AMD Phenom II X4 quad 955 - 6400
Corsair 4gb ddr3 1333mhz- 2200
WD Caviar blue 500 GB - 1750
DVD LG SATA 22x - 850

Dell 20" LED IN 2020 - 6200

Sapphire HD 5670/5570 512MB -4.7k/4k respectively
^^ Get 5670. Don't get 5570 just to save up 700 bucks.
4GB is enuff for now and you can add up more,
1. If you feel the application needs more memory
2. If you feel you have enough money to throw at ground
thnx @furious_gamer and @piyush for your suggestions.
As my budget is only 30k, I am not adding a GPU right now, I will add a GPU after 3-4 months. I need more RAM because I will be doing a lot of virtualization using Hyper-V.
I have not seen any reviews of Dell 20" LED IN 2020, what u guy's suggest.
Guys please give me your views, I am planning to get the components by today evening.
^^that monitor is good
other variants at same price point are from samsung and Benq
BenQ G2020HD 20" LCD Monitor @ 6.3k
Samsung 2033SW 20" LCD Monitor @ 6.5k
BenQ 22" G2220 FULL HD LCD Monitor @ 7.5k
Dell S2209W 21.5" FULL HD @ 8.6k
Samsung 2233SW 22" FULL HD LD Monitor @ 8.8k
@OP
LOL... Stop thanking for every reply. No need for that.
BTW Go for G2220. Awesome and VFM one.
AFAIK The DELL Monitor's picture quality is far superior than the BenQ one and especially that matters while doing multimedia works.
^^
My friend is using this and TBF i am really surprised by the quality. Don't know about Dell since i haven't seen it or used it, can't comment on that model.
I have read many reviews and discussions and everywhere the DELL has been given more points regarding display quality and its effect in multimedia works
^^different people/sites ->different opinions
^^is it available?
its well and good then
@Trek I don't need a UPS for now
What do you guy's say Corsair XMS3 4GB 1600C9 or G Skill ripjaw 1600, which is VFM.
regarding the display, I am going with Dell IN 2020.
also I am not sure if 1600 MHz memory is supported by GA-880GMA-UD2H or not, Gigabyte's site say that "Support for DDR3 2000(OC)/1333/1066 MHz memory modules". There is no mention of 1600 Mhz, plese throw some light on this.
^^RAM-go for GSkill
monitor-good
both are fine, buy whichever is cheap & readily available to you.
^^
lol...I wil go with trek's advice.
now going to the shop for ordering the components, will post later in the evening about my purchase.
Post it over here, if possible.

@OP, if u are getting a gpu later get a good psu like cx400 or vx450...
@ Trek, sure I will do that
Not ordered the components today, shop owner was not there and the substitute dosen't know anything. so, I have to wait for one more day.
@mailme.manju, what will be the cost of cx400 or vx450. can you help me with that.
cx400 - 2.6k
vx450 - 3.5k
with a vx450 you can even add 6950 2gb version
Is 1600 MHz memory supported by GA-880GMA-UD2H or not. Gigabyte's site say that "Support for DDR3 2000(OC)/1333/1066 MHz memory modules". There is no mention of 1600 Mhz.
Better u go with DELL IN2020M rather than only the IN2020
@OP
GA-880GMA-UD2H will support till 2000MHz. So ur 1600MHz RAM will be OK with that mobo
