Hi [MENTION=185935]vyamoham[/MENTION],

Overall, I like the bssunil configuration. Just a suggestion, maybe you could add 2 sticks of 4GB RAM (DDR3-1866). if you run 2 RAM sticks, you will be running memory in dual channel which will be a greater increase in performance than running a single stick in single channel.

For storage part, 120GB SSD drive is enough. The SSD mostly used as the OS/boot drive or storage drive. It all depends on your budget. SSD is expensive, however, they are worth every penny. For HDD part, I would advise you go with the WD Blue 1TB for normal computing and WD Green 2TB for normal storage, that is if you don't have the budget problem.

Hi [MENTION=185935]vyamoham[/MENTION],

As for the GPU, you can go with any model; based on your requirement. If you are looking for good configuration, You have to expand your budget.

Just a suggestion, after you add the new component in the system then you really need a higher wattage PSU.
