Gigabyte Ma785gmt-us2h @ 5200

Cabinet :- wait for others reply (dunno about it)

U will need a good cabinet wih very best cooling system ..dunno know about that so wait for others suggestion.. Me don't have much Idea so wait for other suggestion before buying....but remember few things 40-45k is enuf for learning purpose and making show reel.. but for commercial purpose it is nothing.. buy Graphic card of nvidia only as it's cuda an physics will help u out .. soon rendering will be card based so .u will have a advantage..

I have used max on c2d 1.8 ghz , gts 250 , 2gb ram.. for learning and showl reel it is good ..I believe..well bought new system 3-4 days ago.

and recheck ur ups after all this upgrade can it give enough backup

i will suggest you to go for this as this is a great processor for your job.

(plzz suggest me other GP if this is not compatible with motherboard)
every PCIe graphic card is compatible with every motherboard having a PCIe slot.


AMD Phenom II X6 1055T @ 9.4k
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H @ 4.5k OR MSI 880GMA-E45 @ 5.5k
Seagate/WD 500GB Hard disk @ 1.9k
2*2GB DDR3 1333Mhz Kingston RAM @ 4.6k
Corsair VX450 PSU @ 3.7k (only this)
Cooler Master Elite 430 cabinet @ 2.5k or NZXT Gamma @ 2k
Zotac GTS 450 1GB @ 7.5k
LG DVD Writer @ 1k
BenQ G2220HD @ 7.5k
Logitech keyboard + mouse combo @ 0.5k

Total = 45k.

Rather than going for the AOC 22" full HD, you can also go for BenqG2220HD. It is also a full HD monitor and priced more than 1k less than the AOC one. I personally own it and it is a very good one.
The price of it in Kolkata is 7.3k + 4% tax

^ important thing...avoid Coolermaster PSUs which most shopkeepers will try to sell. only go for Corsair vx450 as it is the best!

change the graphics to msi gts450 cyclone @ 7.8k
corsair cx400w @ 2.7k is sufficient. vx450 is not needed for that config!
avoid that msi mobo. this will allow you to spend some more on another 2gb ram stick @ 2.3k. 6gb will be nice for your work.
avoid seagate. get WD only.
