Please read the Thread *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-components-configurations/149943-pc-build-questionnaire-template.html and post it after filling up the questions present there.

Intel Dual Core e5700 should be avoided at all cost. The AMD one is not recommended. If you can't find in local shops, you can always look for Online shopping.

Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P (rev. 3.1) @ 2.8K
Corsair 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 @ 1.2K
Seagate 250 GB SATA HDD @ 3.4K
LG 22X DVD R/W @ 0.9K
Zebronics bijli Cabinet w/o PSU @ 1.1K
FSP SAGA II 500W PSU @ 2.4K
Acer P206HQ 20" Display (1600X900) @ 5.2K
Logitech MK100 Keyboard and Mouse Combo @ 0.5K
Zebronics 600VA UPS @ 1.2K
Sapphire HD 5670 512 MB GDDR5 version @ 4.2K

Total 27.7K.

The most convenient way for Online shoping is using Flipkart as currently they are keeping a lots of computer components.
Computer Components: Graphics Card, TV Tuner Cards Hardware: Intel, AMD, XFX : Flipkart.com

Other sites are

smcinternational.in
theitwares.com
deltapage.com
mdcomputers.in

Before puirchasing mail them asking about all the require components, price and availability. Once response received you may proceed further. All of them are very good and most of the forum members have experience with them. I'm also included. Also you can buy different components from different shops to minimize the cost.

@$$Lionking$$,availability of AMD Athlon II X3 450 is an issue.also 2*2 gb is not recommended because it poses problems in future if some one wants to upgrade memory from 4gb.

 

[$$Lionking$$]

whitestar - X3 450 is available.

@2x2GB - Unless you have a typical usage - 8 GB of ram for gaming/surfing/movies seems insane. @Upgrade - if the OP upgrades 2 or more years from now - it will not be the ram!!!

dont worry!!! 2x2GB is the right way to go!! and anyways you can sell 1 stick and buy a higher capacity stick...!!

But Lionking, the motherboard has only two slots and buying two 2GB module will simply stop him from any kind of memory upgrading without selling one of the existing modules. 2ndly there are couple of tasks like working with the RAW images from SLR and applying multiple filters on it, which needs a little extra memory. I'm talking from my experience. Also in 3Ds MAX while viewing some 3D models by applying some complex filters, the extra memory will always help.

Another thing is 4GB memory modules are dirt cheap now a days. So OP can add another 4GB module within couple of months to get the advantage of dual channel mode. So better to go with the current standard size of memory module, will keep open the future upgrade path and better compatibility as well as save one memory module.
