Base:
Seagate SATA-II 7200.11 RPM 32-MB Buffer 500GB HDD - Rs. 4,100 [4,500 max]
RAM - Value DDR2 800MHz 2GB + 2GB - Rs. 3,600 [4,000 max]
[for both, divide everything by 2 to get lower end config]
Zebronics Bijli cabinet with 400W SMPS - Rs. 1,500
Intel:
Intel DG35EC Motherboard - Rs. 5,000 [6,000 max]
Core2Duo E7200 - Rs. 5,500 ==== [or] ==== E8400 - Rs. 8,000
AMD:
Zotac 8200 Motherboard - Rs. 3,500
Phenom X4 9550 - Rs. 7,000 [8,000 max]
AMD has better performance here. If you want a better intel setup, you need to replace the motherboard with a 630i motherboard for 3.5K which would lack dual channel memory, compromising memory performance.

^^dude ,how abt an Abit IP35e ??? and BTW 500GB HDDs cost 3.5k only ....atleast WD's 500 HDD costs 3.2k in my city ....and just 2GB of RAM is 'nuff, dnt u think ?

advice: see the writing in tiny size
And you are talking about 8mb or 16mb buffer HDD. Its not enough for Photoshop.

i think its 16MB .....

And thats why I suggested the Seagate 7200.11 Drive. Its got everything. From 32MB buffer to perpendicular recording to cheap price. And if I remember right, in the same range, the 1TB drive is available in SAS too, along with SATA

Say that to Hitboxx and he will sue you.
[you should have been there at IRC all those months when he used to constantly insult his faulty WD HDDs]
thanks a lot dear...........and this config. sounds very interesting for me........but you suggested me Intel motherboard..........what reason behind it please make it clear...........because I want to buy a asus with intel chipset G33 like P5k-vm or with other chipset....thanks again dear.
i am looking for good headphones, are any true 5.1 headphones available in market ? i want them for movies,music and games off course. and i don't want to go for 5.1 speaker setups...just way too clumsy and full of wires and moreover i don't have a proper space to keep them oriented for good acoustics.
if not 5.1 then which which other headphones are good ? right now i have narrowed down to this headphone
MDR-XD200

i don't know the price and availability of sennheiser headphones ...and also i don't know which is good one...i don't want to spend more than 2.5k on them. please if someone know it ...help me

I suggested Intel because its cheap. Simple as that. ASUS would have made you spend 3K more if you wanted a modern full fledged chipset with DECENT onboard graphics. G31 or Q35 would have had only GMA 3100 (not X3100), which has too low graphics.
thanks........but What do you think about Intel DP35DP then now config. is
motherboard--- Intel DP35DP--6000
processor--- Intel C2D E8400--8000
ram--- as you told but kingston 1+1--2200
HDD---as you told but 250 GB and --2300
Cabinate-----as you told.--1500
Now suggest final...........thanks

P35 has no onboard graphics. You need to spend extra money on that. A really cheap GPU is the 7100GS available for around 1.2K, but its weaker than most modern onboard GPUs today and about as strong as the older generation onboard GPUs and definitely not even close to what AMD offers.
And instead of DP35DP, get MSI version if ever you choose P35.
HDD 250GB will not have 32MB Buffer and often will not have perpendicular recording.
And yes, I still think you will end up with more money left in your wallet if you stick with AMD.
I suppose you can sneak in an 8500GT in hybrid SLI mode into the AMD config to give performance enough to run any game including crysis.
I am buidling a gaming PC to play Crysis & Bioshock at 1600x1200 with full effects turned on. Processor (E8400) & other parts I have already finalised.
Please suggest me a good motherboard & graphics card combination. I mean a set of specific models that are compatible with each other and are easily available in Mumbai.
The mobo should have sli/crossfire capacity and the card should be sli/crossfire ready. NVdia or ATI. Both should support PCIe2.0 in full 16X mode. And should let me play Crysis at 1600x1200 with full glory. I will buy single card for now and may be later add another in sli/cf when newer games demand it.
Also give me price indication.
Please help!

I think buying another 8600GT for 3.5K and then some good cooler for 2.5K, then putting the 8600GT in SLI and overclocking your current CPU with the help of the cooler should easily make your system top notch. Why exactly are you upgrading ?
