The basic games i play dont work all that well with my current setup. I play Hidden and Dangerous 2 Siber Squardon, but it hangs after some time of play and shows multicolours.
SO basically the parts i need to get are the following.
Intel Pentium E2140 Rs 2800 - Is there something in AMD, like Turion, and is the E2140 dual core, i might spend a little more and get a better processor. My computer is on almost 24 hours a day, so i dont want overheating.

This is a Core 2 Duo with 1MB cache instead of 2MB. Doesn't matter much otherwise. The performance difference is insignificant between 2MB and 1MB of cache. As I said... its the coolest running CPU in the Core 2 Duo range.

Biostar TP35D2-A7 motherboard Rs 4500 - How many slots for ram does it have, like right now if i go for 2GB Ram and later want to upgrade further to another 2GB, will it support? |
It has 4 RAM slots. You'd be using only 2 of them as of now. You can add 2GB more later on. As I said its a fully featured board. Does not skimp on any features.

Transcend 2GB DDR2-800 Rs 3000
NVIDIA 8600GT 256MB Rs 6000
Gigabyte Superb 460W Rs 2400 - What exactly is this?
Total - 18700/-

A good Power supply. Your existing PSU won't work with a higher end video card that requires a separate PCI Express power connector.

How much does the 512MB cost?
|
The 8600GT 512MB is best avoided as there would be no performance gain. Infact performance might drop as typically board makers use cheaper and slower video ram in the midrange large memory cards.
The 8800GT 512MB will cost you around 14 grand.
