Thanks for all the help. But guess my friend's dad was just impatient so he just went ahead wid da Intel E7500 config with some Gigabyte GM-31 mobo. Now it doesn't matter coz friend is not that much into geeky info and usage.

@desiibond
I chked out a few Linksys ADSL2+ Gateway models but can't make up my mind. I have seen a review of Linksys WAG354G wireless ADSL2+ on the net and specs of Linksys ADSL2 with 4 port switch (model: AG241) on the main site. Plus the shop from where i will buy said that Linksys WAG54G is available with him and cost is Rs 3400. Which among the three is better in terms of performance specs such as throughput, signal strength and wireless fidelity??
Most importantly there shouldn't be port forwarding issues (for my torrent applications) with any of these.
I will be buying it in about a week's time so any more suggestions or advices are welcomed.

go for ADSL2+ gateway. ADSL2+ gives more bandwidth when compared to ADSL2.

[desiibond]

^^how about saving 3k by going for 780G + DDR2 and gettin GTX260 instead of GTS250

 

[Krow]

^Good idea, but DDR2 prices have risen recently, haven't they? If not, then he should go for DDR2 instead.

 

[desiibond]

how much is for 2Gb? corsair XMS2 should be around 1.7k right?

On TE I saw people posting that 2GB DDR2 (non-Corsair) modules cost around 1.8-2.5k!

Phenom II X2 545 is better for gaming as most games don't utilise four cores today. You can buy it, you won't regret later. It's a great processor.

None. Get the ASUS board we suggested along with DDR3 RAM instead. 2GB DDR2 @ 2k is damn expensive and non-futureproof. To save money, you may buy the 2033SW, although I still stand by the 2233SW. Microtek UPSes are bad. Look for APC UPS. Get logitech wired combo.

AMD Phenom II X4 810 @ ~8.5k or previously mentioned proccys
ASUS M4A785G-TD-V EVO @ 6.7k
2x2GB DDR3 RAM @ 4.5k
Samsung 2233SW or Dell S2209W @ ~9.5k or AOC Fovi F22 @ 8.8k
CM Elite 330 @ 1.8k
Corsair VX450W @ 4k
Palit GTS250 512MB GDDR3 @ 7.3k [I'd say drop this card for now. Wait a couple of months and get the next gen cards from nvidia/ati at lower prices. On the onboard graphics in the ASUS mobo, you can play all games @ low-med settings including crysis, although GTA IV is not going to be playable onboard. This way your rig will not need an upgrade for a longer duration.]

3 years is still too much to expect from a rig IMO.
