Don't get FX6100 as it is not a good gaming CPU, in most cases beaten by the older Phenom II X4 processors.

Here is the suggestion:-

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T @ 9.5K
Gigabyte GA-970-UD3 @ 6.6K
G-skill RipjawX 4GB 1600 MHz @ 1.55K
NZXT Source 210 Elite @ 2.4K
Seasonic S12II 620 @ 4.6K
Gigabyte HD 7850 2 GB GDDR5 @ 15.2K

Total ~ 40K

Away from Forums, Again!
Instead of buying those used components, you should be better off by buying new ones which will even perform better than those used components. Config suggested by Cilus is good, except save some bucks and go for Seasonic S12II 520W instead of 620W as you will never use that much power with that config :)

Thanks for your advice guys. I thought I was getting a sweet deal but i had no idea that the components were quiet old. I was simply mesmerized by the PC cabinet and to see two graphic card running at the same time... :lol:

NZXT Source 210 Elite @ 2.4K

Very good suggestion.
@OP: Just to add another option to you, You may buy Corsair GS600 @4.1K as availability of Seasonic PSUs might be a problem at some parts in India.
