Thanks gatekeeper....

This is a very desirable configuration.

But this is really over my budget :(. Can't we bring it down. Maybe AMD will help in this.

Also, I want to know howz the LG D2342P for gaming. And does gtx560ti support this monitor.

The HD 6950 declare that it support this monitor.
 
^^ Sire AMD is simply not worth it at this point in time, the AM3 socket is EoL, the AM3+ [Bulldozer architecture] has unfortunately performed very poorly and again is not compatible to your needs, if you can forgo over-clocking in the Intel camp, here is what I'll recommend --

Intel Core i5 2400 ~ 10900/-

Intel DH67-BL ~ 5800/-

Corsair XMS3 1600 MHz 4GB x 1 ~ 1650/-

Sapphire HD 6950 2GB ~ 16500/- OR MSi Twin Frozr II 560 Ti ~ 13900/- [the default design of the Sapphire card lends itself to a higher rate of unlocking to a HD 6970, here is a tutorial and benchmark of how well the card performs after an upgrade -- AMD Radeon HD 6950 to HD 6970 Mod | techPowerUp] -- currently no point waiting for the HD 7*** series OR nVidia GTX 6** series simply because the availability and pricing will be very bad till Q2 of 2012, so if you are patient wait for it OR be happy with the current crop of cards.

Seasonic S12D 620W ~ 4400/-

NZXT Gamma ~ 2300/-

LG D2342P ~ [wahtever price you get it at] -- any reason why so adamant on this monitor, has it got any special features -- 120 Hz refresh rate OR 3D support et al.

APC 1.1 KVA UPS ~ 4600/-

Razer Abyssuss ~ 1100/-

Logitech media keyboard ~ 450/-

Hope this helps, Sire. Cheers!!
