E6300 (2MB L2 cache 1.86Ghz 1066MHz FSB) Rs.8900
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 Rs.9000 (Tom's Hardware wale used this)
250 GB SATAII Rs.3400
Kingston 667Mhz 2x1 GB Rs.8000
Zebronics 8800GTS 320MB Rs.19500 (Can I overclock this???)
L.G. 15" CRT 500G Rs.3700 (Saving money here )
16 X L.G. Rs.1600
Creative Inspire 2.1 Rs.1800 (Saving money here too)
Cooler Master 500W SMPS Rs.3200
Zebronics Elegance Cabinet Rs.1550
Microtech 600VA Rs.1800 (Here too )

This adds upto 62450

You guys are a big fan of 8800GTS etc, so which is better: A Zebronics 8800 GTS 320MB or XFX 7900GT 256MB????

Also can I use Kingston 667Mhz RAM(overclocked of course) if I OC my processor to maybe 2.8 or 3.0 GHz???

Next, Will OC the Gigabyte MB give the same performance as the ASUS P5B-Dlx????
change ur CPU to E4300 .. then u can surely hit 3 GHz with ddr2-667 ram .. for a E6300 to hit 3 GHz u'll need ddr2-800 modules ..

About the 8800GTS , the GPU is fine .. but not a 320 MB frame buffer .. even current games like STALKER , CoH etc. etc. fully utilize 512 MB vram , so even though u'll get good fps , ur gameplay will be full of stutters ..

And about the mobo .. get the DS3P .. the performance diff. will hardly be noticeable in actual cases ...
