plz tell first that u wanna keep this mobo and need a new procie or A complete new System? coz AMD cpus won't fit on ur existing mobo.

And moreover this is in the wrong section. Requesting the mods to move it to the hardware section.

yeah u might be able to get FX-60 shipped from outside...

and it will not cost u too much... i mean if u get a X2 3800+ or X2 4400+ shipped from outside it costs roughly the same as here...

just let us know ur budget etc and we can help u decide

i guess his budget is around 1.5 to 2 lakh INR

coz AMD FX 60 procee costs approx 1000 $$$ in the US. so u can easily guess what the price would be in INR. and since he is going for an extreme rig the mobo would be a top end ASUS SLI mobo, atleast 2 GB of PATRIOT RAM, 2 X 7900 GTX cards, atleast 2 WD 74GB Raptor HDD, ANTEC cabinet and true power PSU, a 19" LCD/TFT monitor, an APC UPS etc. all high end parts.

ATI X1900XT in crossfire mode, you may say. But I strongly recommend Nvidia 7800/7900 series.

So my reco will be:

AMD FX-57 / 4800+ X2
Asus A8N-SLI premium
Nvidia 7900GT/GTX (not sure whether available in India, other 7800GTX)
2GB corsair RAM in dual channel mode

Other components depending on budget, but this is the core. Man, I dream to have that kind of money some day. Seems like he has won a lottery...hehe...
