primeabgb (based in Mumbai) and lynx-india (based in Chandigarh ? Not sure), are the two most trusted online sellers and you shouldn't hesitate to buy from them :).

ok,but is there any possibility of price falling of corei intel based processors,as i have read in various places that intel may be soon launching new processors?

Told you man, the prices are always falling. The prices will sure go down in a couple of months. It might be a little but they will.

MEDIAHOME.IN MSI HD5770 HAWK @ Rs 10.1K Shipping extra
Else BIOSTAR HD5770 @ 8.6K Shipping extra. Biostar RMA center is in DELHI. You have to send the card there for any RMA requests

hi everyone, I was not active here for quite a long time, so would guys help me to buy a new rig for about some 15k bucks.

The rig is for one of my colleague, he just needs it for basic home use.

Thanks.

Athlon II X2 240 @ 2.8k
Gigabyte GA740G-UD2H (check spelling) @ 2.5k
A-Data or Hynix/Kingston 2GB DDR3 @ 2.5-2.6/2.8kk
Seagate 500GB HDD @ 2k
Cabby+SMPS @ 1k
Logitec KB+M @ .6k
AOC 15.6" @ 4.7k
Creative A35 @ .4k

Total: 16.5k cheaper than this, DDR2 based.

Temme the best mobo+proccy+RAM (DDR3) for 20ish k ? (give or take a couple grand). It is for me and will most prolly be using it with a 8800GT (or if i get luck, a GTX260 coz my card has gone for replacement... fingers x :D). The purpose of the PC was, is and will be gaming. On 1440x900 I may add so if you think that a combo for 15k will suffice then dont go further :).

Well Processor+Mobo+Ram @ 20k eliminates all the Intel configs. AMD is there only.
Processor: Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz B.E. @ 7.7k
Motherboard:
ECS A885GM-A2 @ 4.9k or Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4.3k
Ram: 2 X 2 GB KingSton 1333 MHz DDR3 @ 5.4k

Total is around 18k+Tax

Justification: Phenom II 955 is a very good processor and hell of a overclocker. Even with the stock cooler 3.8 Ghz is possible. I am running it @ 3.6 GHz all the time and very good for gaming also.

Special Suggestion: Since you are having 2k extra, you can go for a Phenom II X6 1055T @ 9.5k. It is also very highly overclock-able and has very good Cooling.

For mobo I've suggested the AMD885 chipset based mobo as it will give you the SATA 3 and USB 3 features.

in short:

X4 955 ---> out of box gaming.
X6 1055T ---> out of box >>> OC ... gaming.
ECS mobo ---> crap. better get biostar motherboard. atleast reliable & freely available. also cheaper.

Guys,

Did you check AMD website ? They have listed a 95W TDP X6 1055T.

its nothing but a X4 955 story. first release a processor at 125/140W & as manufacturing process improve, slower TDP to 95/125W.

just hoping, Athlon II X4's TDP lower to 80W-85W. a L3 cache less processor. non Black Edition. cheap but 95W @ just 2.6-3Ghz. too much.

Ya. I will wait for X6 processors to evolve and upgrade to X6 next year.Unless AMD starts making 32nm proccys my mobo would support a 45nm X6 Proccy

Thank you Cilius and Sam. I will go for the X4 if I have to buy a new combo. Thanks a lot for the suggestions :).
