Hi rackless,

I would like to add a word to help in build of PC. Here are some options for you.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor.
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard.
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory.
Storage: Samsung 830 Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State drive.
Secondary: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive.
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card.
Case: Corsair 500R Black ATX Mid Tower Case.

I believe these components are best for gaming based on your budget. In build, MOBO is the support of SLI technology that means in the future you can add-on a second GPU card for performance, instead of buying a new MOBO or replacing a totally new GPU. The MSI GTX 970 4GB is better in terms of performance, mostly used for gaming and stability in pixels and with that you can enjoy better graphics. For Monitor, you can go with any LED or LCD screen from any Local brand; based on your budget.

Hope it helps.
 
sorry for late reply
i am confused between GTX 970 ASUS or MSI version...from what ive read MSI is a tad better performance wise than ASUS (i won't be OCing).....but their RMA in India is slow....dont know about ASUS RMA

so from performance & RMA perspective which one shall i go for (read many stories of GPU's stuck with service centers for months)

thnks
 
@reckless , why don't you consider zotac if you register your card you get 5years warranty where as others provide 3years, my experience with zotac RMA was good here in Bangalore.
