the intel board we mentioned is superb for everything. the price is too sweat.
yes you can go for the dell too. but dont compromise on gpu. get 6950 1gb or 560ti.

i found good links for various connectors explanation -
DVI vs. VGA - NVIDIA Forums
HDMI vs DVI

Dell st2220L is now replaced by Dell ST2220M which is not as good as st2220l and is said to have some issues though i guess its still available at smc (not completely sure)
@ jaskanwar i guess benq has removed Benq G2220HD from indian market and replaced it with benq G2222HDL check on their website G2220HD is no where 2 be found

AFAIK ST2220M is not a replacement for 2220L. 2220M is non-HDMI version of 2220L!

both are listed on dell website and smc in india also has it.
Dell ST2220L 21.5â€￾ W Full HD Monitor with LED

it might be that your own local dealer doesnt have it!!

yes but 6950 is worth and futureproof.

Only for gaming 6850 will be a good choice as it uses DX11. Else go with GTX460.

even a 460 supports dx11 but 6850 is better performer. and all these are meant for gaming!!

+1 for 6950 ....
Any benchmark price for 2 gb 6950 ???
I am confused betwn 6870 and 6950 ???

6950 all the way.

Actually i am assembling this rig for my close friend.
We want your final words about:

Ati 6850 1GB or gtx 460 1GB (for the purpose of latest gaming @ 19**by 1080 res with all settings on or high )
Any good verdict of Original intel p67 board under 8k.

What is price of 6950 anyways?

6950 @18k as per SMC.

Between 6850 and 460, get 6850.

^^ no. its just enough. well, a 1.5Gb one will fit the bill better but no such version from AMD or its partners.
