I have two suggestion for you, one in Intel based and another one is Intel based. At a budget or 70k, Intel is the best choice, but now with AMD hexacore processors are available, an AMD solution should also be there

Intel Based:

CPU: Core i7 930 2.8GHz @ 13.9k
Mobo: MSI X58 Pro @ 10.8k
Ram: Corsair TW3X4G-1600C9DHX 4GB Kit @ 6.6k
HDD: Seagate 1 TB HDD (32 MB Cache) @ 3.9k
Display: BenQ 24" G2420 FULL HD LCD Monitor @ 11.3k
KEyboard & Mouse: Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 @ 1.1k
Optical Drive: LG SATA 22X DVD Writer @ 1.1k
GPU: Sapphire HD5850 1GB GDDR5 @ 15.8k
PSU: FSP Epsilon 80 PLUS 700W @ 6k
Cabinet: Cooler Master Elite 342 @ 2.2k or Zebronics Antibiotic @ 2.5k


Total is coming around 73k. You can reduce price going for value rams, rather than performance rams which I have suggested. But as Core i7 has a high speed on-Die memory controller, high performance rams will show trmendous performance in Core i7 based system.

AMD Based


CPU: Phenom II X6 1090T 3.2GHz B.E. @ 13.9k
Mobo: Biostar TA890GXE @ 6.6k
Ram: Corsair TW3X4G-1600C9DHX 4GB Kit @ 6.6k
HDD: Seagate 1 TB HDD (32 MB Cache) @ 3.9k
Display: BenQ 24" G2420 FULL HD LCD Monitor @ 11.3k
KEyboard & Mouse: Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 @ 1.1k
Optical Drive: LG SATA 22X DVD Writer @ 1.1k
GPU: Sapphire HD5850 1GB GDDR5 @ 15.8k
PSU: FSP Epsilon 80 PLUS 700W @ 6k
Cabinet: Cooler Master Elite 342 @ 2.2k or Zebronics Antibiotic @ 2.5k

total is 68.5k. Now this system is better performer than the Intel Core i7 930 based one, as the new hexacore from AMD is faster than Core i7 930.

Ya buddy a hexcore amd makes sense but if the op is a gamer then the i7 rig is better as it utilizes the gpu properly and churns out more fps. In other apps they are neck and neck, making them pretty even.

The former has hyperthreading making it work with 8 cpu cores(4 physical 4 logical) & the latter has 6 physical cores that allow it to perform as good as its intel counterpart.

Opt for the hexcore but if you game then the i7 is good for you and the performance of both cpu's are very even.

don't recommend such shitty cabbies for a good budget like this! go for a CM 690 or CM 690II

Now this system is better performer than the Intel Core i7 930 based one, as the new hexacore from AMD is faster than Core i7 930.
only in multi threaded applications!

AMD Thuban rocks but Intel is still better for gaming with a good budget!

@ mavihs

Buddy i agree with you.The intel i7 930 is still a fantastic proccy which beats thuban 1090t in a majority of multithreaded apps but loses only in x264 encoding by a small margin.An OVERCLOCKED i7 930 can demolish the phenom 2 X6 1090T.

Check this link & also this.

Op can go with the i7 rig but the thuban is also a good choice and also has low power consumption.

i said thuban beats i7 in multi threaded applications specially in apps like Maya, 3DMax, etc!

Op can go with the i7 rig but the thuban is also a good choice and also has low power consumption.
i didn't say thuban was a bad choice, i said i7 would be a better choice for him in this case!

No buddy the 1090t x6 cannot beat the i7 in 3dmax but its the other way round.
Check this out.
No,Thuban isn't a bad choice but the i7 930 is still better overall.

Go for a better psu as its a very important part of the system.The psu gives dc power to all components in the system and efficiency plays a very important role.

For your system go for a corsair vx550 or a modular psu like corsair hx620 for better cable management.For prices refer LATEST PRICES section in this forum.

Regarding blue ray drives wait out a bit for prices to fall & blue ray to become mainstream.If you can't wait then go for sony drive.

when you planning to buy, according to that i can tell you the price of the BD Drive & NZXT cabbies.
Currently NZXT cabbies arn't available in Delhi though you can get them shipped but they'll cost 1.5K more here!

Well every thing is finalized then, just couple of things.
1st of all, I observed that a lot of people said that Intel is still better in gaming. Now don't get too generalized. Phenom II 1090T in all the latest games like Battle Field Bad company, Metro 2033, Fallout 3, where games are starting to getting multi core optimized, beating Core i7 930, and if overclocked a little, it can even challenge the mighty i7 980. So 1090T is better in gaming than Core i7 930. Please check reviews from some reputated and well-proven site like AnandTech, Guru3d etc. 1055T is under powered

2ndly
don't recommend such shitty cabbies for a good budget like this! go for a CM 690 or CM 690II
Mavihs, Just wanna know what do you mean by it? Are the shitty cabbies going to burst or increase your CPU temperature to make it burst in flames. If you ask the forum members, lot of people using these cabinets without any trouble, and beleive me, some of them are also having very high configuration
I know Cooler Master CM690 will be better than them, but did u check that if every thing is coming under 70k or not. When someone asked something within a budget, just check your suggestion is fulfilling this criteria or not.
Other wise I could have suggested Core i7 980, isn't it? it will be then the top performer.

Sure latest games are optimised for multicore but they don't utilize more than 4 cores.Anandtech even says lynnfield chips are better suited for gaming.

Clock per clock and core per core intel's nehalem/gulftown architecture is still unbeatable.An overclocked x6 cannot beat the i7 similarly clocked.All the reviews mention this fact.
What AMD brings to the table is value and affordability.For content creation Thuban is good but does not have a big lead over the i7.An overclocked i7 can easily trounce the X6.

look, vickybat, u r getting too generalized again> I know Core architecture is the best desktop architecture now and core to core performance AMD Phenom II is no where near to it.
But I am saying except for some benchmarks, Phenom II 1090T is better performer than i7 930. I am not saying X6 is better than I7

also one shouldn't look at just the processor. one can't just go out & buy a i7 980X & think it'll encode his movie in 5min which takes 1hr on his old Athlon XP or P4. what about the cost of motherboard? the added cost of a graphics card. all these matters. also not everyone is a overclocker. also both i7 930 & X6 1090T falls in same region. winning or loosing doesn't matter much cause both proccies beat each other by a small margin, usually.

i'll say, if OP got the money to spend, get i7. but he'll have to settle for a midrange card. with X6 he maybe able shoot for the HD5870 also. maybe.
 

vickybat

@ cilus

No buddy i'm not getting generalized.I have never mentioned anything about i7 980x but was always reffering the i7 930.The 930 beats the x6 everywhere except video creation and x264 encoding.An overclocked 930 can easily trounce the x6 1090t in almost all apps and thats the truth as said by all reviewers.You can refer the above links.

@Sam.Shab

The op can buy the 930 and still can spend on the 5870 or gtx480 because the x6 1090t and i7 930 costs the same roughly around 13.5k.
So he doesn't need to settle in for a midrange card afterall.
