Gaming Rig for 60K

[deepakkumarb22]

like Cilus n some others pointed out cost of i7+MoBo = 30k but X6+MoBo = 20k!!No 1 is arguin abt i7 prowess but OP can save tht 10k n invest in a better GPU coz afterall games need a good GPU.
So lets end this long debated discussion n wait to hear wat OP thinks!!

Thank you so much for all the input guys.. Much appreciated..

I really don't intend to overclock the CPU, be it AMD or Intel.. Atleast, not for a year.. But seriously, I don't mind what CPU you suggest as long it fits well in my budget.. Also, my last question still stands.. Will 4 GB RAM suffice for a good gaming CPU or will 8 GB be a good investment.. If so, then I'm willing to increase my budget to accomodate it..

I found the following config (making a few changes to your suggestions).. Please advise if any changes are needed..

Phenom II X6 1090T BE 3.2 GHz - Rs. 13322
GigaByte ATI 890GX Chipset GA-890GPA-UD3H - Rs. 8803
2GB Corsair DDR3 1333MHz x 4 - Rs. 7956
Seagate SATA 1TB 32 MB Cache - Rs. 2627
Gigabyte Radeon HD 6870 1GB - ~ 13K (dealer still to get back with the price)
Cooler Master Elite 430 - Rs. 2885
Corsair VX650W - Rs. 6265
BenQ G2420HD 24 inch - Rs. 10721
Logitech K200 keyboard - Rs. 349
Gigabyte GM 6800 - ~ Rs. 800 (dealer still to get back with the price)
Sony DVD Writer 24X - Rs. 937
Altec Lansing VS4621 - Rs. 3637
APC 1100VA BR1100CI-IN - Rs. 4428

I've included 8 GB RAM and a UPS and changed the monitor to a 24' inch (Pretty cheap 24' monitors nowadays).. The total comes to around 79K..

Please suggest any changes or improvements to this config keeping in min the updates to the HW and budget.. Thanks..

My changes in bold.
As this is a Gaming and Gaming PC, 955BE is good enough for that. 4GB RAM is good too and extremly easy to upgrade. The cash can be used for the dual GFX setup. This will perform much better in games.
All of this for an extra Rs 150 (150 only )

Buddy for a gaming rig also do consider the lynnfield package i.e i5 760+ msi gd45 or i7 860+ msi gd45.

They will beat both the 955be and 1090t in games and will be a good package overall. The former is more vfm and the rest of your config is fine.
