[VERY VERY URGENT] PC Upgrade Help

I had :
Core 2 Quad Q8200
Asus P5QC
2gb DDR3 1333
MSI HD4850 1GB

My Motherboard P5QC became dead and i got rs.8000 moneyback as they were not able to repair it.Now I want to Run / upgrade my PC

If I keep my processor then I cant find any LGA775 + DDR3 Mobo available in Nehru Place Market(Delhi) except Gigabyte EP45T-UD3LR (Gigabyte EP45T-UD3LR Reviews)

Or, I can sell my Quad core for rs.4500(anybody else wants for better price?)
and buy New Motherboard and Processor for following :-

i7 860 + H55 = rs.19,500
i7 930 + x58 = rs. 24,000
Phenom II X6 1055T + any AM3 = ??

What Should I opt for?
Upgrade or same processor.

Please Help Fast I need to buy in next 2 hours.

if you can go for i7 930 + MSI X58 Pro. go for it. its best. or from AMD's side get X4 955 + MSI 890GX combo. the latter one suites you better cause your graphics card isn't most powerful one. it'll be in balance.

I want to avoid spending so much money i7 930 is too expensive, does it worth it?

Moreover, I may get Crossfire as my friend has spare 4850 1gb

So, i7 860 or 930 or AMD or can anyone sell my a P45 DDR3 Gaming Motherboard(cant find anywhere)

than you got 2 good options: i5 750 + P55 (any make other than Intel as their mobos sucks) or Phenom II X4 955 (or can go with Athlon II X4 630-635) + 790GX or 890GX (if you want Xfire. also avoid Asus as they have having some issues lately.

BTW what PSU you having? and add 2Gb more ram.

I already have core 2 Quad Q8200 and i5 or 955 have only slight performance increase and I need to throw away my quad core to buy them

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

I contacted a dealer and he told me that I can get Intel Desktop Board DP45SG - Overview Should i go for it?

or upgrade to i7, does rs. 12,000 Extra worth it?

Athlon II X4 620 is same powerful as C2Q 8200, but i5 750 is lot more powerful. but in saying powerful it depends what apps you talking about. not all apps do huge performance jumps if you choose i5 750 or X4 955. if you can tell a bit about the uses of the pc i can give you a rough idea of what suites you best.

Now, ive decided to save money and go for i9, when it comes.Meanwhile, I need to buy a motherboard for LGA775 + DDR3, and only 4 are available in Market : -

1. Gigabyte GA-EP45T UD3LR Gigabyte GA-EP45T-UD3LR - motherboard - ATX - iP45 Review | ZDNet Rs.8,000

2.MSI P45T-C51 MSI Global ? Computer, Laptop, Notebook, Desktop, Mainboard, Graphics and more Rs.6500

3.Intel DP45-SG Intel Desktop Board DP45SG - Overview Rs. 6900

4.Asus P5P43TD ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Rs. 7000

ive used ASUS P5QC and it has crashed 3 Times in 1 year, so I refunded it and got rs.8,000 and lost my trust to Asus, Ive been using an Intel motherboard for last 5 years in a pc without any prob.

But Intel has Crossfire Support which I maybe(not sure) useful to me.

But the Intel and Asus one Dont have Solid Capacitors..
Are they very important, shud I go for it? or any other?

Please Help Fast

Asus have dug themselves in a pot hole. cause of their board having so rather unique problems. their distributor, Rashi peripherals bad bad bad service. and lastly, they got a whole lot of competitors in the market.

of the 4, get MSI or Gigabyte. solid caps don't matter lot but its a +ve point. nevertheless.
