If u can go for AMD ..then u could squeeze in A HD4850 and it will blow the present config away. Just the following changes :
CPU AMD X3 8450 -- 5.7k
Gigabyte 780G board (rev other than 1) -- 5k

and bout other things ..
UR HDD prices are around 300-400 higher thn market price ... same for DVDRW (u wnt be needing lightscribe unless u r RICH and Spoilt enuf to waste 100 bucks just to print disk labels per disk.)
And for LCD, Go for AOC 913FW (Romeo and Juilet model) instead of the above mentioned model from AOC. It has killer looks.

Palit 9600GSO Sonic 384MB DDR3-------------6500
Cooler Master Elite 330-----1900(someone said its price is 1600, not pretty sure)
Logitech Mouse Keyboard combo
SMPS- CoolerMaster Extreme Power 460W
Dell 19" SE198WFP Widescreen LCD----9700
2.1 speakers none of you suggested, I would say Altec Lansing BX1121R - less than 1200
DVD Burner (Sony or Asus, preferably Asus, both would come around 1200)

Proccy+Mobo is always controversial issue But from the selections you have made I would suggest e8200(price is around Rs 7400) +Abit IP-35P (its P and not E)-(Rs. 5300)

Buddy whoever gave you these quotes gave you higher price, and not but 100 or 200 but 300-400 on each product. except for the mobo and GPU

yea .. I missed the speakers ....
Creative SBS 370 has been out of production and A300 has replaced it. But Altec Lansing wld be a better choice IMO.

I am really confused about Procy + Mobo.
My budget is tight :(

I am thinking for Palit 8600 256MB GDDR3. does it have overheating isuue like XFX Model??

Also what will be better from this
Intel C2D E7200 3Mb L2 + Palit 9600GSO 384Mb GDDR3 or
Intel C2D E8200 6MB L2 + Palit 8600 256MB GDDR3 ??

Also suggets mobo which supports PCIe v2.0 under 5000-6000 Rs ??

If u dnt want to stick to Intel ..then..
AMD X3 8450 + Gigabyte 780G + HD 3850 or 4850 is a far better config thn these two u mentioned.
The board has PCIe 2.0, DVI, HDMI, eSATA, Firewire, DirectX 10 Onboard graphics, Support max 16 GB DDR2 1066 RAM, 5 SATA ports etc.

and X3 8450 is better than 7200, and 3850/4850 are better than 8600GT/9600 GSO.

whoru007, which PSU have you decided for your cooler master cabby.
Instead of Logitech R-20 2.1Ch Speakers, check Altec Lansing BXR1121

U r right but i am already out of my budget. I have sold my old System to my friend in 15,000 & i can add maximum s. all ur prices r very high.
20,000 in it so it can be max 35,000. Also i have seen reviews on compairsion between E8200 & E7200 they are just differing by 10% which is not much higher. Also I am Gettin Palit 9600GSO 384Mb GFX card which will stabilize the System & will provide more graphic to me.

ps. all ur prices r very high

Man if you are not into over clocking then you must get a amd rig. As you can pop in a 4850 for high end gaming. Or 8800 gtx with a c2q proccey will do the job:)
