Thanks for the suggestions about PSU+Cabinet+Cooler. I liked them all. Specially the cabinet, which I feel, is awsome.:goodjob:
If you see my original requirements at the start of thread, you can notice that I had SSD in my mind. But, because of targetted budget, I decided that SSD can wait...
On a second thought and further review reading, I decided that ASUS P8Z77 m-pro would be a safer bet than ASRock P8Z77 Extreme-6. IMO, the build quality would matter in longer run. Thanks for the timely suggestion :)
I've read the guide and also read the similar PSU guide. Felt like revisiting...
I'm getting a K series so that I should be OC ready if I have to do so sometime in future. Currently, its not required as I'll not be gaming.
Since, no gaming, I'll not be buying a GPU for now but want my CPU+mobo to be able to accomodate one later. I guess HD 4000 of 3570k would serve to my...

Thanks a lot for quick suggestions. Although two of them were vastly different, I have some basis of making decision based on these.
@panwala95 - You completely ignored the monitor requirement for me :(

How do I make a decision? MoBo is perhaps the most difficult decision factor...
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: I'm a Integration developer by profession so I'll be...
@Tonmoyfx - Thanks for the thread. I had similar requirements in my mind. Not a gaming PC but a developer's one.
@Vineet09 & @Utkarsh - I saw the performance comparison for the two CPUs you recommended here:
AMD Phenom II X4 960T vs Intel Core i5-2320
I believe, the Intel i5 is worth the 2.5k...
