Llano is no match for i5 2400, right? He is having a gfx card right now, and will be adding a new later on, so better to invest in a good procy!

@techfreak- he doesnt needs a dvd drive.

@op- dont go for CM elite 3xx series, either go for CM 430,NZXT gamma, or CM 690 advanced II AND no saga II, go for corsair GS 600 to be on safe side. Although you dont need it now, but when you will add a good gfx card, it will keep you on safe side.

i5 2400- 9300
Intel DH67BL- 5200
RAM (same as above)- 1600
PSU- Corsair gs 600- 4000
Caby- CM Elite 430 / Lian Li Lancool K58W- 2500/4300

Total- 22600/24400

Thanks a lot for your suggestions, guys. Definitely would want to go for a better processor. I want to pin down on one of the suggested mobos: Intel DH67BL or Asus P8H61-M. Couldn't figure out much of a difference from the specs I saw on them.

I want to continue using the current 8400GS for quite some time. If I would get a new one, it might be below 10k

@abhi_10_20 you must really have increased your budget but if you do not wanna overclock why waste money on a unlocked processor and a overclockable motherboard.
It's just a suggestion though grab a i5 2400 + H67 board and you would be good to go
