At a budget below 30K, it is very hard to get a well balanced Intel Sandy Bridge based rig. I think here AMD will provide you a better optimized rig. You can check the Toms Hardware Best Gaming CPU For money, May, 2011 and will find out that they also recommended an AMD CPU in Sub $100 category.

My suggestion is

AMD Athlon II X4 635 @ 4K
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H @ 4K
Corsair 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 @ 2.1K
Seagate 1 TB SATA 7200.12 @ 2.7K
Sapphire HD 6870 @ 11.2K
LG 22X SATA DVD Writer @ 0.9K
FSP SAGA II 500W @ 2K
NZXT GAMa @ 2K


Total 28.9K. Since you will be buying from Kolkata, the street price of most of the components are on the lower side. For the HD 6870 GPU, you can try M.D. computers and ask them to give it @ 11K. Our forum member Cool Comp has purchased it from there. For AMD based mobo and CPU, try Vedant as they offer cheaper price than others for AMD components.

This is a better config than the Core i3 2100 as (2100 + HD 6850) <<( Athlon II 635 + HD 6870) in gaming.

^^ Get the phenom II x4 840 @ 4.8k instead. It has faster clocks and performs better than the x4 635. Besides it has better brag and resale value considering the phenom title.

But architecturally, its no different than athlon 2 x4.

@sundar07, get Corsair CX400W instead. no to Corsair CX430W. low efficiency & always avoid Cooler Master PSU.

for motherboard look for Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-US2H/UD2H else check some Asus motherboard based on 880G chipset.
