Intel or AMD?

[dinesh]

Well now its time to declare it finally as i have decided my rig:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
GeForce 8400 GS 512 MB DDR2 PCI Express Graphics Card
Intel G33 chipset motherboard
550 W PSU
UltraSharp 2408WFP 24-inch Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor
Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1 Digital Theater Systems (DTS)
I will get it by the end of this month as i will buy parts seperately. I will post my new desktop soon. And thanks for all your help! I really appreciate all your efforts. Thanks once again...:D

Are you going to be gaming?? If so DON'T I say DON'T get the 8400GS. What a sad excuse for a graphics card.

Get an 8800GT or 9800GT, they are dirt cheap anymore.

He doesn't want to game.

Have you taken a look at the Extreme Audio instead of the Gamer model? The Optical in and out may be a useful addition if you plan on hooking the PC up to a stereo receiver home theater system. Just a thought.

I appreciate all your efforts guys.
and as suggested by calhounhusker, i will go with the 8800 instead.

yes, the 8400 is terrible.. the 8600 is terrible also. the 9600GS, or GT is better.

basically the original best, very popular card from nvidia was the 8800GT.. and the GTS was slightly better, if you can find one, get it. Otherwise the 9800GT is the same card, same card, with a different name. the GTX is slightly better, and the 9800GTX+ is just a new processor fabrication on it.

I'd get either an 8800GT, or a 9600GT(GS)

enjoy your new build.
