I finally had decided and purchased a monitor which is the BenQ EW2440L . And I have to say I have made a good choice in choosing this VA monitor which includes a lot of features which I hadn't taught about. It also came with a Display Pilot software which installs a driver to my computer in order to monitor and adjust/tweak its display settings. Indeed I got this monitor in a great deal at amazon.in for about Rs 10,000 INR.
Thanks for all your support friends, and sorry for disappointing your suggestions. Indeed without your suggestions I wouldn't have learned so much about Display Monitors:)

Mouse: Long-time Razer user. Switched over to Logitech G502. You will NOT regret this decision.
Keyboard: Long-time Das user (back when Das was good, circa 2012). Switched over to Logitech G710+. The brown switches with the Logitech o-rings are very smooth for typing, I am enjoying the tactility of this keyboard more than the Das I owned previously. The extra macro buttons, I haven't gotten around to using yet, but the volume scroll and mute feature on the keyboard are enough of a bonus for me.

I got my G502 on sale for $55 CAD, regular price $99. G710+ for $99 CAD, regular price $179. Both brand new, on sale, from a retail store through price match.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have to say that those are really un-affordable by me. And there is really no necessary for me to own such costly ones. The main thing I am concentration on is the Backlight with good durability. So those aren't mine.;)
 
Personally I use: 6Gv2 | SteelSeries

and for a mouse: Kinzu v3 Mouse | SteelSeries

I like the steelseries stuff, it's tough and takes a beating.

I learned to type and composed my first year uni papers on an old manual typewriter, so I still pound keyboards mercilessly.

I really recommend getting a good mechanical keyboard instead of a cheap membrane keyboard if you can find a good deal. they last far longer and you can replace parts =) www.wasdkeyboards.com as an example. I wore out my W key so ordered a replacement instead of having to buy a new keyboard.

Only you can know what kind of mouse and keyboard you most desire. I'd recommend personally trying as many as you can before deciding. There's a lot of different design philosophies.
 
Monitors: I'd prefer a IPS now, since it has a wider viewing angle (if you watch movies / use your monitor as a TV). If you want gaming, classic TN monitors: cheap, higher frequencies and response times.

TBH I've went in circles on hardware, but Logitech is the best IMO. Damn mouse refuses to die even after 4 years! :p

I love the new keyboard from Razer, it's got laptop style buttons. I'd my eyes on this keyboard for a while: Amazon.com: Logitech G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Tactile High-Speed Keys - Cherry MX Brown: Computers & Accessories

UPS: APC BX600CI-IN Back-UPS 600 VA, 230V: Amazon.in: Electronics

Hello every one. I have to say that that the monitor I bought was though Brand New and Genuine, It had a problem with the Light Diffuser and it generated itself 3-4 white spots(AKA Cloud Spots). So I returned the monitor and demanded for the refund, they have refunded me the money. Now this makes me continue my quest on searching for a monitor again. This time I have decided to go for a 22 inch, because I felt that 24 inch was very huge for me and hence came up with this decision. So I am again planning to go with the LG one's i.e
LG 23MP47HQ: LED Computer Monitor | LG Electronics IN
if I wanted a little bigger monitor or
LG 22MP56HQ: IPS Computer Monitor | LG India.
What would be your opinion?

23 inch is a pretty good middle ground. 21.5 inch is a little too small, in my opinion. I've got a 21.5 inch LG sitting on the floor right now, actually. Personally, if you thought the 24 inch was a little too big, I think 23 inch is a good compromise without accidentally going too small with the 21.5.

Also note, the 21.5 inch model has one major difference aside from the screen size;

It's ugly.

So now as u all know I am looking for a good keyboard. I would like to know whether it would be a wise decision for choosing Mechanical Gaming Keyboard or a Normal Gaming Keyboard with Backlight, or a Wireless Keyboard? Please let me know your suggestion as I have about 60$ to spend for the same. If not what other component I can invest with, shall I go with a cabinet?
 
I am now seeking for a cabinet for my future machine, can anynone suggest me a 50-80$ cabinet?
 
Corsair 200R is pretty decent choice, could be found for 55$
NZXT S340 is the best for ~80 bucks
Cooler Master HAF 912 is owned by friend of mine and it's OK case also
