Temp Rig for 10k

[SenthilAnandh]

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 . But suggestions are welcome. Thanks

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

I need,

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

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

for 10 k and ur usage ...i will suggest ...

1) dual core proc (intel or amd) -- AMD X2 4600+ ----2700
2) Intel or Amd motherboard -- Jetway 780 G mobo ---3500
3) 2 GB ram (only 1000 rs ) 1000
4) Graphics card ----- u wont need any --0000
5) hard disk WD 160 GB 1800
6) Cabinet. Zebronics Krissh 1100

with this config ... u can play Crysis at 1024 X 768 with medium-low settings ....

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

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
