I still have time till 13th Jan for buying the new gaming rig. I was thinking of buying a PS3 instead of a GPU as I already own a LG 42inch LED. Another option is that I buy both of them by cutting the cost in the rig components. I know that PS3 games are expensive but I can invest money in PS3 games every month. What would you guys suggest?

What advantage will a PS3 have over a gaming PC? Of course other than exclusive titles. Even a PC can be hooked up to that TV.

Don't you think that this is a very short answer?

That short answer is enough,anyways - For long run pc is better option then PS3 as you can game with Higher Fps,Higher texture quality,Large numbers of players in multiplayer on large maps + your native true resolution you set can be used (whereas in PS3 most games run @30fps at 720p) + you can use AA for smooth edges + you can mod games + Much more visual options you get.Most important is In long run you save more money as Pc games are cheap as compared to PS3 - Pc games- you can get from rs 500 - 2000 from steam/origin whereas PS3 game costs from 3-4k.In Pc you can do many other work other than gaming,but PS3 Can't.You can easily upgrade Pc anytime,but you cannot upgrade PS3 harware :)

I was thinking for ps3 because of better offline multi player games to play with friends. Anyway, I think you all are right. PS3 is not worth it in the current scenario. I will go with the PC Gaming Rig.

Ashish, I have extended my budget by 10K. What would you say about this config? Does it need any changes?

FX 6300 @ 7.5K
Asus M5A97 LE @ 5.5K
Kingston 8GB Hyper Blue 1600mhz @ 4.6K
ZOTAC GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB @ 12.6K
Antec VP450P @ 2.7K
Asus 24B5ST DVD-RW @ 1.1K
NZXT Gamma @ 2.3K
Dell S2240L @ 8.7K

Total: 45K

Instead of Asus M5A97 LE MB its better to go for any Gigabyte or MSI MB's because that entry level MB is not at all good for OCing.The best I can see is Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 or MSi 970A-G43 which are good overclockers but MSI northbridge heats up some what due to no NB heatsink.OK.

PC is a multi-purpose machine but PS3 or XBox One are only used for games,browsing and movies.

I have finalized on a new rig after saving some more money. Any modifications needed?

Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2 @ 15K
Gigabyte B75M-D3H @ 4.6K
Kingston 8GB Hyper Blue 1600mhz @ 4.7K
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB @ 6.8K
HIS R9 270X ICEQ X2 Boost 2GB DDR5 @ 15.6K
Seasonic S12II 520W @ 4.2K
Asus 24B5ST DVD-RW @ 1.1K
Betfenix Merc Alpha @ 2.8K
Dell S2240L @ 8.6K
Logitech G400 @ 2K
Sennheiser HD 202 II @ 2K

Total: 67.4K - 6K (Old Rig) = 61.4K

Its better to go with v3 version of Intel Xeon (Haswell Chipset) and a good B85 MB of which both cost around 15.9k + 6k.I mean this MB has more SATA3 ports than a H77 or H75 MB.
