New mild gaming Rig dilemma
why do you say the GTX 768 MB is no good? In the reviews I have seen, there is not a huge , even significant difference between them.
No one wants to unlock cores of a P2 555BE ? would be nicer to at least have a fast dual core , possible quad, as most games are still not really multi core friendly. Most P2 555s are unlockable these days.
also, he is playing at low res, i mean really low. Even a 5770 is more than sufficient for playable frame rates. So shelling out for a 5850 aint wise, best get a GTX 460.

at full HD 1Gb performs best. for 20" or maybe less 768Mb will be better buy. i should have put forward a better explanation.
price difference between X2 & X4 too less. so if one wants X4, go for it rather than unlocking thing.
well yes. he can also go for the GTX 460 768Mb version, if he want some free goodies (CUDA, tessellation, etc).
HD5850 too highly priced. look for the cheapest GTX460. & no to Zotac & Palit. both have problem. now i don't think you'll be happy to sell out 12-14k only to end up with a card having some heating issues.

gtx 460 prices are still unknown...could be on the higher side too....and who says palit has problems...dunno what issues u are talking abt....if its heating issues...then proabably u need to rethink.....palit factory gpu coolers are fairly nice....perform really well under stock conditions.......but zotac gpu do overheat a bit...so that again depends on the kind of cooling solutions in the case and the environments ....so if gtx 460 prices do end up close to 12k then its would be the best choice becoz a little overclock...should help it achieve a performance near about to hd 5830...so that would be a really good choice.
Guys guys... all I want is the best possible config in 40k ... Even if a component is useless for me now it mite be useful wen i do make the upgrade, which in my case will be the monitor... I WILL and WILL SURELY be changing the monitor within 1 year max and I dont wanna end up on the wrong side in terms of GPU den.. Dats why i want to have the best in 40k guyzzz 
Now the question is will 5770 HD also do well wen I do make the switch to an HD monitor ?? And i wont be overclocking atleast for a couple of years now

new prices at erodov.com are:
Rs 11,900 - GTX 460 768MB
Rs13,900 - GTX 460 1GB
both from zotac.
according to TPU, the performance difference aint too much even at high res. At the res he wants to play, the difference is 3%

there is no use of seting for the cheapest phenom. 635 performs better.

Speakers : Altec Lansing 2.1 VS2621 1650
PSU : Corsair VX550W @ 4.5k (Dont change this.)

Guys I would luv to get my hands on the HD 5850.. but I simply cannot justify spending that much of money on a GPU... (budgetry constraints on another side )
I thnk 5770 wud suffice for my needs as I am not into hard core gaming ...
Guyz one more doubt : whats the basic diff btwn an Athlon and a Phenom ?

the difference is that the....athlon doesnt have the l3 cache.....and that proves athlon is lower on chart of performance in games and lower threaded applications....though athlon is quite head turner when it comes to vfm but phenom 2 be's cant be compared...but if its locked multiplier cpus you are talking about then its better to go with the athlon.....negligible drop in performance when it comes to gaming

IMO HD5850 is a wise option in a long run. I chose HD4670 for budget constraint(At that time HD4850 was around 7k and 4670 was 4.7k). But now my 4670 struggles with few games and the number will increase from few to all. I dont want you to do the same mistake.
Why we buy a good CPU? For a long run, so why dont we get a good GPU for the same reason.
But the choice is yours.
