Have a look at tkin's sound cards. I can't help you much there as perception of sound quality differs from person to person.

Buying a 4850 now would be a waste. Although it can fairly run all those mentioned games on Full HD. U 've waited too long for the card & now just wait little for prices to go down a bit for the Dx11 hardware.

The ASUS board is excellent for its price. It has 2 GFX card slots and also 4 ram slots and many other cool features.

WTH! You want to put that rig on that crap PSU??? Get at least the Gigabyte 460W or Corsair CX400W @ 2.5/3.2k

What are you going to do with this rig? Do you intend to add gfx card later? The cabinet... What is your budget and how much can you up it by?

As you know, I have already bought the following components:

CPU: AMD Phenom X2 550 BE (Coz it can be unlocked as well as overclocked) @4650
RAM: Transcend 2GB DDR3 1333Mhz @2350
Hard Disk: Seagate 7200.12 500Gb @2350
UPS: Techcom 600VA @1100
LCD Monitor: Samsung 2033SW PLUS @7069
Cabinet:Zebronics Breeze(comes with 3 "80mm fans" on its side) + Zebronics 450w PSU @1712

Definitely Gaming is not the top most priority. I need this system for Web designing, software development. If adding Gfx helps my work then i'll add it by another 3 or 4 months.

My budget for cabinet and PSU is @2,500 at present


Could you pass me some ideas?:idea:

Unless you ever plan to add a couple of graphic cards, a decent mid tower case would do just fine. Get any case you like, but I recommend the CM Elite series cases @ 1.8-2.5k.

Since you already have a decent cabby on your list, stick to it and get a good PSU like the Gigabyte 460W @ 2.5k or Corsair CX400W @ 3.2k or Tagan TG-500-U37 @ 3.2k or Corsair VX450W @ 4k.

I think I'll go for Gigabyte 460W. I'll use Zeb PSU with my old system.

For curiosity sake, this is how my Zebronics breeze cabinet looks like (follow the link below):

Thank you Sir for your valuable suggestions.

There is one last thing that i want to ask you. What are the differences b/w 2033SW and 2033SW PLUS? Do they come with HDMI? I'm not able to find complete details of these two products. Even the samsung website doesn't mention the details properly.

PLEASE do not call me sir. I am just another poster here. Inside/outside of the forum, I have done nothing noteworthy enough to be called Sir, far less to be knighted. :lol: Something, like Thank You Krow for not trying to crap on me would be so much more friendly and nice. :)

I don't think it comes with HDMI as at least the 2233SW does not. No clue about the difference between the SW and the SW Plus. Don't be pulled in by this HDMI hype. Even DVI gives similar picture quality and besides, the monitor is good. You can trust Samsung/Dell for delivering quality monitors. :)

This link should help you a bit, although no food as to whats the difference between SW and SW plus.

Tagan should provide more power IMO, but depending upon your config, you choose, not by who provides more power. The Tagan 500 has cheap build quality although it is a good psu. If you have a system with no components consuming really high power, then Corsair CX400W is excellent. If you have a heavy gfx card, then it is Tagan tg-500. If heavy quad proccy, heavy gfx, then minimum is Corsair VX450W.
