Do you already have a CPU?If yes then mention so with the details of the CPU.
Mate,how can a config be suggested when you already have a CPU whose model is unknown to others.
Or do you mean something else by the CPU?

I think he means he wants to buy everything that is to there inside the cabinet but I am confused as well. OP correct me if I am wrong. Please make the answer of the bold part in vkl's post a little more specific.

Buddy, that is a printing mistake and stop your continuous posts regarding that . It is very much clear that he wants to buy the components inside the Cabinet and there are plenty of people who refer it as CPU. nikhilsharma007nikx, deleting your post.

Here goes my suggestion for you:-

Intel Core i5 3550 @ 12.5K (smcinternational.in)
MSI ZH77A-G41 @ 5.88K (Flipkart)
G-Skill RipjawX 4GB X 2 1600 MHz CL9 Kit @ 3K
WD Caviar Green 1TB SATA III 6 Gbps with 64MB Cache (WD10EARX) @ 4.1K
Cooler Master Elite 431 @ 3.4K
Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor-X OC with Boost @ 22K (From Kolkata)
Corsair GS600 PSU @ 4.7K
Logitech G100 Gaming Keyboard & Mouse Combo @ 1.6K
Asus 24X DVD R/W SATA @ 1K
APC 600VA UPS @ 2K

Total: 60.08K. Now for cheaper price of CPU and Graphics card, you can contact Vedant Computers, Kolkata which is offering best prices for the Graphics cards for now. Although they don't have an Online portal, they ship products once contacted through phone. Our Forum Member GamerAnand has bought his 130K from them.

I don't know about Vedant Computers but Sapphire HD 7950 is out of stock in flipkart(the rate is 22K). Is MSI GTX 660 (2GB @ 16.7K) good:unsure:? One more thing - Can you all suggest a good Blu-Ray drive(under 6K which can be saved from GTX 660)?

But at the same price, at 16.7K, Sapphire HD 7870 which is better than GTX 660, is available in Vedant. If you are interested then we can provide you the Phone Number and you can contact them.

Yes you can give me the no.
I was thinking to buy ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 @ 9.9K since is has USB 3.0 & PCI-E 3.0 too, can you suggest a good cabinet for this motherboard?

Gaurav 007, Here is the number.

033-221-29832
033-225-37597

The motherboard you've chosen is based on Z77 chipset which is required for overclocking. You need to use an Intel K series processor + Z77 motherboard for overclocking. Otherwise it will just behave like a normal H77 chipset based motherboard. The MSI H77 motherboard I've suggested does have USB 3.0 and SATA 6 Gbps. So you an go with it.

Is this mother board good? I may overclock the gpu and or cpu in the future.

My max budget for the cabinet is 6K
The site of the mobo says that non k processors can also be overclocked

I have decided to go with CM 690 II

Here is my final config (rates rounded off):

i5 3570 @ 13K
MSI GTX 660 @ 17K
ASrock Z77 Extreme 4 @ 10K
WD Caviar Green 1TB SATA III 6 Gbps with 64MB Cache (WD10EARX) @ 4K
Cooler Master 690 II @ 6K
Corsair GS600 PSU @ 5K
Asus 24X DVD R/W SATA @ 1K

RAM - Since there are single 8GB RAMS too so i would probably buy 1 single 8GB RAM, so which is the best 8GB RAM around the price tag of 3K ?

Buddy, the Graphics card you have chosen in way over priced and better options available on that price. I already suggested you earlier to get a Sapphire HD 7870 from Vedant Kolkata @ 16K + 4% vat = Rs 16640 which is more powerful than GTX 660.

Z77 mobo are meant for k series multiplier 'unlocked' intel processor. Non K-series proc's overclocking is very limited and not worth the effort in terms of performance gain.
Save the 4k and purchase the mobo suggested by Cilius. (Or opt for a k-series proc)

gtx660 is not exactly vfm and definitely not worth it for 17k. If you have allocated 17k for gpu then add 4k (by opting for h77 mobo) and take a Sapphire 7950 from Vedant Kolkata.

Corsair GS600 PSU @ 4,450
