hi,

thanks a million for your advices. however do tell me would dec 1st be a good time to buy an internal HDD?? given the volatality of the prices?
 
^^ No concrete words can be given on that, suffice to say try to get the hard drive ASAP because, due to shrinking stocks the prices of these will keep rising as well December means HOLIDAY Season in Europe and the US so demand over there will force the market to redeploy most of the fresh stocks there, so get the HDD now and rest of the PC later.

Hope this helps, and seems to be sane advice.
 
Hayabusa is right,

The Radeon HD 6950 2 GB based on non-reference design,

have a chance of 97% to be unlocked into a HD 6970 which is more powerful than a GTX 570.

It will save you upto Rs.8000.

Some cards even come with a BIOS switch {two bios, one preloaded with 6950, and other to be flashed w/6970 bios}

^especially the Sapphire Cards, however beware of the Dirt3 Edition, they never unlock.

Good Luck !!!
