veryone. I am going to upgrade my crap dual core pc into a Top End Gaming rig. And I need expert's help. Here are the details:

configuration, then mention
this too.
Ans: 75-80k Can extend max to 85k but will try to fit in 80k

are you planning to use?
Ans: Win XP 7 64bit.

space is needed?
Ans: 1 TB
6. Do you want to buy a
monitor? If yes, please

open to buying stuff from
online shops if you don't get

Ans: I will buy from Jaipur if its cheap. Can buy online with cash on delivery available in jaipur.Like Flipkart, Letsbuy.com
11. Anything else which you
would like to say?
Ans: Suggest cheap nd good ssd if possible in budget. Also suggest gaming mouse, speakers , gamepad.
I know I will get some good advices from experts here without waiting much..
First I have decided a price limit og every part. You can change it if its necessary.
Cabinet: 5k
Mobo: 15k
CPU: 13K
RAM: 3K
HDD: 6K
DVD ROM: 1.5K
PSU: 6K
GPU: 15-22K
MONITOR: 7-10K
KeyB+Mouse: 2.5k
Gamepad: 1k
Speaker: 3k
These are the items I have decided with some comments:
Cpu: i5 2500k- 12k(I think its good enough for Calculation after oc)
MOBO: Asus Maximus Gene Z- 12.5k (Which is better Asus p8z68 V Pro or this one? VPro is 14.5k, I will do CPU nd GPU oc if needed)
Cabinet: Corsair 400R 5.4k vs CM 690II PLUS 5K (I am thinking of CM)
RAM: Gskill Ripsaw (I dont remember name but its available on flipkart for 1700 for 4gb, I am thinking to buy 8 GB of Ram for bettr calculations and faster loading times)
HDD: Plz suggest a good fast responsive HDD with fast read write speeds I dont want my expensive Pc lags or takes too long to copy something becuz of HDD. I can spend 5-7 k for 1 TB. Noise is not issue)
PSU: Corsair CMPSU 650 TX - 5300
Monitor: Benq 2220 vs Benq 2222 for 8k or Lg 2360 for 9.5k
Mouse: LOGITECH GS400 I really like it. For 1500. Coments on it? And any wireless keyb for 1-1.5k?
Gamepad: LIGITECH RUMBLE F310 1.2K or Thrush master firestorm 3 for .8k is ok for casual racing games.
GPU: I first decided to go for HD 6950 For 16k but now I decided I am not going to add another GPU in near future so 6950 wont give good playable frames on full hd. But I think GTX 570 can do it for most of the games. Specially in dirt 3 nd Starcraft which i m gonna play. It gives pretty more fps. So I think gtx 570 will give value for its 4k more bucks than 6950.
Flipkart has Galaxy nd Sparkle GTX 570 prices at19.5 nd 21 k. But they both are at 732 Mhz so is there much diff between 732 Mhz nd 820 Mhz stock speed gtx 570s? And I think I cant see more than 60fps on my monitor. So if a game gives minimum 50-60 fps nd another one gives 100-120 fps there is no diffeeence Right?
And also suggest a good retailer in jaipur or online store?
I wrote my problem and questions in detail so hoping all of u experts will give solution and knowledge..
Sorry for my bad English. I wrote everythinv on my S2 so I might mis spelled at some places. Waiting for replies....
