Some changes-
PSU-Corsair CX430 V2-2.1k OR Seasonic S12ii 430W-2.9k[Good enough for this rig]
Monitor-Dell 2030M-5k
GPU-Gigabyte HD7770-8.5k[Adding 1k to get better gpu]
^^and how would he fit a i7 in 30k?

I already have monitor,HDD,optical drive..Please exclude that things and give info on rest of the componenets..
 
^^if we leave those then we have around 24k for cpu+mobo+gpu
you could go for

Phenom II X4 960T

960T
Mother baord
M5A97 PRO
6237
M5A97 PRO
GPU
HD 6850
10017
6850

this is the best u can get..gettin an intel quad will mean u have to spend double on processor.And skimp on others.
Don't know the resolution u game in..so am kinda hoping 6850 will do...
or else get 6870 for 12400(flipkart)
PSU: i would suggest getting anything from corsair or FSP..gigabyte is not horrible..but it aint corsair but keeps the budget within reach.
 
No need to go for a AMD quad core when Intel's dual core beats him at the same price-AnandTech - Bench - CPU
So it's better if op goes for-
Intel i5 2400-10.5k[Way better than AMD PhenomII X4 Series-AnandTech - Bench - CPU]
Intel DH67BL-B3-5.6k
Corsair XMS3 2X2GB 1333mhz-1.6k
Corsair CX430V2-2.2k
AMD HD7750-7.5k
Everything else as suggested above.
No need to go for anything more than HD7750 if OP is going to game @1024X768 resolution,So OP should go for this rig as it'd be good enough for him to both game and work.

i don't get it....
he games at 1024*768...but its better to future proof...isn't? since he may change the monitor cauyse 1024*768 too less screen estate.
getting a 2400 seems a bit stupid to me at that budget when in the amd setup overall platform performs much better with much more with more connectivity options and more performance if needed.

Thanx mate..But I just read some other site that the games uses more GPU rather cpu.So I'm thinking of i3 2120 along with HD 6870 + suggested mobo for future use also. Or Do i stick with my current cpu athlon II x3 445 and add HD 6870 or 6950 and buy some cooling stuff ?

This mentioned mobo Intel DH67BL-B3 supports core i7 ?
 
You're right about the GPU but you're gaming at lower resolution 1024X768 so HD7750 is good enough to give you high level graphics at that resolution and there's no need to go for i3 2120 go for i5 2400 quad core and yes the motherboard mentioned supports i7 2nd gen cpu's.

Thanks again ! But the graphics is final and forever.So i'm making sure for good one.:)

If it comes to resolution,i will buy 19 or 20 inch LED in near future may be after 6-8 months..

And Do i stick with my current cpu athlon II x3 445 and add HD 6870 or 6950 and buy some cooling stuff like cpu cooling and all..
 
Well it's your call,If that's the case then go for-
i3 2100+H67 Motherboard with Sapphire HD6850-9.5k which is good enough for 20" OR 22" monitor.

Thanks Jakob.I go for the specs you mentioned:happy26:

Suggest also psu which is good wnough for gpu and cpu cooling becoz i never trust stock coolers
 
For the psu considering you'll buy HD6850 go for Seasonic S12ii 520W-3.6k and for CPU Cooler-Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO-2.1k is more than good enough.The Intel HSF will handle the temps well but if you don't trust then go for the cooler.
Thanks Jakob.I go for the specs you mentioned:happy26:

Here is the config which i go for..

Processor i3 2100 - 6.7k
Intel DH67BL-B3 - 5.6k
Corsair XMS3 2X2GB 1333mhz -1.6k
CM elite 311 case - 2k
Seasonic S12ii 520W - 3.6k
CPU Cooler-CM Hyper 212 EVO -2.1k
GPU hd 6850 1gb ddr5 - 9.5k


TOTAL - 31.1k More But worth It :happy26: )

Thanks !!
 
Instead of CM 311 go for Nzxt Gamma-2.4k
Here is the config which i go for..
