You didn't mentioned what's the purpose. If you want gaming rig, consider this :

AMD Phenom II X2 555BE + MSI 785G-E53 @ 10.5k
4GB(2x2GB) 1333MHz Kingston/Transcend DDR3 RAM @ 5.4k
500 GB WD Blue @ 2.3k
Sapphire HD5770 1GB GDDR5 @ 9.7k
Benq G2220HD @ 7.6k
CM Elite 310 @ 1.5
Corsair VX450 @ 3.8k
L.G. GH22NS30 /Samsung SH-S22F SATA DVD-Writer @ 1.1k

Total 42k (Approx)

If you wanna dump the graphics card then you can choose the 955BE along with Biostar TA790GX A3+ @ 6.5k

I'm not sure but as far I know P55 boards doesn't have onboard graphics. So you need a discrete Graphics Card. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

So the Core i5 Rig will cost more.

Core i5 750 + MSI P55 GD-65 @ 18.5k
4GB(2x2GB) 1333MHz Kingston/Transcend DDR3 RAM @ 5.4k
500 GB WD Blue @ 2.3k
Benq G2020HD @ 6.3k OR Benq G2220HD @ 7.6
CM Elite 310 @ 1.5k
Gigabyte Superb 460w @ 2.2k OR Corsair VX450 @ 3.8k
Sapphire HD5750 1GB DDR5 @ 8.2k OR Sapphire HD5770 1GB GDDR5 @ 9.7k
L.G. GH22NS30 /Samsung SH-S22F SATA DVD-Writer @ 1.1k

The Gigabyte board that you choosed is also good.

Now if you choose the option's before the OR, It'll cost you around 45k.

Rather than 790 I'd suggest to go for 890 as it's out. Brands to look at Gigabyte.

890 is not VFM at all. its costly. Biostar 890G costing quite a bit. better 785G(a board supporting 140W proccy) + a dedicated graphics card from the saved money. or wait 2month. price will surely come down.
