@ankitmane
hmmmm...sry bro...m nt intrstd in buying used ones....
neways...thnx for the reply...
AMD Phenom II X4 940 B.E. @ 10.8k
Biostar TA790GXB A3+ Mobo @ 5.8k
Kingston/Transcend 2*2=4GB DDR2 800MHz @ 2.4k
Corsair VX450W @ 3.9k
Palit GTX260 SONIC @ 11k
STRONGLY suggest this. AND WTH is wrong with you guys, INTEL INTEL what intel pays you for this?
lolzzz....if i ws paid....i wud hav bought CORE i7
hyeah:
amd II X4 940 = 10,150
Biostar TA790gxb 128m =5,200
best mobo ever for a less price coz u can do massive oc with this combo of mobo and processor.
& for gfx card you can go in for palit gts250 = 7-7.5 k from pheonix here in TE
definitely fits your budget...look i understand you like intel a lot, but intel is over priced tbh you can get the same performance, in fact a bit better performance with a little less money spent on amd...i'm sure telling you, whoever bought amd x3/4 II with biostar 790gxb is having a run of his life oc'in the system to the core. You can check on TE forums anywhere about this..
but at the end of the day its your money, your choice, your computer
you asked for some help/ suggestion thats why people gave you their views, take them or not is totally upto you

They show that Amd Phenom X4 940 leads Intel's Q8400 by 6-7% roughly. Though Intel consumes more power in under load condition...bt less power in Load condition.
Huhh...after going through all this stuff....i think that for mee....6-7% doesn't matters....as wht m using presently is nthing in comparison 2 it(Don't ask:ashamed
...budget is tight...and seeing my utility......Intel Q8400 seems my choice...though i don't say..phenom's bad...it's gud, esp in high-end games and graphic applications....
I'll nt OC it nww...may b after an yr or soo....whn i'll feel the need for it.....
ABOUT upgradation path.....hopefully...i'll not be using Desktop's in cuming yrs....will buy a lappy soon in cuming 2yrs....so may b...thn it's AMD Lappy
....
n if this seemd prob, n i req. more, i'll upgrade my GPU denn...
Biostar TP45D2-A7(5.6k) seems cool...as it's cheapest P45 mobo...n offer's gud OC...
