CarbonCore Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Quad cores are not good for gaming, atleast right now. Most games don't make proper use of additional 2 cores. E6850 is the ultimate for games, unless you want to do video decoding, Photoshop etc more than gaming. Also, 8800GTS is good card but I would say go for GTX, its more expensive but much ahead of GTS in performance. Btw both cards cost 25/30k+ in India. Why don't you tell your uncle to send it from US. E6850/8800GTX is the killer combo for games and should get you through safely for another couple of years, atleast until 45nm becomes mainstream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjun Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 ^^ i was planning on saving on the gfx card .... and the above config i was getting in bout 60-70k ....and if i add a 25k card its off-limits for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Karnage Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 E6850 is the best bet for now rather than the quad core. Get a 8800GTS minimum for any serious gaming. Make sure the 19 inch LCD is wide screen and leave the HD-DVD/Blu Ray drive for now. You can always add it later if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 ^^ Told ya. If you are limited on budget, then 8600GTS is your best bet, costs about 12/13k, 8800GTS is about 22k I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastAvenger Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Go for a 22" Screen rather than 19" . LG has these sweet new panels which have 5000:1 contrast ratio and 4ms response time i think. They look pretty sexy. If you are still planning to go with a 19" screen, then get a Samsung. I am currently using a 19" Samsung monitor which is amazing. Performance is brilliant, response time is pretty fast too. Its HDCP Compliant and has DVI too.

(was gonna go for a 17" lcd but the diff in price between 17 and 19 is like 1-1.5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I'll tell you what I've done on the graphics card front. In May this year, I assembled a Core2Duo based PC with a SLi capable motherboard (Asus) and bought a 8600GTS for approx 9K from Malaysia. (This was the top of the line MSI 8600GTS Overclock edition that came with Company of Heroes free :jumpy: ). I am now planning to buy another MSi 8600 GTS in December and SLi my rig. The performance would be quite staggering without the blow to my bank balance that the 8800 series would have been, plus I get to stagger the expenditure thanks to SLi. Oh and if you want to connect the sound output to a HT receiver, then you should use the optical out port on the sound card. Most new MoBos have high quality onboard sound processors so they should have an optical out somewhere below the PS/2 ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
