HD 7950 @ 22K
MSI ZH77A-G41 @ 6K
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

Good news - My dad said that this is your last computer that you will buy & so the budget got increased :) (max 75K). Here is some changes:

i7 3770K instead of i5 3570
Corsair TX850 psu instead of GS 600
GPU - HD 7950 (GPU budget is same)
Ram -same
Motherboard - same
HDD - same
Cabinet - same

So should I buy or I need to make some changes?

PS: I would buy around Christmas.

Cant use same mobo. K-series procs pair with z77 mobos.
PSU was good enough but opting for tx650 v2 is better now.
Take a WD black.

Okay here is some changes:

i7 3770K
Corsair TX850 (In future if I want to use Crossfire then it would require 750 Watts)
GPU - Sapphire HD 7950 3GB
Ram - G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL)
Motherboard - ASRock Z77 Extreme4
HDD - WD Black (Is it an external HDD?) / Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Cabinet - CM 690 II

I should have asked before, but why i7 3770k ? i5-3570K is quite enough.
Take an Asus Gene
Total the cost uptil now. Easier to modify items then.
WD Black is internal.

One last thing, Is Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10) better than
G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM (F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL) ?

G-Skill RipjawX series is excellent for overclocking compared to the Vengeance modules. Also they are known to run at tighter latency, resulting performance improvement. If you are not overclocking or tweaking the latency of the Ram then get which one is cheaper.

In Wikipedia, the Hi performance system requirements of Crysis 3 are an i7 processor, HD 7970 & 8GB RAM so I may overclock (GTA 5 May have more high system requirements).

PS: Can an overclocked HD 7950 beat GTX 670 ?
