go for AMD 3000+ with A8NE. Its a great combo. There's no use spending 2000 bucks extra for 3200+ when with A8NE u can easily overclock your 3000+ to 3400+
if budget allows go for gfx6600 (non GT 128 MB, its for 6500 bucks) else 6200 is fine

AMD 64 3000+ Rs- 7300
A8NE Rs- 6700
harddisk 80 GB Rs- 3000
RAM 2*512 MB Rs- 5000
GFX 6200 Rs- 3500
Cabinet + PSU Rs- 3000
Monitor 17" Rs- 6000
Keyboard/ MOuse/Speaker Rs- 2000
TV Tuner Rs- 2000
DVD Writer Rs- 3000

Rs- 41,500

So its better to go for ATI chipset RS480 based motherboards that come with decent graphics + most of the features + PCI-E for future upgrades. And its around 5k....... That means u save around 5k if u go for it as u won't probably need a graphics card then...... if u aren't a gamer.

MSI K8N NEO 4 Platinum

I am fully satisfied with MSI K8N NEO 4 Platinum mobo I want to know the price of this mobo.
And the gfx card I decided is Gainward geforce 6200 256 mb or XFX geforce 6200 256 mb. Which will be best and have a great value for money?
Also tell me the price difference between Samsung SyncMaster793s & 793mb?

I think the price of all the components has come down. Please check the latest price @ *www.deltapage.com

6200 with 256 MB is not the best value for money, although it's 6600GT but if it's costly for U, then try to buy a 6600 non ultra with 256 MB with good cooling & overclock it to GT speeds

I suggest the MSI K8NE04 PLATINUM if you have the budget ..just coz it has creative onbaord 7.1 sound and also looks much better .. its priced around 2k more than asus though.

ya u can play all the latest games on a 6200 256 mb but at low settings only .. i suggest a 6600gt 128 mb instead .. save on the mobo and buy a asus a8n-e and use a 6600gt instead. that will be the best combo in your budget i suppose.

u will be able to play quake 4 (reference here) only at 640X480 with a Geforce 6200 with 256 MB RAM, the extra RAM will not help the 6200, it's under powered,

mohit, he is already going over budget, i still suggest a 6600 non ultra with 128 MB or 256 MB RAM, & when playing games overclock it

A MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum board along with AMD Athlon64 3200+ will cost u around Rs. 14500-15500.
As for graphics card, can't say cos haven't been inquiring about them much lately.
I live in Delhi. So my main source of info on availablbe h/w & their prices is Nehru Place.
As I said in my previous issue, u can check out the previous issues of Digit for graphics card prices.
Or better still, u can check out www.npithub.com .
U'll get latest prices there.

Ok. Let me go for geforce 6600 gfx cards Which gfx card to prefer? Big geforce 6600 or XFX geforce 6600 Non GT Video cards. Also tell me about Big geforce 6600GT.

I also planned not to get tuners and other accessories for now. So that I can go for a powerful configuration. Also tell me the price of MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum board.

XFX 6600 non Ultra with 256 MB DDR2 memory, overclocked to GT speeds, not only runs cool but it's also the best bang for buck right now

Thanks a lot for all the digit members for helping me.

But still i have some query regarding this config.
1. Is overclocking is possible with BIG geforce 6600? If yes, till what extent it can be overclocked ? Can this card be overclocked to an BIG geforce 6600GT ?
2. Till what extent an 3200 processor can be overclocked ?
3. Is 256*2 MB DDR 400 MHz ram will be enough? What is the benefit of an 512*2 MB DDR 400 MHz Over 256*2 mb ram?
4. Is 380 watts power supply is enough for this config ?
5. Is there any difference between BIG geforce 6600 Non GT and BIG geforce 6600LE ? What is the difference ?

Also post your suggestion on this config.

I once again thank all the members.
