Well, buying a new HD monitor will be a great upgrade for your 17 inch non HD model. Moreover, you can enjoy 1080p gaming and movies in their full glory on that Monitor.

The RIG suggested by RiGOD is very good, no need to change anything. But if by chance, low on budget, you can also settle for the Corsair cx430v2 instead of the Seasonic S12II 520W. The later one is obviously better, but only if you could use that much power :)

So, should get a cpu cooler instead of getting the one that has been suggested by RIGOD...

also for the cabinet i found the "Zebronic BIjli-2 a pretty good buy.

any thoughts...

Bijli-2 was a big fail. I remember someone did a review on it at TDF about this cabinet, and the conclusion was a disastor. Just, stay away from it.

For a cheap and good cabinet, check Bit Fenix Merc Alpha, or any Cooler Master budget cabinets like 311, 311 Plus, 431, whatever you like.

Bijli-2 was a big fail. Avoid it.
Buy CM Elite 311 or NZXT Source 210 or NZXT Gamma or Bit Fenix Merc Alpha etc etc. There are many better choices.
About monitor, your present non-HD 17" monitor will run just fine for your purpose. :)

At Nehru Place you should get all of those suggested products. In case you don't get that Seasonic PSU, buy:
Corsair GS600 @4.1K (You need to spend 400/- more than that of Seasonic one)

And, avoid all CoolerMaster Extreme Series PSUs.

Asus M5A97, Gigabyte GM-970A-UD3 (will be costlier, and best of the lot), Gigabyte GA880A-USB3 (is a lower model than M5A97, and will support only mild overclocking and lesser features)
