Which Config Is Better????

[ambandla]

In processors, Conroe (core2duo) is best
In graphics cards,
ATI Crossfire setup is the king.
My solution:

Get Intel Pentium D 805(this is not conroe but is budget dual core CPU), priced at Rs. 4950/-
Get a Core2duo ready ATI crossfire enabled mobo with 975X chipset.
Get a ATI crossfire SLI cards.

If you do not like the performance, you can upgrade to Core2duo when the prices come down.
FYI, D 805 is the best overclocker. It can reach 4GHz speed.

Check out P5W DH Deluxe motherboard.

typo mistake. Crossfire is ATi's answer to nvidia's SLI and is far better than nvidia SLI. Get crossfire cards and have Xtreme gaming.

Will x2 3800+
A8NE
7900GT
2GB RAM
last me for 4 years?

NOTHING you could buy right now will last for 4 years.
The rig you want will last till DirectX 10 games come out. After that the only upgrade you need is a high-end DX10 card which will give you another 2 years of high performance gaming.

C2D will last 2-3yrs after overclocking for non gaming purposes and 1-2yrs for gaming purposes.

Whatever card you buy now in 20k is to play the current games and just about able to survive another yr. After that even if there is directx 9 support left, your card won't do that well, and probably many games after 1.5yrs+ will be sole directx 10 or start that phrase.

get c2d, get 7900GT, sell it for a dx10 card later. most probably no direct 10 card will give you high performance for 2yrs, but the 30k+ cards will last a good one yr if you are lucky and will surely be able to manage(not exactly high performance) maybe 1.5yrs.
