now, my friend was willing to get the i7 processor, but i'm not sure if that's a gud option, i thot maybe it'd be better for him to get a high end core 2 quad processor... ? i don't know really so please recommend something along those lines. and even the list above seems to be slightly outdated cause i think newer GPUs and stuff are available now.

so please.... help me out here.

[GalibZ]

as he has unlimited budget .. he should go for i7 ...

[tofu]

the price list is old,,,some price has fallen and LCD's price is up.ATI HD 4890 GPU is available.1 TB hard disk is also available.
go for samsung T240HD .procesor Q9650 quad core 3.0 Ghz.mobo is Gigabyte EP45-UD3R.TT 700w psu.DELUX casing or
space casing with a fan both in front+sideways.

he has already chosen a monitor something 24"

as he has unlimited budget .. he should go for i7 ...

technically it's not unlimited... but it's a decent amount... and yeah... he was going for the i7

[Mazhar]

First of all, tell your friend that he would be much better off buying it from abroad

Ive modified Coldfire's component list slightly, here it is

Processor:: Intel Core i7 920
Motherboard:: ASUS P6T--- (MBO+Processor combo) 42,000/-
Graphic:: 2x/3x XFX Radeon HD4890 [Preferably OC version] in two/three way crossfire
RAM:: Transcend DDR-1600/1333MHz Tri-Channel (3x2GB) 6GB --- 3800x3=11,400/-
SoundCard:: ASUS Xonar D2X --- 10,000/-
Storage(Primary):: Bring a Intel X25-M 80GB from abroad - $325
Storage(Secondary):: Samsung F1 1TB --- 8,500/-
ODD:: ASUS DVD-RW (SATA) --- 2100/-
Case:: Thermaltake Spedo Advanced Edition --- 15000/-
PSU:: Thermaltake Thoughpower 750W (Cable Management) --- 15,000/-
Cooler:: Get a decent Thermaltake cooler from here, but bringing it from abroad would be best
Display: Try getting a Dell LCD, i cant give model numbers since i dont know of availability in BD. If u cant get that, get the Samsung T260 26" LCD - 30,000
Mouse/Keyboard/MousePad:: Try getting a Razer Mamba from abroad for the mouse. As for the keyboard, choose any. Also get a good mouse pad (razer makes good ones, check them out)

_________________________________________________________

the total will be roughly around 113k - 116k but i think he adjust a bit

ok... so... there's sorta these two options... like either getting the quad or the i7... getting the quad will save bout 8k

i was also wondering if getting the 650w psu will be enough for the whole thing.[COLOR="Silver"]

[coldfire7]

buy the ASUS P6T instead of Intel DX58SO...

[Mazhar]

Get the i7, for sure. 650W will be enough btw

Also, i second getting the P6T over the intel counterpart, the ASUS is much better

[Albert SX65]

Phenom II is best for gaming .but in Bangladesh AMD CPU price too high and not seen everywhere the Motherboard & CPU.

so kom price jodi Phenom II pan thahole it's best choice.

[tofu]

they didnt have the asus p6t... but i'll look at some other places for it then before he gets it.

okay... i talked to them again today... and they'll be able to give the asus p6t... but... i think they're over chaging a lil.... they're taking 45000/- for it... whereas global asked for 44500/- .

one thing i'm really confused about is getting an HD monitor... the people there say they have hd monitors, so just to be sure, i took down the model numbers to check if they reely are hd ones... when googled them online... i cudn't find out if they were really hd or not.

the models they did mention are hd ones are:
- Dell S240W
- Dell E248WFP
- Dell E228WFP

can someone please tell me how i can confirm this?
