I think I wont OC (i5 2500 was just 10$ less). Not that much games, more of programs like photoshop, matlab, and few video editing stuff.

Also the monitor is ViewSonic VX2250wm-LED Black 21.5" 5ms Full HD LED Backlight LCD monitor Slim Design 250 cd/m2 DC 10,000,000:1 (1,000:1) w/Speakers

Please suggest any other options.

That looks good but No gpu? No Dvd drive? Are you going to just be using the onboard graphics

No GPU for now. will buy it in couple of months after checking how well it performs with onboard graphics.

I have an old dvd drive with me.

Alright. Well in that case it will be nice and fast with a nice gpu in there you will be able to run through anything on a good budget too
