Looks like you have done extensive research before posting here. Well there is nothing to change about the components you've chosen. For Display, get Dell S2240 Display, around 9.1K, based on AMVA panel. It is a full HD display with very good quality.

Yes Cilus, i have been looking at other threads for theirs suggestion
for the monitor even i was thinking for that one only , but isn't that one has very glossy screen ,i want matte screen
Dell 21.5 inch LED - S2240L Monitor: Flipkart.com
if you can suggest me something similar to what you suggested (very good monitor that is ) but not glossy that'll be really helpful

Hai,

You can buy from Arun Computers at Chenoy Trade Center(CTC),Parklane,Secunderabad. Just ask for Mr.Raghu (9849457428) in Arun give him your configuration and tell that sunil has sent you.Ok.He will give you very good price compared to others as I have bought from him in May,2012 for 61k.I also referred 2 other TDF members to him who have bought good RIGs for lesser prices in whole of CTC.Ok.By the way Arun Computers email-id:arun.computers@gmail.com

@Cilus i looked at the specs for GW2250hm & they are pretty good but i don't have much trust for that brand, can you suggest me some other option also (dell,assus,etc..)
i'll be using it mostly for gaming & movies (sometimes content editing also but very rare) the budget is around 10K (i can stretch it 2-3k more if its that good)

Then I can't help much. Buddy, come out of thw world where every other companies apart from the big fishes are bad. BenQ is producing some quality displays for a long time. A lot of forum members are having BenQ display. At your budget, there is no better display available

For KB
Corsair K90 - Mechanical KB but expensive.
Logitech G510 - Non- Mechanical KB but budget friendly.

Mice - If Palm grip
Logitech G300 or Logitech G400
If Claw grip
Corsair M60

As for BenQ, I can vouch that they are pretty good for ASS also because I have done a RMA and they replaced my monitor having just one stuck pixel. :)

thanks for all of your replies.i was just avoiding benQ because i or any of my friends didn't have any experience with it but now when all of you guys saying its good & BenQ GW2250hm is the best one i can get for the budget (around 10k i am gonna go for it ) i am gonna go for it,If you have any other suggestions also please let me know.
And for keyboard & mouse i am looking for something in a budget under 5k (keyboard + mouse)
i am gonna buy these most probably this weekend
