Thanks Sumit & Hades!

I have a few questions here...

1. How does the AMD AthlonII X3 perform compared to the i3 processors and what would be the cost difference??
2. What would be the cost of HD 5670 1GB GPU? How is it better compared to the 512MB? What would be the price difference?
3. What difference would using a GB vs Asus Motherboard compare? I am looking at 4GB RAM & also support for USB3.0.
4. Any good place to buy the parts from in Chennai? I am particularly worried about going myself to Richie Street!
