yup, it's pretty much perfect.

Get Corsair TX650v2 over GS700.

It is perfect.
Btw Squeeze as much as you can from that CPU. Else the price of fx 8350 is not justified
Also wat resolution ?

1)do not go with the antec cabinet...if possible look at the 400r by corasir its the best in that budget unless your in for looks..i din't get it therefore had to go with the 912....its a windmill and dust prone the pcb will have a blanket of dust in no time

2)as ico mentioned go for the tx650v2/or seasonic x660 instead of the gs700

3)change the MSI board to Asus...the 990fx boards are best made by asus if possible get the sabertooth or if in budget the 990fxa ud3

4) check out the bitfenix spectre undoubtably the best cabinet fans you get and it has noise levels lesser than any out there also airflow is greater than any out there

5) the cooler you choose is the best in that budget but if you have funds then go for noctua nh-d14

6) for the keyboard get the tvse gold its a mechanical keyboard priced at 1.5k + also get the g400 by logitech

7) try to get a 7950 vapour x .......its an underclocked 7970 and its temperature's are seriously low even after 3-4 hours of farcry3

8) don't go for seagate, just beacuse of the warranty go for WD....if anything goes wrong they come to your house pick up the dead drive and deliver a new drive in a few weeks..

9) with amd somehow gskills are the way to go (i don't vouch for it but heard from various sources)

10) opd man get asus

Don't agree with you suggesting ASUS. You included the after sale factor in point no. 8 but not in no.3 ?
Rashi is hell !

7) Gud suggestion

9) I can back this up.
Trying to find reliable source right now

Thanks for your inputs !!!!!!!!!

I am looking for the suggestions so that i can play the latest games in below settings :

2560x1600
1920x1080
1680x1050

I don't need Monitor as i would be using 32 in LED TV as monitor.

I'd say HAF 912 is better than Antec X1 but Antec X1 is more stylish. Otherwise, your rig is gonna be awesome.:-D
 
if your going to use a 32" monitor you will need a beast of a gpu the one you selected would have problems anyday heck the 7950 might have problems i don't know.........choose a very powerful gpu or go for 7870 crossfire

resolution... I guess, every 32 inch TV in the Indian market is 1080p or less. :p HD 7870 is fine for 1920*1080.

Change the motherboard,get Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 (990FX chipset) rs10500
The asus board is a much better one,it has much more matured bios.
Skip the msi 990fx motherboard.
Get Seasoic s12II 620 psu,its a much better psu than corsair gs600,seasonic s12II 620 is even slightly better than corsair tx650 v2 and is also cheaper than the corsair unit,s12II 620 costs only rs4800 in kolkata market (vedant computers).
Get the Sapphire HD7870XT insted of HD7870ghz edition,the xt version is only rs600 more and is quite a bit faster than ghz edition.
The HD7870 ghz edition is based on pitcairn xt core while the Sapphire HD7870 XT is based on Tahiti LE core.
The Sapphire HD7870 XT even matches HD7950 boost if slightly overclocked.
It is perfect.

Fx8350 actually has a very good price point,its currently the most vfm processor (if your budget is above 11k)
In recent games FX8350 is performing head to head with i7 3770k,FX8350 is also a great overclocket,in multitasking its better than i5.
So FX8350 is a clear winner.

The board you are talking about is a 990X chipset based board and the one I recommended is a 990FX one,
990FX is a better chipset than 990X,go with Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 its a very good board,great overclocking and costs around 10.5k.
Like I said before I'm repeating that again,get seasonic s12II 620 over corsair gs600,the seasonic one is much better quality psu and get Sapphire HD7870XT which is more powerful than HD7870.
Sapphire HD7870XT costs only rs700 more than HD7870.

^^ Regarding the Seasonic Psu and Motherboard, I'm agreed with the above. SEASONIC is the original manufacturer of Corsair psu and tx 650V2 is just a tweaked version of Seasonic S12II 620.
