True. For the price of E8400, you can get X2 550 and crosair 4gig ram. now, that VFM and still X2 550 competes with E8400 easily.

at stock PII 550 competes with E7500...but 550 hav more vfm than getting a E8400 at present, and with AMD overdrive even a noob can overclock it to 3.6GHz with ease.

@archnemesis666
As desiibond hav said getting a PII 550BE + 4GB RAM kit + a gud 780Gmobo will be a lot better than spending the bucks for E8400+MSI P45 Platinum, and the P45 Neo Platinums hav some MCH/ICH heating troubles if trying to O.C.

yes. even if for non-overclocking and gaming purpose, add that 4k to GPU's budget and that will be lot more useful.

E8400: 8.8k
MSI P45 Platinum: 10k
HD4850: 7k
total : 25k

Phenom II X2 550: 5.2k
Jetway HA-07 Ultra: 6k
GTX275: 14k
total: 25k.

Guess which one will be more powerful :)

hey surinder thank you for such a prompt reply, but i forgot to mention that am more biased towards intel(more so because of my programming needs), so could you please suggest an equivalent intel config.....

how about:

E5200+G31 boased board+4gig ram: 8.5k maximum and get a better cabinet for extra 2.5k and a good side fan for 500 bucks?

hey desiibond thanx for replying so quick... i checked on npithub.com(website of nehru place) and found that the price of the config u hav suggested is well above 8.5k, so could you also mention the price and place frm where i can get the hardware you have mentioned...
Also the price of 2.83GHz C2D(5450) was less than 2.66GHz C2D(5950), so should i go for this 2.83GHz processor or not, and will it perform good in stock mode...

And in the end I want to ask what is the diffrence b/w the RAM kit(as suggested by surinder) and normal RAM(as suggested by desiibond) and which is better??? (please bear with my ignorance, if the question is too numb:oops:)....

Thanks again..

amitjha Intel specs for you

E7400 @5.6K
Asus P5KPL-CM 2.4K
Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5 4GB Kit @3K

But still in my opinion AMD rig should be more capable then this one.

@damngoodman, calculate here.*www.apc.com/tools/ups_selector/index.cfm

for TX650, you might need atleast a 650VA UPS.
