Get Kingston Hyper x blue ram - Kingston HyperX Blu DDR3 4 GB PC RAM (KHX1600C9D3B1/4G) - Kingston: Flipkart.com

Much better than vengence in OC

Seasonic M12II - 650 @ RS 6800 is my recommendation


Seasonic M12II-650 650 Watts PSU - Seasonic: Flipkart.com

Rest is Good.

@harshilsharma63 - I think Corsair 400R would be sufficient for me, as it has 3 fans with it.
I can add 5k for a better components in PC...

Also, can I have a single stick of 8GB Kingston hyperX Blu inplace of 2x4GB

Cannot go with Seasonic as its service handler Tirupati Enterprises is not in Lucknow. Insted will be going for Corsair, as Kaizen has an office locally

Was wanting to go with a single stick of 8 GB as I will be forced to add another in future...

Will be going with Asus GRYPHON-Z87 @ 14.3k as it offers 5 years warranty
ASUS R9 280X Direct Cooling II Top Edition 3GB (R9280X-DC2T-3GD5) is much better as compared to Sapphire DualX R9 280X
Replacing Corsair GS600 with Corsair CMPSU-650TX 650 Watts PSU @ 6.5k [flipkart]

Since you are going to overclocking with your Haswell based Processors, my suggestion is to get a better cooler. Haswell runs hotter than their Ivy Bridge counter parts and needs better CPU cooler than Hyper 212 EVO for 4 GHz+ overclocking. Try something like DeepCool Ice Blade pro, available around 3K in Theitwares.com.
