Hi, This is my first post so let me know If I need to provide more inputs in this post for you guys to help me decide the build.
I will be upgrading my decade old P4 system. I can re-use acer lcd monitor (1280*1020) with VGA input, 2 HDD (1TB WD Green 64Mb cache + 500GB WD Blue 16 MB cache), Logitech USB keyboard and mice and Samsung DVD Dual layer writer. Win 7 os installed on WD blue and 1Tb is being used for data.

After going through numerous threads in this forum and visiting local dealers to get the price, I have selected few components and need confirmation on the build along with few suggestions. I found RAM prices to be more than online sellers and only Antec X1-T cabinet is available with USB 3.0 and rest are all chinese (Intex/Iball/Zebronics/Umax)

Components --> Price (from local dealers)
Processor - core i5 4440 --> Rs. 11,200.00
(I can also get Core i5 4590 for Rs. 13200.00)
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA B85M-D3H --> Rs. 5670.00
(Only Gigabyte is preferred by local vendors because of the service Gigabyte provides. )
RAM 4GB Zion --> Rs. 2300.00 (Only Corsair is available for Rs.3000.00. So I may opt for online for RAM)
GPU - Asus GTX 750 Ti --> Rs. 11200.00 (Only Asus available and the cheapest. Not sure if its OC card)
Cabinet - Antec X1-T --> Rs. 2900. (I don't have any other option. So I am open to online esp. Snapdeal for other varieties for 4k INR)
PSU - Antec BP450PS 450W - Rs. 2250.00
        - Antec VP500PC 500W - Rs. 3200.00
        - Antec VP550P 550W - Rs. 3600.00
(Which PSU to choose, I was thinking of 500W one - dual rail )
As the title said, I need a config from this list of components. You may refer to online sites Snapdeal/Flipkart/Amazon but the item should be shippable to my place - Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India

Thanks,
Rajendra

great choice of components, i think you are a very value oriented person

i would
a) add 4gb more ram just to use the dual channel architecture
b) consider cooler master N series cabinets, since they are also in the same price range, and add some fans for better exhaust
c) consider corsair cx series psus, for they get feedback

ps: your build and mine is more similar than different, that's how i know you care for money

Go with the cheapest i5 4xxx cpu, unless the next fastest one is really close in price. Corsair CX series have poor components, I would stay with the Antec PSU's. The GTX 750ti doesn't need much PSU, so the 450w is enough, but that will limit you on future upgrades. The 550w would be my pick. Cases, I am certain you can get Corsair cases, like the Spec-01 from theitdepot.com. Snapdeal and flipkart might have some options as well.

I would go with the i5 4460, the benchmarks show better performance for gaming, as well as simple rendering. I beleive theres not a big price difference. And for Ram, 8gb is pretty much standard, I agree with Half life dual channel should be takem advantage of with this mobo I suggest getting 2 at 4gb, they are aroumd 50 for ripjaws wich are great for budget builds

Hey. Friend I will suggest u to go with r9 270x instead of gtx750ti I know its more costlier than gtx 750ti but that has very good for performance for money compared to gtx 750ti and change ur psu to corsiar vs550w it costs about rs.3200 in flipkart and ur sys will rock and as I can see ur components are good good luck..
