@Absolute0,

remember Intel PIII issues and Intel recalled thousands of processors?
remember Intel PIV overheating issues?

The only bad product in AMD was Phenom 9xxx series and that too only the first batch which was fixed later.

Phenom II X4 is slowly moving towards core i7 and it offers terrific VFM.

I have been AMD user for more than 6 years and am proud to be one. (and my first procesor was Intel PIII)

here is an example:

1) Intel E8400 (8.5k) + gigabyte/asus P45 based motherboard (5.5k) + 4gig ram (2.5k) + Palit 9500GT (3.5k) amounts to 20k

2) AMD Phenom II X2 550 (5.5k) + Gigabyte/ASUS 780G board (4.3k) + 4gig ram (2.5k) + PowerColor HD4870 512MB GDDR5 card (9.5k) amounts to 21k.

Your choice which way you want to go.

depends on which graphics card you pick.

also, if possible wait for 785G chipset based motherboards (about a week or two)

think i will be going with "PowerColor Radeon HD4870".
also what will be the price of 785G based mobo.

so which psu/smps should i go with?

Bond, Desi Bond!
price should be at the same level that 780G is right now and it takes ddr3 ram and comes with am3 socket which will be easier for you to upgrade later

Corsair VX450: 3.8k-4.2k
GlacialTech 650AA: 4.5k

these go well with HD4870.

if you are Overclocking lover, this is the GPU to go for :)

hi all,
can anybody suggest a good computer h/w store in pune, where i can get a good deal for amd phenom2 X2 550 black edition processor.

i checked in DCC, they quoted the price at 5.9k... which is above street price.

btw, when you pick cabinet, make sure the GPU can fit easily in the cabinet and also you need two PCI-E power cables for Palit GTX260 sonic edition (molex to pcie power converter is very easy to find and you might get one such conveter in the GPU package)

Desi suggested u a good config

if u r going for powercolor 4870 , u can go for PALIT gTX 260 sonic its almost equals to HD 4890 with its OCed version

Try to get 790GX motherboard so u can unlock from 2 cores to 4 cores !!

still its possible for Phenom 2 550 - phenom 2 720 its not

Whats ur budget for processor + mobo + GPU

Phenom II X2 550 + 780G should cost around 10k. (do you have DDR2 ram already?). add the remaining 2.5k to 8k budget of GPU and get GTX260 :) and put remaining 1.5k into PSU budget.
