You can forget about OCing with the i5 2400 .
yes that's precisely my hesitation! I'm just a student and don't earn yet, and i don't want to indulge in overclocking luxury [i5-2500k or 17-2600k] with my dad's money. [that's after i get a job!]
so, i'm left with Intel i5-2400 @10k [coupled with ASUS P8H67-V @7k]. But, Phenom II X6 1090T is available at 8.2k [coupled with ASUS M5A97 Evo @8k]!
That sums up to 17k approx. for both Intel and AMD build, moreover AMD lets me overclock it. But, i'm CONFUSED with overall performance!!

simple decision.
Go with AMD config.
1090T ~= i5 2400
price of 1090T is 7.8K @kolkata, not 8.2K

IMO get i5 2400/2500 + Intel DH67CL + MSI GTX 560Ti.
The only advantage I see in 1090T is that it has 2 more cores. AFAIK even the OC'ed 1090T will not match the performance of an i5 2400. For OC'ing the former you'll need an expensive motherboard, a decent after-market cooler, a cabinet with good airflow etc. For the i5 you can forget all these stuff and get killer performance at stock speeds.

Yes this would be good. Better for gaming and also would save you some money.

I would rather say always get a good board, you never know when you will be bitten by the upgrade bug.
not a chance! i may sli in future, and add sound card or ssd, that's it!
CONSIDERED!
Yesh! That is what stopping me from buying AMD! I'm inclined to take the Intel route!
this board supports virtu!
So, Intel i5-2400 it is i'm going for!
Any help with this, please buddies!

^^OP has decided to go for i5 2400. Then what's the point in going for an Z68 based board buddy? Isn't the DH67CL enough for his needs?
BTW isn't it TZ68K+ mate?

i'll upgrade only graphics card in future! And after i get a job, then i'll do a full upgrade. I hope that i5-2400 will suffice my needs for 4yrs, ain't it bro??
I found EDIFIER speakers on snapdeal.com!
PLEASE SUGGEST ME A 2.1 Speaker!

I ditched my overclocking plans.
I just want good stock performance now.

why are you ditching the plans to OC?
get something that has some potential for OCing..that's why i said not to go for 2400 or any locked multi sandybridge processor..
