@ grinn

dude go for 180 gb hdd.....................did u forget about that??

well i did forget that there was a 180 hdd and went for 1200 sata hdd.....................now i regret it!!!!!!!!!

and get SATA over RAID

AND MY HDD MAKES A REALLY "GRINNING" SOUND WHEN I COPY MOVIES AND GAMES.....................................i dnt remember wht hdd i got...............think its segate

 

[grinning_devil]

...my da will kill me if i go even 1rs over the budget now!!!
nd to think of that theres a doiff of around 1400 between seagate 120gb SATA nd 180GB SATA....

even though 1400 is meager amount....if we go on increasing meager nd small amount on each component...at the end u'll face a NICE TOTAL!!

No need to grin dude, its the 6600 not the 6600GT. The 6600GT costs 17K for the agp version while the PCI-E costs 15.5k. The agp version is probably costly due to the HSI chip. The best VFM card right now is the 9800pro for 13.5k frm ATi and 6600GT PCI-E frm Nvidia.
