i basically need a pc for gaming and multimedia purposes. but can't find the best configuration for my pc within 50-55k budget. here's the list that i've prepared.

AMD x2 3800+(must)=>Rs.14000-19000
Motherboard: Asus A8N-E=> Rs.5750
Geforce 6600 256MB (PCI-Ex) => Rs.9500
SGT 160GB - 7200rpm=> Rs. 3850
Hynx 512MB-DDR-400 400MHz - PC3200=> Rs.2100
Sony DVD writer 16X2 => Rs.3300
Samsung 17"flat monitor=> Rs. 6700
Keyboard/(optical) mouse, logitech,=> Rs.950
ATX cabinet with 400W SMPS=> Rs.1500
Creative Inspire 5.1=> Rs.3900
Tv Tuner Card=> Rs.

TOTAL= Rs. 51750-56750(approx.)

Suggestions needed in these categories:-
1> a PCIe graphics card in the budget 0f Rs.6000
but should not dip in performance too much.
2> Is there a drive that can read/write both CD
as well as DVD. if yes than please list with price.
3>I want a tv tuner card also but don;t know which one to use and also it should not conflict with graphics card. please suggest within rs 1500.
4>Can i use a sata drive on this motherboard.
5>Availability of amd 3800+ in india.

6600 will never suffice...dump the X2, get a 3000+ and a 6600GT

any normal 400W wont do. a Antec is a must
