I intend to buy PC within a budget of INR 75000.
Please recommend a suitable configuration.

Which processor is better?
Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q9550 or Intel Core i7 920 Processor


PS - I plan to use this PC for extreme gaming.

Monitor: Samsung 2233SW FullHD for 10.5k (much much better than BenQ T2200)
Mobo: Go for . This one's 3k less in price and the difference between this and UD5 isn't worth the extra 3k
GPU: Lynx-india is selling GTX260 sp216 for 10.5k (get two of these cards and you will have a monster gaming rig in hand) else you can get Palit GTX 275 Sonic for 17k


Core i7 920: 15.5k
Gigabyte GA-EX58-DS4: 15k
G-SKill F3-10666CL7T-3GBPK (1x3Gb DDR3 1333MHz): 7k
500Gb Seagate 7200.12 HDD: 3k
Palit GTX260 SP216 894MB : 11k or Palit GTX275 sonic: 17.5k
Corsair TX650 650W: 7k
Coolermaster Elite 330: 2k
Samsung 2233sw: 10k
Keyboard - Logitech G15 Keyboard - INR 4.5k
Mouse - Logitech MX518 mouse - INR 1k

After the suggestion from desibond I have decided on following.

CPU - Intel Core i7-920 -
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-EX58-DS4 -
RAM - Transcend 1333 MHz DDR3 (3x2GB)
GPU - Palit GTX275 sonic
HDD - 500Gb Seagate 7200.12
PSU - Corsair TX650 650W
Cabinet - Coolermaster Elite 330
Monitor - Samsung 2233sw
Keyboard - Logitech G15 Keyboard -
Mouse - Logitech MX518 mouse -


Is 650W PSU enough if I want to add another GPU in future??

Any more suggestions on the config?

^^

for RAM: Corsair TR3X3G-1333C9 (3x1 GB kit) Rs.8.2K
HDD: WD 1TB Rs. 5200/-

a 650W PSU is jus not enough if u wanna add a 2nd gpu into ur system, for that go for Corsair 750W psu (model tx750) Rs.8500/-

and if at all incase u wanna go in for a 3rd gpu get tagan bz1100 (1100W) for Rs.14.1K

Cheers n e-peace.....

If you want to add another GTX275, 640W PSU will not be enough and you need atleast a 1100W PSU

Thanks for the help..

I used this site to calculate the power consumption for 2 GTX275, I got around 500 W.
So I suppose 750W supply will do fine...

DO I need Cooling system too for this PC configuration? If yes, then which one.

Because the following link shows that GTX275 temperature is quite high during load.
