A Corsiar DDR3 1333Mhz 2gb stick costs Rs.2550 X2 = 4gb for Rs.5100

AMD Phenom II X2 555BE(3.2Ghz, 2 cores, 6MB L3 Cache) Rs.4900

MSI 880GMA-E45 Rs.5700

Total = Rs.15700 -/-
 
is Corsair xms3 that cheap? :O

or is it the Value Select?

last time i checked, 4GB XMS2 (800MHz) was @ 5300, & XMS3 (1333MHz) @ Rs.6300.

btw, instead of X2 you can go for X3 440 (Rs.3.7k), even if it fails to unlock you'll still have 3cores to play with :D & according to Toms hardware, X3 440 is still the best budget gaming CPU.

After addition of 5K the only thing you need to upgrade is your processor, you should buy Phenom II Quad X4 - 965 BE for Rs.8900.

AMD Phenom II X2 555BE(3.2Ghz, 2 cores, 6MB L3 Cache) is beating Athlon II X3 440 in almost all the benchmarks.

I would suggest u a partial upgrade now and go for a full blown upgrade 1-1.5 yrs down the line when AMD comes up with a different socket for their products and when Sandy Bridge comes. As u already have 4GB of RAM and USB 3.0 drives are still costlier it is not a value upgrade for u at the moment.

For ur screen resolution and monitor size for gaming a AthlonII X3 would suffice for now.

I would suggest the following,

AthlonII X3 425 ~ 3.2k/ AthlonII X3 435~3.5k (PoBoy in TE has managed to unlock this proccy with the Giga 785G to AthlonII X4 :))

Biostar A785GE ~ 3.3k/ Gigabyte 785GM-US2H~4.1k

Total: 6.5-7.5k

This should remove bottlenecks and serve u well for ur monitor resolution for gaming for ~1.5yrs.

Save the rest and go for a full blown upgrade by Oct-Dec, 2011.
