Hey arnab wb to TDF, put your budget for everything, questionnaire as ganesh suggested is a good way to start, it will give you as well some idea.
Intel or AMD is more on your choice but based on budget and apps you wanna run

To your last question:
ssd is solid state drive
It is expensive than HDD and it performance is higher over HDD.

Seasonic SS-750JS 750W 80+ PSU @ 5.65K
APC 1.1KVA Black @ 4.7K

I think you will not need UPS.
larger monitor i.e.more than 22 inch is good, but buying them, hmmm, what we get are 23 inch and 24 inch, do not think that is much of an addition until and unless you are thinking of IPS panels.
and games in TV is also not a bad idea, I suppose 32" is a TV

2TB HDDs available

APC 1.1 KVA UPS is 5.5 and not 4.7K

now how is this config....? i dont want to disgrace intel but i5 l cache memory is lower than fx8120 and the cores r also less ... more the i5 is too overprised i think..??

nope not intel fanboy, but rather do not know much about AMDs, I havent checked the CPU ratings for AMD proccy's, and know less about chipsets offered.If I would have read more on it I could have suggested.
You will find vkl and other members like cilus to have better comments than me on this.

switch 970 chipset board to 990X chipset board
Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 Motherboard | Motherboard | Flipkart.com
checkout the comparison of boards Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 Motherboard vs ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX Motherboard vs ASUS CROSSHAIR V Formula Motherboard vs MSI 990FX-GD65 Motherboard: Compare Motherboards: Flipkart.com

still AMD chipset boards when I see, give more VFM than intel boards as usual

AMD Alternative........


Core Components:
AMD FX-8150 - Rs 12500
Asrock 990FX Extreme3 - Rs 8550
Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7870 HDMI OC Edition 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card Rs 20,500
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 4 GB - Rs 1550


Total - Rs 43150.

Keep the CM 690,it is a great case and you dont need to waste money unnecessarily.

yaa agreed cm690 really vfm and build quality and cooling is grt...in this budget...

now guys 1 of my frnd who is also a gme freak like us suggested me...not to upgrde the cpu and mobo...just hdd and gpu with ssd and ram...with a good gaming keyboard & mouse...??

rest of money to buy a xbox or ps3...how logical will b this one...changing cpu & mobo with &corsair vengence 16 gb will set me bck @ 21k..

will my current rig support the gpu and ssd which i am planning too get...secondly will my system performence increase if the os is installed in ssd 60 gb...

help me guys i want my moolah to spend wisely...!!!

What is your current cpu and mobo ?

ssd reduces os boot time and game loading times. Gameplay fps might increase somewhat if the game accesses the hdd too many( doesnt happen often).
IMO, the ssd is not worth it at the price at which it is being offered. Rather invest in a good gpu.

cpu n mobo is in my sig...i thnk they can very much handle any current high end gpu....but as u say tht ssd id damm expnsve..i agree too but isnt it would increase the system performence overall as the os will b instaled in it...??

my questns abv no reply till yet...quick guys will b going on wednesday to get the stuffs....???

yes it will, your board will have

  1. 4 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 16 GB of system memory (Note 1)
  2. Dual channel memory architecture
  3. Support for DDR3 1800 (OC)/1666/1333/1066 MHz memory modules (Note 2)

and
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCIEX16)

from proccy specs

Support for unregistered DIMMs up to PC2 8500(DDR2-1066MHz) and PC3 10600 (DDR3-1333MHz)
max amount of RAM support by the proccy unknown. You see AMD is very stupid in never mentioning this in their specs any time of any of their proccy

you can easily get one good card because PCIE 2.0 is supported by cards which are even PCIE 3.0
get HD7850 in around 15K,
You can buy RAM 4x4 - and you are thinking right about it.
Putting down the options
G.Skill NT DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (F3-10600CL9S-4GBNT) | Ram | Flipkart.com
Corsair DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMV4GX3M1A1333C9) | Ram | Flipkart.com
G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (F3-12800CL9S-4GBXL) | Ram | Flipkart.com
need not be worried by using higher frequency RAM as it will work under clocked
G.Skill Sniper DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (F3-12800CL9S-4GBSR) | Ram | Flipkart.com
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9) | Ram | Flipkart.com

Its better to buy a set, than individual as they are better tested working together. buying single chip costs relatively less.
You can check more on RAM @Flipkart

was thinking to suggest buying a new board based on AM3/AM3+ which will provide SATA3 ports.

and finally SSD or SATA3 drives

The current rig is good enough, just add a GPU to it. Gaming wont be an issue then.
955BE should not bottleneck the current gpus and good enough for new games, IMO.
