Stick with this 250GB HDD for the time being as HDD prices have sky rocketed due to floods in Thailand and get a new 1TB one when the prices come down

I have posted this config only for the purpose of giving you the rough overview of Intel based rig at your budget. Better option is to go with AMD config:

AMD Phenom II X4 960T 3.3 GHz Thuban @ 6.5K
Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3 @ 4.8K
Gskill 4GB X 1 1600 MHz DDR3 Ram @ 1.6K
Corsair CX500 V2 or Tagan StoneRock TG-500 @ 3K
Asus Black 24X SATA DVD R/W @ 1K
Sapphire HD 6790 1GB GDDR5 256 bit @ 7.9K
NZXT Gamma Cabinet @ 2K
250 GB Seagate SATA @ 3K
Intex 1KVA UPS @1.9K

Total: 31.7K

(AMD based config was given by Clius in another thread)

laborare est orare
d6bmg, good suggestion. Just to clear a little about the 960T, here is the details:-

Phenom II X4 960T is not same as the other X4 processors like Phenom II X4 955 or 965. It is based on the Thuban architecture, same architecture powering the Phenom II X6 processors. So it supports Turbo core technology for dynamic CPU speed increase and better power and temp management. It is also a 95W TDP processor.
The best thing is it is just a 6 core Thuban with two cores disabled. With 99% success till date those two cores can be unlocked to make it a full fledged Thuban Phenom II X6 processor.
