Stretch the budget a bit 26k is the total of the above rig,i don't see anything cheaper than that,you'd have to cut the cpu to Intel G620-3500/- otherwise everything is tightened up.

How long do you intend to stick with this setup, if it is less than ~1 -- 2 years you can invest in the following setup --

AMD A6 3650 ~5500/-

Gigabyte GA-A75-S2V ~5500/-

[rest configuration same as above]

if you want to keep it more than ~1 -- 1.5 years, then I suggest you go with the RIG that #Jakob suggested.
 
i want to use it for more than four years. Is AMD A6 3650 as good as core i3? any other options in monitor and graphics card to bring the price under 24K?
 
Sir i'd suggest you to go for i3+gpu,which would be better in long term,The monitor is the cheapest from dell,i'd say you can cut the gpu to HD6570 GDDR3 1GB-2.7k-http://www.primeabgb...emart&Itemid=53

Another monitor option is Benq G922HDL-5k-http://www.theitwares.com/benq-g922hdl-inch-wide-monitor-p-948.html

No go for the Core i3 then, it is a much more powerful processor, even after being a dual core [with two hyper-threaded cores].

Also the H61 motherboard, with its LGA 1155 socket can accommodate Ivy-Bridge processors if you want to upgrade this system later.

Hey thanks #Jakob a bit woozy right now. Cheers!!
 
H61 Keyboard?,Correct that with mobo if that's what you were saying.

thenga for your intended use, I think Intel B620 is sufficient and the money saved over i3 should be use for a better graphic card and display.

OP wants to use this system for the next ~ 3 -- 4 years, the G620 doesn't have sufficient muscle to power his work till then. Plus the G620 now will cap his upgrade options, pertaining to a powerful graphics adapter which will make it pointless to get a large display.
