INTEL
Intel Core i5 – 750 = Rs. 10,100
Gigabyte GA-H55M-USB3 = Rs. 7,350
2GB DDR3 Kingston = Rs. 2,500
500GB*2 Seagate HDD = Rs. 4,050
MSI ATI 5770 1GB = Rs. 10,000
Dell 2410ST = Rs. 12,000
Corsair CX400W or VX450W = Rs. 3,000 / Rs. 3,800
Zebronics Multimedia Keyboard and Optical Mouse = Rs. 350
Cabinet CM elite 310 = Rs. 1,500
TOTAL = Rs. 50,850 (400W) / 51,650 (450W)
AMD
AMD PHENOM 1055T = Rs. 10,200
Gigabyte MA78GMT-USB3 = Rs. 5,850
2GB DDR3 Kingston = Rs. 2,500
500GB Seagate HDD*2 = Rs. 4,050
MSI ATI 5770 1GB = Rs. 10,000
Dell 2410ST = Rs. 12,000
Corsair CX400W or VX450W = Rs. 3,000 / Rs. 3,800
Zebronics Multimedia Keyboard and Optical Mouse = Rs. 350
Cabinet CM elite 310 = Rs. 1,500
TOTAL = Rs. 49,450 (400W) / 50,250 (450W)
These prices are approximate. I am sure you will get most of the components for lesser price.

^^ looks good.
@OP, go with the AMD one. if the config crossing your budget, get the VX450W. and for mobo get 785G-880G based. rest keep everything same.
well..
but nobody suggest Asus MB.. actually i have planned to buy Asus Motherboard (AMD+Nvidia platform) as most reviews stats asus is one of the reliable brand with lots of features..
Any specific reasons for not suggesting Asus?
Also i would like to invest more money to Motherboard than processor. so any other premium boards available in Gigabyte /Asus.?
actually reviews are the trailers. they always feels exciting. but your get the real experience once you watch the movie (buy the mobo & waste your hard earned money on it). only than you you know if its a hit or a flop. so take your step carefully. visit newegg & read user reviews on the mobo you want to buy. should give you an early idea of what to expect.
^+1
absolutely.
if u like asus, just shoot for premium boards.12K+
they are really good , but honestly the lower boards are craps.simply craps.....
i own the gigabyte board , its north bridge is really getting hot ! really hot.....it was 7k approx.but now i m thinking either buy below 5k or buy above 12k.....
