Your config will support the games you mentioned but @ 1024*768 with low to medium graphics setting.

graphics cards are compared based on directX/shader model version supports ( Like DX10 and shader model 4 ), architecture & series ( like ATI HD 4xxx series or Nvidia's 9xxx series ) and what kind of ram they uses ( ( GDDR3 or GDDR5 or DDR2 ) and their bandwidth and number of shaders in a particular series

i was just looking around in the gaming forum and really seem to know what you are saying, so id like to ask you if the following configuration will support highend games like crysis, COD : MW2, Batman Arkham Asylum, dragon age : origins etc.
will this conifguration support any high end games, if yes then suggest some games and if not suggest upgrades

PROCESSOR : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 ghz
RAM : 3 GB DDR2
GRAPICS CARD: ati radeon hd 2600 xt

also on what basis are graphics cards compared?

though frontec doesn't makes psu you can compare with other branded psus a 800W psu should be able to handle a 9600GT just fine. BTW, can you mention the ampere rating of the +12V ( rail ) of the PSU. It should be atleast 18A or above.

If your friend wants to buy a psu later then he should get corsair VX450W Rs. 4K, CoolerMaster Extreme Power Plus 460W Rs. 2.5K, Zebronics 500W pure platinum Rs. 1.5K or colorsit 450W Rs. 1k - see what suits his budget

Hey buddy, one of my friend is going for a new 9600 GT, but he has 800 watt frontech psu. Any chance of running that gpu with that PSU ? And he has a budget not more than 5,200-500. So I fear he wouldn't be able to buy a new psu. Anyway even if the psu can run it what should be his choice on brand ?

What do you exactly want to know ? Do you want to know which brand is selling 9600GT with 512MB DDR3 for 5.5K. Then get any of those like palit or sparkle or zotac. I don't know if any company is selling 9600GT with 2 games & I also don't know if any company is selling a 9600GT with 1GB ddr3 ram for Rs. 6K. I would recomend palit 9600GT with 512MB GDDR3 ram edition is is only Rs. 5.5K.

Hey Topgear the 9600 GT 512mb with 2 games is for rs 5500 and the 1 gb version is for rs 5999 let me know

thanks a lot for all the info man....

hey thanks a lot for the prompt reply man. Just a doubt, you havnt specified any hard disk and graphics card ? which one do you think would be good?

Proc - Intel e7300 Rs. 5.5K
Mobo - MSi P35 Neo F Rs. 4.4K
Cabinet - Zebronics Bijli Rs. 1.1K W/O PSU
SMPS - CoolerMaster 460W Extreme Power Plis PSU Rs. 2.5K
Sound Card - Inbuilt Into mobo
Ram - 2x 1Gb Transcend DDR2 800Mhz Rs. 1.2K
Palit 9600Gt 512MB DDR3 Rs. 5.7K

Total Rs. 20400

Full system upgrade

I need to upgrade my current desktop. I just need to change the CPU unit. I already have the DVD-RW, speakers etc.
Basically want to change
a. Processor (Intel only)
b. Motherboard (with LAN card)
c. CPU cabinet & SMPS

Would I easily get the above products at Lamington Road Mumbai?
Please help me out. Thanks.

Hi,

Could you suggest where to get Palit 9600GT 512MB DR3 for Rs.5700/- as you suggested.
I have asked local dealer, he said Rs.7800/- for Zebronics 9600GT 1gb (and zeb 8800GT 512mb @8675/-). Asus 9600GT 768 mb @ 7175/- (8600 GT 512 mb @4375/-)

Thanks,
