I AM NOW PUTTING IN SOME CPU + MOTHERBOARD COMBOS WHICH I GUESS ARE THE MOST RECOMMENDED STUFF HERE ON TE. considering mobo and cpu are priority and graphics is not.
budget 7k - amd 3600x2 + jetway/gigabyte 690g based mother board - onboard graphics included.
budget 10k - e4300 + msi neo2 ( decent oc , no onboard gpu )
budget 10k - amd 4800x2 + jetway / gigabyte 690g ( onboard gpu , jetways a decent overclocker , gigabyte i dont think so, at stock speeds better than intel counter part at same price point on a avg.)
budget 12 k - e4300 + xfx ultra 650i / asus p5ne sli ( latter being more expensive but the xfx having availability issues as of now at some places which i guess will be solved soon) (no onboard gpu) incase a gpu is must one must get the the neo2 + a 7100gs in the budget.
budget 20k - e6600 + xfx 680i ultra / p5b dlx (no onboard gpu) some one planning gpu in same range rather get the e6600 + xfx 650 ultra + 7300gs.
THE 60K RIG OPTIONS
The 60 k Gamers + Performance Without LCD . I have taken a very controversial cabinet The Amigo mentioned is a 3k server cabinet that i saw which i think is very spacious and a good buy for its price. though one can get other good options in the 3k segment also.

if one is strict about the price to be 60k one could get a smaller lcd or drop to a smaller ups or not buy one for the time being.
