All graphics cards will fit. Install RAM first and close locking tab.
All Core i3/i5 CPUs 2xxx CPUs above 3.0Ghz are fine for upcoming games.
Get the best graphics card your budget allows even if you need to go with a Core i3 CPU.

Just for a wonder; why no BIostar?

MSi GTX560Ti Twin FrozrII/OC 1gb or if you can afford the 2GB, for PSU go get some seasonic 500w-600W it should be more than enough for your gaming needs right now, but i do suggest an upgrade in 3-4 years or unless there is any game you can't play at high or mid settings, then yes go for an upgrade

 

[Linguo_bastardo]

For a budget gaming build, gpu > cpu. So, i'd suggest the gtx 560 ti and i3 2100 if possible.

I don't think the OPs budget will cover a Core i5 / GTX 560 / premium PSU.
And Im not sure he needs that for a 1024x768 res monitor.

Why not have a look at the budget build from tom's system marathon?

Uses the same CPU you want, it's a little over budget but it scored well in the benchmarks. Perhaps downgrade to I3 to cut the cost down somewhat?

In India Biostar customer support is very bad.

My friends told me that in 2013 all games need quad core processor.
If it's a rumor then definitely I go for I3.

At your resolution you could probably game on the Intel HD 3000...

no he couldn't; i have the same resolution and a 9500 gt, which is better than hd 3000, and i have to put most of my games on low, except for a few things like sc2.
so no, he would definitely want a discrete card, especially if he gets a new monitor

 

[Tavo_Nova]

he should just get some 512mb nvidia card, that should work at his resolution no doubt
