Is your budget of 40-50k without the monitor or speakers ? Seems obviously so from your post, but I wanted to make sure before I or anyone else come up with suggestions. (Some people do get careless with their wording and make silly misleading posts

Go for AMD64 - best for gaming and multimedia!!!! 8)

By the way in multimedia if r going to do encoding and that stuff then go for intel, but mind u intel will cost u a bomb

By my considerations go for AMD64 3000+ (939 socket)

A good mobo - (other freaks here will help u in that )

A pcie 6600GT graphics card or something powerful like that

AMD 64 3200+ 9.6k
Asus A8N Sli 12k
Trancend 1Gb 6k
Seagate 160Gb SATA 5k
Creative SB Live 5.1 sndcard - 2k
XFX/Leadtek 6600GT - 10.5k

Total = 45k Later on you can go with another 6600GT and SLI it and get squeeze more performance outta it. Or else get a 6800GT but its gonna cost you arnd 25k.

AMD 64 3200+ 9.6k
Asus A8V - 8k
Trancend 1Gb 6k
Seagate 160Gb SATA 5k
Creative SB Live 5.1 sndcard - 2k
XFX/Leadtek 6800GT - 24k
Total = 54k

This one will be a uber |337 gaming rig for quite some time

I'd take the A8N-SLI if i were you.It's more future proof.

[akshayt]

you can compromise on hd if you wish

[mAYHEM]

Yes the budget is 40-50k.Plz make sure the machine is future proof for atleast 1year.
blade_runner your given config is good,but i have stereo speakers so i think i dont need 5.1 ch sound card.So i can spend more money on motherboard,hard disk,Graphic card is fine

Yeah the a8v will get you through this one year easily. Get the 6800Gt for better performance.

[akshayt]

but if you don't play on higher than 1280 or 1024*768,then geforce 6600gt will do you satisfactory performance,though it will sure loose to g6800gt

[angira]

for gaming and multimedia the amd athelon pc is
best
