Couldn't you have just linked that? Like this? http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=18613231 That link should work for everyone.
Sherlock:
Inclusive of twin fans and the cooler, along with the power supply, My cousin has an estimate of around 42000INR [converted~765$]. That seems still overkill to me, though I haven't yet checked the make of the fan/power-supply and the GPU in his build. Need to check that motherboard and cooler too. Only things that I could gather before he went off were core i5 3570K, G.Skill 8GB, and WD 1TB Internal and an external inverter with a battery backup of around 15 minutes[needed since power outages seems to be the norm here].
I'm just thankful I don't have to factor monitor and other peripherals' cost here. That would have shot up the budget.
Edit: Again, it's the graphics card that shooting it up in your list, Tatsujin. I'll go tomorrow to check if I can get any cheaper deals from local traders.

Haha yeah I worked my ass off for a whole summer to afford my desktop. Figured if I was going to get one, might as well get a powerful one. Worked lots of over time but well worth it though in my opinion :P

I've to begin my articleship anyhow in at the max 6 months after the institute determines the results. A year into that, with overtime maybe, and I should be able to afford a decent graphics card, at the very least.

The backup battery is an awesome safety measure. I have one from 2008 and I can't express how many times this thing saved my computers. Only hook up the the computer and monitor to the back up plugs, let everything else be plugged in one of the surge protectors.
I need to get a second backup battery for my externals.

Speaking of backup batteries, the latest Ars God Box has a fucking UPS... mfw when I saw that...
Sherlock:
UPS are so necessary over here;; Frequent unscheduled power outages, and infrequent voltage fluctuations :\ I'm getting one for around 55$ - should give around 15-20 minutes of backup, more than enough to close anything running, save and shut-down. If I was still using Windows back when my old UPS crashed, I would have been a goner, completely.
Although, I may have to work overtime here for the next month to afford the extra ~6000INR overall increase though.
