With 200K u can build a killer PC
I'm not in touch with the exact prices,but ditch that old E6750 :P
go for at least E8500 or a Q6600 (wat u find at unity)
BTW,Intel has cut down CPU prices (see)and u better wait a month or two(If u can wait that much)

WTF! Intel mobo? :rofl:

Since u are not into overlocking, i suggest u go with the Q6600, an nVidia 680i or 780i chipset mobo, two 9600GT's in SLI (can get Foxconn 9600GT's at ~17000 at Nunet), two Samsung HD-250HJ's in RAID-0, 22" monitor, 4GB DDR2-667 (667 is enough for Q6600 even if u try to overclock) and rest...

it'll eat up a lot of power though :P

its a must in my opinion for those going for SLI
Edit:????????
EPP just overclocks the RAM automatically when fitted on an SLI mobo. Why can't you do that manually? :/

Do i need to buy some additional RAID controller card ?(or should i go with s/w raid?(if something like that is there in the first place :P) and btw this is just a gaming machine so do i need RAID? :P

is there any point in looking at DDR3 RAM?

where is nunet? i was hoping to buy this stuff from barcklyies(wrong spelling again... can't bother)...

& you better do your home work on SLI:)
No I don't want to. Maybe you do.

What EPP does is supporting n00bs who don't know to overclock, by overclocking the RAM automatically. When the mobo detects EPP on a RAM, it just sets that EPP clock speed because it is certified to run at that clock speed. This is pure marketing.

Instead you can get DDR2-1200 anyway, and do your thing the good old way; manually from BIOS. What's the big deal?
