You can get Core i5 4440 @ 12.5K and use the rest of the money to get a R7 265 as suggested.

I just read the review of the R7 265 and I now realize that is going to be a much better option.

So after these suggestions, my build goes like this:

Intel Core i5 4570 : 14000,
SAPPHIRE DUAL-X R7 265 2GB GDDR5 : 12500,
Antec VP450P : 2600,
Gigabyte B85M-D3H : 5500,
Corsair Vengeance 4 GB 1600 MHz : 2600,
Cabinet : 3500 (Corsair Carbide SPEC series or a Circle series, not sure)
TOTAL : 40,000 - 41,000.

I have two Questions:

1.Will the PSU be good enough?
2. Should I spend 1-2k extra on the motherboard? Will only do this if I get much better value for money.

The motherboard is fine, go with it. For Cabinet, stick with Corsair, no point of getting a local cabinet. PSU is okay but if you want then spend 1K more and get the Antec VP550 @ 3.6K.

Thank you all for your suggestions. Really appreciated. :)
That should be pretty much what I'll buy then.

I got one more question. Which is the better B85 motherboard: Gigabyte B85M-D3H or Asus B85M-G?

I searched online and found this : "... definitely go with Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H. It is a lot better then Asus B85M-G. It has more power phases as well as VRM heat sinks, PCI slots for any old PCI device and more audio ports as well as more Fan headers(3 vs 1). "
No idea what that means though.

However, I compared the specs of the two and found these differences:

The Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H has 9 USB slots, 2x SATA3 (more SATA2 though), 1 x PCIe 2.0 x4
The Asus B85M-G has 12 USB slots, 4x SATA3, no PCIe 2.0 x4

Yet they say that the gigabyte one is better. I'm confused.

Get the Gigabyte one. It has two SATA III connectors which can accommodate 4 SATA III 6 Gbps Device and for normal usage, it is more than enough.

Gigabyte New Arrival Motherboard! (GA-B85M-D3H)

Can you tell me where I can find the R9 270 for Rs 13,500 ? The cheapest I could find online was at Flipkart (Rs 14,250 - 15,000)
