guys,

please suggest me good CPU + Mobo + GFX card (optional)

check my current rig and this time i want to try AMD 64.

give me best options.

i already have 512 x 2 = 1 GB DDR - 400 MHz so i would like to take benifit of DDR 400 dual channel.
this is main point to be consider while giving me your suggesion.

max budget for mobo + cpu + HDD + CD RW + cabinet with good SMPS = 20000.

i have my old 40 GB hdd in spare so i can run my machine without HDD.

give me best combo offer you can think.


thx in advance for all of you ...........

Sorry for this but I have not used any AMD solution myself up till now so can't advice you on this.

If u are going in for the intel solution i gave, please remember that such a configuration will heat up your CPU and mobo and hence you must purchase an AIR GUIDE cabinet from antec only. Put addition fans if required.
