1. With hd 5770 , you will be fine with games on you screen upto 1680x1050 resolution. Though if you want to go for 1920x1600 res then HD 5830 is must, further 256 bit mem will help in AA. Its the resolution which matters not the screen size.

2. Cheapest one is the one suggested by mac555 i.e. msi x58 pro-e. Because the i7 930 requires 1366 socket. And there is no USB 3 in this motherboard. This processor is a good candidate for overclocking.
But if you really want a core i7 and a mobo with USB 3 (plus SATA 6gbps too) then choose core i7 860 (socket 1156) and MSI p55 GD-85 (11k) which has USB 3 and SATA 6gbps. Total Win !!!

3. no comment as I have no idea.

There is one MSI mobo for 1366 with USB 3 and SATA 6gbps. I got a quotation of around 12k for it.
Btw go for Inter i7 9xx series and socket 1366. Best in terms of future proofing and also overclocking. Plus u get triple channel advantage :grin:

Here goes, i am too building a gaming pc

Intel core i7 930 2.8GHz....................~14k
MSI x58 GD-65 USB 3 Sata 6gbps....................~12k
G.Skill 1600MHz CL7 6Gb kit........................~12k
PSU Corsair VX450/VX550.................3.7k/4.7k

For gfx card go for the 5770
Or extend ur budget and get one suggested below to match up with corei7

GTX 460 768MB ..........12k

Personally i'd go for 1GB version (costs ~15k) and further expand it to SLI. Choose EVGA (i m not too optimistic abt its release in India),Gigabyte (good cooler, silent) or MSI cyclone (awesomely designed cooler, silent)

its better to go in for a LCD fullHD monitor as it has matte screen as compared to the glossy screen of tv+LED combo.. :)

i7 860
i7 860s
i7 870
i7 870s
i7 875K

From the i7 architecture.
