Thnx Jas :)

Some doubts - If I extend my budget by 5k, then -

1. AMD Phenom II X4 970 BE or Intel Core i5 2320 or some other better choice?

2. Gigabyte GA-880GM-D2H (rev. 3.1) or Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3 (rev. 3.1) or some other better choice?

3. MSI R6850 Cyclone PE/OC or Sapphire HD6870 or some other better choice?

Guys, i know, not the right place to post, but still, didnt want to make another topic..I want a gaming keyboard+mouse, my combined budget is rs 3000, suggest me one. If possible, i want my keyboard not to be of very high end, backlit will be good, but i like this mouse..

Flipkart.com: Tt eSPORTS Black Gaming Mouse: Mouse

If i go for this mouse, will get a keyboard with backlight for rest of my money, if needed, i might extend my budget to some extent....please help :D

Actually price of the UPS has been increased. You can get the 800 VA Intex UPS around 2K. Just searched Bhubaneswar Computer Market to find it and got the price for my Room Mate's build. It is providing around 20 min + back up with [Phenom II 955 + 4GB XMS3 + GTX 260 + MSI 890GXM-GD65] woith Photoshop processing going on [CPU usage more than 80%]. Comes with 2 Yrs of warranty on the UPS but 1 year for the battery.
