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:Graphic designing. Photo processing. Must run Adobe applications smoothly. Occasionally watch movies. Must be future proof for atleast 3 years.

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 2 TB

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: Yes. I have the Dell S2240L in mind. Anything better than that?

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: DVD drive and hopefully PSU Corsair vx450

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Soon

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Assembler

For making it future proof, you can get Zotac GTX 960 for 17k instead of 750 Ti, but then you may need to upgrade the PSU to Seasonic SII 520W or Antec VP550P.

isnt the ZOTAC GTX 750 Ti an overkill for my requirement? basic photo and video editing.

a lesser GFX card can get me to afford 8GB of RAM.

what say?

Go with this config :

Intel Core i5 4440 -11000,
Gigabyte B85M-D3H -5600,
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB 1600Mhz -5500,
WD Caviar Green 2TB -5600,

Corsair CX500 -3600,
AOC i2276VWM 21.5 inch LED IPS -9000,
Logitech MK260R -1500.
TOTAL -53,000.

750Ti is not overkill for your purpose rather it suits you perfectly. Go with it.

All three previously suggested PSU's are enough Don't go with wattage rating alone.
AOC has VFM displays and are good enough for your budget.

Congrats.

H81 socket motherboard and 2x8GB RAM modules means you cannot upgrade RAM in future unless you change the motherboard.

Also, Why GT 610? you cannot play new titles at 1080p even at lowest settings.

i wont be upgrading that often. next time.. probably the entire setup ill change.
GT610, am not a gamer. last time i played games was ages ago. i needed a good graphics card to support video editing.
