Well the first thing I would do would be to include a SSD in this build. There's no point in spending $900 if you don't have an SSD, IMO.

Also you should fill out the generic questionnaire regarding building/buying a system, like what are you going to use it for and if you game or not.

So, I had around $925 (minus) extra for the increase in price when you convert US prices to Indian currency as hardware is usually more expensive here.

This is what I came up with:

http://www.flipkart.com/wishlist/ish.xcore-5207

The prices at the local store are supposed to be cheaper as well.

CASE: NZXT Apollo (if I don't get this, I'll probably go for the BitFenix Merc Alpha)
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H
CPU: Intel i3-3220
RAM: G.Skill RipjawX 8GB
GRAPHIC CARD: Gigabyte GV-R785OC-2GD
HDD: Seagate Barracude 1TB
PSU: Corsair VS550
MONITOR: Dell S2240L 21.5 inch IPS
MOUSE: Logitech G100
KEYBOARD: Logitech K200 Keyboard

Any suggestions on further reducing price without hurting the performance. I want the best price to performance ration.

Thanks, guys.
