Consider that GTX275 price is cheaper or equal to HD4890, and a stock GTX275 beats it in majority of games

LOL, Powercolour HD4890 @ 15k
Palit GTX275 @ 16.8k

Who's cheaper now?

And BTW, GTX275 cunsumes a full 60W more than HD4890, actually more, that's at par with GTX285. Meanwhile HD4890 consumes less than HD4870 and GTX260 is matching.

And who are u telling OCing about? Havn't u heard of the "1GHz CARD" ???

Speakers ?
What about Biostar 790G Mobo, it costs 6k Right ? Not worth for the extra 1k ?

Can't we accomdate a graphics card, say HD4670 or so ? So that HD Movies should go really smooth! CM is pretty costly for this budget. Won't the zebby handle the HD4670 ?

^^^ Final CONFIG:

Athlon II X2 250 3GHz @ 5.5k
Biosrat TA790GXB A3+ @ 5.8k
2*2=4GB Kingston DDR2 800MHz CL5 @ 2.4k
CL 334 Elite w/o PSU @ 1.8k
CM 500W ExP @ 2.8k
HD4770 512MB GDDR5 @ MAX 7.5k
DVD Writer @ 1.1k
BenQ G2220 21.5" FULL HD LCD Monitor @ 9.2k
Logitech KBD/MOUSE Combo @ 0.8k
Seagate 7200.12 500GB SATA HDD @ 3.1k
Logitech X-540 5.1 Surround @ 4.2k
APC 500VA UPS: 2.1k

This combo is the best and complete VFM. With the powerful X2 250 and HD4770, enjoy gaming at 16x9 resolution with everything maxed out(yes) and 1920x1080 with reduced AA(from 4 to 2 say). And the 5.1 Speakers and 21.5" LCD will give u the best cinema effect.

500GB for all you need to store.

CM Elite 334, trendy, cool, and good enuf.

Opps, got carried away.

Remove HD4770. U get 39k. Remove TA790GXB and get Palit 780G @ 3.8k, now to 37k.

Change Speakers to Logitech X-240 @ 2.4k, u get 35k.

I can't reduce further.

To Play Dolby/DTS, you need a soundcard with Dolby/DTS decoding capability.

Best VFM audio card now is ASUS Xonar DX, my friend has one, amazing performance, and unlike what Creative said EAX(upto 5.0) works with all most every supported game(a glitch was in Bioshock, a new update fixed it).

can't we play Dolby Digital and DTS without sound card.

I mean connect the Logitech 5.1 to the computer, and use powerdvd to play movies.
It seems powerdvd has native decoders ?
So it should decode and send out the sound to 5.1 speakers

that means no need to AV receiver or sound card.. Isn't it ?
