I want to keep the monitor and buy a full HD 1 as well.. may be use it as extended desktop.,.. (heard the new GPUs support multiple resolutions simultaneously..)
GPU and SMPS .. dont think they can handle the load.. so mostly will have to upgrade...

Also Intel core i5 raises the budget quite a bit.. (overall)
Any suggestions on AMD phenom??? Had always heard AMDs are better for gaming.. :huh:
or Core i3 2100 (is core i3 2105 launched??)

Monitor.. Mostly will go for an LED backlit one.. go green.. :bleh:

Thanks.

CPU has the least impact when it comes to gaming at fullHD resolutions. So a corei3 2100 is more than enough for ur build.

SMPS - get the Seasonic S12II 512w psu 3.5k

a HD6850 is fine but i suggest u to get a hd6870 which is ~ 11k and u can play most games at max settings ( including bf3 without AA )
 
Thanks for the configs.. and sorry for the late reply..

buying the pc has been put on hold for the moment... will buy it sometime later... hope HDD prices fall by then.. :D
