ditch amd & get intel i5 non-k 4xxx processor.for a 90k gaming system that's a no brainer & the only option worth considering.cooler master elite 430 is also in this category.get corsair 300r or the newer coolermaster models.a 80mm fan is useless for such a system,get at least 2 120mm fans.change psu to seasonic or antec.that samsung monitor is old & not much known,get dell S2240L which is a good model & bought by many here with good feedback.

I see there is not much difference between gtx 770 and r9-280X. Better to go with AMD here. Not going to change my configuration coz then everyone's suggestion would be same

i chose it cause i don't have an Ac in my room. ( here in Kerala the temp is as high as 34 to 38 all the time.)

Won't be a problem. CPU cooler is a non essential component. You can check performance with stock cooler and later on add it if you need. IMO with a good cabinet, cpu cooler won't be required
