CPU-Core i5 2400-10500

motherboard-Intel DH67BL-B3-5600

Gpu-It'd be better if you wait for Amd HD7XXX series to be released which is in Q1 2012,reviews of this series are good,so it's worth waiting for it.

ram-or Gskill ripjaws X 4GBx2 1600MHZ-3200 or Corsair XMS3 4GBx2 1600MHZ-3200

cabinet-Nzxt gamma-2200

power supply-Seasonic s12ii 620w-4600 or Corsair tx650v2-5200

UPS-APC 650v-3300.

If you have HDD then it's great otherwise segate 320gb-3600

Hope this helps.:)
 
Not only AMD releasing their new GPUs soon, the prices of 6000 and 500 series are set to be cut down after 7xxx series release. Even Nvidia is releasing 600 series in Q1. The i5-2400 has inbuilt graphics so you can build you desktop now and later you can add the GPU.
 
Intel H67 board doesn't support Ram 1600Mhz ryt !
And i'll be keeping the HDD that i have now :)

And about PSU , i dnt think i can get seasonic locally here , what about corsair or cooler master alternatives ?? corsair GS series / Coolermaster GX series ???

when is the nvidia 6xx series releasing?
 
If seasonic s12ii 620w not available then you can get it shipped from TheITwares Ecommerce or as for corsair go for TX650V2-5.2k is a solid and great performing psu.
H67 chipset supports maximum of 1333 MHz speed for ram so,ASUS P8P67-10.4k or Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3-B3-9.5k is what you should go for if you want 1600mhz support.
1600mhz ram is little fater than 1333mhz,since you're into gaming i'd suggest you to get 1600mhz ram.
 
^^ Even the P67 chipset doesn't utilize 1600MHz RAM --

Anyways on the Intel Sandy-Bridge platform 1600MHz is what anyone should look for the scaling is really good -- http://www.anandtech.com/show/4503/sandy-bridge-memory-scaling-choosing-the-best-ddr3,

I think we confirmed what we pretty much knew all along: Sandy Bridge's improved memory controller has all but eliminated the need for extreme memory bandwidth, at least for this architecture. It's only when you get down to DDR3-1333 that you see a minor performance penalty. The sweet spot appears to be at DDR3-1600, where you will see a minor performance increase over DDR3-1333 with only a slight increase in cost. The performance increase gained by going up to DDR3-1866 or DDR3-2133 isn't nearly as pronounced.

For SMPS get these --

Corsair TX V2 650W ~ 5400/- OR

Cooler Master Silent Power Pro 600W ~ 6000/-

avoid Corsair GS series, Cooler Master GX series are not really as good as the above.

nVidia 6** series is scheduled to release around Q1 2012, by the time it arrives here will be Mid-June OR so better get a GTX 560 Ti card now, it'll save you a lot of pain later.
