Guys even i need to build a new system in about 20-21k. However my requirements are slightly diffrent. I even asked about it earlier but at that tym my budget was just 15k, so i saved money 4 two months and now want to buy new system in this week.

Well I can't buy a monitor ryt now(will buy nxt month) and already hav speakers, and keyboard mouse. So bascially i need a cabinet, mobo, CPU, GFX card, RAM, DVD writer, HDD, and a good PSU to support all this. GFX card should be gud enuf to play games like COD4 at gud resolutions(will be buying a HD LCD).
So please suggest a config which fits in my budget.
Also could you people suggest a shop in nehru place, delhi where i can get products suggested by you guys coz in many shops in nehru place i couldn't find brands like corsair, Coolermaster etc. so any help in this regard would be highly appreciated(any website of a delhi based seller will also be good, i see many links to mumbai based sellers on the forum) .

Thanks a lot in advance to all those who take out time to reply....

Athlon II X3 435 2.9GHz @ 4k
Biostar TA785G A3 @ 3.7k
Transcend 2X2GB DDR3 1333MHz C9 @ 4.4k
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB @ 2.4k
Gigabyte 80 Plus Active PFC 460W @ 2.2k
NZXT Gamma @ 1.8k

total: 18.5k should cost below 19k. inc of tax.

well with rest of the money u get HD5670 512Mb. will cost ~5.5k.

to reduce price, opt for 2Gb ram & a lower costing cabby. let the PSU be Gigabyte 460W. future upgrade wil be handled by it easily.

Sam.Shab, ur config is well balanced, but one thing. Now a days Athlon II 620 X4 is available in 4.5 to 4.6k. So i think it will be a better option because the extra 0.5k really worth the extra performance offered by 620.

Hey thanks a lot guys for replying so quickly.. Well the config really luks gud. Few questions though. Never heard of biostar mobo, so are they good n reliable.I liked the cabby very much but on its site there's no seller in delhi, so will i be able to get this mobo and cabby in delhi. Also for the GFX card, i checked on tom's hardware and in benchamrking hd4770 was ahead of hd5670, so which one shud i buy..
And once again can anyone tell me where can i buy all this stuff in delhi..
Thanks a lot again.

Good choice but the 5770 is not for extreme gaming, replace that with HD5850 and get a nice 50k config.

biostar mobos are reliable. well almost anyone i recommend bio ask this question. they are reliable.

you should find this mobo is delhi. i gave you this mobo particularly cause it supports processor of 140W TDP. so later if u choose you may swap your proccy for an Phenom II X6. not sure about cabby though. still try.

if u look at their Graphics Card Hierarchy Chart (tom's HW. Graphics Mayhem's last page), you'll see HD5670 performance is on par with HD 4830. just 1 step behind HD 4770. moreover HD4770's price is 6.2k. so i think HD5670 is best value card in lower midrange section till date. moreover no extra power connector needed. temp very low so fan runs slow so no noise. GPU is OC'ble to 900Mhz (from 775Mhz). what more can u ask for a 5.3k graphics card?

everyone talks about SMC international at Nehru Place. you may pay them a visit. theres very high chance, they wil be having or can bring NZXT Gamma.

Raw Performance wise GTS 250 is better than HD5750 but if you compare power consumption+performance ratio then HD5750 is clearly better.

5850 reference vs 5850 toxic

is it worth the price difference (coz then the 5870 comes close to the 5850 price) ¿¿

Getting a HD5870 would be more wise decision than a toxic ed. HD5850 .... otherwise a plain vanilla HD5850 is just fine :p

Is the Athlon II X4 630 a good buy for a value gaming CPU ? I have a 8800GT which I plan on sticking to until 6 month or so... I currently have a E4500 and 2GB of DDR2 RAM.. I am planning on going quad with a Athlon II X4 630, a 780G mobo and 4GB of DDR2. Is it a good choice ? Will it give me noticeable difference in gaming (I play at 1440x900). If not, then please suggest me something similar in the same budget line (5k for CPU max, 5k for mobo and 4GB of DDR2 RAM).
