[MENTION=157501]Kartik.Sharma1607[/MENTION], whenever you are posting a build with those prices make sure you do mention VAT concerns. Its very misleading with such prices. I5-4440 is not available for 11290 in almost any shop in N.P.
The cheapest deal I cracked was 12,100 bucks recently.

Otherwise , add ~14% vat on the items and then post. It will be quite helpful to buyer.

if you are going to buy another 8gb stick in near future , then buy one 8gb module for now.
Otherwise buy dual modules ( 4gb each ) so that you can use make effective use of dual channel memory.
