another reason why you dont need a 500w psu is that the max power draw you are going to have is 300w. its not that all psus draw more than their rated capacity.

Well, now I have done some research and will have reduce my level on graphics due to budget constraints. Considering HD 7770 instead...
The revised configuration looks like:
1. CPU: INTEL Core i3-3220 (Rs. 7236)
2. Mobo: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H Motherboard (Rs. 4205)
3. GPU: Sapphire HD 7770 1 GB (Rs. 9147)
4. PSU: Antec VP450P (Rs. 3410)
5. Case: Cooler Master Elite 311 (Rs. 2275)
6. RAM: Corsair DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) (CMX4GX3M1A1600C11) (Rs. 2300)
7. HDD: WD Caviar Blue 500 GB (Rs. 3188)
8. Optical Drive: HP dvd1260i DVD Burner (Rs. 1413)
9. Monitor: Dell IN2030M 20 inch LED Backlit LCD Monitor (Rs. 6564)
Total: Rs. 39738 (Still not in budget
. Will try to cut more.
Edit: Or I can wait for the gfx card if the prices are to slash. Will it slash in the near future?

all prices go down after some time, but as we know that the new 8xxx radeon series and 7xx nvidia series are about to be released, i would suggest build this config without the gpu now and add a gpu 2-3 months later.
you can save some $$, go for a cheaper motherboard and add another 4gb ram.

Everything is super overpriced. Kick the dealer out and get from somebody else. And remember when you get an entire rig from someone you can further press for discounts.

Ok. These were prices of flipkart, snapdeal. Going to delhi isn't a good option as the benefits will be offset by the expenses of travelling/food/lodging. Will try to get in touch with local dealers and see what they got.

If you want to order online check between these, ITDEPOT / MD Computers / Prime ABGB / Overclockerszone
Flipkart and Snapdeal are always super overpriced!

Ok. Actually, the only reason I visit these sites is the availability of 'cash on delivery'. I have never purchased from the sites you listed but I see many of you are referring it so it should be reliable.

it depot also has an ebay store, so ordering parts from here can also be done. But in any case these stores are highly reputed and many members buy their configs from there so you should have no problems.

I only suggested the safest of places from where even I would have bought had it been my money
. And trust me I have bought from all of them! They are very reliable. If COD is not available do a TPCT from bank.

oh wow...Xenforo!!!
Read what it says in that link. Although its not clear which OEM thunder Series uses, Coolermaster as of now sticking with Seasonic and Enhance OEMS. Its Corsair which is now currently playing musical chairs with OEMs and actual designs, except the HX series and the AX series. Infact, RMA numbers for newer Corsair GS series, CX V2, VS and certain TX models have increased over the period of months.

"I will have to be very budget centric at the same time I don’t want to compromise on performance in Games. I will hunt for the best possible configuration that is cheap but doesn’t compromise on quality. As this is my first time I am building my own desktop, the configurations are likely to change if I get cheap but impressive alternatives. "
I have come up with a configuration which is over my budget already. "

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 Motherboard (Rs. 5299 at Flipkart)
RAM: Corsair XMS3 DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM (CMX8GX3M1A1600C11)(Rs.4332 at Flipkart)

CASE/CABINET: Cooler Master HAF 912 Combat with Side Window CPU Cabinet (Rs. 5099 at SnapDeal)

it is going to be my first ever build so that config is a rough estimate ... i have brought it down to 31k with the kind help of the members here.. since i have time so im researching more and looking to reduce budget without compromising on medium-high settings gaming (not ultra though)..
i want my pc to play gta5 when it releases...
HD 7750 fits best in my budget ... searching for more..
I have selected HD 7750 as my choice:
Theitdepot: Sapphire HD 7750 1GB DDR5 @ Rs. 6814
Flipkart: same @ Rs. 7420
difference between two is flipkart is offering 3 years warranty whereas 2 years in theitdepot..
the same gpu from Asus is available at Rs. 7200 at Flipkart (3years wtny) and theitdepot @ Rs. 7400 (3years wtny)
which should i go for..
will i also require sound card???
