bishes!!!
both these config. have same performance?
need to upgrade my computer
both these config. have same performance?
GB's first config was a killer. i commend you GB.
but gb i trust fsp saga II 500w more than corsair builder series cx400. and why pay 400 rs more. you can also check out tagan 500 should bbe a lil more than fsp.
why didnt you suggest a ddr2 compatible mobo op has 4gb ddr2 with him. is it equally difficult to find an amd ddr2 mobo as is lga 775?
bharat what cabinet do you currently have?and if you can double your budget to 40k you can get the latest intel sandy bridge.
so work out if you can shell out 10-15k more youll have mini beast.
or you could just buy motherboard ,graphic card ,processor,smps,monitor.

@OP: DDR2 is almost at the end of its life cycle. DDR3 gives you a much better performance and is already becoming de facto.
Intel config has a much better performance than AMD

^^if i were him i will get a HD6850 or 6870 instead of that intel config.

Gaurav's Intel suggestion gives you everything, including DDR3 RAM
@Jas: So, people dont need to worry about future proofing their systems to some extent atleast?

not needed. corsair cx400w or fsp saga II 500w sufficient upto 6850.

@lordirecto: correct yourself. intel has better performance above 7.5 k and just wait for BD to arrive in Q3.

what will be futureproof in terms of gaming? 6850 or 5770? 5770 hardly gives 30fps at high settings.

really? then why does the site list minimum of 500W psu for hd6850? anyways thanks for correcting.

+100 to that. you do not need i5 for gaming but certainly need hd6850. athlonII x4+ hd6850@14k much better for gaming than i5-2500k@ 11k.

^^depends. for athlon system + a 6850 a cx400w will be sufficient but not for i5 2500k + 6850. so you need to see whole system.

You mentioned it yourself, Q3. That is more than three months away.
Mybad, I was looking at the overall system. I stand corrected, 6850 is better.

@lordirecto:do accept that intel does not beat amd below 7.5k but we still see people purchasing c2d just because they dont know about amd. i remember i had asked one of the pc assemblers to bring me an athlonII X4 635 and he told me: yeh intel ka processor toh nahi lagta hai, shayad celeron ka hoga. it was joke of the year for me.

@utkar: Dude, I am talking about raw performance. You are talking about price/performance ratio.
I still am correct, as I did not look at the budget when telling about SB proccy, which was merely a suggestion.

^^you mean to say that you do not look at price while purchasing? i think you have got too much money. price/performance ratio is what people look at and not raw performance. raw performance is only for enthusiasts who have a lot of money.

@utkar: Are you serious? This is a discussion thread, where people voice their opinions and then decide which is the best solution to OP's requirements. From what you are telling, you seem to be following a set of rules when you get on TDF.
Just because I tell a SB proccy outperforms current AMD proccy, regardless of price, does not mean I have given the final word to OP and everyone has to acknowledge it. To make it very clear, I need not think like you do for any reason, which is not something that you can dispute with me.
I prefer a discussion to be open in all avenues so that the OP gets an idea of the different proccys out there, which can only help him, and not otherwise. So unless you prefer to keep people in the dark when you give them information, I do not see why you have to insist that I have to agree that AMD has a better performance/price ratio(which does not give any information about 2nd generation Intel proccys).

^^if it was in that sense then it is ok. of course i7-980x is better than phenomII X6. if you dont consider prices. sorry for creating a quarrel but i just wanted to make it clear to op that he cant get a better intel proccy if he spends less than 7.5 k on it.

^ Yes, its true that Intel price their proccys higher than AMD. If only AMD can create an awareness in budget-oriented markets like India, they will beat Intel in no time. I wish someone from AMD was here to see this thread.
As for the spending power of OP, it is him who has to tell us how much he can spend on various components after looking at their performance/price ratio.

bishes!!!
as i saw the whole thread i finally came to a point... why not take these parts you are talking about in different installments... cause if i decide to take these all together i'll have to compromise with the quality.. and i'm really not in a favor of that... so i guess i can buy the graphics card for now.. the hd 6850 you guy are talking about... will it work on my ddr2 config.
processor- intel p4 ht
motherboard- Intel® Desktop Board D945GCCR
ram- 4 gb(2x2) kingston ram
smps- dont know much about it but its of i ball
hdd- 160 gb
and cabinet is a simple one i guess from zebronics
