Welcome to TDF! :)

Well...at the lower price points(viz the H67)...Intel provides more bang for the buck compared to Asus (or MSi)....however if its a P67 or Z68...the ASUS or MSI boards are faar better

If you want to make use of INTEL's quick sync feature, an H67 chipset based motherboard is recommended.

Also, Seagate's 500GB HDD performs faster than Blue AFAIk, so go for it.

Rest as said, i5 2400, 4GB RAM

Yeah, go with Saswath's config, as I have also assembled the same system for one of my friends the week before. A small change was the Processor, Core i5 2500. Did not go for Core i5 2500K, as my friend would not overclock.
