Processor - Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 Ghz Q6600
MOtherBoard- Gigabyte GA-73VM-S2
RAM- 2 x 1GB Corsair DDr2 800MHz
Graphics - Palit 9600GSO 384MB/ 9600GT 512MB
Hard Disk - Seagate/ Maxtor 320GB
DVD Drive - Lite ON Scribe 20x
Keyboard & Mice Microsoft Wireless 1000
Wrless Adapter- Linksys WMP54GS Wireless-G
Cabinet - Zebronics Bijli w/o PSU / CM 690
SMPS - Cooler Master 460W/ POV 500W
Speakers - Altec Lansing VS3251E
MoNitor - 19 " DELL

Is my config ok? Is PSU enough? I may go for 9600GT and CM690 only if i have enough money left. My budget is about 45k.
Mobo supports only 1.8V Ram. But the ram i opted for are 1.9v. Are these out of option or the voltage can be modified?
My pc is going to be on for long hours and im expecting a very stable system.

1) MSI and Abit have better options. Go for SLI boards.
2) Go for Logitech wireless. more reliable than MS. For gaming stay away from wireless. Get TVSE keyboard with Logitech laser mouse. or Logitech optical desktop and Logitech gamepad.
3) get Dell 198WFP and stay away from 1908WFP.

Rest looks good. Pick 9600GT over 9600GSO. If you can add more, get 8800GT. Stay away from XFX.

Cabinet = Cooler MAster Elite 330.will cost 1.5k but worth it.u r getting a quad.u need better airflow or u end up with proccy overheating.
CM 460W - 1900 rupees.dont get POV
19" dell - the one desibond mentioned
Q6600 - 9500 rupees
Hard Drive- DOnt get Seagate/MAxtor.go for WD 640GB AAKS which costs 4200 rupees.
RAm- Corsair Value. 2*1gb for 2k
DVD writer- SAmsung .Liteon performs good but their service is poor.
Gfx Card- MSI 9600GT for 9000rupees
Motherboard - Abit IP35 E..now the main thing- MSI P7N SLi platinum costs 8.5k but u wont be getting the speakers within ur budget then.so decide. MSI P7N is better coz u can add gfx card later and it has great overclocking ability.

Go with this eyes closed.
Ur overall budget is good.

I need the speakers man but i will ditch the wireless keyboard and mouse thanks.
IS CM 460W good enough.
Yea every1's telling me the mobo sucks. I dont need an SLI mobo at least for now. I need a cheap one. Any cheaper options than Abit IP35?

Abit IP35 costs 5k man.. u want Quad core on a cheapo board?that makes a poor config.go with ABit IP35 E atleast or the P7N Sli plt.

CM 460W more than good enough coz u wont be SLing.this psu can handle Q6600 , a gfx card , 4 hdds and 2 dvd writers.i had it before siwtching over to SLi.

wireless kb is good for a HTPC rig.for the rest its just a showpiece.coz u gonna sit pretty close to ur 19" even a wired kb wont cause any inconvenience.

make sure u get rest of the parts right, esp the cabinet.

Cool thanks a lot. Will look at IP 35 itself.
What about RAM? Is value Ram as mentioned above good enough for gaming?
And i the linksys adapter is compatible with the mobo right?

well if u can extend ur budget a little bit i'd suggest going for Gskill 2GBHK low latency rams.cost=3500 and they rock.
whre are u from btw?coz these rams have limited availability.
