2.4ghz q6600 is still outperform most of the quads if it used on BSEL mode or Tape mode and it will shoot at 3.0ghz if you have oem motherboard non OC or do the same with OCable Board

e8400 or q6600 will perform almost same as games are now more gpu dependent so invest in gpu and the processor which is cheap . Ram should be atleast 4gb

For this setup 20K is expensive.. 9500gt or gt 420 wont do anything they would just suck your money with no performance...it would be better to use Motherboard VGA for the time period..(until you have budget to get used something like 4850/4870/9600gt/9800/gts 250)

No don't go for it.

1. Its outdated, to some extent
2. System is not worth 20k

If you have 20k, then get this

i3-3220 = 13000
Intel H61 motherboard = 5000
4 GB RAM = 3000

I think the latest games are better with quad-core. 3 years ago, E8400 would have been the better choice but I dont think it is the situation now.

[MENTION=90616]Muhammad Waleed[/MENTION]! 20k for that PC is a terrible TERRIBLE waste of your precious money.

You are better off going to the market and get a used AMD Athlon X2 6000+ (Branded) System w/ 4GB RAM (will have atleast 160GB HDD) for less than 10k. Put a GPU worth of 1500 Rupees in it (8600GT) and you'll have a better gaming system at your disposal.

------

On the contrary, i think you should opt for newer generation, for which you'll have to stretch your budget a little more. Post #9 in this thread is a very good example of it.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
