Coz, no one here will ever ask to you get funky stuffs by sacrificing performance.

BMG ftw!!
@OP: beside d3's suggestion, you may modify processor with i5-2400 @9.6K

And for your USP 100 query, the simple answer is: when we make any rig, we think about such cabinets which will last next 10 years quite easily. And no other cabinet can beat NZXT Gamma on the durability & build quality field.

if you mean to say elite 430 has bad build quality compared to gamma. then you are wrong unless you tested them side by side.

try to get a NZXT Source 210 Elite for 2.9k. best under 3k cabinet IMO.

elite 430 is also good but cable management can be a problem with new users.

CFC_TrueBlue, please specify the resolution of your TV. Is it a full HD (1920X1080 or 1080P) one or HD ready (1366X768)?

The Op's requirements are
Quality movie experience, Basic Gaming nd Little bit of programming(Dataware housing)

For this I guess, we need to provide him a good quality speaker at least and a good sound card if possible. The kind of task he has asked for
1. Movie: Any quad core processor will do more than fine.
2. Light gaming: Any good quad core with a good Gfx card
3. Dataware Housing: An AMD 6 Core is a better option. Database operations are highly multi-threaded. You can check the Anandtech CPU Bench 1090T vs i5 2400 and will find out that in multi-threaded apps, in almost all cases 1090T is ahead of 2400. Even 1075T is ahead of i5 2400.

So I want to modify the config a little:-

AMD Phenom II X6 1075T (3 GHz, 3MB L2 Cache, 6MB L3 Cache, Turbo Boost 3.6 GHz) @ 8.4K
Gigabyte GA 880g-USB3 @ 4.8K
Inspire 5.1 T6100 @ 3.8K

Total is around 40K.
