laborare est orare
AMD FX-8320 @ 10K
Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 @ 8K
Dell S2240L 21.5" 1080P IPS Panel Full HD Display @ 8.5K
Kingston HyperX Blue 8GB X 1 1600 MHz CL9 Ram @ 4.7K
Seasonic S12II 520W PSU @ 4.7K
Asus R9280X-DC2-3GD5 Radeon R9 280X 3GB DDR5 Direct CU2 OC @ 24.7K (*www.theitdepot.com/details-Asus+Ra...raphics+Card+(R9280X-DC2-3GD5)_C45P19675.html)
APC 600VA UPS @ 3K

Total: 63.6K

Now this configuration is perfect for gaming. A lot of people might say Intel Core i5 Quad cores will provide better game play experience than AMD counterparts but I want you to check the CPU scaling in recent games like Crysis 3, Tomb Raider 2012, Hitman Absolution and most recently in Battlefield 4. All those games are now heavily optimized to use multiple CPU cores like never before and it is going to be the future trend of gaming industry. In Battlefield 4, an Core i7 3770K and a FX-8350 perform exactly same when paired with the same powerful Graphics card like R9 290 or GTX 780. In Crysis 3, there are cases when a FX-8350 performs marginally better than a i7 3770K, priced twice than it.
So when I am pairing a FX-8320 with a very powerful card like R9-280X, it is obviously gonna perform better than a i5-4570 + GTX 760 combination in all the cases due to the raw GPU power it can provide.

Although you've said no to overclocking, I just want to point out that with the current FX processor, you can overclock it with even the stock cooler to some degree, without even touching the BIOS and using very very user friendly Windows tools like AMD Overdrive, Asus AI Suite and for those you don't need any expert knowledge. Just overclock the FX-8320 to 3.8 GHz (from its stock 3.6 GHz) and it will increase the game FPS by 2-3 frames.

thank you for the reply.
But as I wrote already, preferring Intel & nvidia. And I don't need ups, as we don't get power cuts in Mumbai. (updated the first post

He does not want UPS and monitor also but to play in 1080p resolution we have specified it right.

are you sure i can get Zotac GTX760 2GB AMP for 21k??

also a friend of mine, told me that if i buy such a high end CPU, then the integrated GPU in it will be a wasted money :(

So far, I have figured out the following parts for the build..

Intel i5-3330 12400
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H 4943
G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) 6100
Zotac GTX760 AMP 20500
Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus 4100
Corsair CX500 3800
dell st2240l 8800

it is reached 60k and may vary according to the actual prices.
any further advice on these items?

i had an idea of choosing i3 over i5 to lower the total. is it fine or should i stick with i5.

Not good at ALL.

> Why are you goinf with 3rd gen processors, they are already a dead-end?

> replace ripjwasX with kingston hyperX Blu 1600 MHz- same performance at much lower price. 4 GB stick is available at 2500 at flipkart.

> 760 AMP would cost ~22k, 20k is for the reference version at most places.

> Elite 431 is probably the worst you can get. Replace it with Corsair 300R available at 4500.

> Get Dell S2240L (without the 't'). that's the IPS panel monitor.

> CX500 is not a good choice. get Seasonic S12II 520 W available at 4200.

Final config:

i5 4430 (12000)
Asus B85M (6500)
Kingston HyperX Blu 1600 MHz 4 GB (2500)
Zotac GTX 760 2 GB AMP edition (22000)
Corsair 30R (4500)
Seasonic S12II 520 W (4200)
Dell S2240L (8800)
