I have came across the following configuration.

Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE @5500.00
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT S2P @ 2800.00
RAM: G Skill F3-10600CL9S-4GBNT @ 1350.00
PSU: FSP Saga II 500 @ 2500.00
CPU Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper TX3 1200.00
Graphic Card: Sapphire HD6750 @ 6000.00
Monitor: BenQ G2220HD @ 7600.00
Chassis: Zebronics Bijli @ 1100.00
HDD: Seagate 1TB Barracuda @ 2700.00
Keyboard Mouse Combo: Logitech Classic MK100 @ 550.00
Speaker: Altec Lansing Altec VS 2621 @ 1547.00
DVD Writer: LG 22X SATA DVD @ 1K

But Firstly, i am confused regarding the Graphics card! which specific product model of ATI would be best. I compare the benchmarks at passmark.com and found following benchmark ratings:

Sapphire HD6770 1GB GDDR5 @ 6.5k = 1749
Sapphire HD6750 1GB GDDR5 @ 6k = 1617
MSI HD6670 1GB GDDR5 @ 5.3k = 1257
MSI R6570 1GB GDDR3 @ 4.1k = 915


so please suggest me the best one upto 6.5K
please do mention the latest prices as those i've mentioned are older ones.

Secondly, wanna know about the processor?
would Athlon X4 be better than Phenom X4?
their rating according to passmark.com are:

Phenom II X4 965 3.4GHz @ 6.4k = 4289
Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz @ 5.5k = 3965
Athlon II X4 645 @ 4K = 3653
Athlon II X4 635 @ 4K = 3367

i want processor upto 5.5K

and finally i want my rig cost upto 31k and i dont want any UPS, so please suggest me a rig with following requirements which is future-proof.
and also the the corresponding prices of each component.

Most Probably You Wont get The GSkills Ram In Your area and the FSP Power Supply Would Be Not Available In The Area...All Depends on The Dealer ....Get A Alternative Ready for that....It Took 1 week for Me To Get The GSkills Ram...

You don't need a CPU Cooler, else rig seems fine IMO. Checkout this Alternate Rig in lieu of availability issues.

Corsair is there in both cases. CX430 V2 should do fine.

My suggestion:
* Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE @5.5k
* Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT S2P @ 2.8k
* RAM: G Skill F3-10600CL9S-4GBNT @ 1.3k
* HDD: Seagate 1TB Barracuda @ 2.7k
* ODD: Asus 24X DVD-RW @ 1K
* PSU: FSP SAGA-II 500W @ 2.2k
* GPU: MSi/Sapphire/Asus HD6770 @ 6.6k
* Cabinet: Zebronics Reaper/Aviator w/o PSU @ 1.5k
* Monitor: DELL ST2220M/L HD LED @ 7.9k
* Desket Combo: Logitech Classic MK100 @ 0.55k (else MS KB combo at 0.6k with MM keyboard and light weight mouse)
* Speaker: Logitech Z313 @ 1.3k
Total @ 33.35k


You currently wont require a CPU cooler. Even with the stock cooler you can OC your processor to a good extent.
As BenQ G2220HD costs 7.6k, so its better to go with DELL ST2220L/M @ 7.9k.
Both Logitech and Microsoft Deskets have 3yrs warranty, so go with anyone. MS would be a better choice here as it comes with a MM keyboard. But if you can find Logitech Desket with MMS Keyboard at 0.6k then get any one.
