When sandybridge configurations will be affordable? Is AMD upto some worthy competition? By the way, I have a budget of 30K for whole system.Will it ever fit that budget.

Although Sandybridge i3 can be managed in 30k budget , it is more advisable to go for AMD to have a more balanced config , i.e. better GPU PSU etc.

Can you fill this up please :) ?

Legend Never Ends
The biggest problem is that by the time Sandy Bridge will be affordable, Intel will come up with Ivy Bridge.

@Techfreak: Even though Sandybridge LGA1155 is faster & efficient than LGA1366, still X58 Mobo's & LGA 1366 Processors are dawm costly than sandybridge.

@OP: During End of life of Sandybridge, you will find them cheaper..

Regarding the config, fill the template..
