For HDD Western Digital Black should be preferred as OP has Enough Budget.
Additionally A ssd Can be added for apps and OS.

760 sli

skip the SSD for now go for WD Black 1 TB.
get H100i

 

[harshilsharma63]

+1 for 760 sli. And an i7 is totally unnecessary for gaming.

My suggestion:

i5 4670k (16000)
Asus Z87A (12000)
G.Skill ripjawsX 8 GB 1600 MHz (4500)
Seagate Barracuda 2 TB (7000)
Asus GTX760 DCII OC version SLI (43000)
Corsair GS600 (5100)
Corsair 400R (5800)
Dell S2340L (12000)
CM hyper 212 Evo (2600)

total: 108k

See if you can get this and manage a good KB and mice.

What about the Asus Z87 k ? 11000 rupees

For the PSU:

Seasonic S12II 620 5255
Corsair GS600 5364
Corsair TX650 6525

Which one?

Oh, I didn't saw s12II 620 W is available for 5255. Seasonic S12II 620 W any-day over GS600 and TX650.

Corsair TX650M @7000 is good but if you can manage Seasonic SS-650KM @ 7500 is very good as it is fully modular & 80% Gold rated.
Why cannot you go for AMD FX 8350 instead of Intel BTW.

Guys, there is a rumor that Brodwell, successor of Hashwell, which was supposed to used same LGA1150 motherboard, now going to use a new socket due to the VRM issues faced in Haswell design, having integrated VRM module. So my suggestion is to get a 3770K instead of any of the Haswell based Processors. 3770K performs almost same as 4770K (only 7% slower), overclocks better and available at 3K cheaper price.

Intel performs better in games.. Much better Single threaded performance..

Hmm.. Most Probably I will buy an i5 4670k or an i7 4770.. But AS for Case I think I have decided on Corsair Carbide 400r.
Water Cooling will be by the H80i..

Report: Upcoming Intel 9-Series Chipsets May Not Support Current Haswell CPUs

Intel performs better in games

have some knowledge by googling please. for amd a good graphic card can be included for "budget people" whereas for intel, mobo+cpu costs a lot which makes less room to have a good graphic card which spoils the gaming experience. For high budget people there will be no issuses.

Much better Single threaded performance.

are you living in 2000 era using single threaded softwares only, then i give up. almost all softwares nowadays are multicore friendly.

Apart from iTunes audio conversion engine

@OP; what have you decided?

You are correct when you say that most software has multi-core support.. But not to the extent that it uses all 8 cores..
With the exception of some software like WinZip,andencoding/streaming software, all other software runs better on the Intel.
Please do your OWN research.. In games a stock Intel i5 4670k can beat a 4.8Ghz FX8350..... The overclocked AMD is 10-20 FPS lower in it's overclocked state..

Btw Intel has much much higner IPC than AMD.. and that helps it make up the difference when a software actually uses 4+ cores
And with software which uses <4 cores, It beat AMD by a big margin.

Not the Intel vs AMD fight again. Let's work on your use case. If you go by rumors, any Intel processor available is a dead end. Now go with whatever your are comfortable with. And don't consider individual components, see what effect they make on the whole system.

On more question Guys:

MSI Nvidia GTX770 2GB Gaming Edition - Rs.32300
MSI Radeon 7970 3GB 950mhz Rs.32184
Sapphire 7970 OC 3GB 1000mhz Rs.30899
ASUS HD7970 OC 3GB DC2T 30488

What should I go for?

Any idea if AMD's never settle bundle is active for these cards?

I will be buying the Seasonic S12II 620W, which should handle the i5 (~90W)+ GPU(250W) + Water cooling + Otherstuff
The rig should consume around 360-430W at peak.. and I wil have headroom all the way upto 620W.

So.. 7970OC vs GTX770?
Because The Overclocked models here are not Ghz Edition.. and the GTX770 beats a Ghz Edition.. and the MSI card is slightly overclocked.. I think 7970 is AMD never settle Gold tier.. so I will get 3 free games.. And how do I redeem this? Where will I get the codes? Will i have to contact Flipkart for them?

770 is slightly faster than 7970. But I would still suggest you to get a 760 SLI if you can.

 

[Techguy]

GTX 760 costs around 20k.. SLI will mean I'll be spending ~40k i.e. 40% of my total on GPU's alone.. Plus I feel SLI is not worth the hassle.. SLI Profiles, scaling etc..

I'm confused about the Motherboard..
I might do a little oc'ing..

So, A nice basic reliable motherboard... Preferably ASUS, but toher brands like Gigabyte will do.. How abt MSI and Asrock?
The only prob with the ASUS z87K is only 3 audio ports at the back..
All others.. even H67 boards have more...

So suggestions for :
1. H87
2. Z87

Motherboards Please. Thanking you in advance
