thanks for the replies!

I really wanna go with the intel proc! and i was told crosair ram is better than gskill?

also i dont really trust WD..id rather go for seagate!
and gtx670 is rather pricy dont u think? id invest in a good mobo and proc..and go for MSI 7850 oc editon.

bro all the prices you quoted are off by more or less 500 bucks each i.e not including the tax!

questions:
1.) what about i7 2600k
2.) msi 7850 power edition twin frozr 4 performs better than stock 7870!
3.) im not gonna overclock so i dont think i need cooler as of now..maybe in future...then il buy it! wwill that be feasible?
4.) do i really need vengeance?

1. i5 2500k is not really bad for you.
2. you can always overclock a 7870 so that no 7850 comes close to it.
you may look this for your reference
7850 vs 7870
3. obviously yes it will be feasible
4.yeah better if you get it, else you can go for this :
Corsair DDR3 4 GB

If you are not gonna OC, then you don't need a K series CPU.

@OP The i7 2600k is for some CPU intensive tasks. It is overkill for gaming. Its sibling i5 2500k is the optimum chip you should have for high-end gaming.

Intel Core i5 2500k: 13k
ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3: 8k
Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3 1600MHz: 1.7k
Seagate 1TB: 5.5k
BenQ G2420HD: 10k
Gigabyte GV-R787OC 2GD(7870 Oc): 22k
Cooler Master Elite 430: 2.5k
Corsair TX 650: 5.5k
ASUS 24x DVD writer: 1k
Total: 69.2k
If you want you can go for the ASRock Z77 Extreme6 @13k but you will have to opt for a 7850 instead.

i will definately think about i5 but the confusion is the fact that what after 4 5 years?
and i am talking about the msi 7850 power edition oc to 1ghz twin frozr 4..that beats stock 7870.

I visited Nehru place a week ago.
These prices are from computer empire, smc and other few shops.
Online prices are more.

Q1.) what about i7 2600k
Ans. i5 2500k is good for gaming and you can oc it to 4.5 easily.So dont waste money on i7 2600k instead spend on GPU.
Q2.) msi 7850 power edition twin frozr 4 performs better than stock 7870!
Ans. This is not true. 7870 is better.
Q3.) im not gonna overclock so i dont think i need cooler as of now..maybe in future...then il buy it! wwill that be feasible?
Ans.Yes if not overclocking stock cooler comes with i5 2500k is fine. But cooler just worth 2000.
Q4.) do i really need vengeance?
Ans. You can go with G.Skill Ripjaws their price difference is only 100. But my personal opinion is go with ram of 1600mhz so that you can oc it to 2133+

smc quoted me a price of 22k for 7870! which shop did u enquire from!?

ohk so im pretty much set in my mind about this whole thing, final thoughts:

1. is the normal corsair 1600mhz ram not enough? 8gb of ram im putting..
2. if i dont overclock the i5 2500k in the future will it bottleneck the 7870?
3. gigabyte z77mx-d3h anyone?
