Hmm i am conflicted, would 290 be an overkill? just wanted to make sure that if I buy i5 +280x would I feel that i wish i would have gone for 290 (I know it would depend on the games i will play but if anyone has experience on this it would help)...
If you see my original budget was 60K and this has snowballed into something else :D

If you can play with few eye candies turned off then 280X will be fine. For 1080p @ everything max 290 is the way to go.

In the configuration suggested by Harshil you can opt for a i5 4570 processor and Gigabyte B85M D3H motherboard and you will have a i5+290 rig.

Now this overshoots your initial budget of 60k by 25℅. But am assuming you have increased it as everyone is suggesting in that range.(am unable to view the attachment). This will have more gaming potential.
But for the other softwares you have mentioned I leave it to the experts.

I had a little advancement and one of my friends is coming down from US, but sadly he can carry only one thing, so what should i get...i checked out ASUS 290x

*www.amazon.com/Asus-R9290X-DC2OC-4GD5-ASUS-Graphics-Cards/dp/B00HSY1TBK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1402582201&sr=8-4&keywords=r9+290x

this would be around 34K

is this worth the hassle?
or should i just get 290 for a lesser price? Apart from that would ASUS give me international warranty on this?
If not this i can even get the CPU the intel i7 4770K is around 19K over there

you wont get any international warranty. better purchase from here.also sapphire r9 290 trix is available at 32.8k on mdcomputers and it is much cooler too. asus dc2 for r9 290 is same as reference design(bad cooler design indeed) and temperature reaches 90+ degrees.

Ok, so there is nothing I can buy from us? And if overheating is a problem should I revert to 280x?

Hey Just read on the sapphire site that tri-x requires a 750W supply, in that case a Seasonic S12II620 5750 wouldnt cut it out right??

it is plenty. believe me, these sites quote more than what is required sometimes with ridiculous psu requirement. look at various reviews of r9 290 and check the power consumption.
