Why are you going for a 14 grand graphic card if you are not going to game.

Do you want a monitor/speaker/KB Mouse etc?
Your uses in the OP say - Full on downloading and Programming. If you want to leave a PC on for whole day then I recommend getting two builds. One main programming movies etc and one for downloading. What say?

Yeah Rite !!!
Money doesn`t grow on trees buddy !!!

Also I have 50k .. Why not buy a gud gaming card than building two rigs ???

Arey plz neone going to lamington road plz enquire bout hd6870 price and availability ...

I agree, when 50k is the budget a decent mid range graphics card is mandatory.
Many sites confirmed that hd 6870 is priced reasonably at 12k(but can we believe them???). So this is not kind of help you expected
And as you say, you are into movies dont you think 500GB is little less for that!!!???

And at last HAPPY DIWALI... May god bless you with a PC in coming week...

Do you really have to SPEND the 50K? If you don't game then the above mentioned graphics card is a PURE WASTE of money plus your rig is an overkill.
For downloading/programming, even a 20-30K rig will suffice. And that too for many years to come.
And You can always set aside your money for future upgrades.
Also there is Mac Mini which comes within 50K, however performance is a concern there as compared to any standard rig assembled between 25-50K. However it wins in terms of portability, OS, form factor, and power consumption.

Two PCs Downloading and programming will be cheaper than that rig. The main PC can still have a "GOOD" card. Even a HD5670 is more than enough for you. Also a always on downloading will give you huge elec bills if you use that beefy PC for that.

HD 6870 will be available for around 14.8K. Not 12K. Also HD 6870 is not a decent mid-range card. Its a middle-high end card.

Sorry for my substandard advice, but I'll just say that it doesn't take me more than 2mins to throw together a 50Krig. I was just saving him some money.
