First use the stock cooler for a couple of weeks. Then decide whether you really need it or not.
Guys how will be this deal for say ~20k ? I well convinced for all but GPU. Or will it be better to buy a new GPU keeping the rest same ? Or altogether new (which IMO wouldn't be cost/performance effective) ?
The GPU would be used to play games at 720p (as of now) but with eye candies cranked up to the limits. Budget for all ~25k.

update the link. it shows invalid thread specified
I knew it'd be deleted as it didn't follow market guidelines.
Anyway, on offer was i5 2400, Intel DH67BL, 4gb DDR3, MSI r6870 Hawk, Thermaltake M9 Cabinet. Don't remember about PSU. All this for 21k (negotiable).

i think it is worth as i5 2400 is till a very capable cpu.
I very well know that. My doubt was about GPU. Most probably will buy a new one.

Budgets higher than 70k will need something use case specific (overclockable, dual graphics, liquid cooling) so will not post configs for other budgets. I request everyone to help keeping the configs up-to-date.
