabyte GA-G33M-S2H; or its Biostar equivalent;
Transcend 2*1GB 667MHz DDR2; or 2GB 800MHz DDR2

If ur budget is tad too low, take any mobo based on intel 965 chipset

thanks matt ...thats really good recommendation u made for processor and ram..... i will buy them for sure .....but i am bit skeptic about the mobo......will it have a pci x16 slot ??? a lan ?? 2 regular pci slot for my other card from my old mobo ?? ......

edit: also if someone could tell me the prices so wont get ripped off plz ...thanks

Abit IP35e 5.8k
e4500 - 4.9k
2*1 gb ddr2 800mhz ram - 2.6k

oh thanks pathkis......thats seems to be a nice mobo perfect for me ..... but is it future safe ?? i mean will i be able to use latest processors on it in near future ....like the Penryn......considering its p35 based mobo ???

and one last question.... is the hd2900xt available in india?? cause everywhere i read its all nvidia..........if yes then what price ???
