Re: Low budget good quality PC for trading:-
i forgot to say in earlier post that G2030 is not haswell. So motherboard will be different
Good parts but i diasgree with few points
1) Corsair SMPS CX430 has 3 year warranty. It is worse than seasonic and is more expensive. Most vendors use worse capacitors in cheaper psus which means it will die sooner with heat. Ex look here.
He does not need the extra wattage. If there is a seasonic Eco 300, even that is enough. Only need to support 50-100W on 12v for cpu.
Edit - CX430 Even has lower amps @12v (28 vs 30 for Seasonic ECO 400). 12v amps is the main criteria for power as cpu, gpu use it. So pick Eco 400 over this.
2) Intel i3 3220 (Rs 7000) / Core i5 3450 - We have haswell now, Core iX 4XXXX. Its better, price difference is not much - sometimes its even cheaper. There is no reason to use 3rd generation for i3/i5
3) Monitor. LED is just backlight, its the panel that matters. Get a good IPS panel monitor Full HD or stay with current one. Its not that expensive. I plan to buy this for 8-9k
I have build a low budget good quality system for trading for friends here, which will definitely last longer than high priced branded PC.
I have vast experience in S/W & H/W. Below components have perfect match with each other. I hope below system will help some friends here. Please, don't compromise with SMPS & cabinet.

If you are using Amibroker/Meta Stock/Meta Trader 4 GB Ram is more than enough.
If you are using Nest Plus for Charting you need 8 GB Ram, buy two 4 GB Ram (use exactly same RAM at DIMM1 & DIMM 2 BLUE Slot of your Mother Board).
Use Window 7 Ultimate/Enterprise/Professional 64 Bit only.
Note:- This PC also supports Win 8 & Win 8.1 (U need to download latest driver from Intel Website freely). Use 64 bit OS only for better performances. It is must also for above 4GB Ram .
Use above PC with a good quality UPS [like APC] & with LED Monitor from LG, Samsung etc. Use DVI Cable on Full HD 1080p Monitor for better picture clarity.
If you have little higher budget go for Full HD 1080p 22 inch+ LED monitor (good for Chart Reading).
