Which hardware component are you looking to buy (component name). If you have already decided on a configuration then please mention the (component brand and model) as well, this will help us in fine tuning your requirement.
I shortlisted the following items for my build -
1) AMD FX6300 CPU
2) ASUS M5A97 R2.0 OR Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 OR Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P
3) 8 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM
4) Sapphire HD7770 OR ZOTAC GTX 650 TI GPU
5) Corsair VS 450 OR CX 430 OR Cooler Master Thunder 450W. (Antec VP450 is not available here :/ )
Is this going to be your final configuration or you would be adding/upgrading a component in near future. If yes then please mention when and which component
No Upgradation for the next 3 years,
Where will you buy this hardware? (Online/City/TE Dealer)
Kolkata
Not comfortable with online purchase
Would you consider buying a second hand hardware from the TE market
No
What is your intended use for this PC/hardware
Casual gaming
Browsing
HTPC
Watching HD movies
Photo editing.
Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them and the reason for your preference/dislike.
None.
If you will be playing games then which type of games will you be playing?
Batman - Arkham City/ Origins
Assassin's Creed

Tomb Raider
Witcher 2
What is your preferred monitor resolution for gaming and normal usage.
Nothing as such.
Are you looking to overclock?
No
Which operating system do you intend to use with this configuration?
Windows 7 64 bit
A little help in choosing the components will be much appreciated.
And are the Gigabyte mobos USB 3.0 compatible? (I'm planning to buy a WD 1TB USB 3.0 External HDD) It says in the site they rely on some chip. And how big a difference will it make for spending 1.2k more for the ASUS mobo.
I was initially inclined towards Intel Core i3-3220 + Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H combo, but finally chose to go with AMD rig.
And i have a SATA 1 250GB hard disk, will it work properly with these motherboards?
P.S. - I cannot increase my budget, so have to hover in this range only
