RAM: G.Skill RipjawsX 1600 MHz 4 GB x2 (1700x2) / Corsair Vengence 1600 MHz 4 GB x2 (1700x2) ( G.Skill has better overclockability and smaller size so it does not inter fears with cou cooler but has support issue, vengeance is also good but has large heat spreader which may inter fear with larger cpu coolers)

PSU: Corsair GS600 (4600) / Corsair CX600v2 (3900)

GPU: Sapphire HD7950 3 GB Vapour-x (20000)

Logitech MK200 KB & mmouse combo (700)

HDD: wd blue / seagate barracuda 2 TB (~4500)

Total: 62500 / 64100

As you've said, I've suggested alternatives of almost all products, but the partg I would suggest you to go with are:

Monitor: Dell st2220L 22" (8300)

Logitech MK200 KB & mmouse combo (700)

HDD: seagate barracuda 2 TB (~4500)

total: 62500, if this is beyond, then take 4 GB ram, it will come under the mentioned budget.

Sorry, I have no idea of Wi Fi cards.

Thank you My friend...But what about motherboards with bulit in WIFI ? how much more more would it Cost ?
Can I play Upcoming games( next 2 yrs ) with these config in High Res? I dont mind streching a budget a little.
Also is the PSU good enough to handle CPU for long durations(sometimes 24hrs a day for torrent download) ??

what about these as alternative graphics card ?? GTX 660Ti or GTX 580 ??

Bro first check if you can find these parts in UAE or even afford them. Premium Computer components like Video Cards and Processors + other are almost non-exsistent in the ME Region because of low demand.
I faced the same problem when I was building my rig (btw i reside in Qatar)
Your best bet will be getting these components from India . However Monitor and other things like Speakers and Optical drives can be bought from UAE.

WTF ! I thought Computers parts are in good stock in UAE because people here are supposed to Update their components unlike in INDIA.Anyways I'll be looking to build around above config.
Do I need to substitute any parts ?

I'm looking for motherboard with wifi :(

NZXT and Corsair are almost non existent in Dubai. Its better if you can ship parts from India or US. Try Gigabytes mobos,you will find them a plenty in Dubai.Check Al Ain center and better contact Golden Systems Electronics for Gigabyte ,Zotac, Asus, Kingston WD and Cooler Master.

Thermaltake is another brand available quite widely in Dubai and ME.

Sapphire HD 7970 is around AED 2300 in Al Ain .

ADD a wifi card around 55/65 AED.

Visit Al Ain Cenetr in Dubai and dont buy from Sharjah,its just a matter of 30 minutes (apart from the Traffic).

@OP: Post some links to some of the online retailers where you live. Cause, price of components differs from place to place.
And it is highly unlikely that these suggested Indian prices would be similar to the price were you live.
