So, guys the new config goes as (Flipkart prices, except for CPU/Mobo)
Processor AMD FX-8350 ~ 11500
Asus Sabertooth 990FX ~ 13500
Corsair Vengeance 4GBx2 1600 MHz CL9 ~ 3500
CPU Cooler CM Hyper 212 EVO ~ 2200
GPU Sapphire HD7870 2 GB HDMI OC Edition ~ 18000
HDD Toshiba 1 TB ~ 4000
SSD Samsung-840 120GB ~ 6200
PSU Seasonic S12II 620 ~ 5400
Bitfenix Merc Alpha USB 3.0 Version ~ 2900
OS Windows 7 Home Premium 7000
Total 74200
Now, since the budget is still exceeding, seems i've to go away with either the CPU cooler or change my mobo to Asus M5A99FX PRO Ver 2.0. I already have a Windows 7 Home Basic 32 Bit. Can it be upgraded to Home premium 64 Bit....?? If so, then i can save on the cost of New OS.
you can get the fx 8350, but its overshooting your budget by a good amount. Even then
there is no certainty that a 990FX board will be able to provide all features to the steamroller cpu in the future (if you are considering amd only for future proofing)
i suggest skip the SSD, or get intel
that thing is horribly optimized(read biased) for INTEL.
which is a benchmark not optimized (Read biased) to any processor? ill post them.
i cant hotlink images from hardware secrets... so i think you guys will have to read the results through here.

For people who are not aware, PC Mark and Sysmark suits are extremely biased to Intel CPU and there are instances where a GPU computing of nVidia Cards were behind a Quad Core not HT Intel CPU. That is the reason, none of the other manufacturers like AMD, nVidia, VIA etc, don't support these benchmarks. These benchmarks are based on Intel Compiler which checks the CPUID before deciding the optimized Code paths for a benchmark execution. If it is Original INtel, then it uses the optimized path and otherwise the most unbaptized path. It has been proven long back...I guess you guys are not aware of the VIA nano issue.
i see the Quad core AMD beating the i5 3470 to dust in the sys mark 2012. only in 1 benchmark

I think OP will get confused now, so i will put up the main points in bold, suggesting why he should go for a intel based rig, others supporting amd kindly do the same..
And dont try to troll or the post will be reported and you will be banned.
1. Intel is more VFM, as for this current gen it beats the amd fx 8350 in almost all general uses except for some multithreaded apps, and 7zip etc.
2. Intel beats AMD handsdown in games, even if fps difference is 5-7 it will get more pronounced as new games come.
3. Overclocking any cpu, intel or amd will give a 15% gain at max in real world performance + good cooling ( 2k~4k on a new cooler + additional case fans )
4. AMD's steamroller which is highly anticipated has no clarity, We have no proof (as of yet) if the 990FX motherboards will support SR Processors, and if they do then what are the limitations
5. Future proofing with a 990FX seems a bad idea, because its 2013.. you wont change your config for atleast 2 years that means by the time its late 2014 or 2015 the pci-4 will be out.
6. Power requirement of SR processors is higher than the current vishera based cpus
7. You are going to end up spending a minimmum 22k on a bd upgradable package, a good motherboard and add another 3k = 25k
8. If you have to spend that much, get a gtx 680 / HD 7970 GHZ edition in the same budget which will result in better performance gains.
this is what i will suggest:
i5 3450 @ 10k
b75m mobo @ 4k
8gb drr3 @ 3k
Asus Matrix HD 7970 @ 35k
toshiba 1tb hdd @ 4k
corsair cx 500 @ 3.2k
nzxt gamma @ 2.5k
thats 60k , if you can find an update package for 3k ( 32bit to 64bit) and add a ssd for 6k , you have a killer rig.
