I want the PC to be future proof! If it means increasing my budget a little I'm ready for it! So don't you guys think Quad processors are better than E8400?

my dear friend nothing is future proof....anything is good for 1 and half years which u buy now...because computer hardware market change rather unexpectedly when new and better products comes ...

3 months ago i though getting 8800gt will make me future proof and today i stand ...with HD4850 which is about 30% faster than 8800gt ....

so buy the system that it will be good enough for 2 years ...and thats the maximum limit of saying future proof in computer hardware!

Ok... Please help me with graphics card then... I have decided to go for E8400. Is ATI HD4850 the best option? or the nVidia 9600GTX a better buy?

whats 9600gtx ..?? as far as i know nvidia has 9800gtx and they will cost u more than 15k ..as its old model ....now coming to nvidia's new offering 9800gtx+ which is supposed to compete with HD4850 (which beats 9800gtx cards by fair margin)...costs minimum 12.5k ...and that too if u get that prices...at the place where u live ...which in all certainity will be difficult to get.

now HD4850 performs almost equally to 9800gtx+ but costs 2k less ...u should be able to get it for 10.5k now ....which makes the card value for money ...so i would go for HD4850 anyday....

Checked all the scores... the 8800 Ultra beats the Radeon HD4850 in all the tests!!!

I live in Pune, and i went to many shops today to get the price listings. But unfortunately was very disappointed in what i got in response. All the shop keepers said no biostar, no abit and no msi mobo available in Pune. Only Intel original or Asus mobos. Moreover they quoted the price of HD4850 512MB at Rs. 14,300 and 1GB at Rs. 17,100. They have never heard of Corsair PSU. What do i do now?
