1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: Gaming, Image editing, and general use

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 36k max, can go +500

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans:NO

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans:Windows 7, already bought

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: I have a HDD

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: I have one of 1366x768

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Monitor, speakers, K&M, Cabinet, HDD, DvD drive

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Somewhere between last week of April to second week of May

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Yes, I have, and will assemble by myself

10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: Kolkata, open to buy online, but only through cash on delivery.

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:The GPU has to be nVIDIA, preferrably gtx 660. I need the CUDA for certain applications.
Also, if possible, I'd like a i5, with 8gb of ram.

P.S. please don't delete this thread if I posted too early.

Any graphic card is an overkill at the resolution of 1366x768. You should seriously upgrade your monitor.

Option 1:

i3 3220 (7000)
Gigabyte B75MDH3 (4000)
Corsair vengance of G.Skill Ripjawsx 1600 MHz 4 GB (2000)
Corsair CX430V2 (2600)
Asus GTX 650ti (10000)
Dell st2240L (8500)

total: ~34000

option 2: If you want the processing power of your GPU to go in vain, then get this:

FX 8350 (11000)
Asus m5A97 (6700)
Corsair vengance of G.Skill Ripjawsx 1600 MHz 4 GB (2000)
Corsair CX430V2 (2600)
Asus GTX660 (16000)

total: ~37000

Be informed that GTX 660 is NOT the best card in it's price range. HD 7850 is available for the same price and is much faster than gtx 660. Besides, I read somewhere that AMD is working on a library to enable CUDA on ATI cards. I'll post the link when I reach home.

I know OP has a monitor. I mentioned the reason of each config above them. Let me quote them

. HD 7850 is available for the same price and is much faster than gtx 660.

you mean to say hd 7870 is faster than 660.as gtx 660 is faster than hd 7850

Intel i5 3550 - rs 12500
Gigabyte b75 d3h - rs 4100
Corsair vengance 4gb x 2 ram - rs 3800
Corsair cxv2 430w - rs 2600
Saphhire hd 7850 1gb - rs 12500 or 2gb -13500 (if going to get new monitor)

TOTAL- rs 35,500

Monitor can be upgraded anytime.

Intel i5 3470 -10.7k
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H - 4k
G.Skill RipjawsX 1600MHz CL9 4GB*2 -3.8k
Corsair cx430v2 -2.6k
Zotax gtx660 -15.5k

Gtx660 performs significantly better than hd7850,but it is priced too close to hd7870 which is available for around 16.4k.
If you can spend a bit more and can do away with CUDA then get an hd7870 and preferably a better PSU.HD7870 in general has better compute performance in many applications.

Since you still have around more than a month to make purchase,prices of some products might change,thus can lead to modification in suggested configs.

Ok, so this is what I've come up with so far.

INTEL PROCESSOR CORE i5 3450 3RD GEN -11180
GIGABYTE MOTHERBOARD GA-H61M-DS2 -2912 or MSI MOTHERBOARD H61M-P20 G3 - 2600
CORSAIR RAM VALUE 8GB DDR3 1333FSB -3380
CORSAIR SMPS CX 430 V2 -2548
ASUS GRAPHICS CARD GTX 660 2GB DDR5 -16120 or ZOTAC GRAPHICS CARD GTX 660 2GB DDR5 -15704 (if it comes back in stock)

What do you guys think? Are the components good?
Anyone faced any problem with any of these?
One problem is, our VAT is due to increase, and that'll push the prices out of my budget. So... any suggestions on how to reduce the cost a little bit more?

Get Gigabyte B75M DH3 instead of h61 mobo. Or, if you don't prefer Gigabyte, then get any other B75 chipset mobo.
