For games go with i5-2400.

If video editing was your priority, then Phenom II X6 1090T would have been better.

Re: Gaming Rig Within 30k. Conused btw Intel 2400 and Amd 1090t.

Yes buy 955 bcoz buying 2400 or 1090 for gaming is waste of money.my suggestions would be to buy seasonic sII 430watt @2.65k instead of 520w and g skill ripjaws @1.6k.as you are already having monitor,kd,mouse and all so i guess you should have a old hdd better use it even if it is of 80-100gb as hdd cost is too high now, with this remaining money you can buy 6850 at 9k.
If you can wait then you may get a treat with amd 7xxx series.so if u can wait,then wait for some 2-3 weeks more for only gpu but not processor as phenom II are already discontinued and you only get till stocks last.

Re: Gaming Rig Within 30k. Conused btw Intel 2400 and Amd 1090t.

For motherboard, get the Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3 revision 3.1 motherboard @ 4.8K. It is an AM3+ socket based mobo and supports new bulldozer cpus. Regarding monitor, post the resolution of it, not the size or model number. Normally it should be 1366X768 but please confirm 1st.

^^ great choices but I would like to add few things :

PII 955BE is around ~6.1k now.

NZXT Gamma though is a great cabby the current price is around ~2.4k - so Op can Opt for Zabronics Bijli for 1500 bucks.

An APC 600VA UPS would be just enough for Op's rig and the price is 1800 bucks.

It's better to Opt for a 500GB Seagate HDD around ~4.2k ;-)

@ sukesh1090 Gpu needs at least 450w psu hence 520W is good for adding some more components

If your monitor is 17 so my best guess is your max resolution must be 1280x1024 or 1366X768..For this resolution card is enough to play all latest games.
If you have your old HDD then even I suggest use it as for now HDD price are very High.. most probably will be down in next 4-6 months..

also get that Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3 revision 3.1 motherboard as Cilus suggested. I missed it has AM3+ socket. :)

You seem to be from Udupi. From where did you get ur configurations from. Local Market or Online? COz when i asked in Manglore they don't seem to have any AMD dealer's and I have no hopes that these specs will be available here:))

I'll go with what you say. I have a 80GB HDD. Will use that itself.
So my conifig will be
AMD PHENOM II 965 or 955 @6.5k WHats the Difference btw both? The price vary by Rs.200.:shock:
Gigabyte GA 880GM-USB3(Rev 3.1)@ 4.8
seasonic sII 430watt @2.65k
g skill ripjaws @1.6k
AMD Radeon 6850 @ 9k
ASUS 24X Sata Black DVD @1.1k
NZXT GAMMA@2k

Total 28500.

Should i change anything regarding the configuration?
And this build will be future proof rite atleast for 2-3 years Keeping Games in the mind?:oops:

^^ get seasonic 520W PSU as I recommended in my earlier post..

500W is recommended for 6850 and 450w is recommended for 6770.

Also if possible get GPU with DDR5 memory
