Go for a branded PSU. You wont be able to run the 9800GTX properly on local PSUs..

my question why go for outdated/expensive 9800gtx which is simply costly and HD4850 a 9.7k card can beat it everywhere ....

BTW how much u are getting it for ...if its around 15k ..simply go for ..HD4870 for 17k one the most VFM card u can ever get ...it will beat 9800gtx to death

never even think about running a 9800gtx level card with local PSU ...ur monitor will not get any display in all probability ...so u need a good and Vx450 is very good infact best in that price range ! which will give u constant power a gfx card needs ..

if u go for an ATI card like HD4870 or perhaps a HD4850 ...then u can go for Asus P5Q for 8k ..or for ASUS P5Q pro for 8.5k ......if u want to crossfire ...

Go with corsair psu .. forget local psu if u r/will-be using 9800gtx/4850

Go for the Palit HD4850
Go for ASUS P5Q or MSI P45 Neo F
The MSI board costs just Rs 5.5K. But the P5Q is better.
Always go for a branded PSU. Other PSUs don't deliver the power according to the rating.

Think about it........... MSI P45 Neo-F and ASUS P5Q are both P45 based mobos. Both have around the same features and same performance. Both are awesome OC'ers. Both have very good features. Both are VFM. So why spend 2k more for a marginal performance difference ?? But if he really wants to spend all of that 8k then I cant argue that ASUS P5Q is an awesome board.

I was suggesting VFM.

BTW, go for Corsair VX450W or CM EP 600W.

That is bcoz VX450W will require a Sine Wave UPS. If you dont have a Sine Wave UPS then you will have to use your PC without a UPS. So if you dont have a sine wave UPS and dont want to buy one, go for CM EP 600W.

I run my PC without a UPS as there literally no power-cuts here .

[acewin]

same as KPower I say, because when thingking of UPS APC makes you cry. 650VA in around 3K and 800VA in around 5.2K, saving money does matter.

[realdan]

first he need to tell people here what UPS he has or what he intends to buy before putting that as a consideration for the budget

[VarDOS]

instead of zotac 9800GTX go for Palit HD4850.

and get MSI P45 Neo F mobo.

No local PSU for you

MSI P45-NEO F @ 5.8k is best bet

Does MSI P45 Neo-F has PCI-E 2 slot??

It has a PCI E gen2 x16 slot. Or if you mean to ask if it has 2 of these slots, no it has only 1 slot.

He meant PCI-e x16 2.0 which the P45 Neo-F has.
