What motherboard do you have? Intel or AMD? Which model?

Regarding the PSU, what GPU do you have?

EDIT: Please post your current specs. Complete specs.

One more guy who thinks cabinet and CPU are same thing I guess :facepalm:

OMG yes. How did I miss that? :shock:

Use the current HDD and optical drive.

^^ Nice one indeed.

Intel Pentium G620 @ 3.2K (Check theitwares)
Biostar H61M chipset Mobo @ 3K (Check flipkart)
Corsair 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 @ 1.1K
MSI HD 6770 1GB GDDR5 @ 6.2K (Check smcinternational.in)
Corsair CX 430 V2 @ 2.2K
Zebronics Bijli w/o PSU @ 1.4K
UPS @ 1.2K

Total: 18.3K. Just updated Gaurav's suggestion with the latest price. Request to all of you: Try to put the updated prices of the components from the sites like smcinternational, theitwares, primeabgb etc, don't blindly follow the hardware prices and PC Building guide here. It needs to be updated.

Yes, HD 6770 is priced quite high in his config. BTW the GIGABYTE GA-H61M-D2-B3 would be a better choice IMO?
Even some MSI and Biostart H61 models are available for 2.8k.
