whitestar_999 If you are eager to BAN me do so quickly please(No Offence though)... Some of your prices are a little overpriced... like Processor, RAM, Cabinet.OK. The local prices should be quoted I think...

Regarding the requirement of the OP he is using Adobe Dreamweaver , Eclipse for android app developing , Photoshop which definitely uses GPU for their processing.So suggested a GPU in the Config.

+1 I agree with you.Graphics will be good addon.

I would rather sugget get a Quadro or FirePro depending upon software recommendations.
A cheap 290x will also do as AMD's cards go hand in hand with these softwares.

Quadro/Firepro is No.1 priority though.

I am unable to render on my Y510p and some time rendering takes 32 hours.

Get a 1080p monitor atleast.
Not less than that because you simply cannot render on less than that.

Thanks for the suggestion mate.
Changed the table according to the suggestion.

PS: A 290x is not that much power efficient so Quadro is the way to go...

[MENTION=105611]bssunilreddy[/MENTION],i will ban you when forum rules & situation demand it not because i wish it.We are here to advise as per op's requirement not as per our requirement.if op is using photoshop,dreamweaver etc but still doesn't feel the need to ask for a graphics card now then it is not our job to make him realize the importance of something which he hasn't even asked for in the first place.How do you know it is worth spending 17k on graphics card for @op?do you know what kind of work @op does?do you know how many hours/minutes/seconds @op can save every day if he uses a 17k graphics card instead of i5/i7 to do the job?

[MENTION=266361]kunalgujarathi[/MENTION],if it is taking you 32 hours to render something then you need advice from pros on adobe/similar forums & furthermore the kind of work/render you are doing is most likely not found in the work profile of an average user of such softwares/techniques.

Workstation GPU's other than K620 is way out of OP's budget and so I suggested a Gaming GPU which has more CUDA Cores so that he render his works more thoroughly. Correct me if I am wrong...

Hey buddy chill!
You are interpreting wrongly. I mostly use BIM softwares such as Revit and Photoshop(for creating models).
What I wish to say is that Photoshop doesn't fully supports the hardware accleration from my 755m

So OP wanting to build a desktop for Photoshop and if he's rendering in it;hardware accleration is a must.

A Quadro/Firepro Graphics will insanely speed up his workflow.

Intel graphics will simply bottleneck.I mean in complex editiing environment he may experience crashes.

That's my 2 cents.

Ok fine.

If you do feel the need of advanced rendering get graphics later.

With whitestars build I would just suggest to bump up RAM to 16 GB
You can get good deals on Snapdeal/Primeabgb as he would be opening 100s of tab on chrome so 8GB would be insufficient plus you would be mustitasking.

Xeons will indeed help in faster processing.

Just get a good monitor.
I am not a professional in this but plenty of good reviews of this monitor-
Though it's gaming but the quality of 1080p panel is extraordinary.

*www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/B00CFFFGUM/r...ds=benq+rl&dpPl=1&dpID=41y0SuPdDvL&ref=plSrch

Unboxtherapy has quite good reviews for it.

ram--Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB 1866MHz*2(total 16gb)--7000
already suggested 16gb ram though it also depends on type of usage(addons,script blocking etc).it is practically impossible to keep track of 100+ tabs so no point to keep loaded all of them(at least firefox/palemoon don't automatically reload all tabs on startup).speaking from experience(i currently have ~1900 tabs with 3.5gb total system ram) i suggest @op not to open more than 100 tabs if he cares for productivity.

P.S.that benq monitor has TN panel which has inferior colour reproduction compared to ips panels.

Thanks for the valuable suggestions

Still I cant get a final picture .
my last decisions are

1. Now Assemble the PC with out a graphics card ,( I can relay on integrated Graphics) and in future get a good graphics card , so select a capable motherboard
2. Go for an i7 processor .
3. I need a ATX mother board ( I heard micro ATX cant have extra slots)

so again requesting another config with considering above facts .

2) Yes added i7 Processor(non-k) into the table above,
3) I already suggested an ATX Motherboard...

Also SSD has been added as a Boot Disk.

samsung 850 120gb is better.elite 311 is not a good choice for such a config.same with cooler master smps.Tirupati enterprises(official distributor of seasonic in India) has a branch office in kochi.
