Then go for harshil's config. For 50k, that is a very good rig. +1 to it.

:facepalm:
CPU is just the Processor , not the whole thing... I have seen many people calling the parts inside the cabbie as cpu ...

@op: if those accessories aren't the absolute necessities, then get the config I recommended. Webcam, headphones etc can be bought anytime. Just get the wi fi routes now and other things later.
