Hey guys i am assembling a computer within the next 10 days here's what i am getting for myself:
1)Motherboard:Asus STRIKER EXTREME
Audio Supreme FX HD audio
2)Graphics Card(S):Two XFX 8600 gt in SLI
3)Processor:Intel CORE 2 DUO E6600
4)19" Monitor
5)2x1 GB DDR2 667 MHZ
6)5.1 surround sound speakers either logitech or altec or even creative
7)500 watt smps zebronics
8 )any good cabinet with good airflow
9)APC 650 VA UPS
10)200 gb sata 2 HDD probably samsung or seagate
11)SATA SONY AW-G170S Dvd writer
I have calculated the system powre consumption at 270 watts under heavy circumstances(leaving monitor and speakers)
The total is around Rs 64000
I wanted to know one thing rashi peripherals has a branch here and i want to buy most of the stuff from them(Mobo,Gfx(S),UPS,Speakers,dvd writer)
But they say that they don't directly deal with consumers as they don't have a whole sale shop I called them to inquire about some prices but they refused to tell me the prices then why is it mentioned on their site that call to enquire about the prices.
My brother had bought a dvd writer sony aw-g170s from them about 3 months ago but now they don't want sell me things what do i do?

They mostly provide stuffs for other ships in bulk and they dun sell directly to customers. Ask them, which is the best shop from where u can buy those items.

Also i suggest u to get an 8800 GTS 320MB or 640MB instead of 2x8600GT.
Get Zebronics 540W or 640W Diamond series PSU.
And get the Seagate 320GB sata2 [which has perpendicular recording technology] and is much faster than other drives. its bout 3.8k.

Also this will help in deciding the PSU.

go for single 880gts or gtx instead of dual 8600
go for 800mhz ram. cost diff isn't too much

800 mhz ddr2 ram won't help much cause in dual channel it becomes 2x800mhz but the maximum cpu fsb speed the motherboard the supports is 1333mhz which is 2x667 mhz thus it won't help.
ok i wanna know some computer peripherals prices
A good 19" monitor(both flat and non flat)
XFX 8800 gts 320 mb and 640 mb(i favor xfx cause its the best performer)

1)Motherboard:Asus STRIKER EXTREME ----> Asus P5N32-E is almost similar and cheaper
2)Graphics Card(S):Two XFX 8600 gt in SLI ------> 1 8800GTS shud suffice and perform better
3)Processor:Intel CORE 2 DUO E6600
4)19" Monitor
5)2x1 GB DDR2 667 MHZ --------> DDR2 800 if price difference isnt much
6)5.1 surround sound speakers either logitech or altec or even creative
7)500 watt smps zebronics -----> It is not going to cut it,get Corsair HX620W
8 )any good cabinet with good airflow ----> VIP ZB-01 / Zebronics Jamaica
9)APC 650 VA UPS -----> APC 800VA
10)200 gb sata 2 HDD probably samsung or seagate -----> 1 Seagate 320GB is decent
