  2. Hi Kartik,
    You are suggesting HD 5450 graphics card, it would be better to go with Intel Core i7 - 2600K instead of Intel Core i7 - 2600 and avoid purchasing HD 5450,
    As per benchmarks and gaming reviews intel HD 3000 graphics (which is embedded in Core i7-2600K) is equivalent to ATI HD 5450, you will save almost Rs 1600/-

    Memory Corsair 2 x 4GB DDR3 1333 MHz

    Speakers Creative Inspire 5.1 (wont buy now but will get it later)
    Samsung DVD Writer 850
    Msi ATI HD 5450 1GB 2400
    Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 500W 2800
    Numeric 600 VA 1500
    BenQ E2420HD 13,000 (monitor looks awesome but is there an LED equivalent that will be better)
    Cooler Master Elite 430 2500
    I would also like to get a better graphics card. Any suggestions? Palit GTX 560?
