plz comment

get HD4670 512Mb. performance diff between 1Gb & 512Mb not worth it. better get HD5670 or even 9600GT or GTS 250. & DON'T GET CM EXTREME POWER. heard too many bad comments about it. instead get Gigabyte 460W or even Seasonic 380W is good unit provided u can upp ur budget a bit.

get some other PSU. if needed get HD5670 512Mb. don't compromise on PSU. try hard to get Seasonic 380W. absolutely silent & efficient. VIP is good still keep it as last option. Gigabyte 460W is good too. silent than most PSU's & efficient.

Graphic Card : MSI GTS 250 512MB @6.2k
PSU: Gigabyte 80 Plus Active PFC 460W @ 2.4k

taxes extra. ok so if the total goes over ur budget, change the following:

Processor: Athlon II X4 620 2.8GHz @ 4.5k
Motherboard: Biostar based board. look at bottom for the names.
Ram: Transcend 2 X 2Gb DDR3-1333Mhz C9: Rs. 5.5k
Hard Disk: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500Gb @ 2.2k
Cabinet: Zebronics Reaper: 1.6k (more fans & looks cool)
Graphic Card: MSI GTS 250 512MB @6.2k
PSU: FSP Saga II 400W @ 2.1k

Mobo: TA785G3 HD, TA790GXB3, TA785G3+: all wil cost below 5k. u should find atleast 1 of these. don't decrease ram nor compromise on PSU.

I agree with sam.shab on the modifications...
however...i would insist that u go with corsair/gskill/kingston RAM instead of Transcend.....transcend rma policy is too bad...read abt this in techenclave...cant remember the thread

[gokugohan23]

the platform is solid & highly upgradeable. for mobo get Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4.2-4.4k if possible. better than most other sub 5k motherboards.

[gokugohan23]

i currently have IBALL P4 522 CABINET WITH SMPS
so is it possible that i can haave this config in this cabby and change only psu??

also all latest games will run on this config right..not full resolution..but medium resolution?

u may if the PSU fits in there. but my suggestion, if u change ur rig, change it fully. get something good like CM Elite 310, or other. or maybe NZXT Gamma. & fit it with 2-3 extra fans.

GTS 250 should run all games at full resolution @ full HD resolution except crysis. for crysis u should own the details level a bit. else it may get a bit slow.

[gokugohan23]

i have this config in mind
Processor: Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz @ 5.1k
Motherboard: MSI 785GM-E51 @ 4.6k
Ram: Transcend 2 X 2Gb DDR3-1333Mhz C9: Rs. 4.4k
Hard Disk: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB @ 4k
Cabinet : Cooler Master Elite 310 @ 1.5k
Graphic Card : MSI GTS 250 512MB @5.8k (maybe more)
PSU: Gigabyte 80 Plus Active PFC 460W @ 2.2k

but my dealer is suggesting me this config

Intel Core i5 750
GA-P55M-UD2
Transcend 4GB DDR3
WD 500GB
CM Elite 310
Gigabyte Superb 460W
MSI GTS 250 512MB

which is better for 30k ??

definitely the i5 rig. but my suggestion, instead of getting the i5, u get X4 620/630 or even maybe X2 555BE. & invest the rest of the money in graphics. the money saved wil surely get u HD5770 which is a very good card for the price.

& for board, plz avoid getting the cheapest possible board. i telling for the AMD rig. try & get ECS 785G board should will cost 4.8k. its much much better than the MSI.
