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.

The 290 that you have suggested is a reference card right? Because the non reference cards are in the range of 44k. And will there be a heating problem in a reference card?

Why?

If the op does not OC much, its okay. The non ref cards have better vrm design and heatsink. Apart from that, its a flagship card, so the AmD wont use inferior quality components.

If cash strapped and willing to compromise on OCing then ref cards will work.

the reference 290 and 290x get heated up too quickly and that too hovering at 95 degrees on loads. it is better to get these cards with aftermarket cooler.

Even with the reference card and an aftermarket cooler i will fall short of money. And the suggested Sapphire is almost 38-39k. Will not be able to accomodate in my budget. So i think i am left with no choice other than 280x.

How effective it will be if I switch to an AMD config? I know i5 is petforming better, but what if combined with 290.
And for reference card suggest me a cooler.

> FX 8350 and Asus M5A97 R2.0 will cost ~21k.

> cost of Reference card + aftermarket cooler > cost of custom cooler card.

good one. if possible, opt for wd black 1tb for around 5.5k. for the cpu ,get the cheapest. 100/200 mhz bump in speed doesn't bring any miracles.

Thanks. I will see the price difference for the 4570 and 4670. And if I can accommodate the black one, I will surely include it.
But its 1.5k more.
I hope i can fit all the components in my budget.
And yeah, noob question! As I will be assembling it myself do I need to get a thermal paste for the CPU?

thermal paste will be pre-applied to the intel cooler itself.
