here is the config i prefer to buy

Processor --- Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 - 3500

Motherboard --- Gigabyte GA-EG31M-S2 - 2550/ asus P5KPL cm

Hard Disk - Western Digital 500GB , 16MB - 2875

DVD Writer - Samsung Sata 20x - 1200

Cabinet - Zebronics Bijli - 1000

Monitor - Samsung 2233sw - 7850

RAM - 2GB -

Gfx -

SMPS -

please suggest good graphics card which can handle 22" monitor... while playing games and watching movies. also smps and ram. i would like to overclock to 3 - 3.5 GHz so that i can do it without adding cooler.

i hope processor and motherboard is ok... if not please give suggestions.

How much are you willing to spend on a graphic card? I suggest go for ATI 4850 512 MB should cost you around 10k or go for 9600 GT if you want something in the 5-7k range

For the motherboard and processor you have Nvidia 9600 GT is the best.

Cooler master smps with 450W ratings.

thanks for the reply theG33k & toofan...

budget for GPU max 10k. if 9600gt could handle 22" monitor it would be fine so i could adjust power supply with that.



will the onboard graphics of g31 chipset support 22" monitor (if i wont play much games...) only watch movies? so that i could buy gfx card later.

depends on what games you would be playing and if you are looking at playing all the latest games then the onboard graphics is not a good option.

RAM: Kingston 800Mhz 2gb
Grafix: For 22' monitor and playing latest games, i suggest hd4850 for 8K. For playing older games and watching HD movies 9600gt for 5.5K would be enough.
SMPS: Depends on which grafix card you buy. I suggest VIP 600W or Corsair vx450W. Corsair is the best and has 5 year warranty :)
