This is my proposed config:

corsair xms 2GB ram
500 GB seagate baracudda
cooler master extreme 500
cooler master elite 360

pls give me better conf at this budget or this is ok?,should i go for amd or intel?,should i go for hd 5750 as i have limited budget? if amd pls give me reason please please

that core i5 is much better than any amd phenomII processor but hd 5750 is not too good. if you only want to play games then opt for a better gfx card. most probably you can choose hd6850 @10k and change the psu to corsair vx450 @ 3.6k and get gigabyte ga-880gm-ud2h @4k but if it gets too high on budget then opt for phenom II 955 BE @6.5k . but if you want a better proccy and can invest on gfx card later on then go for that core i5 processor.

Intel Core i5 2400 @ 9.5k
Intel DH67CL @ 6.5k
Corsair XMS3 DDR3 2x2GB 1600MHz@ 2.4k <--Get 4GB instead of 2GB
Sapphire HD5770 1GB @ 7.5k
Seagate 500GB 7200.12/ WDC 500GB Blue @ 1.7k
LG 22X SATA DVD @ 0.9k
Corsair VX550 @ 4.5k
NZXT Gamma @2k

Total --> 35k

However if you can't extend your budget slightly, then AMD config will be better.

AMD Athlon II X4 635 @ 4.3k
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H @ 4.1k
Corsair XMS3 DDR3 2x2GB 1600MHz@ 2.4k <--Get 4GB instead of 2GB
Sapphire HD6850 1GB @ 9.5k
Seagate 500GB 7200.12/ WDC 500GB Blue @ 1.7k
LG 22X SATA DVD @ 0.9k
Corsair VX550 @ 4.5k
NZXT Gamma @2k

Total --> 29.4k

A 120mm Cooler Master fan will cost you 0.5k (LED version) or 0.2k (Non-LED version).

^^ He can better opt for VX550W as it will give you more upgrade headroom and still 2.5k left with the OP's desired budget....

Or else he can go for 1TB HDD.

If u can get a GPU later then surely go for i5-2400, its better than any AMD proccy out there.

Intel core i5 2400 @ 9.5k
Intel DH67BL B3 @ 5.7k
Corsair XMS3 DDR3 2x2 GB @ 2.4k
Seagate 500GB 7200.12 @ 1.7k
Corsair VX450W @ 3.5k
NZXT Gamma @ 2k
Sapphire HD5670 1GB GDDR5 @ 5k <---- since you are a moderate gamer (But later you said you wanna run all the games fine..!!)
LG DVD RW @ 0.9k
CM 120mm Non-LED @ 0.2k


Total = 30.9k

If you wanna play all the future games then you should buy a good GPU (atleast a HD6850/GTX 460).
But the suggested HD5670 is not at all bad, i think.
