As last post, with the help this forum brothers I bought:

New N95 8Gb US unlocked:D:cool:

-----------------------------------------

Now comes the PC UPGRADE.:)

A small problem, I came a little short on my budget.Which makes me go for either upgrades:

Setup A)
1. E8400/E8500 INTEL C2D 3.00GHZ.
2. Ati HD 4850 512Mb.

Or get a low price model. Please see my below specs....

Intel Pentium D (Dual Core) 3.00 GHz With Ring Heatsink Fan Cooler
Intel D945 GCNL MOBO with a PCX slot.
2 X 1Gb Kingston DDR2 RAM @ 667Mhz
400W generic PSU
LG Optical Combo drive CD/CD-R/CD-RW/DVD
2 X HD 160 Gb SeaGate 7500RPM
Apocalpyse X400 Custom MOD Case with 2 Aftermarket Fans

I hav a question the if I only get HD 4850, will it run 100% even with a 500W Cooler master Extreme Power Plus and Pentium D dual core 3.00GHz processor?

Help!

thanks in advance

or E7200 and already available 9600GT, check for Palit's Sonic Edition.

sorry mate do not prices in Pak Ruppees.

what are these 2 X HD 160 Gb SeaGate 7500RPM
Are you planning to run HDDs on RAID. If not you can easily get higher capacity HDDs like 500GB and all.

Tell us what hardware you already got.
