The above configuration is good. Just change the Graphics card to Sapphire HD 7790 1 GB GDDR5 @ 10K (SAPPHIRE GRAPHICS CARD HD 7790 1GB DDR5).
The reason is most of the Adobe Tools are now coming with GPU acceleration using OpenCL and we all know than AMD GCN architecture based HD 7000 series cards are far more superior in compute performance than their nVidia counterparts.

^^ 2 modifications I would suggest.

1. Get 8 GB Ram instead of 4 GB.
2. Get HD7850 instead of 650Ti if budget permits.

+1 to Cilus point that AMD 7xxx series OpenCL performance is far superior to nVidia cards. Exactly same reason I proposed 7850 :)

+1 to what Cilus said...

I forgot for a split second that 7790 is available now...
And he can add another ram stick later if it exceeds budget too much at the moment...

SSD or Ram can be added anytime later. Right now lets concentrate on the main components like CPU, Mobo and GPU which we don't change or upgrade frequently.

Thanks a lot all also could you please let me know your view's on following configuration, (my assembler gave me today )

1: Processor : Intel core i7 3770
2: Mobo : Intel DH77EB
3: RAM : 8 GB (1600MHz)
4: HDD : 1 TB WESTERN DIGITAL SATA
5: Cabinet : Cooler Master Elite 431
6: PSU : CoolerMaster 600 watt


Total he is saying will cost me Rs. 44352/-

Thanks,
Ashish

1st of all, stay away from the Cooler Master PSU. Most of the retailers here suggest the high wattage Cooler Master Extreme/Extreme Plus series PSU which are known as Time Bomb by the review sites. They are of very poor quality and fail rate is very high. Stick with the Corsair or Seasonic PSU suggested over here.

Regarding Processor and Motherboard choice, i7 3770 is good but it will increase the system cost and I don't think you can accomodate a good Graphics card in your budget which is necessary for Gaming, Rendering works and will provide you a performance boost while using different Adobe applications with GPU Acceleration support.
