yea, thanks.

stick to xp for 3d work?
i5 has to power, while a thuban has the cores and oc potential

which gpu to go for then?

clmlbx, currently there is no such compatibility issues with AMD drivers and they are as much stable as the Nvidia drivers. I know not before long time, AMD cards used to suffer from poor driver support but right now they've improved a lot and are on the same level of their competitors.

And regarding rendering, AMD cards do have support APP (previously known as ATI Stream), AMD equivalent of CUDA, which is supported by most of the rendering software like 3D Studio MAX, Maya, all the adobe products and they also offer nice speed up.

^^ well can't much comment on it as I never used AMD Cards.. Well I am using Nvidia & I am satisfied with it. .so I will recommend that. :neutral: :)

@ op :- I can't tell you exact Graphic card model but any thing Which has 256bit or higher memory interface, supports openGl as high as possible. Get it. and in IMO Nvidia . Don't buy Palit cards

clmlbx, just to inform you, at a price range of 10K, only a two or 3 cards are available with 256 bit BUS. They are GTX 460 1GB SE, HD 6790 and HD 6850.

But even today's 128 or 192 bit cards can beat previous gen 256 bit cards because of the advanced architecture and use of GDDR5 memory. using high bus width is not cost effective the solution is using high speed GDDR5 memory which can send data at 4 times the speed of its memory speed instead of using high bus width.
A HD 6850 with 256 bit BUS but armed with GDDR5 memory can provide more memory bandwidth (128 Gbps) than an older GTX 260 with 448 bit BUS (111 Gbps) but armed with slower GDDR3 memory.

Thanx for info. Right, Memory is also important with memory interface. and a correction GTX 460 768Mb has 192bit while GTX 460 1Gb has 256bit.

Since i5 2400 is a non K processor, you can't overclock it. But you don't really need to overclock. At stock it can beat the higher end phenom quad cores like 970 or 980 and even the 6 core 1090T.

At your budget it is the best solution. If you wanna overclock Sandybridge procesor then the cheapest K series processor is i5 2500K which will cost you almost 11K. Then you need a decent P67 or Z68 based mobo. The cheapest P67 mobo from intel is around 6.5K. But P67 does not have onboard Video output, so you have to invest in a Video card right now. Cheapest Z68 will come atleast at 7K (from Intel) and good mobos from MSI, Asus or Gigabyte will cost you over 8K. So for just getting CPU + Mobo + onboard Disply you need to spend 11K + 8K = 19K here.

The remaining 6K can be used as
Gskill Ripjaw 4 GB 1600 MHz @ 1.65K
LG DvD RW Drive @ 0.9k
Dell IN2030M 50.8cm (20 inch) W HD Monitor with LED @5.8k

Total 27.35K excluding Gfx card.
