i am looking to build a new machine

main use is gaming , then normal stuff like programming , watching movies , internet surfing etc

i live in mumbai , will buy everything from Lamington Rd ,

no possible upgrades for atleast next 3 years (exception of RAM and SSD if prices fall down)

Graphic Card - GTX 560 Ti ,either Asus (14K) or MSI (13K) ,

tell me abt this , MSI service is good in india or not , Asus's service is great ,

also i have Asus 5750 HD , so wat do u think of crossfiring 2 5750's vs buying new GTX 560 Ti

now for processor and motherboard , following seems to be my options

i5 2500K + Asus P8P67 @ 21000 Rs

Phenom X4 955 BE + Asus/Gigabyte Mobo @ 13000 Rs

problem is if i go for i5 setup , i will have to go for some local cabinet and stock cooler due to budget , and so overclocking won't be possible for atleast next 3 years, bcz i won't be able to buy good cabinet and cooler before that

so is it worth investing in i5 setup over Phenom when gaming is only concerned ?

will Phenom setup able to play all types of games i mentioned below atleast for next 3 years ,

i play FPS , TPS , Racing games , no (RTS) Strategic games at all , and neither FSX

my rest of d specs r not dat good

P4 @ 3.06 GHz

15" HP LCD

but i will be upgrading it in a year or so , that is more than 4 years old

and i will this graphic card able to play games for atleast next 3 years (dat much warranty i got) ?
