I would always suggest you a Sony playstation 2 for better result.
Even if you want to stick with your pc you can get a 8600 or a 9600 for around 5.5k max

Get a 8600GT. This way u can play some 360 games with that pc too like DMC4. It will even play oblivion. Besides the gr8 game collection of pc.

ur config seems gud enuf.
ur best bet wud be an ATI HD 3850 512 MB GDDR3, which is up for 5.9k
its much much future proof, with DX 10.1 and let u play any current game with med~high details on ur config.

u can also enjoy HD movies too, but ur current config will fail to play a 1080p video.
If u are a classic lower, then PS2 seems better, but for upcoming games, get the 3850!

What is the price of HD 3850 in chennai....
Huh... i enquire that..
And buying PS2 is like a dream for me... My long day dream.:rolleyes:. So i get my hands to PS2...
I have a doubt.. Is modded PS2 is avail in the SONY showroom itself..:cool:..
If so, then what is the price... And what are all the accessories that bundle with a modded one...
Since i have a lot of time..atleast until the end of month i decide it about for this whole month.. So ur valuable suggestion for a newbie of PS2 will help me a lot.........:D:

A little bit of searching across the forum would have helped you.

Anyway, Sony showroom would never stock a modded console.

If so, then what is the price... And what are all the accessories that bundle with a modded one...
It can be anywhere between 6k to 7.5k.The accessories bundled are:
One modded Playstation 2 console.
One Original Dual Shock Analog Controller
Proprietary Composite Cable
Power Cable
User's Manual & of course the box.

Sorry pal am from Mumbai so no idea about Chennai.For your next question, if you meant it's stability then yes it should last you for more than 2 years.If you meant in terms of games being available then frankly I can't say.The titles coming out right now are very scanty as compared to before.It's shelf life is almost over but if you haven't been using the PS2 a lot prior to this then you can play it's previous games & it's equally fun.Which is what I am doing at the moment.The graphics do seem dull at time but still the games are totally worth it.:D

In cheani go to ritchie street...there is a game galaxy or something like that....check out...

Dont the buy the ps2...not a wise investment NOW....if u had bought it atleast a year ago..it would have been worth it...now its not..a gfx card is far better than it...

otherwise ur absolute buy it..will cost abt 7k i suppose..in total maybe 1 k more...

coz its more VFM in ur case....the 3850 may perform more..but since if u that much a perfomance lover u will not be buying a ps2 and a gfx card under 5k...thats why..how much will u think it would be more...5~8 fps more...both cards are low end now..not even mid range..so save couple of bucks and put it in ur ps2 fund...will be enough....

i never used Ati...coz i never bought it....i thght of the 4850..but then nvidia came with 9800gx2 and gtx 280...so no need.. :)...
