A:Gaming mostly apart from usual surfing. Will also be used by my bro for his CSE course which i have no idea of
2. Are you open to alternate ideas/products giving similar better performance but offering more VFM/ sellers? If not- why?
A:Yes but would like to stick to i5 intel proc and nvidia
3. What is your MAX budget?

7. What resolution will the screen run at & whats the size of the screen you want? If you already want have one and want to use it, mention its resolution and size.
A: Full HD 1080p screen size 20" to 23" (low response time)
8. How would you rate your hardware knowledge from the count of 1-10? (1 being the lowest, 5 being you are somewhat in sync with the current performers and 10 being the highest)
A: 4
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
A: Assembler
10. When are you planning to buy the system?
A: May 2nd or 3rd week
11. Are you one of the types looking out for "future proof" configurations?
A: Yes (2 years)
12. Are there going to be any components that you don't want to include in this new rig? If yes, do mention.
A: Speakers and UPS
13. Which city do you live in and are you open to buying from shops from other city/states?
A: Bangalore; i prefer buying locally but will get anything thats unavailable, online (any suggestions on places to find hardware here is welcome) (=please tell me the places)
14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary
A: After going through the PC buying guide i have mixed some of the components i would like in my pc but mobo and SMPS is an area i have no idea which ones to take
Here's what i cooked up: (mostly copy pasted) (need help in areas not underlined)
*Processor: Intel Core i5 2500 (fine? just changed from 2400 to 2500 due to Rs.500-800 price diff)
*Motherboard: (no idea about motherboards) Intel DH67CL?
*RAM: wanted 8GB but if an overkill then 4GB Cosair or some other
*Graphic Card: MSI GTX560 Twin Frozr II OC/Asus GTX 560 Ti Direct Cu II OR ASUS GTX570 Direct Cu II if worth extra 5k
*HDD: Seagate ITB 7200.12
*DVD Writer: LG 22X SATA DVD
*PSU: Corsair VX450W (sufficient???)
*Case: CM Elite 430
*Monitor: Not decided (suggestion required for low 2-5ms screens preferably above 20")
*Mouse: Not decided
*Keyboard: Razer Arctosa
*UPS: APC 1KVA (not to be inc in budget)
*Speakers: Not needed
Few important points:
#The budget mentioned is highly flexible but 75k is the ultimate ceiling when including everything
#If i get ASUS GTX570 Direct Cu II instead of Asus GTX 560 Ti Direct Cu II will i need better mobo and SMPS (than the one recommended by the members below not me)
#To put it simply i want to get the proc-mobo-ram-graphic-SMPS right the rest is secondary right now (esp monitor; im still confused about the right screen size)
#Most importantly thanks for your patience and time
