^^Well in that case SB is the way to go cause all the above apps are CPU intensive.Then you gotta compromise on the GPU.

^^Neither!!Its 8.5k.Its the cheapest online price at theitwares.And I agree with you : Why overshoot the budget by going for SB for a gaming rig?A decent enough processor with s beefier GPU should be the primary concern for a gaming rig, within the budget ofcourse.No point getting SB & a weak card.I think those who have the budget for SB it makes sense or if they are ready to wait for the prices to come down(only God knows when thats gonna happen).

if i want sandy bridge rig than exatly whats the minimum budget for it.

if you want to go with amd then you might like this configuration...
amd 965-7900
gigabyte ga 880ga ud3h-9000
g skill ripjaws 1600-3600
corsair 550vx-4750
cooler master elite 335-1800
wd green 500gb-1750
samsung b2030-6000
amd hd 6850-11000
creative m4500-2100

exactly-47900

looking at this config i can only say, WTH !!!

whats wrong in that config:
1. super costly board.
2. costly ram (which is basically useless cause AMD's memory controller isn't good enough).
3. higher rated PSU. not needed.
4. Power saver HDD.
5. costly speakers.

if i talk about priority then i would like to go with productivy. And apps i will be using are adobe cs5,orcad,autocad, some compilers and vm's.
But what if we opt for a decent res monitor.

than no to Phenom II X4. either SB or if AMD, than Phenom II X6 but seriously not worth it.

minimum budget for your sb would go to around 55k.

on what grounds are you saying it? a barebone SB PC will cost roughly 25k, maybe less

I'd suggest the following for AMD -

AMD phenom II X6 1090t @ 11k (balance of gaming and productivity)
Gigabyte 880GMA-UD2H @ 5.5k
2*2 GB DDR3 1333MHz Kingston @ 2.5k
WD Caviar blue 500GB @ 1.8k
Corsair VX 450 @ 3.7k
NZXT Gamma @ 2k
BenQ G2220HD @ 7.5k/Dell ST2220L @ 9K
MSI HD 6850 @ 10.5k
Razer K+M combo @ 2.2k (for gaming)
DVD Writer @ 1k
Total 48.8/50.3k (Speakers of OP's choice)

BTW if buying from SMC, you may not be able to get VX450 and caviar blue 500GB (when i went to purchase my rig they said that VX 450 is being discontinued so they havn't got it and caviar blue is in huge demand so i had to settle for seagate for my rig).

--no DVD writer--

SMC keeps FSP. I went there today and they were selling fsp saga to someone.

if we take a look at benchmarks than sb cpu's are great and 2500k is a loot cuz its estimated price will be abt 11k.
So i want to stick with 2500k and a p67 mobo even if i hav to compromise on gfx.

what is the price of a p67 mobo and we can save 3k on a 6850 .
And what abt buying a cheaper ups and a low res screen.

I am the night...I am...
I want to say something on this. Anybody going for a fast gpu like a 6950 or gtx 570 or higher, should not sacrifice on the cpu completely. Athlon 2 x3's ,x4's and cheaper i3's are somewhat inadequate for these. There should be a balance between both ends.

So a person going for these gpu's should consider higher phenom2 x4's, i5 7 series or phenom 2 x6 processors atleast. The newer sandybridge cpu's are in fact highly recommended owing to the amazing performance they offer. So some money also has to be spent on a cpu rather than on a gpu only. Currently i5 2400 ,2500 and 2600 are terrific gaming processors and will utilise faster cards to the fullest.

Thats my take on this. Lets see what others comment.

@vickybat, i want a faster cpu like intel core i5 2500k and for it i can sacrifice a little on gfx card.
if we think abt 5770 ,it is'nt really bad after some overclocking it will be able to perform better. plz correct me if i m wrong.

Anything above or equal a 5850 is enough these days for full HD gaming. Unless we get new consoles and the game changes. Be careful while buying a real high end GPU. For sure do not go sub-par with PSU and motherboard. They are the cruz and core. CPU / GPU / RAM can be changed when ever one wishes.

if you dont need a ups -

Intel Core i5 2500K @ 11.5k (supposed)
P67 Motherboard @ 10k (supposed)
Corsair DDR3 CMX4GX3M1A1333C9 4GB @ 2.3
Sapphire HD6850 @ 10.5k
Seagate 500GB 7200.12 @ 1.7k
Corsair VX450W @ 3.5k
NZXT GAMMA @ 2k
Dell ST2220L @ 8.5k

Total - 50k

if UPS is needed. get APC 800VA @ 3.5k. change the GPU to HD5770 then.

its a great config and we can save some bucks on benq lcd.

tell me if dell st2220l is better than benq 21.5in full hd monitor.

the only problem with 5770 is it isnt future proof. am i right?
but can it play current high end games on high settings.
and won't be there an added effect of having a 2500k cpu in the rig?
