This is what I have thought of buying, hopefully it will be under 20k

Intel G620 processor
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H, comes with USB 3 and SATA 6gbps
saphhire 6770 1gb ddr5
Corsair 1333 4GB Ram
Logitech k220 wireless kb+mouse

Please suggest PSU and a not too big cabinet .

Will the processor be underpowered for the HD 6770 graphics card ?

Thanks ! :)

I think more or less ill stick with this config.

Will go for a g850 instead of g620 if its available and the price difference is not much.

Only worried about the cabinet size. will have to check it out physically.
