You gotta be kidding me!!Right?How do you expect us to know what the prices will be after 4 months??Since you are gonna buy the rig in May I would suggest you to start a thread in mid-April.
Also as this is a new rig don't get CM extreme.Go for Corsair/Seasonic.
Moreover by May Sandybridge will be available everywhere in the country & also prices would have come down too.So go for Intel.

@bavusni agree with ssb sandy bridge is the way to go for please wait until the market becomes clear. we will post something as soon as we have reliable info and knowledge on sandy bridge status in india.

i promise you for 50k youll have a god of a pc just wait for the new launches to settle down.

There has always been a war between Intel and AMD core processors. But i have been using AMD for so long and it never caused me any problem be it while surfing, playing games or running large applications. So i go to vote for AMD Phenom II X4 965BE

you would want to buy a 64 bit os as they are priced same.why would you want to lmit such a powerful rig to 4 gb ram?

so get 64 bit os so you can fill up as much ram as ur mobo support.
