@chicane,
Sorry for such delay mate!
Well, Corsair VX 550W is ~5.5K in Delhi and Corsair XMS2 2x2GB for 5500/- .
CM Silent Power M600 Pro PSU is ~ 6K and has < 82% continuous efficiency.

Thanks!!

Any Idea about the motherboards which i have mentioned!!

[chicane1879]

Finally i have zeroed in the following items:

Motherboard: MSI P45 C51 8GB DDR3
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 4850 XXX 512MB DDR3

Can anybody tell me if this two are compatible with each other. I will be using Quad Core Processor.And which PSU will be more suited to the above two.

Yes the two are compatible. In fact almost all modern motherboards are compatible with modern graphics cards.

Use a VX450 or maybe a CM Real Power series of ~400-500W, should be sufficient.


And, just for kicks, what CPU have you zeroed in? Not considering the AMD option?

[chicane1879]

I have decided on 2.66Ghz Q8400 Quad Core.I am out of touch of recent AMD Developments.Also a rough comparison between the prices of Intel and AMD is not much and the Intel has slight edge in terms of performance as far as performance as concerned in some reviews which i have gone through.

Will a 450W-500W be sufficient? I was thinking of a 600W.I will also be using a 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM.

Oh, yes, I vividly remember you mentioning this somewhere else in this thread too. But, if you do get an opportunity to try it out on some other laptop/ PC, do try it once. The level of detail and the controls/ physics is just plain amazing.

What other games have you been playing off-late? Do you like third person action/ adventure titles too? If you do, then I am sure you must have heard or even played "Batman: Arkham Asylum".

I bought a PS3 around a month ago. I am playing DIRT2. I have always been a fan of rally games and this is one of the best. The graphics are amazing and the car physics is also very good.

Anybody here played Uncharted2 or GT5 Prologue?

[Aryan]

@Rachit: You bought a PS-3 and you have kept it a secret up until now!? BRILLIANT! If possible, I would personally just LOVE to try it out once. Time and place: you decide!

Congrats, my man!

[rachitkdogra]

Thank you Sir!!

Anytime Sir!! We will fix up some weekend.
It would be fun!!

I guess you are quite a lot into gaming. I have seen you regularly in this thread.
I myself love gaming sir!! You play Counter-Strike?

[Aryan]

@Rachit: Yes, I am totally into video games, apart from photography and traveling! And I am slowly but surely making sure that my girl-friend also gets hooked into gaming; the other two, she already has enough experience in!

P.S: I used to play Quake-III over LAN back during my college days, and boy was it fun!

[rachitkdogra]

Same here Sir. I am also trying that my wife also gets hooked to gaming, Till now I have failed.

I used to play CS during my MBA days.
You are right sir!! There is nothing like it, playing with human competition on LAN.

I will surely find a free weekend and then will invite you over for a PS3 session sir.
