i can't wait, because if i wait for GPU then i must wait for Sandy Bridge or Bulldozer.

can you please let me know which build is good.

^^for gaming you need a more feature rich mobo or better gfx card?

For gaming you prefer a stock gfx card that atleast does the job or mobo put together by a toddler with no quality control and that can eventually fail and end up taking rounds with service centres?hmm?

The only near decent from MSI I've seen is Msi P55-GD80. GD55 and 65 is utter crap. MSI x58-e is a sad board that fails you when you're using all the memory+ pcie slots. Biostar has no quality control and most likely they will go back to the good ol' days of wafer thin boards. Potato chips, anyone?

i7+ sabertooth rig by a mile- good enough board with good enough performance. If you have to save money, don't buy a cooler now. You're better off wiping out the thermal paste from the stock cooler and use something like older mx-2, mx-3 (If you can get it) or ocz freeze.

As for the 10k question- its not everyday that you can buy a pc. You're going to keep it for what? 3-4 years in average? I believe this should answer your question.

Hi All,

Thanks for your help, i have decided AMD Phenom II X6 1055t

now, i am looking for mobo
ASUS M4A89GTD OR MSI 890FXA-GD70 for AMD Phenom II X6 1055t.

i am not going to overclock, but ill use multipal GPU (crossfire) and at present, ill add approx 4 GB Memory, but in future, ill upgrade memory upto 16 GB (it will be required for Virtual Machine if i testing on this).

Please let me know your view or suggest me good mobo within 10000/- Approx
