Alternatives i am getting locally are in RED
Please suggest on the alternatives, is it ok to go with these?
Mobo is not worth the money. It's got driver issues(as someone mentioned on NewEgg) and has only 4+2phase design which is not recommended for overclocking. Try to find the ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 or at least ASRock Z68 Extreme 3 Gen 3. If ASRock is not at all available then go for ASUS P8Z77-V. It's a little more expensive but it's a great board with great reviews.
Don't buy Sony drives, they go bad pretty fast. try to get the ASUS one from flipkart.
Corsair 300R is a good cabinet.
I've no idea about monitors
PS: You're being grossly overcharged for the RAM. I bought the exact same for 2000(though it was a pricing error on flipkart). Market price is around 3000 so it's still 1000 overcharge which is stupid! Also you're getting a real sweet price for the i5-2500k. Grab that first before the shopkeeper changes his mind

BMG ftw!!
@OP: Gskill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL availible @3K
Order 2x Gskill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9S-4GBXL @1.5K from flipkart.
You got that too? nice.
Price of 2500K normal IMO (which is all time high)

Then start trusting ASRock motherboards.. I think you should go for the ASUS GENE V PRO as being a bit over budget, its worth the price tag and is one of the best motherboards..
For monitor go with the same BenQ G2222HDL as its again the best monitor for the price I think..

Try getting Asus maximus iv gene z at 13k. It ir a z68 board and offers good features with high OCing potential.
asus maximus v gene is the only one available :/ is it not good?
No worry about budget, already extended to 80K now lol i just want the best xD
Getting system in 2-3 days now, still not sure about mobo (should i get maximus v gene?) and 24" monitor (benq v2410 is not available)

It is not at all necessary to go for a z77 board. A Z68 board is also fine for OCing. If you can extend budget to get Maximus v gene Z then no problem, else go for P8Z68-v or P8Z68-V pro. They'll be slightly cheaper than Maximus V.
i have the budget of 16k for mobo and i am getting maximus v in market for 16k. No problem about the budget all i want to know is if i can afford maximus v should i go for it or any better option then this?
Final config. i am going with :
Motherboard | Asus maximus v gene|16400 RAM |Gskill Ripjaws 8GB 1600 fsb single module|4000
Graphic Card |SAPPHIRE HD7850 Dual X Active|16000
HDD |Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200, 64mb Cache|5500
DVD Writer |Sony DRW-24B3ST|1000
PSU |Seasonic S12II-620W|4900
Case |Corsair 300R|3950
Monitor | ?????(benq v2410 not available)|15k max Keyboard & Mouse |Logitech MK200|700
UPS |APC 800va|3000
| Total|67450 + (24"led monitor price upto 15K)=82450
Monitor required now 24" led 1080p up2 15k??
Finally you replied
.. But coming down from maximus v gene the only board i am getting is p8z77 v Lx :/
