Thanks guys, both these builds look awesome. i am not partial towards amd or intel.
I did check the benchmarks and i5 4570 is way better in single threaded processes and beats most of the other areas by a slim margin.
So should i go with the I5 build?
Also in the amd build would it be worth it going for 8350 instead of 8320?

Thanks a lot guys, i will start the process of ordering the parts, BTW any idea on what UPS i could buy, i don't want a UPS that works like an inverter (i've had that problem in the past).. Also the mentioned prices are from online dealers right? Any idea if i would be able to get good products for cheaper prices on Lamington road, i just want to be sure before I make that arduous journey to Mumbai from Pune, if you any idea on shops in Pune please do tell... also whose r9 280X should I buy?

Again thanks a lot for the responses...

May be i am being greedy, but is it worth saving more and going in for a Intel Xeon E3 1230 V3 instead of i5 4570, keeping rest of the config same?

you may get lower prices locally. bargain more :D. for 280x, try asus DCii or msi ones.
xeon may not improve gaming experience for the present games,period.
for the ups,get the apc 1100va one.

well, no idea. let members from Pune suggest shops. you can look at online portals too..

seasonic s12ii 620 is a very strong unit. you can go with it if your budget permits.

If you can skip the UPS now and get one later then get this config instead-

FX 8320 (10400)
CM Hyper 101 (1500)
Asus M5A97 R2.0 (7150)
Kingston HyperX 4 GB 1600 MHz (2725)
WD Blue 500 GB (3100)
Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X 4 GB (32800)
Seasonic S12II 620 (5700)
Deepcool Teressect (2700)
Logitech MK200 (750)
Dell S2240L (8500)

total: 75,325

R9 290 will be much much much better than 280X

so intel i5 4570+280x < amd fx8320 + 290??

intel i5 config wouldnt require the external cooler stock would do so in 2.5 K more i can even get the intel config with 290, is that worth it?
