@ d6bmg: Thanks for the suggestion.

Is this Gigabyte Board AM3+ ready?

I checked the Gigabyte website, this mainboard is listed in AM3 as well as AM3+ sockets.

Just wanted to know whether price mentioned by you is for AM3 or AM3+ board.

Also I donot like the shape of the NZXT GAMMA. Can you please suggest any other cabinets in the same range.

Regards,
Sachin

^^ Then you should look at the cabinets made by desi comoanies like frontech, intex, zeb, iball etc. Go to a shop, see the cabinets, tell them that your max budget for cabinet is around 2K.
