This is 1 urgent request...My friend is planning on building a gaming rig..and Only the main components like CPU, Mobo, RAM, Cabby, GFX and PSU are needed....

He will game on his 17" CRT (@1024 x 768 res)..
The budget is restricted to 23k but can increase it slightly for a more VFM setup..

He wants to buy it this week...and is planning to run almost all games at Max Settings(games like MW3 and BF3 too)

is the 6770 a good GFX @ it's price to game on a 17" screen??
Please suggest the best VFM rig for him..

yeah actually for your resolution even 6670 is fine.
but i suggested 6790 to make it little futureproof. suppose he upgrades monitor.

or he can get this -

In Jas' config, the processor is powerful enough but I think you should opt for a Gigabyte 880G chipset based mobo with AM3+ support. I like the previous config better.
Reaper_vivek, I think you get the 1st one suggested for now and drop the idea of getting the Display too. Right now get the rig and get the display after some time.

He is not interested in upgrading the display anytime soon!!! Thanks for the effort!!

I have another question...
I want to upgrade my GPU to be able to play titles like BF3 and MW3 at full settings on my display...
I'll sell my current GPU for 7k...which 1 should I opt for..I will be adding 2-3k to the budget...I play @1080p

BMG ftw!!
^ oh, missed your post. But back on topic, do not buy XFS cards because of their terrible after sales service in India, but go with 6870 Hawk. It is very powerful card capable of running almost all the games in high settings.
