1. What is the purpose of the computer? (Note: If you are planning to say multimedia, you will have to be more specific as all types of systems are capable of doing that)
A: 1. Gaming,HD Movies , VS 2010 , SQL Server, moderate PS work

2. Are you open to alternate ideas/products giving similar better performance but offering more VFM/ sellers? If not- why?

4. Planning to overclock?
A: No time to overclock.

5. Which OS are you planning to use?
A: Windows 7 64 bit.

6. How much hard drive space is needed?
A: 500GB or 500 GB x 2 if possible in 40K budget I already have 500 GB USB HDD for back-up

7. What resolution will the screen run at & whats the size of the screen you want? If you already want have one and want to use it, mention its resolution and size.
A: 22-24 Inch FULL HD (24' Inch LED if possible) ready to spend more on it cauz this is an investment and can be used with future config too.

8. How would you rate your hardware knowledge from the count of 1-10? (1 being the lowest, 5 being you are somewhat in sync with the current performers and 10 being the highest)
A: 7/10

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?

A: Speakers,UPS,Spike Guard,Keyboard,Mouse.

13. Which city do you live in and are you open to buying from shops from other city/states?
A: Mumbai

14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary
A:
1. Gaming and FULL HD Movies
2. Strong Build quality of cabinet with better cable management and proper air flow (120 mm+ fans with less noise) + good PSU (again with big fan and less noise) Dont need any fancy fans with LED lights and all..Acc to me it sucks esp when you play games at night or watch movies at night. :)
3. Will buy gfx card later so suggest PSU accordingly.
4. Make sure that MOBO fits in cabinet without blocking any other components. A frnd of mine had issues cauz of m-atx mobo and small cabinet while installing external sound card. Finally he gave-up.

Nopes Jaskanwar Singh..

Intel DP67BG will require external GFX..right ? as said, i will buy gfx card after 1-2 months cauz by that time i will have 10-15k in hand from google.

again ,Benq G2220HD is not LED.

I guess LED has much better picture quality than LCD...correct me if i am wrong.

yes man....dont want to make any mistake this time. I hated my old PC sound so much that i got a DELL Lappy the very next day when my desktop went kaput.

And i am not compromising on Display and Cabinet as same can be used in upgrade if required in future. Its an investment. :)

Used Jas's PSU suggestion.

Jas does he need to buy 8400GS if he gets GPU in 2 months??? He can get the H67CL board and not worry about gfx now...

@ALL : Request you not to consider Graphic Card now. i am anyways buys a REAL GOOD card after max 2 months.

How much approx cooling and SOUND difference i can see using CM 690 II vs nzxt gamma costing 2K ?
I will spend the difference in getting better monitor than suggested above if possible.

IMO nothing big, other than cable management....
For cooling, u can add fans ...

After 3+ years, you get a MOBO H67 or P67 that is faulty-design or repaired, so wait another 6 to 8month you will get MOBO - Z68 for current processor Sandybridge.
