Hi Guys

I am going to buy a temp rig within 10k so that I can kill some time untill I buy anew one in may. I am going for AMD cos low end AMD rig will be better than intel :D. But suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Purpose
24X7 internet Download
Gaming at 1024*768 (wanna play cod4, redalert3 and farcry2 if possible crysis :lol: )

I need,

1) dual core proc (intel or amd)
2) Intel or Amd motherboard
3) 2 GB ram (only 1000 rs :grin: )
4) Graphics card
5) hard disk
6) Cabinet.

first 4 are really important. 5 &6 if I can accomodate means I will buy it :grin:.

For Intel Based :

Dual Core e2160 or 2180 for Rs. 3000-3200
Asus P5KPL-CM For Rs. 2300-2500
2 GB Ram Rs. 1000-1100
GFX Card Palit 8600GT 512MB DDR3 With HDMI For Rs. 3500

You can oc the proc around 2.5Ghz with this mobo easily & it will perform far more better than amd 5000+

As for the gfx card gaming experience will be far more better than onboard 780G & with the added hdmi port you can use your rig as a htpc in the future.

what if I takeout HDD and add an hd3450 for hybrid graphics, will it do the magic of playing crysis?
What abt overclocking does this mobo and proc support it. I am going to learn everything on this rig :D

Go with intel rig. It will give better OC capability, Performance.
The 8600GT is far more better than HD3450.

Guys how about this config

Amd x2 5200+
Gigabyte 780G GA-MA78GM-S2H mobo
2 GB Ram

Can this rig handle farcry 2 and gta 4 at 1024*768 resolution with low graphics. Or Do i have to add Hd 3450 in hybrid crossfire for improvement

PS: Planning to do overclocking. Target 3GHZ (2.6) for 5200 and 800 MHZ (500) for IGP :D
