so does that mean 750 is no more in the market?

[Faun]

You can get it but the new default is 760 now.

no no even the one part i didn't buy.....i have to buy whole setup once...that's why i m waiting

[mavihs]

just want to know some more thing before i recommend a config!
are you working or studying Animation?
which all apps are you going to be using i.e. Maya, 3D Max, etc?
Which render are you going to be using i.e. Mental Ray, etc?
which part are you specialized/specializing in i.e. light, texturing, rigging, etc?

no. X6 1055T will cost you close to 10k or maybe tad more but as mentioned 3D & animation, it'll be better for you. also socket is not LGA1156. but AM3. but i don't think it matters much. just change as mavihs suggested. go with retiers suggestion if you want a old, bad & costly (totally out of balance) config. so for motherboard, get something based on 880G or 870X or 890GX based one. features more than the ones you get on the LGA1156 motherboards at lesser pricing.

PS: this is the minimum you should go for, for a decent performance!

ok let me edit your config:

Processor: Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz @ 10-11k
Motherboard: lets take a basic one. Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-US2H @ 4.5-5k.
Ram: Corsair 2X2Gb DDR3-1333Mhz Value @ ~5k
Graphics Card: -
PSU: Corsair VX450W @ 3.6-4k
Cabinet: Cooler Master Elite 310 @ 1.5k
Hard Drive: Wester Digital 500Gb Blue @ 2k

Total: 26.6-28.5k.

whats left?

Monitor: get a 20" from Benq or Dell @ 6.5-7k (22" will affect the whole config)
Keyboard-mouse: Logitech @ 0.7k
OM: DVD writer (any) @ 1k
UPS: APC 1Kva @ not know. say 4k (can go for 650VA @ 3k)

Total: 12.2-12.7k

Grand Total: 38.8k-41.2k.

so you left with an extra 16.2-13.8k (14-16k). now as i not have much about Pro Cards, so i think mavihs or someone else can recommend the card.

PS: i think this config not bad if it gets the work done for OP without causing any problems like overheating or unable to accomodate the card well.

from ur suggestiions now i selected

processor: amd phenom II x6 1055t-------11,500
mobo: biostar ta89gxe -----------6500
gpu: msi geforce gtx470 graphic card---13000
ram: corsair 2x2----------------------4800

hdd : wd blue-------------2000
keb&mouse: 700
writer: lg ------------------1100
ups: microtech 1 k---------3000


total isapprox----------------57,000....ho about this?

[Faun]

change the UPS to APC. 1 k costs around 4.7k.

[rajan1311]

i just saved u Rs 1000

CPU | Mobo | Ram : AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban 2.8GHz - 10500/- Shipped

also, GTX 470 is not 13k, its the GTX 460 768MB version which is 12k, which is a decent choice, but i doubt it helps in rendering apps, mavihs?

your pricing is way off! 1055T - 10.5K, RAM is going to cost you around 6K & Corsair SMPS going to cost you a lot more around 7K the one you have listed above!
Don't go for Elite 310 & GTX470 you'll have huge temp probs! rather go for Elite 430 & GTX460!

GTX460 1GB version is for 14K!
its going to help in Viewport & AfterEffect! Also soon there are GPU based render coming from mental images(the creator of mental ray)! the first version which is going to come out will be CUDA based, after that which comes out will be OpenCL based!

Edited!

[rajan1311]

i dont see how you can all the difference in performance huge...? any benchmarks?
