Question 1-I am looking to buy all these parts from Lynx-India.Is that site reliable?It has got some incredible prices.

Ok solved,I'll get it from Theitwares or locally.

Question 2-I am looking forward to unlocking the 4th core(ok no big deal if it doesn't) and overclocking that CPU a fair bit.Is the Biostar board (~4.5k) good enough for that?Or should I go with Giga USB3 (~6k) Edit: added ASRock M3A785GXH (5.8k) to the shortlist too.

Question 3-Is getting an extra 2 GB DDR 3 (total 4 GB) ram worth it over upping the GFX to HD 5770 for gaming at that resolution?

I'll post more if I remember:p

You guys may suggest different componants if they are better than (and in budget) what I have listed here.

Thanks
 
1. A lot of people have complained on lynx-India here. If i were you, I'd stay away from that shop.
2. Wait for others' reply.
3. 2GB is enough for gaming at medium settings, get a 5770.
But try to stretch your budget for 4GB RAM :D
 
All right I found my stuff on theITwares too.I want the dealer to be reliable,a few hundred don't matter.

----------------------------

I am leaning towards getting the MSI 5770 now,although still not convinced that it is worth 1500 more than the 4870.
