I have a budget of up to Rs. 50000/- or 790USD.
Everything included, ie. the monitor, and cabinet, etc.

1 Processor: AMD 4 GHz AM3+ FX-4300 4-Core Edition FD4300WMHKBOX
2 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 Motherboard
3 RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10)

6 Hard Drive: WD Caviar Green 1 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (WD10EZRX)
7 Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224BB DVD Burner Internal Optical Drive
8 Graphics Card: Gigabyte AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 2 GB DDR3 GV-R667D3-2GI Graphics Card

Your second revision of the rig is much better, but you need to get at least a 7200rpm hdd for your primary, that green drive is known to fail because of a problem with all the green drives of "head parking". There's a way to fix it I found online, but, the hdd will still be pretty slow, and from reading on and off again over time on various forums, they say 5400rpm hdd can actually cause lag stutters in certain games, take that for what it's worth.

by default the green hdd parks every 3 secs or something and it wears it out, that's why on newegg,etc. green hdd's get pretty bad reviews, hardly anybody knows you can change the amount of time it parks apparently.

Yes it is a good gaming pc for your budget, although it may not run many games on ultra quality, you may have some well costxbenefit out of it. Depending on the resolution and game you want to run you'll have it running at 60 fps.

i'd recommend a better gpu, something like an amd 7770 or 7790 if it's within budget, if you need to trim money for that i would cut the soundcard and get 4gb of ram (most games don't use more than 4 anyways). other than that solid build!

I definitely suggest cutting back a bit on the ram and upgrade the GPU and CPU to the 7770 and the AMD FX-6300
I just brought my build and I don't regret getting these parts, definitely the way to go on a budget

Okay, so I made a few changes;

1 Processor: AMD AM3+ FX-6300
2 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Motherboard
3 RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB PC RAM
4 PSU: Corsair VS550 550 Watt PSU
5 Cabinet: Cooler Master Elite 430 Black/ Antec X1
6 Hard Drive: WD Caviar Green 1 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (WD10EZRX)
7 Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224BB DVD Burner Internal Optical Drive
8 Graphics Card: Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 1 GB GDDR5
10 Cabinet Cooler: Cooler Master JetFlo Blue 120 mm Cooler
11 Processor Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO

I figured I can still use my old display monitor. It is a basic LCD screen. Or should I upgrade to another screen that costs about a 100USD. BenQ 21.5 Full HD 3000:1 contrast LED backlit LCD

Can someone also please tell me if there can be any possible issues? [Of course those other than faulty hardware.]

Imho it is a good budget rig :) You can easily play at most title with few graphic compromises :)

No issues, go ahead without problems :) As monitor take what you like, full hd is a good resolution for your new pc

Well done

p.s. only one thing, HDD you choise is a 5400rpm, a little bit slower for kepp an operative system. Try to go, at least, with a 7200rpm or a hybrid SSHD :)
