Intel only. Also I7 Preferred. Cooler master cabinet only plz.

> Why Intel only?

> Why CM cabinet only? the best cabinets below 6k are either BitFenix, Corsair or NZXT.

i5 3550 (11500)
Gigabyte B75M DH3 (4000)
Corsair Value Select 1600 MHz 4 GB (1900)
Corsair CX430V2 (2600)
WD Blue 1TB (3900)
Asus HD7790 (11000)
and iBall/Zebronics cabinet without PSU (750)
Logitech MK200 (750)

total: ~36000

See if you can wait for some time and get this config.

I trust Intel since begining. Never used AMD. Also I am member of toms hardware since 2008. But they always suggest from newegg or amzon which is not possible here.
CM K380 is in my mind.
I7 Plz , dont need keyboard/mouse. Also can u suggest any Asus mobo ???
I guess for my monitor 7790 will be overkill. 7750 is ok.

toms hardware since 2008 relevant - Yup as they suggest parts that are really good config but most of times not available in my city. (So asking here)

Did you trusted Intel when you were just born? - Ouuch that's rude. But saw friends AMD rig (955 BE) & found my old Q8300 was much better in that aspect. (He also said the same.) Also Using Intel since 2005.

& I7 cause I want it to be future proof. I can extend budget.

Do u really think that a 2600k PSU is needed ?? Can I go for normal 500 Watt PSU ??

 

[ASHISH65]

+1 to harshil's config.

dude take the i5 3570k over i7 as they perform same. in gpu get gtx 650ti or hd 7790 ,both is good for your resolution.

please no to local psu,get cxv2 430w

[ASHISH65]

if you budget then take ssd

 

[RohanM]

Done mate.

 

[CommanderShawnzer]

@RohanM : adding a measly 5K to your budget won't help you get WD Velociraptor 1TB which costs 16000 INR.Better get WD Caviar Blue 1TB.Best VFM for your budget

 

[ASHISH65]

i5 3550 - rs 11,500

Asus b75 mobo - rs 4000

Corsair/g-skill value select ram 4x2 gb - rs 3400

Corsair cxv2 430w - rs 2600

Saphhire hd 7750 1gb - rs 6700

Corsair 400r cabinet - rs 4500

Do u really think that a 2600k PSU is needed ?? Can I go for normal 500 Watt PSU ??

2600k is the model number of Sandy bridge i7 processor. I think you are referring to Corsair CX430V2 (2.6k INR PSU not 2600k PSU). You are member of Toms Hardware?? I highly doubt that.
