till now I have finalized following...
Gigabyte 790GX 8200/-
X4 940 BE 10425/-
2*2Gb DDR2 800 2500/-
GTX260 11070/- (planning to do cross fire in feature that is why not opted for GTX275)
Antec EA 650 4856/- (Would this be enough If I crossfire?)
WD caviar Green 500 GB 2800/-
Samsung 2233SW 10250/-

Total is 50100/-

Need KB&M, Cabinet and UPS.....
1)About UPS...APC 650VA would be enough for this system?
2)About KB&M.....Wireless set from Microsoft is good for gaming? or any other recommendations....budget is 1500/-
3)Cabinet....Zebronics or coolermaster or antec?

This is the one I was talking about: *www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1739&maincat_no=1

reviews:
*www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/790gxg65/
*www.legitreviews.com/article/953/1/

One thing that caught my eye is: Equipped 1 Gigabit (128MB) DDR3 1333MHz IGP boost memory to accelerate onboard VGA 3D performance enhanced up to an additional 15%.

Active Phase Switching, that is complete function to Control Power Demand With Switcing Dynamically, it’s for CPU, Memory and Chipset PWM.

yeah. add to that socket AM3, DDR3 and I am sure that it will be worthy to put extra 1k on that mobo.

I didn't read the whole thread, but in lynx-india.com AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition is available for Rs. 5200 plus tax which comes to Rs. 5400 approx.

Do consider it. Its the most VFM gaming CPU available. Better than P2X3 720BE or C2D E8600 if your only intention is to get a CPU which supports most games while allowing you to save enough money to get a high end graphics card.

there has been a price drop for every AMD processor except X3 720. Looks like this one is being sold like hot cakes.

@Venki, keep a hold on graphics card. Nvidia released GTX260M with GDDR5 memory which makes the card lot more faster. Also, since ATI did a price drop, you better wait for a week or two.

Note: GTX260M is for mobile platform and expect some changes in desktop platform too.

there won't be much change in DDR3/CPU/mobo

the only changes that are going to happen right now is for GPUs.
