Buy a XBox 360 and 10 good titles.You will end up saving a lot of money with which you can even buy a 1080p HDTV!I'm sure this setup will last more than what you are spending on your PC!

Thank you very much for the configs Kane. It is awsome. So many options. I'd give you 10/10.

Nope. I am not buying console cos' I like FPS. And I don't think there are FPSes for console.

I bought the Cooler Master Centurion 590 Cabinet for 4k in Bangalore. I checked on CM Ammo and though it looks jazzy, I found Centurion 590 much better and with well planned layout. The CM Ammo Startup button lids are too flimsy and won't last few months! To top it Centurion 590 comes with a 120mm fan attached to HDD stacker module. The whole CPU is black and has a blue glow with the fan lights and the power LEDs. For review check this link.

In this thread I saw someone mentioned Zebronics cabinets. Please ignore these as they simply wont fit you graphic cards.

I also got the Cooler Master power supply M520 for 6k. Its pretty good. I have a single 8800GTS and this power supply was good enough. In your case, try to go for atleast Real Power M850.

Go for dual SLI with 2 x 9800GTX and fit in a decent liquid cooling unit.

You may look for x48 chipset MoBo. You may look for Abit.

Steelseries keyboard and mouse are good for gaming. Wolfking are specialists but I won't go there!

HDD. Anything below Raptor is no good.

Look for a minimum 24 inch monitor with 2ms response atleast.

Let me know when you get the system built. Cheers

Thanks for the suggestions. Right now I am buying all the components one by one(which is very tiresome as well as exciting), so as soon as I am done with it i'll let you know.

** Its not too wise to spend too many bucks on some stupid eye-candy filled keyboard or mouse. The standard keyboard and mouse are good enough. However, a better mouse can be recommended since it will give you a higher dpi.

Go for dual SLI with 2 x 9800GTX and fit in a decent liquid cooling unit.

You may look for x48 chipset MoBo. You may look for Abit.

SLI is NOT SUPPORTED on X48. CrossFire is.
