So after considerations to GPU, PSU and CPU here's the current config in mind. Thank you for all your help :)


Component | Make | Price Processor |AMD Phenom II x4 945 |5200
Motherboard |Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H|3700
RAM |Corsair 2GB 1333 Mhz|1200
Graphic Card |GTS 450|6200
HDD |1 TB WD|2500
DVD |LG 24x DVD RW | 800
Case |CM Elite 310 |1500
PSU |FSP Saga II 500 W | 2100
| Total |23200
Plus vat = 24360


But it overshoots the budget. I want to cut it down by around 2 - 3 K if possible. Any Ideas?

SB would totally go over my budget right? So planning to go with Phenom II x4 945... Please advice on the discontinuation issue.

I'll sure try to get 955 BE.. It's around 5800 on street. I'm spending extra on SMPS n GTS 450.
So, any other proccy which is a bit cheaper?

I saw reviews for different brands of GTS 450. The Palit brand card: "Palit GTS 450 Sonic Platinum" which is factory overclocked, was the fastest n with more features. I'm planning to buy it tomorrow. Is it available on SP Road?

Second preference is "EVGA GTS 450 FTW" which might be a bit costlier than the Palit one.

@manju: Dude, great pics. Also you have to step up your cable management. Also tie the extra length of cables using thread in the back of the case, instead of using twist ties.

I got the rig :) But BSOD when installing windows :(

Here's the config:

Phenom x4 955 BE (yaaay!)
Gigabyte 880G GM ud2h
MSI NGTS450 Cyclone OC edition :)
2 GB DDR3 1333 Mhz Transcend RAM (Corsair was Rs. 300 costlier)
1 TB WD with 64 mb cache
MRON 700watts PSU (12 v rating of 35 A) (Corsair price was close to 3000 so got this 1)
Bijli cab was out of stock. Got a normal cab with good ventilation.


When I tried to istall Windows XP SP2 on this, It installed and restarted and just after the windows logo screen, gave me the BSOD! Is this because of my poor choice of SMPS? I got 700 Watts with 12v rating of 32 A!! Is this not enough?? I removed the MSI Graphics card and tried again. Same! BSOD at the same spot.

I'm going to SP road today and exchange the PSU if that's the problem. Reply fast pls!

@Max_Power: Dude, the first thing that you got to do once you buy your rig is,
1. Shoot all the components when you are unboxing
2. Shoot every stage of you assembling
3. Post every pic here for us to see it, as that is the reward for us, for suggesting and helping you nail the perfect components.

Thank you so much for your help! I wanted to do that. The retailer said he won't give warranty if there was any problem if I assembled it myself. So cud'nt shoot unboxing. Once I was home, I was too frustrated with the BSOD to think of anything else. I will post the pics of the assembled rig soon. Thanks again guys!! :)

---------- Post added at 05:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 AM ----------

I removed and installed RAM again. No change. The Windows startup was super fast. The logo screen came up and dissappeared in a second and so did the BSOD! Cud'nt read error msg.

Try another slot for RAM.

Try to reinstall windows.

If you can get the error message, it will really help. Try to shoot a pic.
