Which of these 2 AMD config is best ?
can i make a couple of last min corrections
I would still be comfortable with the Asus M4A87TD/usb3 (i dont think i would go for the BD n need a AM3+ board)
Also, can I opt the corsair cx430v2 PSU instead.. guess that offers more quality power ?
Finally, how would this 955be+M4A87TD/usb3+6850 rig compare with an i52400+Intel DH67CL+6770
Will the Intel setup give me more FPS ?
^^Ya I understand your problem. But for first few posts I'd request you co-operate with us. As this helps us filter spammers.
No, 955BE + HD 6850 will give you more FPS.
But I'll say get i5-2400 along with HD 6850.

Get these:
AMD PhenomII X4 955BE - 5.8k
Gigabyte 880GM-USB3L - 4.2k
MSI 6850 Cyclone - 9.5k or Sapphire 6850 9k
Total 19.5k or 19k depending on the graphics card. RAM you decide.
Else a X4 840 would save 1k and adding another 1k would get you a FSP SagaII 500W.

Get Phenom II X4 BE as it is the best choice and future proof as it is a black edition CPU....Go For SKUD choice

+1 for skud suggestion.
Objective :AMD decent gaming rig
Components: cpu, mainboard, ram, power supply, pcie graphic card
Additional components (not included in budget) - 1tb seagate HDD + monitor (have added this now cuz i feel the CRT is failing me? )
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/tvs-monitors/145162-my-crt-failing-me.html
CPU: Quad core only. (confused bt. x4 840 & 955be)
Mainboard: Asus preferably.2nd option - gigabyte
Note - Need support for 6gb sata & usb 3.0 & min. 2-3 PCI slots, am3+ support not mandatory
RAM: Decided on 2 GB corsair xms3
PSU: Decided on Corsair cx430v2(for 840) & cx500v2(for 955be) - will change if anybody vehemently says they are not for gaming pc's.
pcie card: 6850 - if i get it for 9.5 max in chennai or its 6770
So, the major confusion is with the cpu & mainboard.
Budget: Around 23k

Thank you very much for assisting, skud.
This is the mainboard that you referred to , right ?
GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3+ - GA-880GM-USB3L (rev. 3.1)
I dont see that it supports sata 3.
After much comparison, I guess the GA-880GA-UD3H might be able to satisfy my needs.. Is it a good one ?
GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3 - GA-880GA-UD3H (rev. 3.0)
How much can I get it for ?
& its an atx form factor mainboard. Can I fit it into my present micro atx cabinet ? (along with the 6850)
