I don't think its a good idea to use this machine as a Download machine. It consumes a lot more power than either a laptop (90W max) or a netbook/nettop(50W ?)

My PC eats up 600W on load. Similar config. I use it to DL when I am playing a game or surfing net. But never explicitly just for the DL to run.

After you fill in that ^^ questionnaire you will get better ideas.

PSU from corsair is lot better than PSUs from cooler master because of full load issues.

Please give me a suggestion to keep power levels down and how good is the mobo-performance wise...?

cilus brother i think gpu is not considered in this budget.

Will be buying a dGPU after 2 months so I will require an iGPU. So I'm planning to go for a Z68 board preferably ASUS P8Z68V-PRO with Intel i5 2500k.

Asus Maximus IV Z68 GENE-Z Motherboard @ 12.5K
Gskill Ripjaws 1600Mhz DDR3 4GB X 1 F3-12800CL9S-4GBRL @ 1.75
Cooler Master Hyper 212+ CPU Cooler @ 1.8K
Seagate 500 GB 7200.12 @ 1.8K
SeaSonic SS-750JS 750W 80 PLUS PSU @ 5.4K (from theitwares.com)
NZXT Gamma Cabinet @ 2K
LG 22X SATA DVD R/W @ 0.8K
APC 1.1 KVA UPS @ 4.3K

Total 41.15K

@Cilus: I appreciate your PC estimate, about the Asus Maximus IV Z68 GENE-Z, it does not have VGA, BT and is uATX. In what way is it better than P8Z68V-PRO overlooking the ROG feats..?
