i will play games @1440*900 and will upgrade the monitor in a time span of 10-12 months
So do i require a GPU like 6850 will the 5570 suffice

sandy bridge config will shoot your budget up by 6-7k, if gaming is a priority id stick with AMD and get the 6850(overkill for present monitor? yes but is a future proof option)

I would suggest buying sandybridge now and adding a gpu later by saving up. System will be more future proof than any current amd system. If you are not into serious gaming immediately, sandybridge is the way to go but buy it after b3 revision boards arrive.

Whether 6xxx series prices are above Rs.10k? I need a graphics card which is below 10k and 256bit(my friend said to me that higher the bits better the performance) with which I can play almost all games like crysis,World at war, Left 4 dead etc at least in medium setting. And if possible "futureproof". In a nutshell value for money. Can anyone suggest me a GPU which fits the bill ?

I'll be using amd athlonII x4 640 processor

^^ Higher bit doesn't indicate higher performance. Same can be said for video memory. The gpu architecture matters the most including the frontend and backend.

Amd radeon 6850 is the best card for you. Check the asus direct-cu variant of 6850. Comes with a great cooler than reference and is highly overclockable.

I need the cheapest motherboard supporting SLI
Intel Asus or Gigabyte

Intel i5 2500K @10K
Corsair 4 GB Ram @2.2K
WD Caviar Green @1.8K
CM Elite 430 @2K
FSP SAGA 500 @ 2K
Will Currently buy a 9500 or 9600 GT 512MB GDDR3 and later upgrade to a better one and use this as PHYSX 3K
Total 21K
Any MB under 10K is required

all boards with 2x PCI E slots can support psysx btw you earlier mentioned you wanted to use 9500GT as physx card but i think you need a physx card of a minimum performance level for physx to work effectively
