@Kayani:
Ur current rig is very gud except the processor if u r using it on stock but if u r overclocked then it's very gud. I've suggested u P5QL-CM coz it's the only mobo available that supports overclocking in this price range.
As upper limit of ur budget is 40K so i don't think that u'll be able to go for higher processor than E7400. 2GB Ram is more than enough so don't worry about that.
Here's what u can change

P5KPL-VM Rs.4100
Processor Q8200 For Rs. 14500
Ram Kingston Hyperex (2 x 1gb ) for Rs.3500
The rest of the system is fine but if u wanna go ati then go for HIS 4830 that's gonna cost u 1.5K more.

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.....

yea i remember you very well :)

i have claw based grip, the steel series mice you have suggested are way out of my budget. i read some reviews for both the diamondback 3g and mx518. and i read that the rubber on the mx518 starts peeling off, but they also stated that the mouse was amazing in performance. and like you said razer mice are claw based so should i go for the diamondback 3g?
i also heard from a few people that the quality of the razer mice are not good but it wasn't really mentioned in the reviews

Hey I was just wondering that I'm going to buy a T220 monitor with the DANY HD-333L TV device purely for gaming(XBOX 360 via vga cable), watching movies and TV. So, are these good? If you have other recommendations please tell me. My budget is Rs: 30000
Click to expand...
T220 is very good. But it has hardly any benefit over 2233BW.
For TV device you should look for Pixelview Play TV Box 6. It has 1680 x 1050 resolution and is perfect for 22" LCDs (like T220).

E5200 with a good GPU will perform better in games.

hmm razer mice are not bad, they are as good as logis.....i haven't seen anybody using diamondback, so don't know if you should go for it or not.....however, have seen people using copperhead and deathadder, if you can just raise ur budget and get one of these....

however, if you want, you can also go for A4tech oscar series xl-740k mouse, it is cheap around 1600 rs but is an excellent mice, i m using it and pretty much satisfied....it has weight adjustment option too....

933bw is an excellent lcd....however, viewsonic one is better and bigger then it and worth spending money on....you should decide first if you want 19 or 22".....

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
