not just that, you will have time to look for gfx card. bcoz onboard gfx is quiet good, maybe buying gfx card latter helps you to increase your budget and buying good board and proccy.

GA-MA78GM-S2HP - does not support cross-fire
*www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2950
if you want to use onboard gfx for now & wish to get better gfx card later get this one
GA-MA790GP-UD4H - this one supports cross-fire & comes with SB750 - this ensures that it's an high end OCing mobo.
The build quality of this mobo is just superb
*www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Mothe...rd&ProductID=3003&ProductName=GA-MA790GP-UD4H
My suggestion - buy GA-MA790GP-UD4H. wait for some time & get the GPU or 2x gpu later for cross-fire.
BTW, there is nothing wrong with biostar mobo - the only thing is the build quality is not so great as gigabyte & from some magazine reviews I have seen that biostar boards heats up a lot. I think you got my point

@ topgear Thanx buddy! I have to choose between what to sacrifice! Its either my processor or GFX! Either i keep my P4 3GHz and get a good GFX card + great mobo(P45 NEO-F?) and overclock it and make do for a month or three OR i get the phenom with the UD4H and wait out the GFX card! Got no other choice! Budget issues!
I had a look @ lamington road today. I'll post updates by 12am!

I agree! Even @ lamington road @ mumbai, all shops said that Q6600 ws out of stock or at phenomenal rates like Rs. 12700.
Try a few more shops 4 the P45 NEO-F. U should be able to find it for 5.5k as I was. I dunno abt the monitor but plz chk the first page of this thread for all rates.
Q9400 @ 11.5k is excellent(if ur budget permits!). For a gaming rig, more than the processor, u shud consider the GFX card. HD 4770 is a good card, but if ur budget permits, u cn go for the ZOTAC GTX 260 896MB GDDR3 @ min 11.5k in mumbai! That shud complete ur gaming rig.
Instead of the CM600W, why dont u consider the Corsair VX450 @ arnd 4k and go for the elite 330 @ arnd 2k or elite 334 @ 1.8k?
All three are good for the Q9400. But if u can buy the platinum @ 9k, then u cn also have a look @ ASUS P5Q Pro or an equivalent Gigabyte motherboard. Chk the MSI website for specs and choose what suits u best!

Okay! So I already have an Nvidia Geforce 6600 256MB PCI-E GFX card. Is it any better than the integrated graphics or has it become too ancient that I should open a musuem maybe? Anyways it's one of the oldest GFX cards for which nVidia releases driver updates even today! I'll make it run just a little longer. That Mobo makes me drool!
Finally, which looks better?
MSI P45 Platinum/ASUS P5Q Pro (max. 9.5k)
GTX 260 896MB (max. 11.5k)
old P4 3GHz OC
OR
Phenom II X4 940 3GHz BE (18.9k along with the mobo)
GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-UD4H
old nVidia GeForce 6600 256MB
????????????????????????????
All comments are welcome as usual! Plz gimme a reason for ur choice too... I shall wait a month or 2 before buying the missing part (either GFX card or proccy).

^^ AMD setup seems good. Good proccy & good mobo.

Dude a little suggestion if u ask me. Ur price range is quite impressive! If i was u, i wouldn't go for the C2Quads. U know by the end of this year or may be Q1 of 2010, there will be Core i5 replacing all of the C2D & C2Qs. I mean u got pretty good budget so why don't u go for Phenom II? It has got great Oc'ing & AFAIK there won't be another technology change for AMD for another year or may be more but spending more than 10K on C2Q don't seems to be a good deal.
Just think about it once. If u still don't feel this is a good idea then u 've ur options with u.
Or u can go with majority & check how many agrees with me.

@ keith_j_snyder2 I agree. Core i5 is on the cards with DDR3 memory. We can expect it to cost arnd 10-11k for the basic model and 15-16k & 50-52k for the other two! A very expensive upgrade path!
C2Q buyers may feel duped later. AM2+ socket is compatible with AM3 processors. Good value too! C2Q with great board is still expensive when compared to Phenom + great board!
@ saqib_khan Thanks!

Dude i don't think that Core i5 'll 've a basic price of 11K. I mean they won't keep Core i5 for 11K(lowest version), i mean they already 've Core i7 at a bit marginal price. As far i think they 'll be like replacing C2D & C2Q for prices & there 'll be cheaper DDR3 memory when market got DDR3 support all over it.
@sunny, i tried many shops for HD 4770 but only "golchhaIT" gave it for 7.2 K and others gave it for 7.6 K without VAT and i knew "sagar computers" shop keeper so he gave a little discount for me @ 10 K take a samsung 2233sw monitor without VAT and other shops told 10.6 K for the same one!! so i havent made any bargain for that but will surely reduce 1 or 1.5 K from the total amount !!
and thank you for ur support sunny
@Techalomaniac, thank you for the links and it was very gratefull and there are many models in NEO category and i am going to buy neo v2 that is better and all this mobo doesnt support crossfire then which mobo supports crossifre within 7 K budget !!
@keith_j_snyder2, i really understood wat ur telling but my uncle who is coming with me to help me buy a good system warned me dont go for AMD as i dont know OC and other things i that just use Intel whihc is suited best for me, so when i earn my own money that time i would go for my choice as for of now, i cant argue with him as he is paying for my system
