^^ come on. He wants to play games. and he want a config with video card under 23k.

I would say:

1) E8400: 8.5k or E7200 : 6k
2) MSI P45 Neo-F: 5k
3) Transcend/Kingston two 2GB sticks : 700 bucks each
4) Palit HD4850: 9.5k
5) Corsair VX450 PSU: 3k

I HAVE 23K FOR PRO+MOBO+RAM
i alredy have palit HD4850 and antec EA650 watts psu.

Go for Quad core processor. It wil be beneficial in the long term. Most of the new games are being optimised for Quad cores. There's no use of a fast dual core as most of the work is done by the gfx card. If u ask me i'll suggest this:
Processor-> Q8200- 10k
Mobo-> MSI P45 NEO2 FR-8.3k
RAM->Get Corsair 2x2GB in dual channel.-2.2k

[desiibond]

in that case, just wait another month!!!!

Haven't you read his 1st post Read before you post
Though it's long I've read it thoroughly

C4 rams performs better in memory intensive tasks line gaming than value c5 rams.

& where in the the earth you're getting 2GB sticks for only Rs. 700.
Can you give me some address or links.

I've bought transcend 2GB 800Mhz stick for Rs. 1075 this month.

He aleady own HD4850 and Antec 650w psu.

^^ow. you are correct. My mistake. And correction for the RAM price too. sorry, posted in a hurry.

Anyways. I think it's better to wait for a month or two if you want to spend 25k on proccy mobo and RAM.
