Sidhu - appreciate your monthly PC Guide thread...though you will put prospective PC Gamers to refrain from it.

A High-end rig which can play all games at high settings on 1680 * 1050 can be made with 60K. I know there are lot more options on top of that, but they are more of a niche category with a minuscule percentage on people playing on 24"/30"screens and dual and tri SLI and CF cards.

for next 12-18 months, we can happily play all games at high settings with E8400 and 4870.

request you to make these guides from a general perspective and not from a hardware enthusiast perspective. This guide will be more useful to them.
