I live in India and want to build an AMD Gaming rig in INR 50000. That equals USD 1250. So guys can u suggest me an AMD Gaming Rig within the budget.I ask for AMD becoz it allows me to overkill.Thanks in advance!

Sometimes scientists make things alot harder than they need to. All they've gotta do is put a big spring on the ground where they think it's gonna land, or send a mission to the moon to erect a sign that says "Welcome to Earth".

ok i have a 7-8 yrs old PC (Ancient) .its a P4. all components are old. recently added a DVD-ROM and Samsung CRT Monitor(i dont intend to change.its large).
So thats where its starts. By the way, AMD or Intel? What do you u suggest??

Intel. Where will you be purchasing your items? Can you provide a link to the retailer? Knowing the website will make it easier to offer you recommendations.

Yes i would go for intel.

Intel currently has the edge over AMD in many cases. Overclocking, performance, ect.

For that price in USD, [when you get the retailer site], try:

Q6600
X38
XMS2 (Or any type of DDR2-800 2GB memory)
Antec 900
8800GTS G92
OCZ GameXStream 700W
Zalman CNPS 9700
(Any optical drive you want)
(Any HDD you want).

Well, I've had really good expriance with both, Im currently using a AMD machine right now. I have had previous P4 and P3 systems and have worked flawlessly.
Right now I would suggest if you want max performance, go with the Quad core, AMD has a cheaper Phenom X4 series, and Intel has the more powerful Core 2 Quad. Any decision is fine, you just have to do your research before buying.

I'll make you a Rig

I don't know if 2Gb of Ram is a sandbag to the system, but I thought that anyything over 4Gb is a overkill, and is too much for a gaming rig.

Aww, darn you got there first

Anyways, he got a overview.

As long as your don't intend to overclock the Phenom, you're fine, but the cost of the motherboards can be quite expensive, especially since their AM2+ (correct?). I'd also wait for the revision of the stepping.
