Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.5 GHz
Gigabyte GA-G41M-COMBO-GQ motherboard with G41 express chipset(integrated graphics)
kingston 2 GB RAM DDR3
500GB WD Hard Disk 54000RPM
BenQ LED Monitor-19" 1366x786 resolution
Samsung DVD RW
iball Keyboard and USB Optical Mouse
iball Cabinet with SMPS (250W very basic, was bundled with cabinet)
Creative speakers(very basic model, also having problems with it)

so far i've come up with a list of upgrades:

4600rs for graphic card Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB DDR3 Graphics Card - Sapphire: Flipkart.com

900rs for PSU/SMPS above 400/450W, suggest a model please

2500rs for 4GB DDR3 RAM Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9) - Corsair: Flipkart.com
(Not sure if the ram will work with my motherboard)

1.5k for speakers suggest a speaker too

Guys, please advice me regarding the upgradation, since this is the 1st time i'm buying a graphic card :-D

try to get 7770 ~ 8K/7750~7K and Antek VP 450 ~ 2.6K.
For GPU search local market flipkart prices are high.
You can get Corsair Value 4GB 1333 ~ 1.5K

can any please guide me on my RAM

I am looking to build myself a computer however i have been informed that certain types of RAM may not be compatible with certain motherboards so am i wondering if this RAM:

Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9) Vengeance®
is compatible with this motherboard
Gigabyte GA-G41M-Combo (rev. 1.3) ?? GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 775 - GA-G41M-Combo (rev. 1.3)

your board and cpu support ram speed upto 1333mhz only
so highe speed ram are not natively supported by your board

so instead of 1600mhz ram get 1333mhz which costs less than 1600mhz without any performance loss
