for ssd, i would choose pro version.
for cabinet, all selected ones are good. choose whichever you like.
for the cpu, if you choose 1240v3, you will have to get a new gpu now. so i would advice you to get 1245v3 and 280x(?dont you want to play games??) later.
for the hdd, get black/red/blu. black has 5 years of warranty. red has 3 years and blue has 2 years.

By the way, Flipkart is offering 5% flat discount on several PC components, of which below components you have selected.
Asus H87 Pro Mobo at 9516/-
CM Hyper TX3 EVO at 1506/-
RAM you've already suggested me 8GB at 4500.
If you're planning to buy partial online, then this could be good option for saving few bucks too.

Also please consider adding more fans to cabinet for proper air flow. I'm contemplating CM 12MM Silent Fans X 4

for the fans, always go for higher CFM ones. they are best and having great air flow. i would advice to go with cooler master xtra flow fans.

Checked CM XtraFlo fan. They're almost double powerful than CM 12MM, but also costs more than double. CM 12MM package contains 4 fans priced at 940 which seems reasonable to me.
I daily check for pricing for the things... (and they change most on flipkart) I am just hoping it stays just few more hrs so i can get it in next financial year

theitdepot.com has no 1230 V3 listed. It's 1230 V2 priced at 16500 there.

Oh okay, my bad then, sorry.
I thought you're referring prices from their website.I wonder how come they priced V2 & V3 same. Anyways, at 16.5K 1230 V3 is awesome.
Differences Xeon/i7's ================= > ARK | Compare Intel® Products
Bus Type - DMI for Xeon's / DMI2 for i7
With i7's we lose some of these features
ECC Memory Support
Intel® Flexible Display Interface (Intel® FDI)
Intel® Fast Memory Access
Intel® Flex Memory Access
OS Guard
With Xeon's we lose some of these features
Intel® Insider
Intel® Wireless Display
Intel® My WiFi Technology
Anti-Theft Technology
With K's we lose some of these features
Intel® vPro Technology
Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d)
Intel® TSX-NI
Trusted Execution Technology
I am more inclined towards Xeon's as i might convert it to server in future...
But when i choose them i will miss
-OC'ing (which i want to try out as i use pc for my work and entertainment...)
-Intel® Wireless Display & Intel® My WiFi Technology (on Smart TV and like)
So depending on pricing, and features on Motherboard i will look into these in more detail and decide finally before emptying my pocket.
- - - Updated - - -
And looking to get windows 8 pro where should i get it from... i have the following options
1) buy it locally from shops
2) buy it online on Indian sites
3) or from newegg and download the OS?
Which one would be good

Wow! That's really good price for Xeon processors.
Why do you want to opt for i7 when Xeon is available for much lesser? Also, you could save few bucks by going for Gigabyte H87M-D3H which costs around 7700/-.

I am getting 4770 @ 20k so there is less difference to consider (and i will not be getting GPU now so 1230 out of equation)
And have a strong affinity to ASUS as i had no single problem till date on about 6-8 pcs
Ordered most and will be getting most in next few days
