Good Gaming Rig under 50,000 INR

[sivaprasanna]

I have an HP pavilion dv6-6140tx Entertainment laptop.But,I'm planning to build a custom Gaming PC and I'm a first time builder.So give me some advice in choosing the best components(Monitor,HDD,Ram,keyboard,Processor,mobo,sound card,Graphics card,cabinet and speaker).

Purpose : Gaming,Browsing and will be using so many software applications(computer engineering student) like Visual Studio,PhotoShop,CorelDRAW,Sql server and Sony Vegas

Budget : Rs.50,000(USD 918)

Components I already have : Genuine windows 7 Ultimate,Mouse and Headphone

Note:Which is best in manufacturing GPU? Nvidia or AMD?.
And I prefer Intel processors.

I left about USD 110 for the speakers and keyboard. I am sure onboard sound on the motherboard should do fine. A decent soundcard would cost about USD 40 if you still want one.
I went with a 7870 due to its better compute performance. Not quite sure if your apps support OpenCl as well though. Also becasue the board only support CF.
I chose the Z77 board since it will support limited overclocking using the turbo multiplier of the 3470. You can push it to 4ghz if you want. By cabinet, you meant case right?
This pricing is for the US

EDIT: Some basic google research seems to indicate the apps either support OpenCl or have no GPU acceleration at all. Maybe someone with more info can help you on this.
Including the sound card you have about USD 70 left for keyboard and speakers

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX600 series has the lead over the AMD Radeon HD6000 and HD7000 series at the moment.

We're not always sure what parts cost in other parts of the world, but if your budget is USD$918 then the base spec most would recommend is similar to the following two systems:

1) http://www.scorptec.com.au/system/161
2) http://www.scorptec.com.au/system/162

Since you'll be gaming on it and performing some tasks that are likely to be GPU accelerated I would lean towards NVIDIA regardless as they tend to lead when it comes to offloading from the CPU in Adobe products.

^Well if CUDA and OpenCL is supported like in Adobe, Nvidia will be faster. If only OpenCL is supported AMD will win.
There is an option for a 660ti but cutting out the soundcard would make even more sense since the 660ti costs a bit more than the 7870

A Rs 50,000 pc in India is more like a 650$ rig in the US..parts are cheaper in the US.

edit: the i5 3470 is 185$ @amazon..on flipkart its Rs 13642..which is about 250 $..its cheaper when you buy it from a retail store but not by much.
