Help with building a new gaming PC

[sureshkondaveet]

Hey guys,

I am planning to buy a new PC for games and running applications like Photoshop. I am thinking about buying an Intel i5 IVY processor with a Gigabit mother board. I need some help with choosing the right hardware. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. I would need help in choosing a good SSD to run OS, games from and also a cabinet.

My total budge for the PC is about INR 50,000 ($1000).

PS: I already have a Nvidia GTS 250 graphic card. I need to make sure that the MB is compatible with the card.

I really appreciate all your help.

As long as the GTS250 is PCIe then you should be fine. I am cautious on saying 100% you are ok because every now and then you see some of the lower end (like the 250) available in AGP formats.
