CPU: Quad core only. (confused bt. x4 840 & 955be)
Mainboard: Asus preferably.2nd option - gigabyte
Note - Need support for 6gb sata & usb 3.0 & min. 2-3 PCI slots, am3+ support not mandatory
RAM: Decided on 2 GB corsair xms3
PSU: Decided on Corsair cx430v2(for 840) & cx500v2(for 955be) - will change if anybody vehemently says they are not for gaming pc's.
pcie card: 6850 - if i get it for 9.5 max in chennai or its 6770
So, the major confusion is with the cpu & mainboard.
Budget: Around 23k
