Help for PC Upgrade..!!

[dinesh_ddt]

Hey Guys,

I have a P4(3Ghz),512MB RAM & Intel D915 Motherboard
I'm Thinking of upgrading my PC to
A Core 2 Duo Processor and a 2GB RAM.
Now, Im confused about selecting the Motherboard and Graphics Card.

My Budget can't exceed 10k.
Can you provide your options???
I want my PC to run Vista(with all features) and play games decently..

XFX MG63Mi7159
Intel C2D E2180
Transcend 2GB 800Mhz RAM
ASUS 8600GT PCI Express

This will cost you around 10K. You can OC this proccy on this mobo to upto 3 Ghz (with stock cooling, no voltage increment), though maybe you should stay safe and OC it upto 2.6 Ghz. And Vista will have no problems with this setup.

Note: This mobo supports only single channel RAM. And you can't use long gfx cards with this board.

core2duo-2.4GHz-cost around 5.6k
RAM-Dynite-2GB-1.8k
go for genuine intel motherboard series........i don recommend biostar...
remember one thing whether ur RAM model anf frequency/speed is supported by the motherboard u buy.......that imp

this will come to around 8-9k wihtout graphics card.........but sufficient to run vista smoothly

Never heard of Dynite
And without a gfx card, Vista will be strained, and gaming on Vista will be impossible.
