Need help for new PC!

Hi ,
I am planning to buy a new PC not in single shot but in two installments.
I already have AMD 1700, 512 MB ram , Geforce2 , 250GB HDD , 17inch Monitor . My major use for the PC is for movies / songs and I play games almost once in two months. I am planning to use vindows vista with aero on my new PC. Gaming is not hight priority for me but I should be able to play games like quale 4 , doom 3 , NFS etc etc.
My total budget is around 35k and I am almost zeroing on the following hardware
Monitor :- Viewsonic 22 inch ( around 16k)/
Mobo :- Xfx 650i ultra
Ram :- 2 GB
HDD:- old HDD
Processor :- C2D 4400
GPU:- (XFX 8600 GT ? )Help me please
Now here are my questions
1) I am planning to Overclock the CPU and that’s the reason why I am choosing 4400+ 650i. Question is:- how much I can overclock without use of any external / additional cooler? I will be using the normal CPU cooler fan which comes with the CPU and planning to use one additional fan in the cabin. Also how much will be the noise level increase if we overclock the cpu?
2) Regarding the mobo. :- Can I use xfx 650 mobo without any GPU for basic things like browsing , email etc etc?
3) Regarding the GPU:- As I have said gaming is not hight priority , but I should be able to play games coming atleast till end of next one year on this 22 inch monitor . I have seen mix options about 8600 on net. Can you suggest me what to do regarding this?
4) Last question :-
Should I go for Monitor first followed by the mobo+ processor next month or other way round i.e mobo+ processor first and monitor next month?

Please help me…

Re: Need help for new PC!

1st of all ... look for dell 22" TN E228WFP..... its in ur budget after the price cut ....



2.AFAIK ...650i doesnt have onboard video ... so u'll definately need a gfx card even to boot ur pc.

3.For ur 22 inch monitor ...u sill need a GFX card with atleast 512 mb memory and i have heard that 8600 gt cant do justice to its 512mb memory .....only my view haan ...ask others too.

4. u shld go for mobo + proccy first .....

One can wait for 8800 GT rather than 8800 GTS (320)!
Heard that its a better performer than 320 GTS and will be cheaper too!

Motherboard : ASUS P5K -C is also a good option. It supports both DDR 2 as well as DDR3 RAM (if in future ...IF DDR 3 prices hit the dirt)

CPU Cooler : Aqugate Mini R80 and R120 are also good options but there is no comparison with THERMALTAKE!
