@ ArjunKiller - Dude you wont get all the stuff from Bhubaneswar!!I know this 'cause as I'm from BBSR!!! You have to order online some stuff like RAM,PSU,GPU & might be even the CPU!!

 

[Cilus]

There is a chance that you'll get the CPU and mobo, even the keybaod and mosue from BBSR. Check Gadget World in Saheed Nagar. It is near the Meghdoot Hotel. FSP SAGA is not available, instead get Corsair CX400 @ 2.3K.

 

[ssb1551]

^^Will he get the RAM as well?..getting GSkill from here would be too much to wish for, don't you think so??

 

[ArjunKiller]

Guys, I was thinking of the Corsair RAM and an HD 5770 with The Athlon 2 X4 640..what do you think..will those fit my budget?

 

[Cilus]

Yes, it also good and price can be reduced a little further. Contact Aditya Infotech in BBSR for the Corsair rams. They keeps high end models too. You can get a single 4 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz ram within 2.5K

Yes, aditya infotech are also the distributors of FSP and Sapphire along with Corsair.
So, you can easily order Corsair RAMs and PSUs, Sapphire GPUs and FSP PSUs from them.
But finding FSP SAGAII 500W might be an issue, coz they gave me mine after 2months as SAGAII 500W is Out of Stock in Indian market. So, ask them and order ASAP if available. You can easily get Corsair RAMs and PSUs, Sapphire GPUs and Other FSP PSU models from them easily though.
