I suggest you build rather than buy a PC. You will get much more for your money and virtually everybody on this board will help you if you ask. There is no way to guarantee longevity especially for gaming. If I had to guess I would say 4 years on any given machine was extreme for cutting edge games running on high.

Can you tell us an equivalent in a more familiar currency like dollars, pounds or euros? Also where do you live and who do you typically buy computer stuff from. it wouldn't do any good to recommend a lot of stuff not available to you.

Hey..!!
I live in India.
I have been not very much involved in buying things online.
Also I dont shop from amazon or any other site.
Also.
roughly conversion would be around 800$.
And Earlier also i tried to ask the configuration in dollars,but due to the import taxes the prices gets raised and the equivalent conversion does not work as such.

Sorry but I don't know how to factor in import taxes. Without having a budget it's difficult to make part suggestions. There are articles published monthly on this site suggesting builds as inexpensive as $500 that game very well. I suggest you start there.

Okay.
Lemme Ask it like another way.
I asked on some other forum and they suggested me this configuration.
Cpu-Intel Core i5 3450
Motherboard-Gigabyte B75m-D3h
Ram-GSkill RipjawsX-2*4 GB
Hard Disk-WD Caviar Blue 1 TB
Cabby-Antec V1
Graphics Card-Zotac/MSI/GalaxyGTX760 2GB
Power Supply Unit-Seasonic ECO 500
Dvd Writer-Asus 24xDVD RW
Monitor-Dell IN2030M 20"....

So,they suggested me the above configuration and it costs like around Rupees 55,000 here in India.
So what do u say about it?
Is this configuration good enough?

It's not bad assuming you never want to over clock the CPU. For a little more you can have an over clockable CPU if you ever need it. I know nothing about the case but I would probably get a slightly larger PSU. I'd also get a bigger monitor but I can afford it.

I'm no fan of over clocking. However, I think you should at least consider the possibility that you might need to do in the future to keep up with then current games.

My personal favorite memory is Crucial Ballistik.

Seasonic PSUs are high quality but I like to overspec PSUs as insurance so bigger is better. It won't cost any more to run.

Monitors are kind of personal things. Personally, I've been using TVs for several years and am quite happy. Bigger is nearly always better with monitors. If you're going to be using your monitor on a desktop 32" is about the limit before the pixels start to show but it must be 1080p. Games are always more fun on bigger monitors. I don't know how or why people even attempt to play on portables.

I Dont Know..
Actually m nt at all interested in overclocking.
But still,when ur saying,i would consider it.
So now,would u suggest me ghe new configuration with the changes u would likd to make.
Also it would be better if u suggest it in two forms like one with overclocking ability nd other without overclocking.

The only thing you would need to change initially is the CPU. Here is what I would recommend.

You'll need to see for yourself if it's available in India. If/when you decide to overclock you should change the HSF to something more capable. Not a major investment, probably under $50 for a HSF.
