i'm into gaming and right now i have Rs. 20000. the problem is how to spend these money on my desktop so that it be upgraded as a gaming pc. and well, i want to play games in ultra settings smoothly...no matter whether it's an old game or new game. i already have a desktop. the specs are listed below-

Processor:Intel E5800
RAM: 3GB (ddr2)
Motherboard: G41-M7
Present Graphics card: GT 520 (nvidia)
PSU: 300W

should i need to increase my budget??? should i wait for something new to come? or should i buy a playstation 3 instead of upgrading my desktop. thanks in advance. please suggest me.

Comes to around 21,000. Get a new mobo, CPU, and RAM when you have some more money; maybe wait for Haswell. Your current CPU will be bottlenecking you in some games with the 7850, but getting a new CPU and not GPU would mean virtually no improvement.

good then. it's actualy pci 3.0. and my mobo is 1.0a compatible but the card m using is 2.0 compatible...that means i couldn't buy it from flipkart. because it would be riskier if it fails...but surely i give it a try from outside :..thnx again
