P.S: dont say me to carry it in handbag or etc.., coz its an illegal trade. So wont let anyone know about it.

Any trusted shop in pune where i can get vx450 for reasonable price.
Somewhere near Deccan is more preferable.
Dude , it is, to put it mildly, bad manners to start your own thread within another thread. You do have genuine queries but why don't you start a new thread of your own. It would get you more specific replies too.

Calling Puneites : Are these brands avail. here ?

Which would be better from the above ?

my processor is AMD X4 620 and GPU is: Palit/Powercolor 4850GT 1GB DDRIII

Please advise: Asus M4A785TD-V EVO (micro atx board) OR Biostar TA790GX A3+

My basic config so far is a
AMD X4 620
Biostar TA790GX A3+
transcend 2 gb RAM ( for starters.. in a month or two will add 2GB more)
SMPS: Gigabyte Superb 460W

now for the graphics card. Some people have suggested I go with the 4850 1GB coz it gives me more VRAM and some have suggested that the 4870 512MB coz it is more powerful. I have no clue which is better. ( I am not a hardcore gamer but would play games occasionally and would like to have some new games for e.g. dragon age : origins.)
So which one should i go for. pls suggest.

And please tell me the price of both the cards too.

4850 1gb or 4870 512 mb. pls suggest

Just below 40K.

final config hopefully. Pls check..

If you think I am mentally deranged, I am not. Just that my budget has been see-saw and have a certain deadline that adds to the pressure. No point explaining nitty grittys and the peculiar circumstances here. budget finally rests at 35k. So i will be honoured if somebody actually gave me some answers about my query.

And thnks anubis. I am using ur config for pointers.
