@afnansj: Brother GTS 250 will definitely work with ur pentium D but the performance will be bottlenecked due to the processor, but not sure by how much. U can go on to purchase the GTS250, use it and if u still find some lack of performance then later on u can go on to upggrade ur processor.

@Rafay: I don't think CM690 comes with any psu, it's without any psu so u've to buy a seperate psu and on the second part it doesn't hav any fans pre installed or maybe one rear fan installed for that i'm not sure.

^Rafay:
Get a simple generic full tower case, add a decent CPU cooler to that and you are done. get some grooves made in the motherboard tray from a local metal works for cable management. If you want to mod your case, you can have them cut the side panel to desired shape. Add some eye candy to your generic case and beat the crap by cooler master.

@Kayani.
The same i've suggested to another member and here it goes:

P5QL-CM for 8200
Processor E7400 for 10100
HDD 320GB for 4300
Ram Xms2 DHX 2 x 1GB for 3100
Casing Normal for around 1500
CM 460 PSU for 3400
Graphic Card xfx 9800gt for 11000

Now if u wana go low than that then replace 9800gt with 9600gso which is for 7.8K and replace e7400 with e5200 which is for 6k so it will save u some 7K.

Assalamoalikum Fellaws!
i want to ask something off topic...... i guess only you guyz & especially our @Faraaz can tell me.
I want to buy a "Night Vision Googles"..... as my eye sight is weak & I sometimes have to drive in dark......
I daytime, i can wear glasses to keep ma eyes relaxed from the sunlight, in this way i can concentrate more on the road ahead with the relaxed eyes but at night, i think that I should buy a night vision for me.
If anyone of u have suggestions. then feel free to assist me
waiting' for reply's
well i don't know if you will be comfortable with night vision googles :s coz it totally changes the view, u know greenish type.....i think u should consult ur optician and tell about ur situation.....

@poizon n Babar, thank you guys..
HIS on this particular model has some reliability issues, read somewhere!

what do you guys say?

cheers..
well i don't think HIS 4830 has any issues, Vyrus on the same forum has HIS 4830 and i think he is pretty much satisfied....you can consult him for the performance......

4830 gpus do not get much heated, so u can even go with stock sapphire version....

@baber.....nice work bro, i am not able to visit the forum very frequently as i usually do but you are doing good work, keep it up....

yaar ma "Abu Gee" himself is a doctor~!
i dont want to go to any optician, coz he would only suggest me to make glasses (numbered lens), & that i dont want to wear.........
coz ma eye sight is not THAT weak, just a little bit you can say "+1.2" if you understand the numbering of these lenses.

why big glasses yar?? i think now a days contact lenses are more common, aren't they?? but i still think night vision googles while driving is a good idea coz it is only used for pitch black conditions normally, wearing night vision google may end up in u hitting someone :clap

btw i don't understand numbering of eyesight :s

o ali my frnd, remember me cyborg, we met on left4dead and burnout paradiese :)....ok what kind of grip u have, palm or claw based?? means do u stress ur palm more while holding the mouse or the your fingers??

Most razer mice are claw based and most logi mice are palm based except mx 518 which looks more like palm+claw design.....i think u should look at Steel Series mice on www.vmart.pk too and see if any of that fits ur budget.....
