Yes siree! U are right about it and here is the link if anyone wants a proof.
Now days barely see a 400W Cooler Master.
But here are few options:
CM 390W Extreme = 1900/-
CM 460W Extreme = 2450/-
Point of View Black Diamond 400W = 2200/-
Powersafe Gold 400W = 1550/-
Use any card for display purpose.

*processormatch.intel.com/CompDB/SearchResult.aspx?Boardname=dg965ry
where can i find the best compatible processor for my motherboard in nehru place? i tried at smc, computers empire and few more big shops but it wasn't available with them. plz help.

thanks nish
Choose between these two
a) WD 320 AAKS -320gb,16mb buffer,7.2krpm
b) Seagate ST3500320AS-500gb,32mb buffer,7200.11 model---the one which was voted as best performance this year in digit
I qwn a 320 gb WD.....luv it.....but currently the price difference between the two is just 250 Rs......kinda leaning on the 500 gig...
Help me out

Any processor which supports upto 1066MHz FSB, depending on your budget.
That link u posted is an entire list of processors, ur motherboard supports.
U can also try Q6600, it's not on the list but its better than any other processor on that list.
Q6600 is Quad Core 2.4GHz having 8MB L2 Cache and will cost u back at 9650/-!
The more beef the better!
Go for 32MB Cache

thank u for ur reply keith_j_snyder2. as per intel website my dg965ry motherboard supports only upto core2duo e6700 not quad core processors and this was confirmed by intel technical support executive as well.
1066Mhz FSB quad core no doubt is the best processor from any one in the above list. it is well within my budget but quad core is not supported. plz help me finding e6700 in delhi. or i'll have no option left other than to sell out my costly 965ry at a thow away price and get a better motherboard which supports quad core at less than half of the price of this board.

It is a bitter fact. All of us do have to face such situations.
Guys I'm planning to go in for a new system and would like your opinions on the config.
1. ASUS Rampage Formula - 19400/-
2. Intel Q6600 - 2.4 - 10400/-
3. Kingston - 2x2 Gb DDR2 1066Mhz modules
4. XFX 9800 GTX black edition / BFG GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB OCX - 13500/-
5. Either Seagate 500 GB 7200.11 SATA / WD RE2 500GB / Western Digital Caviar SE16 750 GB / Western Digital Caviar SE16 (WD5000AAKS) / Samsung SpinPoint T Series HD501LJ (Can't decide. Help me out here)
6. PSU : Corsair HX620W Power Supply /Corsair TX750W Power Supply / Cooler Master Real Power Pro 850 W
7. Cabinet:The Antec Nine Hundred/ Cooler Master Stacker 830 Full Tower/Thermaltake SwordM VD500LBNA Full Tower Case
Ned help deciding Graphics, HDD, PSU and cabinet. Plus opinions on motherboard. Would appreciate any inputs. Thanks

There are very little chances that u will find a new Q6700, but still it would cost u much and doesn't make any good.
Who told u my friend that Q6700 is the only option. U can go for E6600 (Still pricey)!
Try E4500 - 2.2GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2MB L2Cache ( Somewhat around 5000/-), best according to me ( If gaming is not the top Priority)
I don't know what to say u about the expensive motherboard, but technologically speaking, loose the board and get a P35 chipset (A-bit IP35-E or Biostar TP35D2A7) and use any processor u want which supports 1333MHz FSB!
Your choice!
First thing.....woooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Are u going to a shooting rampage with that board?
Now come to the point,
Extreme motherboard and low processor (in proportion)
With this board, u should try some Extreme series processor like QX9770 or QX6850....but that will hit the pocket hard!
Should opt for Q9450.
With that board 1066Mhz DDR2 is something waste of money, DDR2 1066MHz and DDR3 1333MHz would cost almost same....very less price difference.
Either go for high-grade 800MHz DDR2 or 133MHz DDR3.
9800GTX for 13500/-!!!
Don't tell me u checked the price form newegg.com?If going for SLI or X-Fire then Corsair TX750W otherwise HX620 is sufficient!
Rest of the stuff is U-L-T-M-A-T-E!

Thanks for the reply Keith and gx_saurav.
Regards processor - I think the q9450 is not available in delhi and from what I've read is that the Q 6600 can be overclocked. What do you think?
I'm not too sure if the rampage formula supports DDR3 coz its not mentioned in asus website. I plan to go for either Kingston 2GB 1066MHz DDR2 Non-ECC CL7 DIMM / Corsair DDR2-1066 (Dominator-8500C5*4GB*EPP)
XFX 9800 GTX. Got the price from my vendor. Will reconfirm.
Guess will go in for WD caviar 500 GB in raid 0, and no I don't plan on SLI so HX620 it is for me. MAybe I might need Aquagate max from cooler master for cooling if overclocking.

^ That motherboard doesn't support DDR3, it has DDR2 1066MHz support. What i am saying is, that u have opted for a X48 chipset, which support DDR2 RAM, u know its better to go with X38 if u plan to buy DDR2, but if buying that much expensive motherboard and still buying a DDR2 RAM doesn't make a good point. My suggestion is:
1. If DDR2 RAM, then buy P35, X38 chipset.
2. If X48 chipset, then go for DDR3 RAM.
A-Bit X38 Quad GT is a good motherboard and costs almost half of Rampage Formula and also support 1600MHz FSB. I red somewhere sometimes ago ,that X48 chipset is not much different than X38, i m not sure how true it was but the specifications of both says that there isn't much, i m gonna digg this soon.
Save some cash over motherboard and buy some better processor Q9450.
Q9450 might not be available this time but will be available within next few days or a week time. Q6600 is a good processor but not better than Q9450.
Intel chipsets like X48 (Rampage formula supports 2x Pci-e @ full X16X16) ,X38 etc. supports X-Fire, so either u go with one single nVidia card or if planing for 2 graphics cards, then buy 2 ATi for X-fire.
Wait for RV770 and GTX 280 launch and then buy graphics card.
Dude u are buying something really high end but on the verge of technological change!

My cousin wants to buy a new PC within 23-25k.
Except the processor and mobo, the config is:
2GB 667Mhz RAM, 160 GB SATA hdd, 17" CRT, Keyb+Mouse, DVD-RW, ATX cab, 2.1 Creative speakers...
...according to me it adds upto Rs.13,200. So that leaves upto 10k for proccessor and mobo.
So could anyone please suggest procc+mobo combination within 10k. I prefer to have AMD ..so that UPS can be added too. No probabilty of buying a graphics card. So everything needs to be onboard.
It will be used for normal work and occasionally gaming and photoshop-ing/3D design. It must be able to play atleast NFSU2 in moderate settings.
One of the computer shops here suggested AMD XP5000+ and ASUS mobo(combo pack). He didn't remember the mobo model but said it will be cost effective to buy them in combo rather than individually. So I would like to know which is the combo pack tht is selling in the market(especially the mobo model).. I am looking for good onboard graphic sol.(no VIA chipset).

Since ur choice is AMD and need onboard video too, then i suggest something with Hybrid graphics.
AMD 7-Series chipsets supports Hybrid graphics and do as gx_saurav suggested in here. There are few other brands too which has 7-series chipsets so take a look at them.
Thanks keith. You are right of course. If I am going to spend that much money it does make sense to wait for a couple of weeks. Even my vendor says the same. Both Nvidia and ATI are going to launch in June. Makes sense to wait till then. Thanks for the input.
