I doubt FIFA 15 will install on a 32 bit system. I also doubt you'll be able to get a good GPU (750 Ti or higher) in that budget.

Little increase in budget and i am going for

FX 6300 Processor
Gigabyte 78LMT -USB 3
Corsair 1600Mhz 4 GB
Seagate or WD 500 GB Hard Disk
Corsair 450W SMPS
Saphire R7 250 1GB DDR 5

How is it ?

One doubt. Does the Motherboard support 1600MHz RAM ?? Please refer this page
*www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4305#sp

It is mentioned " Support for 1600(O.C.)/1333/1066 MHz memory modules " . What does this mean ?

If the cabinet can house 2 or more fans and spacious then you can reuse it or else buy a new one to use the USB3.0 header on the MB.

Don't get the R7-250. Also, skip the cabinet.

Get the remaining that [MENTION=105611]bssunil[/MENTION] suggested but with the following changes -

AMD FX 6300 -7000,
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 - 4300,
Kingston 4GB 1600Mhz RAM - 2000,
WD Caviar Blue 1TB Hard Disk - 3400,
Antec VP450P 450W SMPS -2500,
Zotac GTX 750ti 2GB DDR5 -10000,
Logitech MK200 -800.
TOTAL -30,000.

Alternatively, you can look for a used HD7870 / HD7950 / GTX 660 / GTX 760 in the price range of 7-10k from online forums / OLX. They are heads and shoulders above the 750ti. The 750ti is almost twice as fast as the R7-250. So you can do the math :)

Personally, I wouldn't want to buy the R7-250 in 2015 considering how the graphics requirements for games are rising. The 750ti is the bare minimum you should look at (even at your monitor's resolution) That gives you the headroom to upgrade your monitor in the future as well.

Buying a branded PC case is not THAT important compared to investing in decent components.

PS - FIFA 15 will not even install on a 32 bit OS. I'm a veteran PC FIFA 15 player so you can route any of your FIFA related concerns to me ;)

If you have a budget of 30k, the above mentioned rig is what I would look at. :)
