Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium -->http://www.microsoft...ways_2_buy.aspx OR get an OEM version installed while purchasing the PC*.

*there are certain restrictions on the OEM edition, do inquire with the dealer what all restrictions these are, no. of times software can be re-installed et al.

I have not suggested any speakers OR audio devices as I do not have a good idea of them.

Hope this helps, Cheers!!
 
Things are getting little out of budget,i think op would have to settle for Nzxt Gamma-2.4k and better go for Dell U2311H-14.5k than U2312M,Somewhere things have to cut down,OP can settle for CM Hyper 212 EVO-2.1k,OP should read the review of #ALPHA17 on Logitech G300 if op feels that the mouse is little small then Logitech G400-1.4k is a worth giving a look at.
 
Aww shit, forgot to mention that I do have a keyboard and mouse as well as speakers. My bad.

Also, ALPHA17, it seems the 7950 is out there already.

U2311 has been phased out, the market is now flooded with the U2312M ~14500/-.

The Gamma is a wise step down, but OP will need to but a couple of fans to generate an airflow.

And I think I am ALPHA17 Sire, I already gave my review link pertaining to the same to OP.
 
I think prime still has U2311H in stock,if op couldn't find one then U2312M is the way to go,it's better to add 2X2 120mm fans in gamma if op is having strict budget,about the review i was referring to you.

Get a 6950 twin frozer or if you can bear with cf then 6850 cf. the 7950 isn't very comfortable at 30k since you need to spend another 25k on CPU plus mobo. Your gpu budget should be 15-20k max.
 
if it is just to protect your pc components a surge protector is enough instead of ups belkin /huntkey rs 500-800

Processor Intel Core i5 2500k 12574flipkart

CPU Cooler Noctua NH-U12P-SE2 3900 or Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus CPU cooler 2000 itwares
