11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: This is the config which I came up with in my research :

Intel i5 3450 - 12.5k
Gigabyte B75M-D2H-4.5k
Corsair RAM 2x4GB 1600 MHz - 3.5k?
WD 500 GB 7200 HDD - 3.8k
Saphire HD6870 - 12.5k
Corsair CX430V2 - 2.4k -- is this enough power?
Nzxt Gamma-2.4k
Dell IN2030M - 6.5k
______________________________
Total 48k. rest for UPS and stuff


Also I can put off the purchase for a month if the AMD price cut will come into effect by then and 7850 will come into budget.

Thanks

For Ram, get the G-Skill RipjawX. Currently a single 4 GB Module is priced at 1.5K in Kolkata. So you can get 4GB X 2 @ 3K. In your config, I'll suggest the following changes:-

GPU: Sapphire/Gigabyte HD 7850 2 GB GDDR5 @ 16.4K
PSU: Corsair CX 500 V2 @ 3.5K

Dell IN2030M is available at 5.9K including taxes in Kolkata.

you can get the i5 2400 @ 11.8k and save some dough there
and also the cx 430 v2 should be enough to power a hd 6870
but better still if you get a vs 450 which has the same amperage as a cx 500 (34 amps) @ 2k only

Unfortunately this annihilates the budget

you can get the i5 2400 @ 11.8k and save some dough there

I dont see the point in not going for IB for less than 1k savings. 3450 should be slightly faster, takes less power, RAM frequency supports 1600 .
