So for now, my config looks like:
AMD X2 4800+.........3475 rs
ATI690G.................2975 Rs
1GB DDR2 800 x 2......2000Rs
Seagate 320GB - SATA 16mb/Baracuda 7200.......3250 Rs

iBall or Antec with 400W SMPS and 92 mm fan.....rs 1500

total comes to around 13000
Avoid Zebronics. Personally I dont have any experience, but one friend of mine had to replace 2 SMPS of Zebronics. The second one was lost today. He called me up and we realized the problem. This time its going to be iBall.

if you can afford, get the antec , else i suppose the iball ( or look for VIP or Powersafe- they are equally good )
If you read carefully, I am presently running iBalll 400W SMPS and I had ISSUSES WITH INTEX SMPS, NOT IBALL. IBALL IS WORKING FINE WITH MY SETUP THAT DOES CONSIST OF ONE DEDICATED GRAPHICS CARD.

iBall is, I believe the best option for madbullram. I believe that you meant the same from above post.

One more stupid question...do I have to buy a USB port seperately or it comes with the motherboard?
Generally there are four USB ports at the back of motherboard in I/O back panel. Just for information, the chipset of your setup will mostly support upto 8/10 USB connections.

But when you decide on the cabinet, be sure to have atleast 2 USB front ports along with front audio ports. There are some really cheap cabinets avaiable that skip giving these front USB and Audio ports. Well just avoid them. You will really appreciate the convience of front USB and Audio ports.
