My first PC was in the year 2000, since then i've been using nothing but AMD, so my knowledge of Intel side of things is a bit sketchy at best.
My budget is 32000Rs and thats for CPU, MOBO, RAM and GFX, this is what I have come up with.

PSU + CABINET: CM Elite 330 + CM Extreme Plus 460W (Combo) 3700/-
CPU: Phenom X4 9550 8650/-
MOTHERBOARD: BIOSTAR TA780G M2+ 4000/-
RAM: 2 x 2GB 3600/-
GFX: ATI 4850 512MB GDDR3 11500/-

TOTAL: 31450/-

I dont know if the PSU will be able to hande the QUAD and GFX, I could go for a TRI Core but I wont spend anymore on the PSU+CABINET.

If someone could suggest me a Intel rig it would be very much appreciated, but, the 4GB Ram and the ATI Gfx is fixed.
 
Motherboard: Asus P5Q 7.5k

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 7.5k

RAM: Transcend 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800MHz 1.8k

GPU: Palit HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 10.45k

Cabinet: Cooler Master Elite 330 1.7k

SMPS: Corsair VX 450W 3.2k

Total - 32.15k

You can't get anything better than that.;)

Good luck with your purchase.:D
 
Can I go with CM Extreme Plus 460W as the SMPS for the Intel Setup ?.

Also does P5Q have onboard graphics as I was considering buying the GFX a month after the cpu, psu, mobo and ram.
 
Na, its not enough.

Rs. 1200 more investment will give stability, more overclocking headroom. U can get 2GB more RAM anytime later, and install in empty slots. 4GB RAM is still waste for gaming PC. But upgrading SMPS is hard. Why U wanna take big risk, can damage PC parts.

No onboard video, it belongs to Intel P45 family, all P,X series r targetted @ ethusiasts. G series have onboard video. Get temporary 7100GS etc @ 1k.

I called Prime, they quoted 8100 for P5Q, 7900 for the E8400 and 2000 for the CM330, but one things for sure, i'm going to get the setup posted by SidhuPunjab .Will goto Lamington on the first week of next month to get the stuff.
