I have a Intel dual core CPU E2180 @ 2.0ghz on an Intel board dg31pr, its really old.
my graphics card is 9400gt and i have a local power supply which provides 450 watts of power.
I have a Seagate 1tb hdd. I really want to buy a new pc and i have 50,000 Indian rupees (800usd).
But i was thinking maybe i should wait 1 more year since pc component prices are really high now. and instead buy following components and suffice:

1.Corsair 450watts VS450
2.WD 1 tb hdd
3.GTS 450 gddr3/HD6670 gddr5

Thoughts???

PS: Please don't say PC component prices are not high since when i bought my seagate hdd 2 years back it was 3000 INR , after the floods it really went up and now its coming down and is at 4500 INR but not really down.

This is What i want to buy for a new System:

Intel Core i5 3570K 3.4 GHz
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard
Cooler Master Thunder 600 Watts PSU
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB Ram
HD 7770 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
WD Caviar Green 3 TB
Samsung 840 Series 120 GB SSD
Dell U2312HM Monitor

This Adds to more than MY budget.
Especially Since the i5 3570 costs 17k INR Which is almost the same as 4670k, i dont even get the idea behind that!!!!

What i want to know is, will these prices come down to normal in the next few months or should i invest my money for 1 year and get the system with added interests as well?

No one can accurately predict prices or market trends.
But here's one thing i can tell you.

The monitor you intend on buying is 1080p. You won't be able to run many games with a 7770 on that resolution.

I would get a 2 tb hard drive and try to get a 7790 minimum. A 7850 would be even better.

I know you need a lot of space, but for a gaming PC, it is more essential you enjoy the game. So even if you have to get 2 TB HDD it would be okay at the cost of better GPU.

Another thing, you can get a Corsair Force GT 120 gb perhaps cheaper and go for 7850 Maybe.

I guarantee you won't regret those decisions when the GPU is much stronger and much more capable to play games at FULL HD resolution.
