Thanks MegaMind for sharing your experience with HS18.
I'm bit confused to get sandy bridge now or wait for ivy bridge/price down. I will wait for few days & see what to do.
You get a massive performance boost either way.

Get my desktop rig. But with some changes
CPU: i5 2500K
GPU: Nvidia 560 ti (try to get gtx 570 if you have remaining money)
Ram: 2x4GB Corsair vengeance 1600mhz
PSU: Corsair TX650V2
MB: Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 v1.3 (Don't know if this is available in India, This is best all rounder and cheap | v1.3 supports ivy bridge and PCIE-3.0)
CPU cooler: CM 212 EVO ( not the 212 plus(+), this is a revised version of 212 plus)
Monitor: Buy a LED LCD display, not the ordinary TFT LCD.
P.S.. Currently am not in India to know the prices. But this will be in your budget. I have written only the basic ones, because other components depend on your taste, style and remaining amount. These basic specs can keep you solid for years to come, like you had the pentium 4 system

Evo deal is good but motherboard is not worth the price. I can get Asus Z68 V-Pro in that price.
PCIE 3.0 wont be necessary until Maxwell.

Oh yea, just checked the price when I buyed, its nearly 118 pounds that's roughly around 8.5k rupees.
Ivy bridge has support for PCIE 3.0. So just need to change process and GPU, if and only if upgrading.
No need to change GPU :shrug:

Seconded. No point of buying UD4 at ~12.5K Z68 V/V-PRO beats it anyway.

I've decided now i will upgrade in parts. First I will upgrade CPU Cooler as my Pentium 4 Lga 775 Prescot 90NM is getting too hot. Then Case, Monitor, etc. I will upgrade first that component there will be not any new thing coming. I will be waiting For Ivy Bridge & AMD 7000 Series.
First Upgrade CPU Cooler (Socket LGA 775): Do you know any good cpu cooler that support lga 775 + lga 1155 ? I'm leaning towards this:
*www.amazon.com/Thermalright-True-Spirit-120/dp/B005MSOH7C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321938986&sr=8-1
