There is a big misconception among users that a High End gaming machine means a high end workstation. This is not the case.

If you want to play games in a hardcore manner then go for motherboard with SLI support & add 2 graphics cards. However, this SLI support will not give u any benefit in Workstation apps over a single 8600GT.

Highn end workstation doesn't mean over clockable motherboard, SLI, etc. It requires stability. The last thing you would want is for your system to crash while rendering a 300 frame animation at 290 frame.

Intel DG31PR is something I like & I have. You cannot over clock in Intel. No motherboard whether it is from Asus or Abit is made for games, they are all sames. The "made for gamers" tag is nothing but a marketing ploy. You can very well use these gaming motherboards for workstation use.

In my view, with the budget you have...I would purchase this.

Core 2 Quad Q6600
Intel DG33FB Motherboard
2X1 GB DDR2 667 MHz RAM
nVidia GeForce 9600GT cos you also need to play games.

Core 2 Quad Q6600 is fine
Intel DG33FB Motherboard is fine
Change RAM to 4X1 GB DDR2 800 MHz RAM. You will not need to upgrade the RAM later on.
Get Radeon 3850, it has more features then nVidia GeForce 9600GT & a better VFM
19" LCD Montior Samsung 932NW is my personal favorite.
Cooler master Extreme Power 500
Western digital 320GB SATA HDD with 16 MB Buffer
Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit

Dude! What are u thinking!
Get 2x2GB DDR2 RAM, so if in any case in future, u can upgrade it!
Change that motherboard - BIOSTAR TP35D2A7 or Abit IP35-E because u are buying a graphics card so u don't need an onboard GPU, besides G33 doesn't even support Hybrid X-Fire or Hybrid SLI.
Go for 9600GT! It costs 8800/- and performs better than 3580.
The only positive side with 3850 is that it is 55nm and sports DX10.1.....so what, nVidia's GTX 280 will still be a DX10 card!

Makes sense/

He doesn't need all these features. Onboard graphics can always help as a backup solution in case of the graphics card not working.

Go for 9600GT! It costs 8800/- and performs better than 3580.

For games, not for graphics workstation things.

Why don't you guys look at the date of the post! Some n00b comes and bumps a thread and discussion continues! The original poster hasn't even asked for your advice after his last post!
