@amansagar you will not be over-clock in your budget, here is what I suggest --

Intel Core i5 2320 ~10000/-
Intel DH67-BL ~5600/- OR MSi H67MA-E35 ~4800/-
G.Skill RIPJAWS 4GB x1 ~1700/- [add another 4GB RAM module later]
AMD HD 7850 2GB ~16500/- [better get this any card below this is to weak and not future proof for HD-resolution gaming]
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB ~5000/- [OR buy a second hard drive with warranty from the Member's Market]
HP [boxed] optical drive ~1000/-
NZXT Gamma ~2600/- [should be available at Golccha Computers]
Seasonic S12II 520W ~3800/-
DELL ST2220L ~8500/-
APC BR1100VA-IN ~5000/- [this is the UPS, I recommend you buy this if the power situation in your locality is poor]
Altec-Lansing BXR1221 ~1000/- [basic 2.1 speakers -- OPTIONAL] you can add whatever audio peripheral you want to the system]
LOGITECH K200 keyboard ~450/-
LOGITECH G400 ~1500/-

Hope this helps, Cheerio!!

P.S. -- Welcome to TE hope you have a pleasant stay.

The difference between the two is that the APC 650VA UPS may OR may-not be able to take the load of your system. On the other-hand the 1100VA will get you around 10 minutes of back-up.

I said if you feel the new hard-drive is very expensive you can buy a second-hand drive [under warranty].

There is not a great price difference between the Sandy-Bridge Core i5's they are all the same chip [essentially] with different stock clocks and boost states.
 
Thanks a lot ALPHA17 and all the details were usefull ... Which shop you'll recommend to buy the pc and from where to buy second hand drive if i consider buying one ?

In Bangalore these are the shops I can recommend --
  • Golccha IT Trade
  • Aashirwaad Computers
  • Jainex Computers [contact this guy first, Gautam Jain]
For a second hand drive, look here --> Sell or Trade Products.

is this a good choice for using as monitor in a system if you are looking for a bigger monitor ? it's price is around 15.5k ...

I have heard most people on TE avoid purchasing anything from TimTara as they are considered fraudsters as well as do not deliver the products [took a guy here ~6 months to get his refund]. http://www.techenclave.com/hot-deals-discussions/bad-experience-timtara-124810/#post1544840 / http://www.techenclave.com/consumer-feedback/how-timtara-134357/#post1673851

Also, never used a TV in a monitor role, so cannot comment on how the image quality and other parameters might get affected.

Hope this helped, Cheerio!

can i use Sapphire radeon hd 7850 oc version in my rig and can i overclock it in future if i want to with my configuration .
And out of these 2 which will be better for me ? Intel DH67-BL ~5600/- OR MSi H67MA-E35 ~4800/-
as i won't be using more dan 16 gb ram at any point ...
and what is the major difference between these two motherboards ?
 
The Radeon HD7850 OC version is factory overclocked but yes you can still overclock it if you need.You'd g ofor Intel H67 mobo cause the intel mobo has 4 Ram slots compared to Msi one,Everything else is the same.Also Intel has good A.S.S.

Thanks Jacob ..
What's the difference in the benchmark or specification of Radeon HD7850 OC and the normal HD7850 and both of them can be overclocked to same values or some difference is there ...
About the motherboard if there isn't any difference except the ram slots then 2 slots is more than enough for me ... then should i go for Msi one ? as my budget is a little tight

Nothing will be different between the two cards under most circumstances, maximum ~5 -->10fps difference in select scenarios. In my opinion if you are confident enough go for the stock HD 7850 2GB card and over-clock it to the max, if not so sure buy the HD7850 OC edition and do not do anything with it.

The performance of both motherboards should be similar [as they have the same chipset at their hearts -- H67]. I have had experience with the MSi RMA and they are reliable chaps although heard reports of them under-crediting EoL components / peripherals.

Hope this helps, Cheerio!

Yes, most shop-keepers are willing to knock off a little from the price when you buy the whole RIG from them. Though it is not something I can guarantee you.

Also, if you can hold out on the graphics card purchase for a little longer you can bag the nVidia GTX 660Ti that completely demolishes the former.

Hope this helps, Cheerio!

i can wait for the GPU but what will be the price of GTX660ti AND when it will be launched ?
Click to expand...

They are saying August end, most probably by mid-September it should trickle into India, expect it to be priced ~20000/- INR. It will trigger a price-war between itself and AMD HD 78** series cards. So win-win if yo wait.
