Among the three processor you've chosen, Phenom II X4 965 is not available any more and in gaming performance as well as power consumption efficiency, i3 2120 is ahead of FX 4100. So better opt for that.

Intel Core i3 2120 @ 6.9K
Gigabyte B75M-D3H @ 4K
Corsair Value Select 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 @ 1.2K
Cooler Master Elite 311 Cabinet @ 1.9K
Corsair CX 430V2 @ 2.5K
Gigabyte/MSI HD 7850 2GB GDDR5/ GTX 660 (Non Ti) @ 14K/15K

Total: 30.5K/31.5K

I dont see why AMD would phase out the phenoms, there is a huge market for them, even now. Bulldozer is the one which should have been "phased out", sheesh.

^^ You can't rely on an old microarchitecture forever. You've got to move on. If something fails, its not like everything's over. Failure is the pillar of success and it stands true to even this age and day.
Bulldozer's failure will force amd's engineers to the drawing boards and improve upon their mistakes so that future iterations taste success. Same thing happened to intel during their p4 days and look what happened.

Out of nowhere, they build the core microarchitecture and you can see how its performing. You never know, it may happen that steamroller could provide breakthrough performance.

Is Gigabyte MB you suggested is good for i3 2120 or any other better options. Is 7850 2GB overkill for my resolution. I think it will be more futureproof. If i change the Processor to Intel core i3 3220 it will be more good because its 3rd gen. processor. i can extend my budget to 35k now so any few changes...

i am buying core i3 3220 because its 3rd gen. processor and the gigabyte MB you suggested is good or any other options available out there. will i3 3220 will run BF3 because BF3 performs better with quad core also GTA IV perform better with a quad core cpu. can i play those games without any lag on you suggested system. I can extend my budget to 35k. so can we make few changes in this rig...

The gaming performance improvement from i3 2120 to i3 3220 is marginal and just because it is thrid gen CPU, it is not going to show any wonder. Only advantage you will get is the full bandwidth of PCI Express 3.0 speed with your X16 Graphics card slot, if a PCI-Express 3 supported GPU, like the Radeon HD 7850, is plugged into it.

BF3 and GTA IV will run properly in your system
