i7920 and i7930 are the same chips almost with the 930 having slightly higer clock at stock and for small price diffrence here in india i would suggest you get the 930 instead of the 920 ...(especially if you are not overlclocking) so here we go

I7 930 -- 13900

6GB Gskill RAM pi series kit -- 11,100

(or)

3x 2gb kingston ram -- 8,100

Corsair VX550 -- 4500

1X 2TB drive HDD -- 6450

IPS panel is gonna be very diffcult to fit into the budget . ...

the above config leaves you with 7k more to get the display in ....
 
Any IPS panel - 14k (22/23" Dell IPS. Not sure of cheaper market alternatives)
Intel i7 930 (preferably) -14k
MSI X58 Pro-E - 10.5k (Is it excluded from the budget :S)
2TB storage (to start with) -6.5k
6GB GSkill Kit - 10k
Good PSU - 4.1k(Seasonic S12II 520w)
Total: ~ 60k. You aint got the budget for this set up.

Alternative
Core i-7 860~14k/ Core i-5 750 ~ 10k / PhenomII X6 1055T~10k
Gigabyte H-55 UD2H~ 5.8k/ Gigabyte 785GMT-USB3 ~ 5.5k
4GB XMS3 Kit ~ 6.4k

If someone comes up with a good, cheap 19" IPS monitor in the market for ~8-9k then other stuff can be choosen with the remaining budget.

Also what about the rest of the stuff like casing, I/O Devices, ODD etc... You have them already? Also the X-58/ P-55/ H-55 mobos lacks IGP. So a GPU (basic) is also needed IINM.
 
uhm i cant come up with a quad core cpu and a monitor......

pls increase budget:D

try for amd X2 or X3

555be 5000
gigabyte ma78gmt-usb3 5500
kingston 6gb - 8000 or 4gb 5000
cabinet - any simple one 2000
dvd - 1200
psu - 3500 vx 450
hdd - 6000

total - 31k with 6gb ram..9k for monitor
28k with 4gb ram 12k for monitor

555 has high chance of unlocking to quad although get a 212+ if u unlock as quads give more heat
if u increase budget to 2k more and with 4gb ram u get a 14k dell ips monitor
pretty awesome build for photoshopping

btw whats difference betwen tft and ips panel
 
Thanks for all the input. To clarify, it has to be a complete PC config including mobo, disc drive and casing. Well even if it increase the 40K budget dont hold yourself back. It can be stretched to 50K if needed. :p

How about we dial down the proc/mobo combo to the nearest cousin to reduce the cost from 24K
 
Go for the i-7 860. Its on par with the i-7 930 but you can get a much cheaper mobo.

HDD 2 TB Seagate 7200.12 6450
GPU Sapphire HD4350 512MB DDR2 1900
Cabinet NZXT Gamma 2100
PSU/SMPS Corsair VX450 3800
Key Board Logitech SET - Optical Blk Mouse+ MMKB 700
Mouse NA -
ODD L.G. GH22NS50 OEM SATA DVD-Writer 1000
Total 42000/42500
 
actually dont go for one single hard disk , have 2 of them , one can be the primary OS and the other can be the scratch disk for photoshop, if the person is highly into it , then it will come into play
