Go for MSI RS 480 M2(Socket 939) Board. It has a PCI-Express Slot, ANd X300 CORE ONBOARD GRAPHICS WITH 128 MB OF ONBOARD MEM; with all the features you need to have in any high-class MBD.

you will save a lot money on graphics card and will be able to buy more RAM, bigger HDD, DVD RW, TV tuner, etc.

well, the decision is yours!

Sir
Thanks a lot your reply and time spent but
I may like to increase you database of knowledge by stating some very important facts about your thought:

All onbaord vga are crap ,they are slow and one can't oc as well with them,thus the use of a good mb is ruined.

X300,X600 and geforce 6200 series are crap and come in the category of lower side vga.
One should take 3d card as priority while buying a gaming rig and almost always compromise on cpu,mb,ram and any other thing IF REQUIRED.

I already have a 128mb radeon 9800 agp 8x.

I don't want a 939 socket mb as they are expensive and the cpus aren't much better performers.

I request all other members to stick to my thread.

go for gigabyte k8ns mobo for socket 939 AMD 64 processors

it has an AGP slot, use ur 9800 pro on it

cheap mobo for 6.5k only

all other features present on it

and yea the whole idea of urs abt GAMING RIG is CR@P

u are telling everything opposite

wht good is a rig with a cheap/compromised motherboard, CPU, RAM

instead a gfx card is the last thing one should primarily look for coz u can always upgrade to a better graphic card

if u go in for a compromised motherboard, u wont have much features to upgrade

think abt it ........

Well Sourabh, you thought but didn't understand my words.

What is better :
amd 2800 64
asus k8n
128mb geforce 6800
80gb 7200

or
amd 3400 64 754
asus k8n delux
80gb sata
128mb radeon 9600xt

all of todays boards give most of the essenetial features and most gaming systems don't need anything extra unless otherwise specified which abviosly will have a higher grade mb.
performance diff in playing games of range amd 3000-3400 is less noticiable than when shifting from 256mb radeon 9600xt or 128mb radeon 9700pro(not available) than for 128mbb geforce 6800.

What is the cost of
amd 3200 amd 3400 all 939
what is cost of amd 3400 754,preferably clawhammer
 

indro

In the zone
3200 is around 10000 , 3400 is around 13000 , I think they are based on the new castle core , which are available in india .

If U are a gamer U should definitely go for the
amd 2800 64
asus k8n
128mb geforce 6800
80gb 7200

The 6800 could give U mindblowing perfomance even if Ur CPU would be underpowered compared to GPU.

I say go for a 3200+ nd a 6600 GT as it might do the job well both in gaming nd in CPU intense apps.
