jaskanwarji is right

give it a thought when youll be getting a $500+ cpu for $294 in august . why buy 930 which is phasing out in leess then 45 days?

i5 750 makes a lil more sense here.

lyinfield cpu+mobo combo will be within 14-20k range.

or maybe op could go for core 2 duo E7500 +msi p965 neo 2 .

jasji do you have a better cost/performance setup for c2d.

c2d will hover in at 9-12k

if sandy bridge come out arnd feb he can go for upgrade with the saved money?

any core 2 quad suggestions?

better to go for i5 750 with any sub 8k mobo
i5 750 is a beast in performance too,we all know this
it easily competes with 955BE and 965BE in some tests

or else wait a couple of months for some new arrivals

in gaming i5 is better than both Phenom II 965 (although difference is marginal) and actually equivalent to Core i7 930 sin single GPU performance and when 2 Memory modules are used (i.e. dual channel config)

Reason:
1. Ci5 750 has double channel memory controller but speed per channel is faster than even i7 930. So in dual channel configuration, it has much memory bandwidth than i7.

2. Ci5 750 has On-Die PCI Express controller with X16 bandwidth, where as i7 has their PCIX controller in the motherboard North Bridge. So when single GPU is used, core i5 reduces the bottleneck of accessing Motherboard North Bridge, by directly accessing the GPU. However, in multi-Gpu config, it gets bottle-necked due to X8 lane allocation per GPU.

So @ 45k budget, for a gaming PC, core i5 750 is a much value for money choice.
Go for i5 750 @ 9.5k and MSI P55-GD45 @ 7k

[FONT=&quot]How about this config..................

Core i5 750 @ 9.6k
MSI P55-CD53 @ 6.7k
2X2 GB KingsTon/ADATA 1333 MHz DDR3 @ 5.4k
500 GB Seagate Sata @ 2k
CM GX550W @ 4.2k
NZXT Gamma @ 2k or Zebronics Reaper @ 1.7k
BenQ 22" G2220 FULL HD LCD Monitor @ 7.5k
Logitech Keyboard & Mouse @ 0.7k
MSI HD5830 Twin Frozr II 1GB @ 13.8k

Total is around 52k. Here going for i5 and a p55 mobo enables us to add a high power Graphics card in the config. If OP can go for another 2k, then easily a HD 5850 can be added with a 55k budget.
Now i5 750+HD 5850 is better in gamibg than i7 930+HD 5770

actually his budget is 40k to 45k

he was just asking for minimum i7 930 config...so i gave him...

i have already suggested him in the previous page the i5 config with hd5770 for 47k

yeh cilus ney galti se 5830 likh diya hai kya? 5830 to crap card hai na? why pay 13.8k for that. 5770 makes more sense.
