New AMD 64 rig !!!

[somewhere_i_belong]

I knw i'm startin' to get on ur nerves guys by askin' so dang many questions but the thing is i wanna be at least a lil' future proof wen' i buy this rig ...
So please understand n help me as u have been doin' till now.

Yeah SLI mobo's are very expensive right now(arnd 14-15k region ), but in the long run if one goes for SLI then they justify the cost

Have u read the review at anandtech which states tht the boards based on the nforce 4 ultra chipset are the same as SLI ones except with the SLI switch in them turned off which can be turned on....
Quite astonishin' n interestin'

Now could you guys please post some mobos based on the nforce 4 Ultra chipset (i wld prefer ASUS or MSI)

Secondly if i wanna buy ne of these boards with PCI-e slots i would require a PCI-e card now i'll still like to go in for the 6600GT (Pci-e ) one as i think it still kicks the other cards azz in the benchmark tests....
So could you please tell me which companies have released the 6600 GT(Pci-e) card n wat are their prices respectively.....

Thanks a ton your help would be truly appreciated again.....

Yeah read the nf4u mobo to sli conversion @ AT, but right now no distris are importing mobos based on Nf4u here (or i might be not aware of it). The gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 is based on the nf4 chipset not ultra but looks like u will have 2 import it. NF4 mobo are still very nascent and rare.

6600GT is a good mid-segment card, the cards available in India would be
XFX - 13.5k
Gainward (in Feb) NA
Asus, MSI, Ledtek although for these u will have to contact the distris themselves(if u do get to know the prices drop me a pm).

A8N Sli >> i think you are being slightly overcharged here.
AMD 3200+ socket 939 wont come that cheap > shud b arnd 11-12k
and it runs at 2.2Ghz
If you want a entry level gfx card there is the x300, but i'd suggest that you get a XFX/Gainward/Asus 6600 card > arnd 7-8k
SMPS 500W >> 3k Powersafe 500W PSU.

Ofcourse the FX51/53 are better though the fx51 wud be hard to find. The fx-53 shud be arnd 25k or less. But the benchmark king of yesterday is the mainstream of today. So instead of spending so much on just the processor make sure that you get the best components for your PC which will ensure all round performance.

Prices u will have to hunt arnd for those..........

As for the Gainward Query, those cards will be definitely better than the ones available in the market and so personally i feel it will worth the wait. The prices are supposed to be better than the ones offered by XFX so lets wait and watch.
