Need Motherboard and processor for 10k with good onboard graphics

[karthik55859]

I sold my old PC and about to buy an new one mostly for gaming,,

I have decided on these

1 GB transcend DDR2 533
160 GB HDD
17" Flat Monitor
Cabinet, mouse and Keyboard

I am left with Rs 10,000/- to select mother board and processor
I can add +1000 but not more than that

I am not buying Graphics card now,,

So please guide me to choose the motherboard with best onboard graphics and decent processor

should i go for AMD or Intel?

check my signature...............the combo i use comes under 10k n is worth every buck u pay. Run carbon at 30 fps with th onboard thing

Wouldn't Amd X2 3800+ be better?

[codename_romeo]

amd x2 3800 may be better.........but then i dont think we can find a mobo supporting X2 with ati chipset...even if we do then price will shoot above 10k(i think so)

I heard Intel 965 got good onboard graphics,
__________
how much does 965 and core 2 deo cost???

[mehulved]

The lowest of core2duo will cost about 8.5-9K only for the processor itself. So, think about it only if you are willing to extend you budget to 15K and beyond.

I would also recomend this processor & mobo combination for the said budget. No one has got better onboard graphics than ATI as on this board. Intel onboard graphics are Sh..i..t

[rahul_becks23]

isnt an amd sol. a viable sol. right now for budget users

Check out this board. Gigabyte DS3. Awsome with onboard graphics. But would cross your budget a bit if combined with C2D. But would give a lethal combination.

Get a X2 3800+ along with a onboard 6100 mobo .. i think MSI K9NGM2 is one ..

[karthik55859]

Should I Go for Intel pentium D processor or AMD athlon X2 3600+

Core 2 Duo is bit expensive so cant buy

Man go for the Intel processor even if it means sticking to low end one..... HT, or D will not matter much........
And Yeah GGC2 board is very good..... I have one too..........
-------------------------------------------------------------------
My defense for Intel .... AMD guys no offense (I too agree that AMD processors are far more superior than intel proceesors when it comes to price, performance ratio) but my point is ever try go selling a AMD processor and Board,, Guys the second hand market frowns at the AMD stuff and jumps at Intel Stuff..........What i can Say the publicity department of intel is doing a really good job......... and their product is in demand even in second hand market and DUDE something tells me that sooner than later you are gonna go for upgrade......... If you wanna stick to your stuff for a lifetime (computers and not yours......say 3 years or 2) then it will not matter AMD or intel both will be ready for garbage bin........... In that case AMD will be a better deal.....

Peace

Go for x2 3600 . . Very good . . It does all my 3d work splendidly well . Any onboard one. You can always upgrade the graphics card .
