I have increased my budget from 30k to 40k now plz recommend me config for that price, monitor and graphics card must be included.

The system will be used for mid-end gaming and multimedia but I want good performance.

I need both intel and amd config , also state which one is better and why .

Thank you :)

Also note im increasing my budget because I want a better processor( preferably x6 phenom )

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

I am thinking about this config:-

Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 635 2.9Ghz @ 5k
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA-785GMT-US2H @ 4.5k
Ram: Corsair 2Gb DDR3-1333Mhz x 2 Value @ 5k
Graphics Card: Sapphire HD5670 512Mb @ 5.3k
PSU: FSP Saga II 400W @ 2k
Cabinet: CM Elite 310 @ 1.5k
Monitor: BenQ G2200HD @ 7.5k
HDD : Seagate 500 GB @ 1.9k
KB/Mouse Wireless @ 2k??
DVD : LG @ .9k

Total : around 35k

Is this config good enough?

---also let me know if i3 setup is better?
and is AMD Athlon II X4 640 out yet if yes then how much?

For your 22" monitor a HD5770 is must to play games at decent settings. HD5670 will struggle at resolutions greater than 13** x ***

Jul 14, 2010 at 2:29 PM
so athlon x4 635 + hd5770
hd5770 sapphire costs how much??

There is no HD6770. Its HD5770
Athlon II X4 635 @ 5K
HD5770 @ 8.9K for biostar and 9.4K for MSI Hawk

yes. for now HD5670 can be used for Full HD gaming but sooner or latter, new games will render your card useless. as a piece of crap if you try Full HD gaming. but for lower relslution gaming like 1600X900, HD5670 is best.

so athlon x4 635 + hd5770
hd5770 sapphire costs how much??

don't go for Sapphire HD5770. either get Biostar or MSI. MSI uses default AMD design. not good.

There is no HD6770. Its HD5770
Athlon II X4 635 @ 5K
HD5770 @ 8.9K for biostar and 9.4K for MSI Hawk

no. Biostar one cost 8.5k or maybe 100 bucks more.

ok cool, but why no one answers if i should get phenom x4 and what will be the cost for ph x4 955 BE ?

by including 955BE within your budget you'll destabilize your config (will need change in GPU to maintain cost level).

ryt MSI Hawk is selling...hot..coz it has 2fans instead of 1.....dats y
go with MSI...but dnt think it will exceed in perfomance frm other 5770 cards...
the performance increase is only 1-2fps.....
only change is cooling system......which u can also get using extra fans (120mm) :smile:

so choice is urs.....

i have sapphire...& i game 5~6hrs average..& still my system remains damm cool....
