He doesn't need cabby.
He can save 2k there and instead get 5770.
Then the total will be 30.5k but more chance lasting gaming-wise.

Gaurav is right.go for the better GPU

Total=30k.

Any other options...?

Since the OP's requirements are gaming and photoshop, theres no need for 1055t.

I'd suggest-

AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE@6.6k
Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H@4.5k
Corsair 2GB DDR3@1.1k (more can be added later)
Seagate 1TB 7200.12 @ 2.7k (WD blue 1 tb not available in India, Its WD green @ 2.7k)
Corsair VX450@3.5k
MSI N450 CYCLONE @ 7.2k
NZXT Gamma@2k
LG 22x SATA DVD@0.9k
Logitech K+M combo @ 0.8k

Total: 29.9k

OP doesnt need cabby.
4GB RAM wil be needed for better photoshopping.
the 880GMA board is nearly extinct in india.
5770 is better than GTS450.

OP says that he cannot exceed 30k thats why i chose gts 450. And it does beat HD 5770 in some places. Check this NVIDIA’s GeForce GTS 450: Pushing Fermi In To The Mainstream - AnandTech :: Your Source for Hardware Analysis and News . Also 880GMA can still be found if OP searches a bit. Otherwise he can always go for 880GM. Removing the cabby lowers the cost and he can go for HD 6850 too as its available for around 9.5k these days.

those are highly oced cards in anandtech review. compare oc with oc. 5770 can be oced too. that green coloured in anandtech is stock 450. compare it with stock 5770, red coloured.. now name a game where 450 is ahead.

i know oced 450 is priced same as 5770 but remember 5770 can be overclocked also.

Yes performance of a gts 450 is in between a 5750 and a 5770. But getting a better custom cooler card always works great.

My 5750 has a great custom cooler and i reach the performance of a stock 5770 (almost) at a 800mhz oc for core clock and 1210 mhz for memory clock.But 5770 will always be ahead when overclocked owing to its additional simd's.

I recommended an OCed GTS 450(7.2k at SMC) because its cheaper than stock HD 5770 (8k at SMC) and I tried not to exceed the OPs budget of 30k. But as i included cabinet as well which was not required, the OP can go for HD 6850 by putting in 0.5k extra.

@ your budget Phenom II X4 955 is the best choice and for gaming HD 5770 as the other suggested. Best possible performance for your budget as well as 1600X 1200 resolution. Phenom II has gr8 Overclocking potential and I am sometime Oceing it to 3.6 GHz with the stock cooler. With a decent aftermarket cooler you can easily reach 3.8 Ghz to 4 GHz. Same is true for the HD 5770, when Oced it can offer you lot better performance than an GTS 450. Plus it is having very low power consumption and heat generation.

what cooler to use? cost? whats a simd?

SIMD stands for single instruction multiple data. XII standard computer course has a chapter containing that. :)

trying to get an aftermarket gpu cooler will be tough...atleast in india.
however, i think what is meant is that get a card which has a good cooler on it. MSI and Asus vrsions of 5770 are your options.
