Why Not? What is the problem with it?

aren't you naming old components.... core2 series is nowadays a big no-no.... will become obsolete in a year....

AMD way:-
Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz B.E. @ 7.9k
MSI 785GM-E51 @ 4.6k
Sapphire HD5850 1GB GDDR5 @ 15.8k
Coolermaster Hyper N520 @ 2.4K
Kingston 2*2GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 5.4k
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB @ 5.3k
Corsair VX550W @ 4.7k
NZXT Gamma @ 2k
BenQ 22" G2220 FULL HD LCD Monitor @ 7.5k
Gigabyte GKM5000 @ 0.6k
logitech vakue optical @ 0.3k

total:-56.5k.... bang for buck config.... dont take hyper n520 if cant extend budget....

but no upgrade.... also amd phenom 2 955 @ 7.9k is a better performer than Intel Core 2 extreme-Rs.9000 at a lesser price....

+1 to Rahul.

AT 55k there's no way to think of Intel. AMD Rocks in low and middle end budgets. Intel can't compete with AMD in anyway in that budget.

Well....here is what I suggest

AMD Phenom II X4 955BE @ 8k
Biostar TA790GX A3+ @ 6.5k
4GB(2x2GB) 1333MHz Gskill DDR3 RAM @ 5.8k
1 TB WD Black @ 5.4k
Sapphire HD5770 1GB GDDR5 @ 10k OR Sapphire HD5850 1GB GDDR5 @ 15k
Benq G2420HD @ 10k
CM Elite 334 @ 2.2k
Corsair VX550 @ 5k
Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 @ 1.1k
Logitech MX 518 @ 1.5k
RantoPad H3 Silk Gliding – Dark Woods @ .6k
L.G. SATA DVD-Writer @ 1.1k

As you can see i agree with krishnandu.sarkar in most of the hardware.I dont know how you come up with these great configurations

Well this thread has made me realize that in mid range rigs AMD performs the best. I Made a big mistake by sticking with the inel core 2 duo for my PC and by suggesting it to you.

Well thank you all for making me realize the true fact

yES YOU ARE RIGHT. Even tough AMD puts up a good fight by giving good performance at a comparitatively a cheap rate it doesn' last much. I mean a simple shock from your PSU can fuse the AMD chip and you will obiously have to spend much more money at a new chip

dude, "A SIMPLE SHOCK FROM PSU" can fuse any chip.... be it intel or amd.... and if you are thinking about heating problems, they have been taken care of long ago.... there is no heating problem or stability issues with amd athlon or phenom 2 series....

it was like a super ROLF. i not sure from where u found such misleading words.

Dude Intel resists to anything much more than AMD. Even tough AMD is cheap at rates its built-quality is comparitatively lower than that of INTEL's

seriously, you just making a joke out of yourself. the build quality of both AMD & Intel products are top notch. much better than the local vegetables u buy.

the processors & GPU (intel makes IGP for now) have to pass through strict testing. thats how if u buy a X4, you should worry after 1year one of the core will vanish or the proccy wil stop suddenly.

so think once before posting rubbish information here. if u got any proof, post it here. we all will be very interested, that proves AMD's quality lower than Intels.

this what i mean. 1 member in Basic Guide Purchase a New System , told AMD is bad. and told AMD hire peoples here to talk against Intel. i not think who entered so much sh** into these peoples mind that AMD is bad. a multinational company. 2nd largest X86 processor manufacturer is bad. total rubbish.

they may have heat issues on some processor (X4 955), but rest of the proccy are best VFM. even only rarely these heat issues been seen.

Well.......Goleon, I must say one thing here, WE ARE NOT FANBOY's. Even I'm using Intel. Look we are are techies / geeks, whatever you say, just decide on product by it's performance, but not by your love / affection.

As of now AMD is much better than Intel, we also used to say AMD comes no close to Core i7, but after release of X4, and by reviews AMD crossed that level too...!!

So what I want to say is just decide my the product's performance not by being a fanboy.

We always see ad's from Intel in TV's and etc but I never see any ad from AMD. Is this the thing that makes you thinking?? Or the dumb shopkeepers 90% of whom doesn't even know about AMD??

Well.....the scenerio has changed now. AMD is rocking the market now.

I think what I was trying to express is clear to you now.

One more thing I would like to say, just answer me one quesiton when do you buy a product what makes you decide to go for that product?? It's performance or anything else??

nice answer krishna :smile:

i'll simply save, if one got the money to spend on the 20k+ Intel proccies, go for it. AMD not yet got any dragon reach that far. but when it comes to sub-10k proccy arena. its AMD-10. Intel-~0.
