    I wnt to build a powerful gaming desktop, I'm only confused b/w motherboard, graphics card & processor and have 30k/600$ for it
    So tell me
    1. Motherboard for under 10k or 200$ (According to processor Intel or AMD supported, supports DDR3 RAM, SATA2, all latest processors launched till date)
    2. Best Graphics Card for under 10k/200$
    3. Processor for under 10k/200$ (I heard AMD's processor are good for gaming and they r comparitively cheaper then intel's processor of same specs and power)

    Rest you know wats best for a gaming pc

    I would say order it off of newegg as a combo deal.

    These combo deals include: Ram, Motherboard, and Processor for around $600. You can get a pretty nice Phenom II package from there.
