I'll definitely check for international warranty before making the decision.

Found Gigabyte GTX 770 OC edition with Windforce for $400. I checked the benchmarks and it performs better than the 7970 Ghz edition. What do you guys think?

Here's the link to the product page on newegg - Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-2GD GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready Video Card

Why do I need more VRAM? As far as I know it's usedful in a multi-monitor setup. Am I missing something?

more and more games have started using more V ram.In the future,you will need more V ram to play games in full glory with high AA and AF in full HD(or at 2500X1600 resolution) with full details.For that,I think 2GB v ram wont be enough.

Do you mean these two?

Just out of curiosity, why not the Sapphire 7970 OC With Boost 3GB for 19,600? Sure, I sacrifice a bit of power, but save almost 4k (with which I can invest in an SSD).

Hi guys, due to an unexpected budget cut I've had to make a few compromises and revise my configuration. Would really appreciate your feedback on this revised version -

AMD FX 8350 4GHz @ 12k
Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 @ 7K
GSkill RipjawX 8GB X 1 1600 MHz CL10 @ 4.5K
Toshiba/ WB Blue 1TB 7200 RPM HDD @ 3.8K
Corsair 400R Cabinet @ 6.2K
Seasonic s12 620w @rs 5.6k
Nvidea GTX 760 - 18k
Asus 24X SATA Black DVD R/W @ 1K
Wireless keyboard + Mouse - 3k

Total - 61,100 (Exclusive of UPS)

While this is a satisfactory price, i'd like to hear your views on how I can reduce the price further without affecting performance.

Also, I'm in talks with a someone who can get me a Intel Xeon E3-1275 processor at a heavily discounted price. I know that it's a business processor, but how will it fare with games? I did some research online and saw that it compares to the i7-3770.

Flipkart has the mobo for 6.9k right now

ASUS M5A97 Motherboard - ASUS: Flipkart.com

Should I replace the 400R with a cheaper cabinet like NZXT Gamma?

Both are good at their budgets, but FX 8350 >> FX 6300. If you are having budget problems, then get 4 GB ram instead and add another 4 GB later. you can also go with a cheaper cabinet or see if a used 400R is available somewhere.
