Will this Config work ?

[zodiac_511]

I'm purchasing a new system 8)
CPU =AMD Athlon64 (939 pin) 3800+
MOBO =MSI K89 Diamond
RAM =512 MB (DDR 400 Mhz)
HDD =80 GB SATA (Seagate 7200 rpm)
Monitor =Philips 109 P4 (19in)
Graphics Card=PowerColor Radeon X800XL / Ati Radeon X850

1. Is the CPU available in Chennai and is the 4000+ available in Chennai now?
2. Which GFX Card shud i choose (Main Use :Gaming) ?
3. Are both the GFXs cards PCI-e based ?

your config is mindblowing dude.

1. Availability cant be guaranteed by i doubt its available in india. maybe u ll have to get it ordered or something.

2. U are buying a SLI mobo and you are going for ATI cards ? that will not work. go for 2*Gainward 6800 Ultra 256 mb golden samples pci-e ... and u will have a monster of a system.

Also i suggest go for a 160 gb sata n.c.q hdd (seagate) or even better go for 2*80 gb seagate sata n.cq's in raid 0. Also go for a Samsung 19" Magic bright monitor. its good.

dude mine one suggestion is to get more hard disk space..80 gb is not enogh.....at least 120 gb..

for cards read the January 2005 digit magazine

Ati cards wont work in SLI mode with this board. Also for your info , AMD processors do not suuport DDDR-II.
