@OP 290 will be overkill now but in a year you will need it to run games with every settings maxed out. So it's better to get a 290 to be more future ready if not future proof

Why on earth someone spend 78k on a gaming PC only to include a 270x? Why would you even suggest that?
@OP stick to the 290 config

You have mentioned RAM twice and that takes 6k from my budget. Budget is flexible around 75K.

Display waiting advices from others.
Casing either is fine with me. How about this one as I found this economical and bit smaller in size
*www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=389

Gaming mouse what other options do I have in the same price range as there are brands available like Roccat, Razer, Logitech available.

I forgot to mention one thing.
Tri x 290 is a very long card. Check the case compatability before buying. I am personally using G400s from Logitech. Albeit the negative feedbacks I have found it too be quite good. But I would recommend the G500 to be safe :p

Because of the taxing may be. Anyway I have experienced that India has wider market than here. Restricted by brands and people prefer to buy alienware laptops.
