The option you have suggested for HD is fair, you may go for anyone of them, I will suggest for Seagate HD, there will be a minor different between both.

which is the best 20-22" lcd monitor out there for around 10k, hdmi not necessary

In 20" lcd monitor you may prefer to buy View Sonic should come around 10k

xfx ATI radeon hd 4770/4850..

Go for ATI radeon 4850, am using it and it is working fine. and for the price it should get you within 8,500/-

a cabinet.. lookin at cooler master elite 335 with a 500w psu??

Cooler Master would be the best possible option for your cabinet, and it will come around 6 to 7K, no need to buy separate PSU.

dvd writer, are they all the same?? gettin lg for rs.1100/-, wireless keyboard mouse.. thinkin of logitech

Perfect

otherwise there is No issues, go ahead

thank you for the response

just to be clear on this issue, what wattage of power supply would be required for smooth operation of radeon hd4850/4770.. isn't radeon 4770 a 40nm which means less power usage.

also i know m contradicting myself from the previous post but are expensive psus and cabinets worth the money?
