You can go with the above config.,get a 7950 instead of 7970,put that money in getting a better motherboard.Also go for corsair tx 750 instead of the seasonic PSU.

Sainatarajan, currently Hyper 212+ is not available and replaced by Hyper 212 Evo which is priced similarly and more efficient. So OP should go with Hyper 212 Evo. For Graphics card, stick with HD 7970.

Since the requirement was for pure gaming and OCing, I wanted to configure an intel 3570k rig, but ended up with the 7950+boost.:razz:
Hard to beat Sainatarajan's config here due to the 7970.
+1 to that.

A tx650v2 will work here. If anything higher is preferred, opt for modular PSUs.

:agree: an HD7950 can match the performance of hd7970 by overclocking.

lol wut ?? any proof..

HD 7970 wins anyday with 1080p resolution or plus anyday & anytime considering the fact sheets, but won't be noticable to normal human eyes while play games except few title can bring both to their knees.

HD 7970 performs at par, which is quite noticable while running Crysis 3 at max settings, whereas HD 7950 might cry...

Summing up. A HD 7970 is 15% faster than a HD 7950 at stock and a OC 7950 can decrease the gap by another 7-10% easily. So no doubt HD 7950 is a VFM card here. HD 7950 at 21-22k is the bang for buck card considering its price & performance. on the other hand HD 7970 can cost above 28k with just an performance gap of 8-15% than a HD 7950.

Also its less noisy, temps are chilled out & More power efficient than a HD 7970.

Fact sheet :

HD 7950 OC vs HD 7970 OC vs GTX 580 vs HD 6970

Well reasons for choosing an AMD setup here:-

1. The games you've mentioned, especially Crysis 3 and Far Cry 3 are multi-threaded in nature and they run very well in AMD 8 Core Processor, matching or sometimes beating i5 3570K.

2. For Intel rig, and unlocked K series processor will cost you around 14K and a good Z77 Motherboard around 9K. As a result you have to sacrifice on other components. Now FX-8350 comes within 12K and a good AMD 970 chipset based motherboard comes at 6K+, resulting significant lowering of the cost.

3. Gaming at 1080P (1920 X 1080) or higher resolution becomes more GPU dependent than CPU dependent. So FX-8350 + HD 7970 will always perform better than i5 3570 + HD 7950 combination.

4. Apart from gaming, in most of the other multi-threaded apps like Video Encoding, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere, Compression software like Winzip, Winrar or 7Z, FX-8350 is ahead of i5-3570K. In fact it sometimes matches the performance of i7 3770K.
