@topgear, would I need any thermal compund to put between the heatsink and proccy ??

and will have to buy it separately or the Core Contact or Hyper TX2 come with something to put in between

and I also see that there are chipset cooler, will they do anything good.
and this motherboard support Supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards.

I heard for older ati mobos, it is not good to put nVidia gfx card. comment on this and anything to which I can change to for better gfx.

@skud, choice is good, but instead of antibiotic cabinet check coolermaster Elite 330, or zebronics reaper and peace

Elite 330 has tool free design, not sure of antibiotics reaper and peace.
But I think if antibiotics has then for sure reaper and peace because they cost around 2.5K

I do not think any of these zebronics have tool less design

Don't know about core contact but CM hyper TX2 does come with thermal compound pre applied.

Chipset coolers are better than stock chipset coolers coz they comes with fans & coper base but stock chipset coolers only use aluminium.

But stock chipset coolers are enough unless you are OCing your rig @ extreme extent.

Some ATI chipset has particluar issue with nvidia gfx cards as onece I've faced the trouble.

If your mobo has a pci-e slot then I will suggest you to get a HD4670 with 512MB DDR3 ram which is Rs. 5.1K or so.

one last question, my mobo has one 3 pin and another 4 pin power for fan.
4 pin is being used for powering the cpu cooler fan.
TX-2 and most of the new cooler's fan have got 3 pin cable, how can I manage this, or I will have to specifically search for 4 pin fan

@ acewin - you can attach 3pin fan connector in 4 pin header. It's very simple.
usually you have to left pin number 4 unconnected. follow the link that janitha has posted.

What's the price for AMD X2 7750 Black Edition ?? I heard its around 3.7k Please confirm guys. This is awesome proccy, it pwns E5200.

Any suggestions for 15k !! Gaming upgrade.
Mobo + CPU + GFX + Cabinet_With_SMPS + RAM

Good gfx like 9600GT would be better.

Yeah, AMD 7750 Out Performs E5200 At STOCK, Easily.

But the question is if it does so when both are over clocked. That's why i guess people prefer E5200.

I don't think a budget buyer would over clock, as that would mean higher costs for SMPS, Cooling Etc.
