OP should opt for an intel procesor instead, at that budget..

Here are my queries

1. Amd fx 8350? Heard it has some performance issues?

2. Why not a single gtx 690 or a titan?

3. Corsair tx850 v2? Heard it has some problems i mean the tx series have problems.

Yup. Maybe haswel or ivy or even a sandybridge-e.

Answer to ur queries:

1) AMD FX 8350 doesnot have any performance issues...Few ppl in TDF have it and none have reported it..
2) GTX 690 or titan is an overkill for a single monitor setup..anyway i have added it as per ur request..
3) I dont think the TX has any issues..maybe the older version had but the newer v2 versions dont have it...

For Cabinet, Corsair Carbide 500R is a good option. Also for PSU, even a 650W is more than enough.
For GPU, get the Gigabyte HD7970 3 GB OC Windforce edition which is available at 26.8K in smcinternational.in. Performance wise it is over GTX 680 and almost same as the newly launced GTX 770. Also it has the Windforce Cooler with three Fan slots and supporting very high overclocking. Here you can save more than 4K in GPU.
The choice of i7 4770K is very good and stick with it only. Also Asus GRYPHON Z87 is a hell of a Motherboard and the best option IMO. For Ram, instead of getting two 8GB 1600 Modules, try to get the Corsair Vengeance 4GB X 2 2133 MHz CL10 modules.

 

[avinandan012]

wouldn't 670 sli be better & future proof at this budget?

Not very sensible.... but yes it's good Performance Review: Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 in 2-Way and 3-Way SLI Configurations - X-bit labs

Not just GTX 770 sir even GTX 780 kneels down in some cases Benchmark

Asus GTX Titan - 70k

Pls note that you are creating a grand canyon in op's pocket for getting performance of around 5-20% only *www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/764?vs=768

 

[varun004]

go with 670 sli blower style fan gpus. Very powerful gpu config for 1080p or 1440p. Get 120hz monitor for this config no less than this.
even an i5 3570k can power this gpus but i7 3770k will be useful for multiplayers like bf3. Gigabyte ud3h is an excellent motherboard for overclocks or if you want to spend more you can go for asus maximum V formula. I am a bit doubtful about haswell due to its limited overclocking potential than ivy and sandy bridge cpu. Many haswell boards are coming with limit on clock multipliers but do check the reviews of mobos. SSD is a good addition. Windows anf couple of games which you play often and take long load times can be installed on it.
This whole system can be power by a good quality 750 W power supply even with high overclocks. Corsair Hx 750 gold certified is ideal for this. 2 4gb rams cas 9 1600mhz ram is enough.

I can add my savings and can stretch my budget to 2 lakhs not more than that. I want top end components because i dont want to upgrade it year by year or you can say frequently.

No need to spend that much for just gaming.

You dont need to upgrade year after yaer for gaming. Once in 3 yrs is fine. and when you have an OCable proc, there is no need to upgrade for 3 yrs. But you may need to upgrade just the GPU. This depends upon you.

Even 1.5 lakhs is a bit of a stretch.

[ASHISH65]

please donot get 16gb of ram.it will be fully waste.even for todays gaming 4gb is fine,though 8gb is reccommended for future.get 4gb x2 = 8gb ram
