CM430 don't have better cable management compared to NZXT Gamma. Air flow is on par in both the cases. You will actually pay 500-600 bucks more just for the transparent side panel.

For development software like Eclipse, RAD, and other tools, is AMD not suitable? I suggested a friend with similar requirements but 30K budget, AMD Phenom 955/840 with 890GX mobo's onboad graphics to power HD movies on a BenQ 22" full HD LED. And Corsair 1600 speed 4GB ram.
He hasnt bought the system yet, so please let me know if it isnt appropriate for dev work.
Thanks.

I think it would not matter unless he is doing some heavy video editing/Gaming.
EDIT: May go to SP Road to get some quotes
if Rain Permits 
Ok Just got back from SP Road with my New Router/Modem
. I check in a couple of places for the prices and here it is. i5 2400 - Rs. 8900/-
i5 2500K - Rs. 10,100/- / 9800 /-
DH67BL - 5350 to 6000
Other than the processor and MB, they didn't have any idea about
G.Skill RipJaw
NZXT GAMMA
or
FSP Saga II 500W - Acutally one shop had to Saga II 400 .I didn't check the price as I was in an hurry.
So other than the case/SMPS it would cost me 18500 - 19500 with a 2500K Processor .
As the cost between 2400 and 2500K is hardly Rs. 1000 I am tempted to go for the 2500K.
What I can do is that I will go with 2500K + DH67BL for now.. after a couple of months I will move the DH67BL to a HTPC rig and buy another motherboard + GFX card.

Why 2500k if your are not going to OC? Waste of money IMO. Better get i5- 2500.
DH67BL @ 5350 looking good but 6k will be over priced.
for RAM other than G-skill; Corsair XMS3(CMX4GX3M1A1333C9)@ 2.2k will be fine IMO.
For Cabi get CM Elite430 @2.5k if NZXT Gamma isn't available.

DOn't get XMS3 for Sandy Bridge motherboards as Sandy Bridge Mobo ram slots are operate on 1.5V whereas XMS3 is a 1.65V ram module. I've heard about some incompatibility issues between these high voltage ram modules and Sandy Bridge mobos.
shayem is right about one thing, if you don't overclock then no need for the K series processor. the performance difference between the 2400 and the non K version of 2500 is just marginal.
But if you think that in future after you learn how to OC, you are planning for OC, then you can go for a 2500K

Didn't know that. Thanks for the info Cilus, will check that on web.
& for RAM Corsair(CMV4GX3M1A1333C9)@ 2k if G-Skill is not available.

Update: As I could not buy the components last week, So I have postponed the purchase to next month.
I can also increase my budget up to 27K, mainly focusing on motherboard. if the cost come with 25K then I will be happy
I want to go for i5 2500K + Z68 based motherboard. I will overclock the processor later.
Two features of the Z68 motherboards impressed me to change my decision.
1. Intel Smart Response Technology
2. Virtu
I can buy a SSD and a Midrange GFX in a couple of months time.
I have only seen reviews of ASUS P8Z68-V Pro (not sure about the price and availability). I am not aware about Z68 Motherboards from other manufacturers.
So here is the thing. I will run the CPU on stock cooling for the moment and couple of months later I will upgrade the GPU, good Cooling solution for overclocking and may be add a SSD.
What do you guys say?
any one?

Wokay.. I somehow spent the reserve money I had kept for Z68 Motherboard.. so I am back to the same configuration.
Tomorrow is the D-Day!
I will check if G-Skill RAM is available or else I will for for Corsair(CMV4GX3M1A1333C9) ..
Hope I don't over shoot the budget!!!

Hi Bushan, Cilus said the XMS3 Series has some issues as stated in the below quote.

well, i am not facing any problem here..running everything fine or just superb..
i think those corsair or any other company's modules operate on 1.65V when u run at 1600 MHz frequency...and on H61, H67 boards, you can not overclock ram modules beyond 1333 MHz running already on 1.5V..that's what my CPU-Z report shows...
upto 1333 MHz = 1.5V and below
from 1600 MHz = 1.65V and above
that's what i think..so don't worry..

thanks for CPU-Z screenshots man..cleared doubt..g.skill operates on 1.5V at any frequency upto 1600 MHz unlike corsair which operates on 1.65V at 1600 MHz and on 1.5V at 1333 MHz and below..but both will work on 1.5V at 1333 MHz on h61, h67 boards..so no need to worry for me too.. post components pics too if possible..
