Athlon II X4 635 - 4.6k
Gigabyte GA 880GM UD2H - 4.5k
Corsair DDR3 1333 Mhz 2 x 2 GB - 4.8k
Nvidia GTX 460 - 12.5k (brand suggestions from others)
Corsair VX450W - 3.7k
WD Blue 500 GB - 1.9k
Cooler Master Elite 430 - 2.6k
BenQ 22" Full HD - 7.6k
Keyboard mouse - 1k

Total - 43.1k

Check street prices, they may differ slightly. If you need speaker & UPS at this budget, you may want to reduce the graphics card to HD 5770 @9.5k or GTS 450 @8k. If you decide to buy any of these 2 graphics cards, you can skip the VX450 and go for Corsair CX400W @2.7k or FSP Saga II 500W @2.5k.

To reduce price, you can also go for Zebronics Bijli cabinet @1.2k (without SMPS) or you can skip 2 GB RAM for now and add it later when prices fall further.

I will say skip the extra 2gb now and get zotac gtx460 1gb as ur main purpose is gaming.

 

[karthik.2691]

This is definetly a very good configuration , but can anyone suggest ati-amd graphic cards also , as having all amd products on your computer can also enable AMD Fusion ...

 

[coderunknown]

^^ AMD Fusion is the name for a range of processors to be launched next year or late this year that have graphics on die i.e. like i3. processor & graphics inside the processor.

Actually that is true , but there is also an amd fusion software on the amd website , which is a software for cpu's with all amd products , and i have used it and it does increase fps in games .

Here goes your suggestion:

Processor: Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz @ 9.6k
Motherboard: MSI 880GMA-E45 @ 5.8k
Ram: Kingston 2 X 2 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 C9 @ 4.6k
Cabinet: NZXT M59 @ 3.8k
Keyboard: Razer Arctosa @ 2.4k
Mouse: Razer Abyssus Black @ 1.5k
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB @ 2.9k
Optical Drive: LG 22x SATA DVD @ 1k
Monitor: BenQ 22" G2220 FULL HD LCD Monitor @ 7.5k
PSU: Corsair TX750W @ 6.45k
Card: MSI HD5870 1GB GDDR5 @ 22.3k

total 67.85k + 4 % Vat = 70.5k

I was just going to suggest you a Intel Core i5 760 based solution and then found out that you mentioned Adobe products, which means heavily multithreaded application handling. So suggesting you an AMD 6 Core based solution.

Reason:
1. Processor: The processor might be little slower in gaming, but will perform better in multithreaded applications.
2. Mobo: The MSI one is having both SATA 3 and USB 3 support. SO it is very much future proof.
3. Keyboard & Mouse: You mentioned Hard Gaming, so suggested one hell of a gamers choice. You can go by your choice to reduce price.
4. Display: A 22" monitor is very much suitable for your work, infact 24" will be better. But within 6k, it is hard to find. You will get max 20" monitor and then your whole system will be a over kill for the resolution. Thats why the Benq one, perfect balance between performance and price.
5. Graphics Card: ATI HD 5870 is a monster and will handle any thing you throw on it. If you want a solution stable for at least couple of years, then it is the best solution.
6.PSU: Handling such a load, you need a premium level PSU. SO Corsair TX750. In fact enough for your possible future upgrades.

^^ someone else suggest the config but i want ask, why are you limiting monitor budget just at 6k?

also for 1-2hrs backup you'll require a 1200-1500VA USP from APC. maybe more depending on your final config.

the above post is for jayant_raj7. got late in posting

[Jaskanwar Singh]

@jayant_raj7

i suggest i5 760. better in gaming and adobe photoshop and all. also gtx460 in sli performs better in gaming than hd5870.

Intel Core i5 760 @ 9.8k
MSI P55 GD65 @ 7.9K
G.Skill 2 * 2GB DDR3 1600MHz @ 5k
Zotac GTX460 1GB * 2 SLI @ 25k
WD 1TB Black @ 4.5k
LG H55N DVD @ 1k
Corsair TX650W @ 6k
CM 690 II Plus @ 5.3k
BenQ 22" G2220 LCD @ 7.5k

Total - 72k

What do you mean by "There's no Gfx card". Did uou read my post properly? What is MSI HD5870 1GB GDDR5 @ 22.3k? I think it is a Graphics card.

 

[jayantr7]

Procey : Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz @ 9.6k
Motherboard : MSI 880GMA-E45 @ 5.8k
RAM : Kingston 2 X 2 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 C9 @ 4.6k
HDD : WD 1TB Black @ 4.5k
Monitor : BenQ 22" G2220 FULL HD LCD Monitor @ 7.5k
PSU : Corsair TX750W @ 6.45k
DVD Writer : LG 22x SATA DVD @ 1k

Guys I finalized till here.Due to a prob.,I have to stick with HD 5850..so please tell,which manufacturer's is the best?XFX?

Please tell a cabinet+a very good cooling system+UPS range/....no need to tell much more....+give some tips..

What do you mean by "There's no Gfx card". Did uou read my post properly? What is MSI HD5870 1GB GDDR5 @ 22.3k? I think it is a Graphics card.

I'm sorry.I forgot to get a look at that..

 

[Cilus]

I'm sorry.I forgot to get a look at that..

Its ok buddy. No problem at all.
For Graphics card brand, avoid XFX, they are having heating issue. Even my card is having some problem regarding extra heat.

Sapphire HD5850 1GB GDDR5 @ 15.8k or VTX3D HD5850 1GB GDDR5 @ 15.2k should be good choice. If you want a little extra cooling and over clocking potential, then spend some extra money to get a MSI HD5850 Twin Frozr II 1GB GDDR5 @ 16.8k
