I am off to review the Motherboard now!
Update on the situation:
The OCZ ddr3 1600Mhz ram was faulty and has been replaced with the G-skill Rip jaws 1600Mhz ram(5500rs shipped from Prime Abgb)
I bought a Belkin Router N 150 from Ebay to replace my dead D-link 3 year old router. It cost me 1450rs.
The Artic Cooling MX-2 to cool my pc cost me 345rs.
The PC case to house my new system--Gigabyte Luxo X142. It cost me 2100rs(1550+550-shipping) from Lynx-India. Total VFM case,well built without stupid LEDs and transparent side panels. Minus the lousy mesh design! Understated and elegant-that's how I like cabinets! It has tonnes of space to swallow a ATI HD 5870 crossfire setup.
The Ati HD 4870 was DOA as well - so I replaced it temporarily with my 8800GT. The 8800GT will soon be replaced by a real stunner of a gpu that will truly make this system kickass! Keep watching this space!
ITS HERE!!!!!!!!!!! DRUM ROLL!!!!!!!
THE FINAL PIECE OF THE JIGSAW PUZZLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOME MORE DRUM ROLL!!!!!!
Ladies(If there are any here and for those who care to view this thread) and gents--- EVEN MORE DRUM ROLL!!! ---I GIVE YOU ---- MSI TWIN FROZR 5850 1GB!!!!
TA=DA!!!!!
Gigabyte made a real mess with the SATA port placement in this board. I used it for less than 48 hours and its given me 48000 headaches! I shall upgrade to a better board with a better sata port placement soon!!!
