as for the mobo and proccy check nov issue of digit, and for grpahics card check the oct issue.

there are very few games for dx10, it will take a long time before games are made for dx10, and longer for dx10.1.

But you are more future proof with a 8800GTS Ultra which is ofcourse a dx10 card.

try to get a SLI. :D

yes..please mention budget.

For RAM, I will suggest stick to DDR2 667 Mhz.
Don't waste money for DDR3 and DDR2 800 MHz.

Rather buy 2X1Gb 667 Mhz RAM from kingston / transend for Rs. 2000/-
