My suggestion would be to opt for corsair cx400 if you are opting for GPU, just to keep some headroom.

And get 5670 in my opinio

Thx. 4 d reply guys.

@saswat23 - "GA 880GM UD2H" is not avlbl. in d market (If u dont mind plz. dont suggest it)
4 Phenom 955 II x4 955BE how abt. this MoBo Asus M4A88TD - M -EVO/ USB3 ?

@mailme.manju Bijli is not avlbl. so will use CM elite 310 also will not use "Athlon II X3 440"
Right now she doesn't want Gfx. card, how about on board? also if she wants install it later will d FSP Saga ii 400 work?
She has old Proview UPS (which she is using it 4 P4) wil it work?
(we have 2 ask Zebronics guys 2 introduce MUNNI brand cabby in d Mrkt. as it has entered Guinness records:lol:)

laborare est orare
mailme.manju, your suggestion is a very balanced one, but GTS 250 will be a little risk in a 400W PSU. It is a older generation cards and consumes more power and generates more heat. At least a good quality 450W-500W PSU is required for a GTS 250.
I think Sapphire HD 5670 512 MB will be the best choice for hit budget. Otherwise he can also go for Sapphire HD 5750 1 GB available @ 6.3K

Ok, this is ur modified config:
* PhenomII 955BE -- 6.5k
* GA MA785GMT US2H -- 3.4k
* HDD -- n/a
* GSkill 2GB DDR3 -- 1.2k
* LG 22x DVD RW -- 0.9k
* FSP SAGA II 500W -- 2k
* CM Elite 310 -- 1.5k
* Monitor --n/a
* Logitech KB combo -- 0.5k
* APC 600va -- 1.7k
Total --- 17.7k

The old UPS u are speaking of might just not be able to backup this rig i think. If its working then u can use it. And with the remaining amount u can opt for a more better mobo.

But i would strongly recomnd using UPS like APC.

If still budget is a problem then go for Athlon X4 640 at 4.4k.
