Click to expand...

change cpu--Phenom 2 940--13k
motherboard--biostar 790gx--5k
transcend 2gb x 2 ddr2 800--2.4K
Graphics card--palit HD4850--9k

Go for the cooler master PSU...the rig should cost a little less than the one you chose and will be much much faster.

Broken In
1. I 2nd Amitash's config, if CPU is not for pure gaming then a buying a quad will be a good decision.

2. though 790gx mobo will be ok for older games, but if you are buying a HD 4850 ( or any descrete gfx card) then buy crosair vx450(more furure proof, good to have some room left for overclocking+adding more stuffs later) or else buy crosair cx 400.

3. if you play (older games+any online fps) then even 9600gt~5.5k or hd 4830 ~ 7-8k will be enough

4. for cabby if you can afford then cm690 OR nzxt alpha ~ 3k, if more cheaper then zebby bijili @ 1k (good for money)

@sravan
the config given by comp@ddict is pretty gud, but u don't need an e7300 for ur requirements - even a e5200 (@ abt 3-3.5k) will do.
then again u don't need such an expensive mobo for ur needs - u can buy a gigabyte EG31M-S2L (@ abt 2.5k)
nd u also can go for a less expensive graphics card - palit nvidia geforce 9400gt 512mb (@ abt 3k). this gpu will be more than enuf for light gaming nd will even play the latest games, albeit at low to moderate settings.
