ok...here is an option

GA-K8N51GMF-9 Motherboard - 4.4 K
AMD 64 3000+ - 5.8 K

with the motherboard u will get integrated 6200 (enought to play all the games at fairly decent resolution) + SATA II + firewire +gigabit lan + 7.1 Audio + PCI express slot if u need to upgrade ur graphics card later.

ur option is also good, actually i said that i dont want to change my procc cause i thought it will exceed my budget but if it is within my budget then i wont mind.

but i.ve heard that there are heating and pc shutting down probs with AMD proc , is it true?
if not then this is good option as i can have PCI X card later on.

its better to get rid of old processor/mobo.
and the motherboard i have suggested @ anytime better than MSI Rs480 bcoz the one i advised is based on nforce4 chipset, prob best for amd procs and the integrated nvidia 6200 GPU is superior than ati GPU.

rite now iam using Athlon XP 2600+ throughbed core(much older). it runs @ 60-70C but never hangs. I suppose AMD 64 shud run around 40C so there shud be no heating issue. I had a plan to go for 6600 GPU for my 8x agp with some 8k money. But convinced now to go for an cpu/mobo with pci x so that i can upgrade it later on, prob next year with much more powerful GPu instead of upgrading a dated agp technology.

@digitised: The vendor did tell me it has a PCI express slot . Also check out this link, this seems to be a new motherboard

*www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=682

Apart from PCI express is there any other advantage for the socket 939.

Also opinion on RS482vsRS480
Click to expand...

goin for a 939 pin will give u some edge on proc intensive applications

but i dont think digitized was right
the 754 mobo's have pcie support

so it is for u to decide which pin to go for
i suggest the 939 coz it is cost effective
and for the mobo
go for the MSI rs480m2-il (939 pin)
cost = 4500 bucks

go for LG in terms of the monitor

and Sony or more preferably Benq for the DVD riter !!!
Click to expand...

Well, I will have to check which socket 754 motherboards have a PCI-express slot.

Guys, I bought a system for my friend today.
Have a look at it & tell me your views on it.
Budget was strictly around Rs.50,000
This is not for a serious gamer.
Its only for playing occasional games, hence the LCD monitor & the Leadtek 6600 non GT.

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ ... Rs.5650
Motherboard: ASUS A8N-E ... Rs.6150
Ram: Transcend 512MB * 2 (400 MHz) ... Rs.4100
Hard disc: Seagate 80GB SATA ... Rs.2850
Graphics card: Leadtek 6600 256MB ... Rs.5600
Floppy drive: ... Rs.250
Optical drive: Sony DVD RW ... Rs.2900
Sony DVD Drive ... Rs.1300

Monitor: 17" LCD Sony SDMS75A ... Rs.14600
( It has a response time of 12ms & I know about the Samsung 713N, but this thing looked better when fixed up & comes with an On Site Warranty, includes backlight and 3 year ZERO DEAD PIXEL Warranty)

Keyboard,Mouse: Microsoft ... Rs.1700
Speakers: Creative Inspire 5.1 ... Rs.4100
UPS: APC 500 VA ... Rs.1900
Cabinet: iBall ... Rs.1300

Total cost Rs 52,000/-

a DVD riter and a DVD drive why ???
and sony is not my choice
Benq or LiteOn would hav been better

and the response time of the LCD should have 8ms
(i still prefer the 19 inch CRT to save the moolah !!!)

u could hav saved the 1300 bucks on the DVD drive for a 3200+ instead
in any case u crossed the not so strict 50k barrier

Overall a good choice for 50k

if i am eligible to rate it i would give 8.5 on 10

The system usage involves frequent CD-CD writing jobs.. hence both drives.

If it were for a gamer the 19" CRT would be great, it costs around 11k.
The warranty thing & my opinion towards the Sony brand attracted me towards it.

take a vip cabinet..but make sure u don't take its power supply and put a powersafe 400W PSU....vip and powersafe both are by kunhar...but the PSU in cabinets are of no match to that sold separately....powersafe is best that u can get after antec...though the difference between antec and powersafe both in terms of quality and price is huge...
