Yes! you can use VIP 400W Gold with this configuration!

CABINET: Zebronics Antibiotic (Rs. 2,100)
SMPS: VIP 400W Gold (Rs.850)

Go for HD 5670.For PSU go for FSP Saga II 400W ,Gigabyte 460W or corsair CX 400W.

@ Symbianlover - get NZXT Gamma cabinet @ 2k along with corsair CX 400W/Gigabyte Superb 460W and add Sapphire HD 5670 512MB as the gfx card and don't forget to fill up the above form.

Don't go for WD Green as your primary HDD as it is 5400RPM HDD which will make hard disk intensive tasks slow (Like booting up, copying large files, game & software loading etc.)
Also, don't go for the VIP PSU, better get FSP/gigabyte/corsair

[Symbianlover]

Thanks dude for ur replay.I think a new config for my budget.
My config is-
p-core 2 Quad Q8300(2.5Ghz)
mobo-Msi P45-c51,
ram-2+2 GB DDR3 1333 MHZ Kingston,
gpu-Sapphire Radeon HD5750 1GB,
HDD-Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB,
Monitor-Samsung 2233SW 22" LCD,
SPEAKER-ALTEC LANSING VS2421,
PC CASE-ZEBRONIC ANTIBIOTIC,
PSU-CORSAIR CX400W.
Is it better than 1st time?
Plz replay becoz I want to buy pc soon.

Where/how will you purchase. You open for online purchase. Why a LGA 775 quad..?

[Cool Buddy]

can you mention your budget and your primary requirement please. I think 400W is not enough for 5750. Do mention your budget for a complete & unbiased suggestion

[Sam]

^^ it is enough. a good 400W PSU can support even a HD5770.

[topgear]

Yep, I'm counting on corsair CX400W as the best 400W out there in the market

how much is the CX400?
Why an LGA 775? Get a cheaper motherboard dude, these dont have much resale value now....and i guess your not going to be using all those features too.

cx400 should be 2.8-3k.

and yes going with a core 13/i5 ore even an am3 based rig will be more good.
