^^rijinpk1, XEON e3 1225v3 is Hyper-Threading enabled Processor, having 4 C/8T configuration. It is basically a i7 4770 with ECC memory support. And if OP is not into overclocking, it is a perfect choice.

nope. it is the 1230 v3 which has hyper-threading ;)

Hey guys, thanks for helping me out there. I finally ended up with following config:

Intel i5 3.4 GHz 4670k
Asus Z87 A Motherboard
Zotac Nvidia geforce gtx 770
Kingston HyperX Beast DDR3 8 gb RAM
Cooler Master 700Watt PSU
Thermaltake Chaser MK-I cabinet
Dell s2440l

Now, I need to get a UPS. My society's generator starts within 5 min, so basically I need to avoid the fluctuation. I wanna get something as cheap as possible(max 2.5k) which should sustain above config for 10-15 min. Any ideas?

Get these instead as they are very VFM:

Intel i5 4570 -14000,
Asus B85M-D3H -5500,
Sapphire/HIS R9 290 4GB -33000,
Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz -5800,
Seasonic SS650KM3 -7500,
Thermaltake Chaser MK-I -10500,
Dell S2440L LED 24" -13000,
APC 1.1KVA -5500.
TOTAL -94800.

I have already bought the configuration I mentioned above. Now for the UPS, I just wanna make sure if a 600VA ups from APC would be sufficient for my config?

The BR600 VS is rated at 360 W which is too below the power consumed by your PC. You'll need at least an 800 VA UPS, preferably an APC RS 1.1 kVA UPS.

apc 1100va is what you should get.

Just wanted to ask the OP what is the exact model of that Cooler Master 700W PSU.

It's this one:
Cooler Master Thunder 700 Watts PSU
Cooler Master Thunder 700 Watts PSU - Cooler Master: Flipkart.com

I was under the impression that the whole 700 Watts won't be used. In a general scenario I would be using like 300 W, and multiplying with power factor inverse 300*1.5 = 450 VA UPS should suffice. Lets drag it to 600 VA (which is the UPS I mentioned above) , 600 * 0.7 ~ 400W. Wouldn't this be sufficient, I just have to wait for like 5 min for backup to kick in.
