[Jaskanwar Singh]

you wont everything thats in the cabinet???..
then my suggestion save up some more dont waste 8k.

[funkysourav]

c'mon yaar,
surely something is possible!!
how about the athlonIIx2 245
and compatible am2+mobo in 5k for starters?
write the lowliest config that crosses your mind!!
dont include the dvd writer and the caby itself(hopefully they can be reused)

Help me out here man!!

[Jaskanwar Singh]

trying hard......
which psu you got???....
leave hdd also

[funkysourav]

i wont waste money on the psu
i will put any generic 400w psu the dealer shows me in 400-500 bucks

p.s. 9400 gt 512 mb costs 2500 bucks!

[Jaskanwar Singh]

ok this will do--

Athlon II X2 240 2.8GHz @ 2.8k
Biostar A780L3 @ 2.6k
2GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 2.5k
Palit GF9500GT 512MB DDR-II @ 2.7k

Total - 10.6k

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

a 300w psu will be more than enough...

[funkysourav]

i dont need ddr3
ddr2 will suffice
any chance getting a cheaper ddr2 mobo ?

Memory - kingston 512 MB/1 GB DDR2 RAM Stick - 900

PSU - ANYTHING thats square & has wires comming from end of it. (supercom dont-kno-what-volt-warrantyless-hazardous power supply unit) @ 400
GPU - NA / XFX 8400 GS (450 Mhz) @ 1800 last i checked
CABINET - NOT REQUIRED /keep it at open/cover it with cardboard box/ steal one from nearby computer acadamy.
(anything u can get cheap for 500 bucks)
keyboard-mouse- steal one from nearby computer acadamy / buy anything thats under 600 rupees.

TOTAL - 8800 (INCLUDING the keyboard-mice-cabinet you couldnt steal)

[Jaskanwar Singh]

man i seriously laughed
damn i cant get more than 10k

i am going to rob the nearest bank in my town!!
who's with me?
jas can i count you in on my little plan?

[toad_frog09]

What i gave is the perfect way to flush 8k down the toilet.

If i were your brother, i'd slap you.
Say what, use that 8k to make a 6 months all time account at a cyber cafe, & use their pc. Shift your bed & stuff & all.

Other opinion, rent a pc for 8k. (or cheaper)

*buy second/third hand rig.

*admit your self in some sort of yoga/military camp for 6 months

* get a cell phone & use crappy gprs to download at .2kbps.

*steal

* (please insert some funny suggestion here)

really dude, i am about to a buy a gpu costlier than that.
Ppl have psu @ 10k.

Please, save your money to save that regret ur gonna have later.

@ toad_frog

best is drop that card. get 2Gb DDR2 & a 785G mobo.

[toad_frog09]

@jaz, i kno sir, but dude, i took it as challenge...8k..nothing more.
Wel he says he has an nvidia 9xxx g-card.
So thats saved.
Btw, that rig can run gta-san andreas at mid.
What more can you expect from a 8k rig.
Altho, this post is awesum, challenging..but awesum...

now this is what i am talking about jas
hey, just a thought
do you think the ati hd 4200 igp would be able to handle half lfe ep2
doom 3, fallout 3 at my screen resolution of 1024x768?
if yes, then i can cut on the discrete graphics
this is just a temporary solution for 6-7 months
i am not going to play crysis for the matter!!
just some old timers between 2004 and 2008

thanks jas
you seriously rock man!!

[aby geek]

that pentium rig will give you 5000 fps in crysis 2 , but the thing is that it will all be after the decimal.
