If gaming is the main purpose, then OP should go with either i5 3570K or FX-8350 and invest the rest of the money for a better GPU.

I Totally agree with this.
FX 8350 is HELL OF A Good Pros. I am having fx 8150 which i would say , fabulous .

Isnt it Cilus?

Investing on PSU is really necesarry if you are opting a Vaporx 7970 and AMD Pros.
Go for a Corssair PSU 850W

If you go with a single HD 7970, then mostly TX650 v2 like wise is sufficient. In case you want to Crossfire, TX950 or HX 850 & even AX850 will be better. Take one among these.

Thanks everyone here. :)
You help others like you're going to buy the rig yourself not the others. :p

Well, if I go for a dual gpu setup (budget is 30k), would you recommend me that over HD 7970 Vapor X? If yes, may you please tell me the GPUs I should get? HD 7850?

If you are fixed on dual gpu setup, 660 sli might be better.
Keep in might the additional heat generated inside the cabinet. Will need good airflow.

Post your finalized /updated config as of now.

Re: Config Decided as of Now

If you r going play games, then here is vote.

Dell U2412M

Any Stock HD 7970 will do as it cost less than 28k. If you want a factory oc card then pay 30K+ & Get the MSI Lightning HD7970.

Get an intel i7 3770k + maximus V gene. If you are on budget then get AMD FX 8350.

Psu : corsair tx850 v2. Leave some headroom for another hd7970.

Get the ripjaws x kits or corsair vengeance lp kits.

Spend atleast 2k for a decent after market cooler.

Decent cabinet like NZXT source elite 211 or corsair carbide 300r will do the most.

As in the name, A factory OC card comes with a another 100 or more MHz, than a stock one. But for a factory one you pay more as you don't void any warranty. But if you go with a stock card, then you can OC by your own, but your going to VOID the warranty in case something goes wrong.

Since you are under tight budget, i suggest you to get a stock card & OC within safe limits like 1150 or 1200 in case with HD 7970.

RipjawX and Corsair Vengeance are Ram modules, you guessed it right.

Mate, if now I'm gonna get 850 W PSU and a high end Maximus V Gene MOBO, shan't I go for a dual gpu setup for around 30k? Would it be better than one 7970?

And if I opt for one 7970, is the 850 W PSU price worth its future proof stuff?

P.S: I'm also thinking to wait till next month's digit comes into the market.
