Buddy since gaming is your requirement, then i want to suggest a more powerful gpu instead. Check the following:

Processor | Intel Core i5 2400 | 9.5k
Motherboard | Intel DH61WW | 3.5k
Ram | Corsair single 4gb xms 3 | 2.5k
Gpu | *Sapphire 6950 1gb| 14.5k
Hdd | Seagate ITB 7200.12 | 2.5k
Psu | SeaSonic S12II 520W| 4K
Total | |36.5k

I have suggested a powerful card and in case you change the monitor to fullhd in future, 6950 will prove very very useful then. Graphic card cannot be upgraded later so stick with a powerful gpu from start.



* Alternately you can also go for MSI GTX560 Twin Frozr II OC @ 14.5k.

yeah, Hdd prices have fallen a lot over last year.
2.5 k is good price.

Go for Sapphire hd6950 it will help you in gaming, future proofing.

ankit would be gaming at 1440x900 resolution
even a 5770 would be more than enough
6850 if he wants DX11

^^ Thats why i suggested a single 4gb instead of 2x2gb. Later on, op can upgrade to another 4 gb and run them in dual channel config of 4x2. 8gb is more than enough for future gaming too.

About 6950/560, i said when op changes his monitor to fullhd, he doesn't have to upgrade the graphics card. Better to go for a powerful gpu if it comes under budget.

^^ Yes, that is true. Gtx 560 is hell of an overclocker. At 950 mhz, it performs equally with a gtx 570 and radeon 6970.

^^ Who told you? Msi is one of the best board makers. On par with asus and gigabyte.

Its twin frozr II design is one of the best in cooling.

How about a 5850???

I said I have heard..
I was not sure..
What about a 5850 or 6850 or any othe Geforce under 10k..
And no monitor upgrade for 2 years,he will be buying a new laptop as soon as school is over i.e after 2yrs..

^^ In that case, stick with a 6850. 5850 is old and power hungry. Gtx 460 is the only geforce around 10k.

Just know that even a 90k laptop cannot match the above desktop config. It will be far powerful.
