DIY FTW!
I would recommend a 500W PSU instead of a 430W to keep a good room for upgradation. Addition of NZXT GAmma will make it complete. You should also add some LED's to it for the bling-blong :)

Get it ASAP. BUT, if there's another HD7950 for sale at a near around price, then pick that up.

Guys final questions before I start buying stuff for my rig:

Processor - i5 3470
Motherboard - Gigabyte B75
GPU - EVGA GTX 660 Superclocked 2 GB :)D :D getting it for $184 ~ Rs 9700 :D :D)
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 2x4 GB @ 1600 MHz
PSU - Corsair CX430V2
Case - NZXT Gamma
Hard Drive - WD Caviar Blue 500 GB

Final Questions:
1. Will a 430 Watt PSU be sufficient? Im going for a gtx 660 and not a gtx 650 ti boost. (Although the wattage of the 660 seems low, they recommend a 450 Watt PSU) If its only really important ill go for a 450W or 500W PSU. Suggest me one for about 2.5-3k.

2. Will this build have any compatibility issues within? Or is everything fine and compatible. (Not going to overclock CPU and RAM)

3. MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION: Does EVGA give international warranty? Going to get this card when I go to US early next month. I will be getting it back home but if something goes wrong, will the warranty be applicable in India? (If you dont know please redirect me to a place where I can ask this.)

4. The NZXT Gamma has space for 6 total fans. Can I and should I install two of these: CM 90 CFM BLUE. Reason to install these would be: Blue LED Bling! and extra cooling.

5. Going to start buying this month end onwards. Going to the US early in May coming back in mid June. So Ill buy the rest of the components in June and assemble it then. Anything worth waiting for? (Don't care about Haswell, its a Gaming Rig) I heard the nvidia 700 series desktop range will be launched in June. Will the GTX 750 (usually one lower number) perform better than the GTX 660 for the same price? Do I need to wait?

6. On a side note: Are these overclocked cards a marketing gimmick? Why don't I just buy a normal card and overclock it using software? Why pay extra for a factory OC model when you can do it at home?

Thanks,
You guys Rock!
