6. PSU : FSP SAGAII 400w ~ 2.2k/ Gigabyte Superb 460 ~ 2.2k/ Corsair CX400 ~ 2.8k(Your PSU is very old and needs an upgrade. It will mostly lack connectors needs by newer motherboards. Even if it has it is not advisable to run the system on a 4-5 yrs old generic PSU. The PSU is the heart of the system and provides clean and stable power to your system. Dont skimp on that. Also avoid the Cooler Master Extreme Power series like plague.)

Total: 28-29k. As u are playing less demanding games the IGP should suffice for now. You can add a mid range GPU for 3-5k when needed.(If u go for a decent PSU)
