80K budget is a good one and you can get a very good gaming system within it. But for such a high powered system you need a premium UPS and recommended one is APC 1.1KVA black around 4.3K.

Intel Core i5 2500K @ 13.5K
MSI Z68A-GD55 @ 10.2K
Gskill RipjawX F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL(4GB X 2) RAM @ 2.8K
Seagate 7200.12 320GB SATA HDD @ 3.5K
SeaSonic SS-850AT 850W 80+ BRONZE Certified Power Supply @ 6.25K
Corsair Carbide 400R Cabinet @ 5K
Asus 24X Black SATA DVD R/W @ 1.1K
BenQ G2220HDL @ 7.5K

So total is coming around 50K and you are having 30K for the Graphics card. Now the new generation of Graphics card from AMD, HD 7900 series have been launched and the price of the HD 7950 or HD 7970 will have price around 30K/32K. They will be available in India around end of January. Get one of them. Right now no point of inverting 30K in any current gen Graphics cards.

cilus, is UPS important for me ? cause in my colony we used to have mini power cuts for 1 or 2 hours in a month.

pls tell me which processor is good for bf3 - i5 2500k or i72600k ?

mate,whats ur thoughts on corsair 400r case . is it good for cable management + space for new gen graphic cards ?

offtopic: thx for editing my thread ,i also realised that its little messy from beginning to end lol.

@jin
if you can spend a little more than 80k would recommend you to get the i7 2600k. For Battlefield 3 the i5 2500k is enough though.
yes UPS is important. Pc directly getting shut off doesnt help longevity of components much. I myself have ended up with a corrupt hard drive when computer used to go off directly.

 

[Cilus]

For gaming, 2500K is better value for money. It can run all the current gen intensive games. 2600K is recommended for highly muti-threaded environment where its simultaneously 8 thread processing capability will help.

Carbide 400R is a very good, spacious and big cabby with all the features you're asking for.

thx mate for ur useful reply.

my previous amd rig is used to work without UPS,and in that time period i lost my 2 * 500 gb hdd. now i understand why they got corrupted.mate i still have those corrupted WD hdds and they have warranty for atleast 2 years . do u think they will replace it..

mate i just like to surf net,listning music and gaming, sometimes i use PhotoShopt once in a month,but i use fraps every week, cause me and my three friends runs a bf2 clan and we all have to catch cheaters with solid proofs so,we record them and then upload it on YouTube.

these are the activities which i do daily,so now the final call i5 2500k or i7 2600k ?

cilus, cm haf or corsair 400r carbide ?

mate should i go for hd6950 2 gb crossfire cause its faster and with nice price tag compare to 7970?

@op,
6950 crossfire won't reach the performance margin of 7970 and 7xxx series have a lot better features and one more important thing is ,it is always better to invest in single card config than crossfire because of performance problem in various games.
Investing 30k in 6xxx generation when we are having 7xxx series cards is just utter waste of money.buy 2500k than 2600k because you won't see even 1fps difference between them.

Regarding your warranty of HDD, yes if warranty is left, the company is bound to replace/repair it.
