and the mobo is gx 128m

unfortunately the 0922apmw batch isnt available..im nt sure if unlocking is possible in the other batches.

Good config bro.. but i would say kidnly add 2 gb of more ram.. and now days we need 4 gb any how ...One thing i didnt like it was spending 8200 for 4850. u could have opt for any 512 mb card which many people selling on TE around 5 -6 k.. and with diff money u could have boought better power supply like VX450 OR VX 550. and could have got Elite 335 for 1900 .. that would have been a good deal . And also for better discount u could have contacted ITWAREES where he would have listed it on Ebay and u could have easily saved around like 2 -3 k .. which u could have used for 1 TB

.. but still the system looks good.. nice config..
