Here is my suggestion:
buy wd green (64mb cache) 1tb or seagate 1tb instead of toshiba. Reason not sure about performance and after sale service of toshiba drives.
buy nzxt gamma for 2.4k or nzxt source 210 elite for 2.7k and save some money.
for monitor i think you can go for benq gl2240hm for 8.3k by using the saved money.
Rest config is good
Hope this helps

I like your proposed config, except for the few bolder points:

1. Price of 4GB RAM is too high. It should be ~1.5K
2. Instead of Gigabyte HD7770, get Sapphire HD7770 or MSI HD7770. Cause, Gigabyte is having wired issues with RAM lately.
3. Don't buy Toshiba HDD only because its cheaper or the shopkeeper is offering you. Either go for WD Blue 500GB @3.4K or Seagate 1TB 7200.12 @4.5K
Again, don't buy WD Green as it is infamous of failing quickly and thus it is said to have reliability issues.
4. Think about NZXT Source 210 @2.6K (If it is available at your place)
5. Dell ST2420L @8.4K
If you want anything withing 8K, then Dell ST2220L @8K

Why not Toshiba HDD? I hope you know Toshiba offers 3 years of product warranty and they have already taken over the 3.5" HDD manufacturing from WD already. So now on, you will be receiving Toshiba HDD only instead of WD warranty. Not to mention, WD Blue 1 TB HDD are extremely rare to find and their Green is poor in performance.

You are not sure that dosnt mean Toshiba is bad. Toshiba has invented a lot of technologies regarding HDDs and its evident in how all modern HDDs work even the one inside your PC!

I would suggest a Toshiba instead of a Seagate ,though good products of late ,but pathetic after sales support. Moreover Toshiba ofers 3 years of warranty over the 1 year by Seagate and 2 years by WD.

And whatever WD you suggest chances are that they are made by Toshiba!!!

> Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9) - Corsair: Flipkart.com

Corsair vengence 1600 MHz available for ~Rs.1700 at flipkart with 10 years warrenty

 

[The Incinerator]

These Rams used to retail for Rs 1600 and less. The Gskill is now Rs 1780 and above so is the Vengeance. Flipkart at the moment is selling them the cheapest online. Prime abgb it depot Md computers ....prices are sky high.

AFAIK, Toshiba offers 2 years of warranty. And Toshiba bought a part of 3.5" HDD manufacturing share from WD.
And the reason I'm not suggesting Toshiba because I didn't really see anyone having RMA with toshiba or how their RMA process is. Yes, their pricing is low, but low pricing doesn't mean their RMA procedure will be as good as WD or Seagate.
Correct me if I'm missing something here.

And you say we will be receiving Toshiba HDD instead of WD after RMA? I didn't get it.

Okay,But Better Performance? And Overall Which Is Better?
Also,Tell Me About The Monitor?

ThankYou!

 

[The Incinerator]

G Skill and Philips

If you can bargain and go for the Dell S2240L at Rs 8675/Rs 8700, then nothing like it. That price is possible but only with a bargain on that Dell panel

As I am buying from nehru place and when i checked the price list the price of s2240l was listed for 8360 that means i will get it for that much? ^_^
Or do i have to pay extra tax on that? :O
if yes,then after tax what will be the net?

[The Incinerator]

You are referring to ST2220L's Rs 8360 price, while Im asking you to get an S2240L

 

[Technogeared007]

Oh Okay!

So, If I am able to get that monitor for around 8500 after bargain then perfect if not then will go of philips 222EL2SB/00.
And please tell me about the graphic card?

And I Am getting Gigabyte GPU As It Is Cheap And Only Fit In My Budget.. Saphire and other are 1.5k expensive than this

1. There is no discussion going on about the choice of HDD. You can suggest, choice is yours.
2. RipjawsX. It is better overclocker and cheaper than Vengeance.
3. Couldn't you find Dell ST2240? If not then, go for Sell ST2220L.
