for normal usages/daily applications i3 will be enough for at least 3-4 years.

and will the all latest games run on the above config (lag free)? If so, till how much time it will be able to handle the latest games (coming in near future) to run on it?
^^games performance depends mainly on graphics card & game settings.when crysis was launched even the top-end cards of that time struggled at highest setting but today any decent medium range card can run crysis.there is no definite answer for your question.just buy the costliest card your budget permits & leave the rest to future.

but if someone has used HD6770 or may be u guys wud have read (reviews) somewhere.. so probably cud answer me if the latest games wil run on it or not
And please suggest me a cabinet as well
PS: I dont wanna play games on highest setting.. i can compromise by playing on low settings but it shud be lag free

i am not a gamer but i think most titles will run fine on medium-low settings with 6770.

Can somebody else verify this atleast with low settings?
see here.it should give you an idea but from whatever i read it seems that most games should be able to run lag free on 1366*768 or lower resolution with medium settings.

guys wanna confirm it again abt processor:
Is Intel core i3 2120 3.3 GHz for 7k worth?
It is luking odd to me as it has only 2 cores and it is 3.3 Ghz. I dont know how the cores effect the performance so am here to confirm it out
So since it has 2 cores is it a dual core processor?

In the zone
Get AMD a6
or AMD X4 965 BE if available they good processor and can be overclocked easily.Amd X4 is 5k I guess if available.

core i3 has hyperthreading meaning it has 2 real cores & 2 virtual cores(as seen by operating system).it will perform faster than 2 real core processor like pentium G620(which has no hyperthreading) but lesser than 4 real core processor like i5 which has no hyperthreading(i7 has hyperthreading so it is priced higher than i5 because it acts as 4 real cores+4 virtual cores so total 8 cores to an operating system).
P.S. in my opinion if you are spending 7k on i3 then if possible it is better to spend 10k on i5 because with just 3k extra you will get a more future proof processor.

Yes,Intel Core i3 is a dual core that is why i suggested a AMD A8 which is a quad core.No doubt this i3 will suffice for now but more and more application are utilizing multiple core.
Sooner or later you will feel your processor is outdated.My old system was a athlon Xp 2400+(Single Core) even though it serve me well now when i play a simple video processor usage shoots to 35% Later i bought a AMD Phenom X4 945 which is a quad core when playing videos its CPU usage is 2-5%. That is the advantage of getting Quad core.You can perform multiple task at a time without slowing your whole system.
May i know why do you need a intel even though A8 will fit your budget and will fulfill all your requirement.

okay so if i wud take i5-2310(2.9GHz 4 cores) inspite of i3-2120(3.3 GHz 2 cores).. approx how much difference wud happen in terms of performance(daily purpose softwares)..? and Will it increase gaming experience as well(as both have Intel HD 2000 integrated graphics)?
Was having luk at their flipkart page so have few queries:
1.Intel i3-2120 has 0 PCI slot as there is not mentioned but in i5 it is mentioned. Is this true?
2. Whats this "Socket Type-LGA1155" and "Socket Type- FCLGA1155"? So they both will be compatible with the motherboard i will be taking na?
3.In intel i5 it is written "No. of threads-4" (Same in i3) so does that mean in i5 total no. cores=4+4=8 (as seen by OS) (and in i3 total no. of cores=2+4=6) ??
4.Since in i5 TDP is 95 W and in i3 is 65 W so the SMPS i suggested (for me
) above will be compatible with i3?

PCI slot is present in motherboard not processor.
I will check this out
Intel i5 has 4 real core rather than 2 cores of i3 Real core have more effect on performance.
Get corsair Cx430 v2 for 2.3k

each thread runs in a single core(real or virtual).so 4 real cores with no hyperthreading will execute 4 threads(i5) while 2 real cores+2 virtual cores will also execute 4 threads(i3)but slower than i5.socket type is 1155 rest is just naming scheme for minor details so no need to worry.
