you could always try to make your own 3D projector...but thats no easy and cheap task too, not sure if it works too...i am so so bad in optics.. :(

seems like i had misread something somewhere.
But dosto, 1 thing i want to ensure u is that, this 3d is not fully gimmick. Now, what about the budget !!!! It will hav to b raised to 50K. I hav enough cash , but i feel it is not wise to spend on high end stuff, when u can manage with arrangements ( kinda JUGAAD) ( like- get Amd Quad inplace of Intel, 120Hz CRT monitor in place of 3D monitor. Read- pymol.sourceforge.net/stereo3d.html ). Well thats y i have been trying to cut the budget because i can. I mean build a rig enough for 120 fps (ok! Make it 40k), buy Nvidia glasses-10K, used CRT-5K. & thats it.
But the problem has been, that i cudnt contact anybody gaming in 3d, i tried talking to a guy in mtbs3d.com who had suggested for AMD core Quad , but donno where is he busy.
Well, then as per your opnions, i'll get a stronger quad core.

you dont need 120fps, even 40-50fps on a 3D setup is a huge thing. The resolution of the CRT will not be really high i guess, so a GTX 460 should be enough. So the rig ishu suggested is enough, get it and tell us about your results.

Woh man, thats quite boosting comment. Well the screen i chose is HP P1130 (dual i/p) HD 21" 120hz refresh.
Medium resolution is also enoug i think so.
Well i'l get it soon. Thanks all

40 to 50 fps on 3D. I want atleast 40 and optimally 60 on a 2D rig.

My suggestion would be ditch 3D until it becomes a little more mainstream.

Well well, both make good points & i getting greatly confused what to do.
Well i'll do choose thing at last.
Wait & watch for some time wud b better. Till then i purchase a PC with good cpu & board, & keep it. Coz anyways i hav to buy a pc nowadays. I'll give some relax to this 3D craze.
Just do one favour plz, hehehe, another trouble 2 u. Phenom X4 9xx ? Or anything else. Any sli mobo? Dont bother about gpu.
Thanks

I would suggest to concentrate on a better rig instead of a full fledged 3d pc. Going for good components now and waiting for better 3d solutions seems perfect to me.

Lets say you invest in a good gpu like gtx 5 series or radeon 6series( radeon also has 3d support but amd has no 3d gaming solution like 3d vision but it will launch its own eventually) and buy a normal monitor now. When 3d is mainstream, then you can buy 120hz plus displays or even lenticular displays might come into picture.

Be more specific. whats the new budget and use?

Nothing like budget, just tell me the best Quad Core from AMD for gaming. I guess games dont require more than Quads. And a Mobo with SLI/CROSSFIRE. I want to go in steps, like, get a PC rite now. And later i cud get good GPUs when need to go 3D & when 3d gets mainstreamed. Coz i too feel now that i shud build it properly.

:?
The best quad core won't run games on its own. You need a good GPU too.

Anyways, for gaming its PII X4 955BE @ 7k.

i5 750 @ 8.5k will be a much better option if you can fork out the additional 1.5k.

But phenom 2 955be is listed as 6.75k in smc which should be a good cheaper deal. Invest in a good gpu with the money saved.

Dude 3D never gonna get mainstream, its one of the selling points of their high end products (high end monitors and so on..)

I guess for getting good fps, i5-760/750 is better. With some extra cash (8900/-), it is not a bad choice. No doubt about performance. All the benchmarks support its stand. Moreover SLI also. Turbo boost gives it an edge over others. Worth some extra money. But the problem is, no upgradability in 1156 socket,it is a dead end. But anyways, after some years, overclocking it may compensate for this non upgradability.

Is it better to run 2 gpu's on an SLI board with 2x8 lanes or same as running same gpu on a non SLI board with 16 lanes? I guess both shud b same conditions.

Yes 1156 is near end of life but so is AM3 (955BE).

And are you talking about 2 GPUs on 2x8 Vs 1 GPU on x16??
2x8 will win easily.

2 GPUs on 2x8 is going to be (nearly) same as 2 GPUs on 2x16.
