If it is exlusively for gaming then get a mid-range processor and very powerful GPU.

Here is my suggestion:-

AMD Phenom II X4 970 B.E @ 7.6K
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 @ 6.6K
G-skill Ripjaw 1600 MHz 4GBX1 @ 1.55K
Seagate/WD Caviar Blue 500 GB HDD @ 4.05K
Seasonic SS12II 620 @ 4.6K
NZXT Source 210 Elite @ 2.5K
Lenovo M6811 Gaming Mouse @ 0.6K
Logitech Keyboard @ 0.3K
Gigabyte HD 7850 2GB OC GDDR5 @ 15.2K
BenQ G2220HDL @ 7.5K

Total 50.5K. If you wanna spend another 3K then get a CPU cooler like Deep Cool Ice Blade pro around 2.65K

Thank u for ur suggestion guys.
How many years do u think HD 7850 OC with the above config survive before i need an upgrade to play games in medium settings.

Can't say. 7850 can max out all recent games(battlefield 3, skyrim) at 1080p ultra settings with good frame rates.
Don't know that for how much more time, it will serve all games in full hd resolution. No one surely knows. Even the fastest graphic card right now would be counted in the weaker ones after a few years.
My silly prediction:
Seeing the condition right now, I think it would be able to run all games till Q2 2013 in 1080p with ultra settings, after that you might need to lower the settings. Then i'll overclock it.

P.S. - I recently bought it too, and i'm happy with it. :mrgreen:

Say No to Cooler Master PSUs. I was also recommended to buy a Huntkey or a Cooler Master PSU by the dealer to which I said no. I am going to order the Seasonic S12 520W .

Cooler Master Elite RC430 @ 2.9K

In my view the Config Suggested buy Cilus is good for the Price.

I5 2400 @ 11K
INTEL DH67CL @ 5.5K
GSKILL RIPJAWSX 4 GB @ 1.5K
WD 500 GB HDD @ 4K
DELL ST2220L @ 8.6K
CORSAIR GS600 @ 4.6K
CM ELITE 430 @ 3K
LOGITECH COMBO @ 0.6K
ASUS DVD ROM @ 1.1K
TOTAL @ 40K
HIS HD 7850 @ 15.3K
TOTAL @ 55.3K
The AMD Rig Can Save you some bucks.

Creative 2.1 @ 1k

Are there any known problems with cooler master ?
I was planning to buy
Cabinet: Cooler master 431 plus @ 3.4k
PSU: Cooler master 600W @3.75k
Is it a wise choice ?

Don't go for cooler master psu. Only Silent PRO
Hybrid & Silent PRO Gold series of CM are
good. Buy Seasonic
S12 520W from flipkart. Lancool cabinets have recently arrived on flipkart. Do take a look . CM 431 plus has cable management issues(rest all is fine AFAIK). You can also go for Bitfenix merc alpha @ 2.5k or NZXT Source elite @ 2.5k.

What are the advantages of Seasonic SS12II-620 over Seasonic SS12II-520 coz HD 7850 requires minimum of 500W ?
I knw that it's future proof......i wanted to know which components utilize that extra 100W in the future.

HD 7850 alone won't utilize 500 W of power. Those 500 W also include power consumed by HDD, ram, processor, etc.

If the PSU is rated 520 w it means that a maximum of 500W power can be drawn from it. It will draw only required power at a particular time. For example, total power consumption of your PC would be quite low when it is idle as compared to power consumption when it is at full load.

Adding a 620 w psu will only increase the room for upgrades. You can upgrade to a high power consumer component in future.

Almost every component is finalized guyz
Only few doubts about which Cabinet to buy for Gaming.
I have few options(Suggest if any other good ones are available)
Cooler Master 311 @1950
or
Cooler Master 311 plus
or
Cooler Master 431 @3100
or
Cooler Master 431 plus @ 3400
or
NZXT Source Elite 210 @ 2500

Which is the best Bang for Buck among these ?Also list any cons associated with it.
