Thank you all contributors. Your posts were very enlightening and informative. I really appreciate your efforts to explain in detail.

I have this rig in mind based on all above contributors suggestion. Please let me know if it's compatible or not.

CPU - AMD Phenom II 960T - 6960
Motherboard - Asus M5A97 - 6200
RAM - 2 x G.Skill Value DDR3 4 GB - 2300
GPU - Sparkle GeForce GT 520 - 2646
Case - NZXT Gamma/Bijli ? - 2300/1200
PSU - FSP Saga II 500/Corsair CX 430 V2 ? - 2300
Monitor - AOC 27" LED - 17000
KB + Mouse - Logitech MK200 - 700
TOTAL - 40406/39306

Sorry, I don't know how to create table here:p

How is it? I have doubts about PSU and Case so dunno which one to opt. I can go over 40k if only a matter of few hundred bucks to get a better rig ;)

Also please suggest me where to get the components, links to the best price online shops would be really helpful :)

Edit : I have Asus NVidia 7300 GS PCIEx graphics card from my previous PC which I sold 1 year ago. I'm wondering if it could be useful or I throw it away?

I use an amd fx4100. Is something wrong with the processor? Is it good? It's all fine for me! I got the processor, with m5a97 for 12k dot.

It is a very good kit. Can run at 8-8-8-24 2T @1600MHz with the fan set. (won't be stable for too long though)

But, that fun deal is over. So, ignore my previous post.

Bijli is good at Rs. 1.5k price point - also look for CM Elite 350 at the same price point.

Gamma is ~2.2-2.5k and has great ventilation/air flow system - so pick one which you think best.

for th PSu get Corsair CX430v2

it depends on your usage type ... if you feel like FX4100 is doing well in all of your apps/games then don't think too much about this ;-)

Thank you very much RiGOD :)

I think RAM is too costly. I would prefer with old RAM config -
RAM - 2 x G.Skill Value DDR3 4 GB

Do all above website links contain shipping charges included? Or they are charged separately?

^^Everything except the case is free shipping. The shipping cost of the case would be around 600.

SMC is selling most of the components in cheaper price. And avoid Sparkle Gfx card, they are of very bad quality. Spend couple of bucks more and get the Zotac GT 240 1 GB GDDR5 Flipkart: Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GT240 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card: Graphics Card @ 3.3K. It performs better than gt 520.

Thank you Cilus. I'm not sure if it's worth to shell out 700 bucks more for graphics card, esp. if I don't need it for gaming. Or do you mean GT 520 is faulty piece of hardware? I know ddr5 is the winner but if I don't do gaming, is it worth to still opt for GT 240 (DX 10.1) which is basically older tech than GT 520 (DX 11)?

GT240 is a more future proof solution but if you won't play games then get GT520 / HD6450 ( get the cheapest one ) - both are good for HD movie watching ;-)

Actually GT 520 is very weak card and priced almost at 3K. This card will face problem to run games at 1080P resolution, sometimes even with the lower details. That's why I've suggested GT 240 for casual gaming. Price will be only 300-500 bucks extra compared to the standard price of GT 520.

Hey guys, I'm now into ordering the above rig. Thanks all for your contributions.

How about getting this processor Flipkart: AMD 3 GHz AM3 Phenom II 1075T Processor: Processor instead of Phenom II 960T? I can spend extra 400-500 bucks if that processor works much better for my purpose? Please help me take final decision.

Sorry for making haste, someone please suggest me if 1075T is better to go for or 960T is good enough (I'm worried if I can unlock 2 extra cores as it involves good bit of luck in it ;) )

How is this power supply instead of Corsair CX 430 V2? It costs 300 bucks more but is it worth the extra cost?
