better create a thread 2 weeks before you/he intend to buy. 'upcoming months' doesn't give any clue and newer products gets released in the mean time. intel broadwell is ready for september launch(although i am not sure about high end broadwell cpus as i heard that intel delayed it for q3 2015(k series).)

I contacted him and here's what he thought about



i7-4770k
ASUS z97 board(which may be compatible with nextgen processors)
g.skill ripjaws 16GB RAM
Corsair 750W PSU


Currently not buying broadwell

620W PSU? I think 500W-550W should be enough.

Intel Core i7 4790 -20500,
MSI Z97 PC Mate -8000,
Corsair Vengeance 16GB(4GBx4) -9500,
WD Caviar Blue 1TB -3800,
Seasonic S12II 520 -4900,
Corsair 200R -4000,

TOTAL -51,400.

even 300W is enough for that rig. i suggested 620w because he told he would upgrade the gpu later and the 620W is enough for any single gpu set up.

Yesh.. And seasonic s12II 520 is 4950 and s12II 620 is 5255 in flipkart! So 620 watt psu is more value for money i think!
