Will not a 290 will be an overkill for single monitor? And the price that you have quoted are from online shops or other?

I agree. A 280X will be sufficient. When games start lagging, it can be overclocked. 290 IS an overkill for single 1080p monitor IMHO.

280x has already started its tear and wear. here is an example AnandTech Portal | The AMD Radeon R9 290 Review

Results: Crysis 3 - AMD Radeon R9 290 Review: Fast And $400, But Is It Consistent?

the extra 10-15 fps added by 290 will come handy,say , after two years. so since you have the budget,i recommend 290.

I have a Query which would not require any other thread .... Does overclocking brings out and considerable changes in performance for gaming or day-today work or no ? and if yes then what could be a IDEAL motherboard for i5 4670k processor in a budget of 10k?

In gaming, alone CPU overclocking does not bring any huge changes, normally 5 to 7 FPS on average. But if you are using very powerful Graphics card, it helps to reduce the GPU bottleneck done by CPU, resulting a better performance by the combination of CPU + GPU performance gain.

290 has a good edge over the 280x. But if i go for it will I be compromising on other parts? Like the motherboard. And bro, you have not mentioned about the shops where i can get these prices?

About keyboard mouse, i will use my normal ones for a while. Will upgrade later

local purchases would be better. for online, you can try mdcomputers,theitdepot,theitwares,primeabgb,smcinternational,deltaperipherals,snapdeal,flipkart etc.

the suggested mobo is good enough. all upcoming games will be huge gpu hungry where you will really feel the difference between 290 and 280x.
you can go for i5 4440 for 11.8k to save some money.

I will go to the shops and check final price and see if 290 can be accommodated in my budget. MD computers has listed a sapphire 290 in 33k. Will that serve the purpose? Also if I go for i5 4440, i think that will be a bottleneck for future games. Need your opinion on that.

That i5 will not be a bottleneck for 2 years easy. Concentrate on getting a good GPU.

PS: which mouse and kb do you have? comfortable mouse and kb take the whole experience to a much better level. Upgrade them soon.

I use the Logitech g500, an absolute killer mouse. You can go for it.

And the tvse gold keyboard is fine for allround tasks.
