Motivation for the rig:
1) Gaming Obviously. Would like to play games for an year or so at high settings. Also work takes up a lot of my time. So its gonna be casual gaming. FIFA and FPS games. Also games like Assasin's Creed and GTA.
2) Will be using a couple of Virtual Machines when developing and using for academic purposes.
3) Also am working in CUDA programming, so i wanted a CUDA card at home to tinker after work. So no radeons.
4) Budget of 1lakh.
5) Might overclock. But not straight out of box.
6) Except GPU/RAM/HDD rest of the rig should be enough for atleast 5 years. Will switch cards after 2 3 years. RAM and HDD can be added along the way.
7) Will want a intel 6th gen processor only to study and work on INTEL SGX technology. so no amds.

Can you guys comment on this rig critically? Are the costs proper? Will it last for 5 years? I will consider overclocking when games start lagging.
Please do keep in mind the budget is fixed at 1lakh. i cant spent anything more. I am in hyderabad.
[EDIT] I ended up asking the same forum way back in 2009 and 2007 when i bought desktops during my college days. Made me all nostalgic.
