Amd phenom2 965 b.e ---> cost close to i5 750.
Msi 790fx g 65 mobo ---> why such a costly mobo? 790FX?
Ram 4 gb 1600 fsb ---> nice
Wireless keyboard mouse ---> +1.
Gpu hd5770 ---> now GPU is midrange.
2 iptical drives
Psu that will handle this with ease... ---> VX550W.

ok i recommend slightly different:

Proccy: Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz @ 5.1k
Mobo: Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4.3k ---> my choice.
MSI 785G-E53 @ 5.5k
Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H @ 5.5k
Biostar TA890GXE @ 6.6k (only if u want SATA3)
Ram: you already chosen.
HDD: you know. not mentioned.
OM: 2 input devices.
PSU: VX550W.
Graphics: Sapphire HD5850.

will fit nicely into your budget. what u say?

Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz @ 5.1k
MSI 785G-E53 @ 5.5k
Sapphire HD5850 1GB GDDR5 @ 15.8k
Corsair 4GB DDR3 1600MHz C9 Titanium @ 5.8k
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB @ 4.2k
Corsair VX550W @ 4.5k


total:- 40.8k.... get biostar Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4.3k to lower the price further.... then should get it all under 40k....

if on really tight budget, then go for hd 5770 @ 10k.... would lower your budget to 35k.... but i suggest you going with above config.... will play all titles with ease....

@sam.shab..i like ur config dude and i consider it but wht is the diff btween phenom 965 and athlon 630..?

Secondly i myself want a 3ghz proccy but do u think this one will b ok and future proof @least 3yrs...'

Rest is fine and i already hav 2*500gb seagate hdd and later add a 1 tb...'

 

[rahul.007]

phenom series has a 6mb l3 cache which athlon series doesn't have.... it comes handy when you are doing heavy decoding stuff.... go for phenom series if you are into that type of work or a heavy overclocker cauz its overclocking potential is far more than athlon(might tough 4ghz with proper cooling).... athlon 2*4 630 would be future proof for 3 years....

965 or 955 same way good for encoding or heavily threaded work. for gaming the performance isn't worth the price. however a HD5850 will have a very very good impact.

using stock cooler, stock voltage X4 630 will cross 3.2Ghz. about futureproofing, mobo is futureproof. support proccy up2 140W. processor should be. 3.2Ghz quad core no joke (once OC'd).

so overall its good for gaming. futureproof also. lets see if other have same opinion as me. however i feel Phenom II X4, even if it got the additional L3 cache, its basically same as Athlon II X4 when it comes to gaming & other multitasking.

diff is about 3.5-4k
and its still future proof

yup. it got no L3 cache still it doesn't stop the Athlon II's give a good fight to they costlier brothers.

 

[Arnab boss]

Agree with u...but if there is no l3 cache then the multitasking will b slow and affect the speed...'

So guys wht abt 955...its 1k less than 965 and still hav all specs...'

Now 955or965 packed with a 790 chipset and a 5770 or 5870 gpu with 4 gb 1600 fsb ram...? Isnt this config is a killer and futurproof as well...'

won't be. to utilize all the 4cores + L3 cache. you must be as Champion Multitasker. for day to day multitasking 3 cores enough. L3 cache will help only if encode or do heavy threaded apps.

yah it'll be killer combo but will ask for a killer premium also

 

[Arnab boss]

In that case...should i opt for athlon combo and add hd 5850 with the money i saved...!

Secondly wht psu shld fut in vx450 or vx550...and in near future if i add another hd5850 in xfire...then will this handle it...'

i'll suggest X4 630. any 785G mobo supporting 140W processor (u may wish put in an Phenom II X6 in future). HD5850. VX550W. 450W will also do but the rest of the hardware may not get adequate amount of power.

also for crossfire you need 790X, 790GX, 790FX or 890GX mobo. cost more. better 1 single card solution. Crossire not very efficient like SLI. also 2*HD5850 will need something like TX650W.

yup.... hd 5850 is a great card and you wouldn't need any xfire.... better go with athlon *4 630 and save money for thuban(amd phenom II*6).... then it would be a killer rig....
