i5 not possible for 35 grand... Ud have to compromise on the graphics card to get it... if u like gaming then its definitely not worth it...

Processor AMD Phenom II X4 955BE- 7400

Motherboard Gigabyte GA-785GMT-USB3/ MSI 880GMA-E45 5700

RAM 4GB(2*2) G. Skill F3-10600CL9S-2GBNT DDRIII 5200

Key Board Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 1100

For example

Motherboard MSI P55-GD65- 7900

GPU Sapphire HD5770 1GB GDDR5/ MSI Hawk HD5770 1GB GDDR5 - 9600

27400 bucks just for this....add...

PSU/SMPS Corsair cX 400 2700

Key Board Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 1100

ODD L.G. GH22NS50 OEM SATA DVD-Writer 900

MOBO : Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H Rs.5800

GFX : Sapphire HD4770 512MB DDR5 Rs.6000 (it will not be able to run mist of the new games @ native, this is how you'll suffer if you continue being an Intel fanboy. If you can go the AMD way you can play games and be happy)

RAM : Corsair 1333Mhz DDR3 2gbX2 Rs.5200

HDD : 500gb WD Blue Rs.2000

Total = Rs.35350

If you take the AMD configuration :

AMD Phenom II X2 555BE(3.2Ghz, 2 cores, 6MB L3 Cache) Rs.4900

MSI 880GMA-E45 Rs.5700 (you get USB3 + SATA3 as an added bonus)

Sapphire HD5770 1GB GDDR5/ MSI Hawk HD5770 1GB GDDR5 Rs.9200~9600 (HUGE performance gain while gaming, you cannot believe how much faster this configuration is compared to the intel one above)

Corsair VX450 Rs.3700[better deal as it comes with 5yrs wrrty.]
Total Amount = Rs.34460

Actually this present PC of mine will go to my father's office, as his Primary RIG. I guess i can Take out the HD 4670 from this rig later and maybe sell it and get some money maybe. I'm kinda worried, i really want Intel, its never let me down!

Moreover If im spending so much money i really want a quad core, i've had a dual core past 3.8 years...
