good configuration given by Pathiks. make sure you buy 17" flat monitor.

once you finalise your list, get final prices of all parts.
add total and compare total prices with the price of local assembler/shop.
if you find that prices are nearly equal then buy from them as you will get one year warranty from them.
(shop keeper always charges premium prices from end user. if your couldn't find proper delear then you might also end up paying higher prices by assembling yourself than local delear.)

also check and compare prices of your with "zenith" core 2 duo pc with lcd monitor.
