Hi .
I wanna purchase new desktop PC. My need is to use basic office, net surfing (not heavy download) and gaming. I need fast PC and upgradation should be possible.

My budget is 30-35k.

Suggest me best configuration to assemble the same.

Athlon II x4 635 @5k
gigabyte 880gm-ud2 @5k(something around that)
G Skill 4GB DDR3 1333 @3.75
Seagate 500 gb @1.7k
Corsair vx550 @4.75k
Benq G2220 @7.5k
logitech keyboard+mouse @0.8k
altec lansing 2.1 speakers @2k(approx)
CM 690 II pure @5k

total around 35k..
NOTE : as u said upgradable therefore i mentioned this PSU and cabinet..coz u will need more power and space for future equipments..
But if u dont wish to upgrade..opt for Nzxt gamma @2k or cm elite 430 @2.7k for cabby and corsair vx 450 at 3.8k and use the money for a low end card..
Btw this mobo has onboard gfx..

Look at the sub 35k build in pc guide nov 2010.
I5 and i7 out of ur budget. Also NZXT GAMMA is sufficient.

they are cheaper & fit in UR BUDGET...

core i5 n i7 are EXPENSIVE & dont fit in UR BUDGET.

also mention wht kind of gaming u want to do...going for a less powerful graphic card than HD 5770 is the only way to get core i5 in ur budget.
