You can get a good athlon config in this ..

Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2.6GHz 2MB L2 cache
ASUS P5N SLI NVIDIA nForce® 570 SLI™1333 FSB
xfx nvidia geforce 8600GT ddr3 256 mb

it will be in or around 16k mark ...
intel may get a little high for ur end...

Even an intel wud do

 

[s18000rpm]

intel cd e4500 - less than Rs.5k
XFX 8600gt - 5.1k
motherboard -
Intel DG33FB 1333 FSB =Rs. 4750
ABit I-N73HD GeForce 7100/nForce 630i 1333 FSB = Rs.4100/- (overclockable, i guess)


RAM (if you dont have/upgrade) - 2GB-DDR2 - 667 MHZ - PC5300 =Rs.2100

so can i play all the latest games with high settings????

^^With 8600GT? Well you cant play ALL games at HIGHEST settings... If you want to play all the latest games at the highest possible settings then you can buy an 8800GT which costs 12-15k.

what about smps?

 

[nvidia]

450-500W SMPS will be enough depending on your computer config.

ntel cd e4500 - less than Rs.5k
XFX 8600gt - 5.1k
motherboard -
Intel DG33FB 1333 FSB =Rs. 4750
ABit I-N73HD GeForce 7100/nForce 630i 1333 FSB = Rs.4100/- (overclockable, i guess)

This would be the config, should i go for a 500W one?

have you thought of buying ATI HD 3550 ? It costs ~1.5K more than an 8600GT(so its around 6k) but it is DirectX 10.1 compatible and much better than an 8600GT.

HD 3550 is DX10.1 card! Commendable performer, i say! On the other hand, 8600GT is an amazing overclocker and considering its VFM, it is best option available to budget gamerz! And yeah, HD3850 will easily crush both 8600GT and 8600GTS! And btw, 8600GTS is more of a dudd s%^t piece than a GPU! I get 18-23FPS at average with all settings very high and Natural Mod! GPU Clocks are 725/930 24x7 !! One more thing, go for a motherboard brands like Asus and MSI! They provide extensive support via forums, regular updates and loads of features! And yes, avoid P5N-E SLI! I have this mobo and it suffers badly with heating and RAM issues!!
MSI P35 Diamond/ Combo/ Platinum should be the optimal choice!
