AMD FX-6300 @ 7.4K
Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 @ 7.1K
G-Skill RipjawX 1600 MHz 8GB X 1 CL9 DDR3 @ 4.4K
WD Caviar Blue 500GB Sata III HDD @ 3.1K
Seasonic S12II 620 80+ PSU @ 5K
Zotac GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 GPU @ 20K
Asus 24X DVD R/W @ 1K
Lenovo M6811 Gaming Mouse @ 0.65K
Logitech K200 Keyboard @ 0.4K
NZXT Source 210 Elite Cabinet @ 2.7K

Total: 51.75K. However, playing games at 3D @ 1080P needs real beefy graphics cards. I am not sure how much a GTX 760 can provide.

^^ Thanks for pointing about the Keyboard, edited my post.
prathmesh, apart from a 20K GPU, I have also added an Gaming mouse in your config. Lenovo M6811, although a sub 1K mouse, it offers features and performance of a 1.5K gaming Mouse. It comes with 1600 DPI, based on laser pointing (all the other mouses at this range are IR), 5 programmable buttons and a nice grip.
Regarding Zotac GTX 760, if you register it to Zotac site within 15 days of the purchase, you'll get extra 2 years of warranty, totalling a warranty of 5 years. Also another sugession: if you can spend 2K extra, opt for AMD FX-8320 8 Core Processor.

hey cilus, i was going through Digit July ed, what i found is it was written that GTX660ti works faster than GTX 760 reference . and AMD HD 7870 excels GTX 760 in some ways. what you say? And if i face a budget prob while buying and want to settle for a below 18K GPU
which one would be best ? i got some names like Asus GTX660 DCIIO(extra cooling) or sapphire HD 7879 GHz ed
or Asus HD7850 V2.

GTX 760 is far better than HD7870/GTX 660 Ti and some OCed cards can give performance close to HD7970 Ghz Ed.

Corsair VS serie is meant for low power PC's and is a low end PSU series. Seasonic S12II is one of the best PSU series in it's budget. Its definitally justifies to spend 1k extra in return for stable power. Seasonic S12II 520W will be enough, no need of a 620 W PSU.

And you need 1 sata power connector per HDD and optical drive.

^^Why such expensive PSU in a 50K budget? Just because they are modular! If you know how to do cable management and have a decent cabinet with cable management options, you don't need a modular psu.
