they cost around 6.5k and above..moreover he has to look out for network card and bluetooth also.

Still no config by anyone on intel. :???:

If i take phenom ii x4, will it be fine. What is main difference between athlon ii x4 and phenom ii x4 ? Apart from L3 cache missing in Athlon II X4, is there any other difference?

as i mentioned for your purpose amd will be better. also with amd you are getting a well balanced config within your budget.

BTW how much the intel mobo you mentioned cost?

about difference check - The Differences Between Athlon II and Phenom II Explained

there are cases when unlocking of l3 on athlon II was possible. but that was a deneb core. the athlon II based on propus core have no l3 present physically on the die and disabled.

Edit- its WITHOUT in my last post!

Got it....

One more doubt, in the Graphic Card recommended by you, will I be able to connect projector and monitor simultaneously with DVI and HDMI port and get the output simultaneously.

In mobo though DVI and HDMI ports are there it is clearly mentioned that video cannot be transmitted simultaneously through DVI and HDMI.

Confirm me about the Graphic Card.

I have ordered it. But I can still change the PSU. Do you suggest FSP Saga II. I chose coolermaster for quiet performance. Correct me if I am wrong

Is 500W necessary. 400 or 450W wont do for my config? I will check for the availability of FSP Saga II and add it to my config.
