Hi,

Need to buy a new PC for brother who is into gaming, graphic editing, programming etc. here is questionnaire:

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: COD:Ghosts, GTA 5, Crysis 3, Farcry 3, Dead Space 3, Batman, NFS Series, Bioshock Series
Adobe Photoshop
Video Editing
Various SDKs, VB2013

Ans: Win 7 / 8

5. How much hard drive space is needed?

Ans: I want to build from scratch

Ans: within next week

Instead of NZXT Gamma you can go for Antec V1 (2.6k) or Coolermaster N200 (3k). I personally don't like the looks of nzxt gamma. :)

i have the X1.:p
a good cable management with a good capable cabinet cable mgmt1.jpg

very low cost cabby with no cable management holes at all and hence managing cables is very difficult.antec v1 will be little better. but a cabby with cable better and very good management option are available at little higher or less cost. so i dont suggest v1 ;-) anyway it depends on the buyer whether he wants looks or performance FXOYQ50GRFN21IO.LARGE.jpg

Change that PSU to an Antec VP450P, The Cabinet to a Antec NSK4400. If you send a bit extra you can get the HD7770.

Cabinet - Buy Online Antec NSK4400 ATX Cabinet With 120mm Fan (With Out PSU) in india

My suggestion :

Get antec vp 450p and antec cabinet as told by incinerator

Get hd 7770 minimum @ rs 8200

Get Wd cavier Blue 500gb @ 3.2k instead of seagate

If possible add rs 800 more and get Del In2030m 20inch led

Logitech Mk200 keyboard & mouse @rs 800
