^^ Get 5670. Don't get 5570 just to save up 700 bucks.

4GB is enuff for now and you can add up more,
1. If you feel the application needs more memory
2. If you feel you have enough money to throw at ground

thnx @furious_gamer and @piyush for your suggestions.
As my budget is only 30k, I am not adding a GPU right now, I will add a GPU after 3-4 months. I need more RAM because I will be doing a lot of virtualization using Hyper-V.

I have not seen any reviews of Dell 20" LED IN 2020, what u guy's suggest.

Guys please give me your views, I am planning to get the components by today evening.

AFAIK The DELL Monitor's picture quality is far superior than the BenQ one and especially that matters while doing multimedia works.

I have read many reviews and discussions and everywhere the DELL has been given more points regarding display quality and its effect in multimedia works

@Trek I don't need a UPS for now

What do you guy's say Corsair XMS3 4GB 1600C9 or G Skill ripjaw 1600, which is VFM.

regarding the display, I am going with Dell IN 2020.

also I am not sure if 1600 MHz memory is supported by GA-880GMA-UD2H or not, Gigabyte's site say that "Support for DDR3 2000(OC)/1333/1066 MHz memory modules". There is no mention of 1600 Mhz, plese throw some light on this.
