Hey!
Back after a loooong layoff.. man things have changed here
Anyways, due to a combination of laziness, distractions, a 24x7 job and a funny thing called marriage, I'm not as much in touch with what's on in the hardware scene, as I used to be. While I'm still pretty sure of what goes where
, I need help choosing the right starting point.
I want to build a new gaming rig, and would ideally be purchasing it before / around Diwali. Please recommend what I should go for within a budget of 50k. There is stuff from my old rig which I want to continue using, and it'll be great if I can get some suggestions on that.
My current rig:-
ECS 780GM Ultra Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 920 with OCZ Vengeance Cooler
4 GB G-Skill Pi-Black DDR2 800 RAM
Sapphire Radeon HD4850 512MB
2 x 500 GB HDDs (both WD)
Corsair 450VX PSU
CoolerMaster Cabinet
Logitech G1 "gaming" keyboard / mouse combo
I shall definitely continue to use my HDDs in the new rig, and I shall use the existing cabinet for now. I definitely cant use the mobo, cpu and ram. Rest is up for debate
Primary use of the new rig : Gaming
I have a budget of 50k, which I can spend on:-

Please help!
Thanks!

- CPU
- Mobo
- RAM
- Gfx Card
- Cooling Solution (if needed)
- PSU (I'm assuming 450VX will no longer be enough?)
- A decent KB (preferably backlit) + mouse

Please help!
Thanks!
