Since a GPU will not be possible in this budget , get
AMD A10 5800k @ 7.5k
Asus F2A85M-le @ 5.5k
This processor has a very good integrated GPU than the i3.

I mentioned INTEL rig only, no AMDs. Also A10 will go out of budget...
a10+asus a85m=13k
So going for
i3-3210+b75m=10k
for gpu he'll add in 6-12 months.

hey
suggest any good local cheap cabinet w/o psu,
zebronics is good for that??

hey guys one more small help needed.
Should i change Gigabyte b75-d3h with ASUS P8B75-M LX.
It has good BIOS(UEFI), good A.s.s.
If price is not concern which is best MoBo.
also asus is well known for its MoBos.
I heared that gigabyte b75 has some issues. I am using it too, not faced any problem but I just want to know about ASUS P8B75-M LX.
Flipkart.com: Online Store

I like its BIOS and GPU acceleration, a.s.s.

^ Go with the Gigabyte one, if you dont find it Asus is also fine. IMO spending money on a DDR3 GFX card is a waste.

>you didnt explain why gigabyte is better asus has only one drawback 16gb max memory, but he dont need 32gb at all currently 4 gb at max 8gb
asus has several features that caught my eyes.
UEFI bios, nice igpu acceleration(intel hd 4000 go up to 1250mhz), 2000+ ram frequency supported, a.s.s.
and he is not buying descrete graphics so igpu acceleration would be pretty nice feature.
and it is available for same price 4.1k in local area.
>I am not buying any graphic card now, saving money when i have 7-8k in my hand i will get any good one.

MAHAVIR Electronics.
mmm i know there are three on lamington road but I think this one is near police station ;)
I got that price few days ago but now I dont know much about availability now.
bijli is attractive i know but not good as expected, in terms of cooling it is crap because fan placement is wierd.
If you are not short on budget then get elite 311/nzxt gamma/antec x1 @ 1.8k/2.4k/2.4k respectively.
If your rig not too HEAT PRODUCING then get any cheapo zebby or intex or iball @ 700 bucks and save money for hardware.
