Which processor and graphics card will be the best for a gaming pc?

that kind of computer spec is more than enough to play all games in the market. A PC with such spec will be able to play any game in a long time! ;-)

If you get the EVGA version, make sure you buy the "vanilla" version - the one that isn't overclocked by the factory. You can save $20 or more by buying the stock version and use EVGA's software to quickly and safely overclock the card yourself! In fact, the software that comes with the card (or DL from the web) tunes the card on its on, so all you have to do is turn it on. A GTX 460 and AMD x4 is a great combination. In fact, you can drop down a rung or two in processing power and pay less money. As long as you have at least a triple-core processor, you'll be future proof. (At least I and every other AMD owner hopes so lol) The average price (USD) for Black is around $140-150. The processor I'm running only cost $100 and you can OC the processor safely and actually get the same performance as Black while saving a lot of money! http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Athlon-Propus-Quad-Core-Processor/dp/B003PJ6PVQ Mine also uses less power and stays cooler. The cheapest GTX 460 you'll find will probably cost around $140, plus shipping. I'm not sure how the prices are different over there than in the US, but I'm guessing they're not too different. So for $250 ($300 if you go with Black) you can have some serious gaming power. Make sure you have: at least 4GB of RAM, Corsair, Crucial and Kingston make the best (at least that I know of); at least a 500w PSU, but 600w would be a safer bet; and try to keep your HDD relatively small. I made the mistake of thinking bigger was faster, and I'm seriously considering trading my 1TB in for a 500 or 250. For an Alienware PC with a quad-core processor, a GTX 460 and 4GB RAM, you'll probably pay around $1600. With the way you're going, you can probably build the entire PC for $600.

@matersfish: Nice setup there. Well, I am also going for the NVIDIA since it has a good graphics quality. Maybe I will go for the EVGA GTX 460 coupled with AMD Phenom X4 Black Edition 955. Is this setup ok? Alienware costs a lot just for a gaming PC. Well, thanks for the advice man. Really appreciate it. @Artiey: Yeah it's a good setup already to bang any games in the market. It can run along some years (maybe 4-5 years). Thanks for the comment!

Well in my case I am willing to shell out about $500 to $800, depends on the custom i wanted. My custom PC will range to budget to mid range gaming PC. Thanks for the help man! Hoping for your suggestion!
