1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans:Mostly for multimedia(720p videos and some HD movies) and casual gaming like GTA Vice City:p. He isn't a serious gamer but want to play need to play newer games at low or medium settings. So want to get as much as possible.

Thanks for the reply.
My friend said his budget is 22-23k, i extended it to 25k. So can't go beyond that.
I'm thinking of ASUS P8H61-M LX R2.0 (3k). Isn't it good?
Also any cheaper alternatives for monitor around 5k?
