I did not notice that the OP is from Chennai. :rofl:

@OP: First, stay away from theitdepot at all costs. They only try to rob you off your money.
As for the config, go for a SB based system. It will help you a lot since it is the latest technology.
So the Intel based config is good,
Component|Model|Price
CPU|Intel i5 2400|10k
Motherboard|Intel DH67BL B3|6k
RAM|Corsair 2x2GB 1333MHz|2.3k
HDD|Seagate 500GB|1.8k
DVD|LG\Samsung|0.9k
Case|NZXT Gamma|2.2k
Power Supply|Corsair VX450|3.5k
Graphic Card|Sapphire HD5770|7.8k
UPS|APC 800VA|3k
Monitor|LG E2040T-LED 20"|6.5k
Total||44k
The only place I suggest that you can cut down is the UPS, if you absolutely can not extend that 2k. Use a stabilizer(lieing around your home) instead until you are able to get a UPS.
The reason I am asking not to change any of the components is that, once you start using the system, it is likely that you will want to run programmes that are more demanding than what you have in mind. So you need atleast some headroom if you dont want to upgrade again in 6 months. But you are free to do as you please.

I see the mobo has support for USB 3.0 but thats not required for my purpose. So is there any way to cutoff mobo price and get HD6850? or stick with HD5770 and get UPS?

@OP: Sorry that I posted the earlier config, I think the config suggested by Ishu is a lot better. Which is as follows,
Component|Model|Price
CPU|Intel i5 2400|9.5k
Motherboard|Intel DH67BL B3|5.5k
RAM|Corsair 2x2GB 1333MHz|2.3k
HDD|Seagate 500GB|1.7k
DVD|LG\Samsung|0.9k
Case|NZXT Gamma|2k
Power SUpply|FSP SagaII 500W|2k
Graphic Card|Sapphire HD6850|9.5k
UPS|APC 800VA|3k
Monitor|20" Monitor|6k
Total||42.4k

But one aspect about the above config is the PSU. Corsair's 450W PSU can easily give you 530W, whereas FSP may not be able to. [Please clarify this, anyone]

You cannot cut off the Intel mobo, it is the cheapest SB mobo currently.

Try to procure all the components from Ritche street by yourself. I am sure you will end up getting great deals.

there is no cheaper motherboard available afaik. so go for the motherboard which ishu mentioned. also make sure that u have the B3 version of that motherboard in chennai. verify this first and then proceed for the purchase. else wait for 1-2 weeks.

hd 5770 is a lot better than 9800gtx+ in performance and much lower in power consumption.

hd 6850 will perform better than hd 5770 but with slightly more power consumption than hd 5770. which means, hd 6850 is a lot LOT better than 9800gtx+ and with lower power consumption than 9800gtx+.

choice is yours.

hd 6850 > hd 5770 >> 9800gtx+.

HD6850 is the best performer out of HD5770 , HD6850 and 9800GTX+. It is also the most future proof gfx card for you. So go for it eyes closed.

checked the prices with dealers,, in Chennai,,

Amd Phenom II x4 945 - Rs.6300
GA 880GMA UD2H - Rs.4300
Corsair 1333Mhz 2x2GB- Rs.2400
Seagate 500GB - Rs.1750
Samsung 22x - Rs.850
Sapphire HD6850 - Rs.11600
Nzxt Gamma - Rs.2170

Asus M4A88TM - Rs.3900
Power Color HD6850 - Rs.10800

1) Intel i5 2400 will be available only after a month in Chennai. Many dealers said as not yet released in Chennai. I want to buy in 3 days so what can I do?
2) What is the difference between Dell & Lg monitors that I have specified?
3) Will Power color do as Sapphire?
4) What is the difference between these two mobos?
5) Anyway to use other PSU that costs less?

want to buy in 3 days

order 2400 online if you want. but you might have to wait for B3 revision mobos.
get DELL.
yes, get from these - powercolor, sapphire, msi, asus
the gigabyte one has usb3 and sata3 and is good for overclockers.
get corsair vx450w only.
dont compromise on graphics card if you game. get 6850.

Yes, Jaskanwar is right.
Go for DELL IN2020M. I think bargaining will make its cost to around 6.4k.
Also go with Corsair if u opt for GAMMA.

Dont, The ITDepot have SB too..
So, better order i5-2400 online

Don't ever go with bad PSU's like Zebronics, i ball, intex etc.
Try to get the PSU online if its not available but never compromise on it.
