AMD FX 8350 -11400,
Asus M5A97 Evo R2.0 -7100,
Sapphire HD7850 2GB OC -13500,
Intel 335 240GB SSD -10500,
Seasonic X660 -7500,
Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz -3200,
Corsair H60 Cooler -3700,

Take a 7870 atleast with a 60k config.

Cant agree more..
Infact, I would say cut down the SSD to a 120GB (You can still add onto this later), buy an HDD for the dump (I bet your 240 GB will look like a minion in a month or two), Drop off H60 and buy CM Evo (which saves you some money) and invest on 7870 compared to 7850.

drop the ssd or get a 120GB one. CM Evo

this will add to get a 7870 GHz edition card

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans:Games like Crysis3,Farcry3,Hawx2,Dead Space3,Battlefield3,FIFA2012,Tomb Raider etc & Applications like Informatica 10.03,Oracle 10.0,Photoshop 8.0,Virtual Machines of Ubuntu,Centos and Unix Server.

I just heard that my favorite game series like Halo,Gears of war,Tomb Raider were released for XBOX way before than a PC release and some are not even released for PC.How can I play such series(Halo&Gears of War) on a PC.

If Sapphire HD7870 comes for 15.5k then I will surely buy it rather a HD7850.
 
I made a slight change to the above configuration which is as follows because I want to CF 7850 in future which exceeds even 7970 also. AMD FX 8350 -11400, Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 -9900, Gigabyte 7850 OC 2GB -13500, Intel 335 240GB SSD -10500, Seasonic X660 -8100, Corsair Vengeance 8GB 2133MHz -4500, Corsair H60 Cooler -3700, CM Storm Enforcer -6300, CM 200mm RED LED fan -1100, Asus 24B5ST DVDRW -1000. TOTAL -70,000.

7850 crossfire doesn't beat a 7970 oced............i think you meant a 7870 crossfire..............and one single card is anyday better than crossfire...main reason being with one single card you still got space for oc and then crossfire.......with a crossfire its actually the limit

I actually thought of buying 990 series chipset which supports CS or SLI but when everybody said single card is always best so I thought of taking 970 series MB.Now even if I take HD7850 or 7870 when 8000 series GPU's release many will automatically upgrade and also the same chipset is being used even for STEAMROLLER CPU's as well so there is no need to change the MB unless PCI-E 3.0 comes into picture for AMD MB's by then(by 2014). So this is a continuous cycle for up-gradation for newer components as and when new ones replace old ones.Until then we(I) have to wait.

i would seriously recommend not to buy the ssd in this budget instead go for a powerful gpu...trust me on this you won't notice any difference while copying stuff

also look for the h80i or simple go for air cooling solutions for your kind of ocing liquid cooling is not at all required.......plus get the 400r or if you choose air cooling then gt the HAF

I think Corsair 300R is more than enough as a cabinet and Corsair H60 is enough for a mild 600-800MHz OC.
Please see the difference in read and write speeds of Intel 335 240GB SSD.
