These are the pics. Not able to upload 2 more pics[RAM & Connections] don't know why.
So far, really impressed by the performance of R9 280x! [Such a huge card!, weighs 1Kg]
great card!
can play anything on ultra graphics and still able to hit everything 60+ fps.
Below are some games i played so far-
Game - FPS
farcry3 - 75 to 80
nfs rivals - 30 [locked to 30, no idea why]
mortal kombat 9 - 60
gta 4 - 80
aoe 3 - 250+
street fighter 4 - 60
all these games were on ultra graphics, 1080p with full antialising. vsync off.
impressed with Dell monitor also, just one bad thing, the reflections on dark scenes.
haven't made a proper placement for the pc so, for now have put the monitor over the cpu
enjoyed today, by playing the games which i was not able to play/on ultra.
will enjoy more when a proper placement is made for it.
Thanks everyone for the advices
i can finally enjoy gaming @ ultra

RAM is overpriced. Where did you purchase from? It should have been for ~2.4k for 4 GB stick.
, which store ?

bought from a whole seller 'Perfect Systems' at lamington road near the police station, he brought parts from different stores as i asked for.
yes i thought the same, RAM & GPU as well overpriced than what mentioned in this forum.
but the CPU was cheaper.

my bank balance is shaken by this out of budget PC 
and you say to I should have spent some more for better
I had a feeling that i will get R9 280x at around 24k, but it was for 26k. dont know what would have been the price of 770, i just skipped to ask about it by seeing r9's price.
anyways, this is a worth spent i feel. I have PC @ home since i was born, but never had a high end graphic card to play on.
after buying this thing i feel great at last & i am satisfied with the performance, no need for 'i should have gone for even more' feeling.
Its a descent performance with this card, even more than what i expected. thumbs up for all those who suggested me the components, and the guys who adviced me to go for r9 280x.
For the physx part, i was playing farcry 3 and there was flags waving as it should have with physx. So, i agree now that NVIDIA is just playing mind games with their physx capabilities.
and one more question i have now is, I can have a fan on the side which is exactly above the graphic card.
should I exhaust air out or take in via that?
