i think what sunny suggested is more than enough,the core 2 quads have a LGA 775,you will be investing in a dying socket,better go the amd way..
 
Thanks guys for your precious time and opinions,

I think if if buy Sunny's config then it costs me around 30k with 2GB DDR3 and no OD, so now if go for a good PSU like the Corsair VX450~4k as Kartik said i cant get OD

But if i go with Anubis's config then i n definately decrease ram to 2 GB DDR3 giving me the money to get a good PSU

Also i wanted to know if any of above mentioned Mobo had any onboard graphics or not,

Also can any on precisely tell me the difference between AMD Phenom II X2 550 and Athlon II X4 620(Means which one to go for?)

As long as mobo goes i will prefer gigabyte cos my last PC had Gigabyte mobo and it lasted almost for 9+ Years for now

And one last querry !!!!
Why any of you did not suggest Intel Proc......is intel really that bad?? (Just out of curiousity)

Click to expand...

The Phenom II X2 550 (3.1 Ghz & 7mb cache) is a dual core while the Athlon II X4 620 is a quad core (2.6 Ghz & 3 mb cache)
Why Amd suggestions? Simple! Coz with your budget, AMD configs give better bang for the buck!
 
Nope LGA-775 socket is EOL and investing money on it now doesnt make sense. If you can wait till jan3 then intel wil release i-3 processors.
 
Is PhenomII X3 720 compactible with Gigabyte 785GMT-UD2H ????

Cos i was searching online and i got to know that PhenomII X3 720 is quad core and as said by Alias That Phenom II X2 550 is a dual core while the Athlon II X4 620 is a quad core , but AthlonII X4 does not have l3 cache and PhenomII in dual core!!

And i mentioned in my first post that i want a quad core proc with l3 cache

And also can anyone tell me wat is unlocking in amd proc - - - a term that i read quit oftenly on this forum!
Thanks Guys!!
