Editing the N@M@N's config. Replace the mobo to Asus Maximus IV Gene Z or Asus P8Z68-V , both for around 13.5k. For RAM get G-skill ripjawsX 2x4 gb ddr3 1600 Mhz @ 3.2k.
For cabinet, carbide 400R @ 4.8k is a good option. Rest remains the same.

The monitor suggested is pretty good so is the rest of the configuration, also need to squeeze a router and a web cam in that budget can you'll suggest one. And for the cabinet I was thinking about getting a NZXT guardian 921 rb, is it good in terms of cooling and cable management.

@Sainatarajan
Will the i7 processor make a real big difference in performance?

I know the hd 7870 is the superior GPU but the hd 7850 performs the same when overclocked read it on toms hardware,can someone please shed some light on this. If I want to crossfire down the line which would be a better mobo. Will I need after market cooling in a nzxt guardian 912 rb?

^^but if you hd 7870 can also be overclocked to get better performance. If you feel that it is too pricier then wait for a month or 2 for GTX 660.

For now your rig would give great performance. In future when you want to overclock you can get additional cooling at that time.
