Wrong place. Ask mods to move your thread to Help Desk. About your pc. Forget the quadcore. Get a 2nd gen i3 as a bare minimum. GPU depends on your budget. Mention your budget and what Items do you have right now if any, so you can get further help.

Please mention your EXACT budget so I can suggest you some good components. If you are low on funds then you can buy used items from trusted sources.

Bro there are alot of options....2nd gen i5 paired up with a 660gtx or 270x will be the best PC u can make in a budget for 1080p gaming

Okay, so im also upgrading like him, my budget for the system excluding GPU is 15k...
What would you prefer me to go for if I play at 720p .. C2Q Q9650 ... enough of power, or I need core i3 or similiar 2nd gen stuff? As in future I might move on to 1080p with a nice gaming panel..
The card I have my eyes on is a HD 6950 by powercolor.. its a true beast but Its like 10.3" long, I also doubt if it'll fit a dell branded chasis like dell precision T3400 full tower... do you think this chasis will hold that specific card?

do not get a 6950, you could get a hd 7870 or a gtx 660. If you can't find either of those then just go with the hd 7850. Do not go with hd 6950, it sucks in comparison to the cards mentioned above. Also it is rumored that the "HD 6900 series" will not support directx 12.

And I just want to clear something up,do you have total 15k to spend on your entire system or just the processor and mobo? You can't just make a custom rig in 15k thats capable of 60 FPS 720p gaming. The only systems that are available in 15k will be used branded systems and i highly urge you not to buy them. Even a q9650 + decent mobo cost around 10-12k.

Is it just a rumour or something people sure about... I found that card (HD 6950) actually better than GTX 460 in comparison which is almost of the same price...that's why i'm looking forward to go for it...but if thats true then gtx 460 might be a choice for as its cheap.

YupP, 15k for total system that's why i prefer branded systems.. can you suggest me some?
Moreover.. the ultimate question.. should i go for C2Q series or CORE i Series for best performance-value ratio...?

DO NOT buy a 6950. That card is ancient. It was unstable even when it was new in market and right now they are like ticking time bombs. They have a maximum of 200 watts TDP and generate a lot of heat. So unless you have a good case with adequate cooling and a strong powersupply and you dont mind loosing your gpu in a couple of months then go for it. I would instead suggest you to look for a used 750 ti. It might b a bit more than your budget but it would run on a stock PSU and has good temps. you won't need a lot of cooling for it. Also it is possible to get a 2nd gen i3 in 15k with most basic of components. board processor for 10k max 9k with a bit of bargaining. 500 for a cheap case. and 800 for a normal PSU. get 2 gb ram for now with a small HD and at least you have something to start with.

Okay, thanks for your suggestions mate.. Im changing my mind from 6950 GPU.. Then, what about MSI GTX 460 HAWK TALON ATTACK Edition? Im getting that GPU for around 10k...Should i go for it for 720p? and 1080p on moderate settings of most games... 750 Ti is actually new and thus a bit expensive around ~15k used.. Regarding the length of this GPU.. its 9.4" long..do you think it can fit in a case.. like DELL Precision T3400?

Regarding the system...Can i get a branded system locally in Islamabad/Rawalpindi in 15k meeting these specs.. If Are you aware of some good places to checkout here in Islamabad/Rawalpindi, then let me know.. I just hope they offer me the system at a reasonable value....I seriously wanna go for i3 2nd gen systems but shopkeepers here have still have old-gen damn c2q/c2d stuff.. its hard to find... atleast in my area...

460 is still an old gpu with a 160 watt max tdp. Performance difference between 460 and 750ti justifies the price also prices for 750ti would drop as soon as 950 would hit the market. About the case. It would fit in dell precision case but those cases are like coffins. I would suggest you to buy a cheap case with at least a few fan options. You can't get a branded i3 2nd gen in 15k and buying branded is just a waste of money. better make it yourself by buying parts from PG marketplace.

Well.. a bit about the temps... MSI GTX 460 HAWK Edition is a dual slot card and has efficient cooling mechanism..will i need some external cooling fans or a different chasis for it or its own cooling fans will be enough?

dont tell me you gonna put that 800 wali psu in a pc that with discrete gpu?
In 800 he can get a PSU pulled from a branded system which might have 20 to 25 amps on 12v. Those things don't have big brand names but they are built to last. With a 750ti paired with it, he won't have any issues.

and who know this not so big name PSU is real punch or a crap. voltage fluctuation at lower or higher draw. ripple voltage. capacitors life. efficiency. time being used. there are too many parameters
and what end of the its just a 150w psu labeled as 400w
If you are buying such high end stuff. spending a bit extra on PSU wont do any harm.
when I read your suggestion, i thought this guy has knowledge but "800 wali baat"

I would not risk a simple dual core PC on that PSU
