Thanks draco, checked that thread and config is without a dedicated GPU,i was thinking to go for one with a dedicated GPU.
what do you think about the below config i found that in another thread

Intel i3 3120 - 6500/-
Gigabyte B75M-D3H @ 4K
4GB Vengeance - 1000/-
WD Blue 500GB- 3000/-
Sapphire/MSI HD7850 - 13000/-
Coolermaster Elite 310 Cabinet - 1800/-
Asus DVD Writer - 1000/-
Corsair GS600 - 4500/-

total 33.8 K

but this overshoots my budget , may be i can go for a cheaper GPU around 9-10 k , if the config is fine.

DIY FTW!
CPU: i3 3220 (7000)
motherboard: Gigabyte b75m dh3 (4000)
GPU: MSI HD7770 (8200)
Hard disk: WD blue 1 TB (4500)
PSU: Corsair cx430v2 (2600)

total: 26300

OR

CPU: i3 3220 (7000)
motherboard: Gigabyte b75m dh3 (4000)
GPU: Sapphire HD7850 (14000)
Hard disk: WD blue 1 TB (4500)
PSU: Corsair cx430v2 (2600)

total: 32100

Spending 2100 over your max budget will give you better gaming experience, however HD7770 is not bad either. Go for second config if you can get 2100 extra.

Its Corsair cx430v2, not cs430, I guess anish spelled it wrong. Yes it will be sufficient.

Actually if you can manage, it will game way better than a10

only suggested it for budget constraints(which i guess is absent here)

go with the config suggested by harshil....

go with the config suggested by harshil....( but do add a 4 gb ram which i suppose he forgot to add)

it will cost a bit more but will give excellent performance for 2-3 years at least.....

Hey guys ,

I know you said cx430 will work with Sapphire HD7850.

I see that requirement is for 500W PSU.

SAPPHIRE HD 7850 1GB GDDR5

You see, i dont wanna end up short on power.

The config you've mentioned will coomsume max ~320 W, you can find the power requirement of the system from eXtreme Power Supply Calculator AMD usually states a higher wattage to keep things on a safe line. If you want, you can get Corsair CX500v2 at 3400.

Always stick with corsair or seasonic PSU's only.

And the suggested Cx430V2 or Cx500v2 are best in the class. Pick it up or else you can look for Seasonic 520W as well (just giving you another option)..
