i wud suggest u to get a mobo which supports SLi.setup a 9800GTX+ SLi and ur gud to game will all eye candies turned on.
Yup i too am inclined towards the nVIDIA way (dnt knw y, maybe the trust i hv in this brand sine i started using its cards way back from TNT2 then FX5200 and now currently in my old system a 7600GS)
bet 4870 & 9800GTX+, the 4870 is surely a better card no doubt.here again i wud suggest u to go the nvidia way due to better & mature driver support.
u cant compare 2 x 9800GTX+ in SLi with a single 4870 1GB.thats unfair.
another gpu that u cud try to get is a GTX280.last quote that i got from a vendor in Kolkata is 25k.
the vendor told me tat a 512MB nVIDIA 9800 GTX+(plus) wud cost me 11K so i MAY hv 2 of these cards in SLi
Also, 25K is way too high for a GTX280 (so not gonna spend tat much, as of now)
I will be really happy to hv 2 (512MB) x 9800 GTX+ in SLi
MSI X58 motherboard is having issues and few users on digit had to return that and bought Gigabyte mobo.
Yup, thanx to u too again for reminding me on this issue, i also went thru with the review tat amitash wrote in the Reviews section abt hs Core i7+MSI X58 mobo.
So, im staying away from tat mobo and hv asked the prices of:
1.) Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5
and
2.) Gigabyte GA-EX58-Extreme
Hope, these 2 are way better than the
Gigabyte DA-EX58-DS4
Phenom II is nowhere near to Core i7 so you need not worry about waiting for anything
for Nvidia, go for GTX260 and ASUS P6T Deluxe motherboard (supports crossfire and SLI)
Thanks to the sheer power of core i7, you may not need to do any overclocking and you can do OC'ing on stock heat sink.
Oh, if tat true abt Pnenom-II or even if its false, i will still go to buy this Core i7 as i hv already waiting way too long for an upgradation (since 2 yrs)
so u can see how im in NO MOOD
to wait any more
Also, i will go for 2 (512MB) 9800GTX+ cards in SLi (maybe on a gigabyte EX58-UD5 or on a EX58-Extreme)
between HD4850 and HD4870, I pick HD4870 but if you are going to stick to 19" display, HD4870 may not be necessary. Get HD4850 or 9800GTX+. 9800gtx+ is faster that 4850 but costs 2k-3k extra
Yup, i will go tat extra 2K bucks to get 9800GTX+
2. if you are getting GA-EX58-DS4 then get 2x Palit HD 4850 Sonic With 512MB DDR3 ram each. Tey will cost you Rs. 17.4K
I may decide b/w these 2 mobos:
gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 or on a
GA-EX58-Extreme
hope, both of them are way better than a
DA-EX58-DS4 ???
3.. Core i7 can be oced to 4Ghz without any issue but you have to use 3rd party cpu cooler.
4. core i7 920 can be safely Oced to 3.4 Ghz with stock cooler though
I would suggest to stick with 3 or 3.2Ghz as in summer time the temp will rise uinless you are in a AC in your room.
Ok, so as of now i will let my core i7 920 LIVE to its fullest (w'out OCed) on a stock Heat sink
and later (wen i feel like OCing it) will get a 3rd party cooler say a
ThermalRight Ultra 120 Extreme
Hope, this is really the best 3rd party cooler..
5. Your current ups may not sustain the load say when you are gaming so it's wise to opt for 650va ups atleast.
Are u sure ??
and then wat abt the Spike guard ?? do i hv to get a better one?? (any specific rating or power rating) ?? and wich model of APC ups shud i go for then ??? (i currently hv a
APC BACK UPS ES 500 UPS)
Asus P6T is gud mobo but the only prob is that inspite of having 3 pcie x16 slots its doesnt support Tri-SLi.since he's spending so much i think its better to get a mobo which supports tri-sli.atleast he can add a 3rd card later on.
Yup, tats the reason tat im concentrating on these 2 mobos:
1.) Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5
and
2.) Gigabyte GA-EX58-Extreme (supports 3 way SLi and CFX)

EDIT: i will post the prices of:
1.) Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5
and
2.) Gigabyte GA-EX58-Extreme
by today evening (6th Feb, 09)

I am plannign to get these for my new CPU:
1.) Processor: Core i7 920 (2.66 Ghz)
2.) Mobo: (either of the 2)
or
3.) RAM: Corsair G SKILL (Rs.7K) (plz, is this good RAM as compared to Corsair's TR3X3G-1333C9) ? im really confused here as the dealer says that this is NOT available in market due to warranty issues, so i need ur suggestions really badly..
4.) GPU: nVIDIA 2x(512MB) 9800GTX+ (in SLi)
(wats that small (3 inch) metal/connector strip known as, tat connectes 2 cards wen they are in SLi on a mobo)??
5.) PSU: Corsair 650W (model: CMPSU 650TX)
6.) HDD: WD 500GB
