Click to expand...

Phenom costs 8k at itwares + shipping charges Rs. 80 = Rs. 8,080 at theitwares.com

Regarding mobo, do u want gigabyte's 785g based mobo or Asus M4A785TD-V EVO ? Because I don't see any product by the name of GA-785G-v-evo

@ ichi - Many modern games supports physx and it indeed has some eye candy effects when you play a game with physx support.

But as physX is eye candy thing which adds some special effects here and there in the game some people like it and some don't - so if you want physx effects in a game or not is entirely your call.

if you're want to enjoy physX and planning for SLi then nothing can beats2x GTX 460 in SLi config. Just get get 2x GTX 460 768 MB edition and those 1.5 GB of GDDR5 mem should be more than enough for any game.

if you can bag them around 26k that would be great.

If you don't care much about physX then 2x HD 5850 in a CF config around 31k is another option which you can consider - it's 15-20% fast in most games and the power consumption is also a little less ( 10W ! )

So if you want SLi and physX eye candy and CUDA as a added bonus ( it has great video encoding speed and a large app suport ) then 2x GTX 460 768 MB is what I recommend to you.

BTW, keep in mind that you will need a good PSu like corsair Tx 650 for this sli setup anyway :p

Correction for my last post on previous page : there is no point in going for a GTX 465 - just ditch GTX 465.

GTX 460 768MB x2 seems the right deal for me. First I'll get one and then one month later get the 2nd card as I will tight on budget. Will get Corsair TX 650.

Which brand should I go for? Heard Palit and Zotac are too hot to handle.

Your first choice should be Evga - their GTX 460 768MB edition just looks too good.

The other brands you can try is MSi and Gigabyte.

if you can't find any of these then opt for zotac.

What The.... !!!
check this out guys!!
1tb 6.0gbps wd hdd available at newegg for 94$!!!
Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

its an amazing deal in my opinion
the guys with sata 3.0(6.0gbps) support in their mobo have a reson to rejoice finally!! :-D
the sata 3.0 hdds are much faster than the top of the line expensive ssds which are bottlenecked by their sata 2.0 intergace

you ain't got to worry abt your cpu dude
its friggin awesome!! :-O
and make that 4 years if you manage to upgrade your graphics card in the 2nd or 3rd year with a similar priced one
two years from now cards similar to 5970 or 5990 will go for peanuts(read 5-6k)!! :-D

btw i just read somewhere that you ought to keep negative air pressure inside your cabby
so that the heat produced is immediately sucked up outside
something like:-
a very powerful 120mm fan as intake and less powerful 2-3 80mm fans as exhaust!
i may be terribly wrong about this
feel free to correct me :-D

how much does the corsair vs 1333mhz 4gb(2x2gb) cost now?
how much is the difference in its ddr2 version?(afaik there's no performance difference between ddr2 and ddr3)

@sourav, i feel that deal is a bad one. cause just giving a slow HDD more bandwidth won't make it fast. won't repeat the highway example. just know Sata II or traditional HDDs have there limit at 3Gbps. to achieve 6Gbps they'll need spin at lackluster speed. will blew up the HDD. so its just a Sata II with Sata III capabilities, i feel. plz correct me if i wrong.

about exhaust, one good ratio is 3:2. keep 3 fan as intake, 2 as exhaust. all at same size, same speed. also a little bit of common sense & pc will have good ventilation. & yes it'll follow your "negative air pressure" rule.

Expect to pay around ~2.3k for 2GB 1333 MHz DDR3 from Transcend.

DDR2 and DDR3 has enough performance difference - though you need a core i7 with x58 mobo :p
