2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: For CPU, mother board and 8GbRAM Rs35000.

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: only if required.

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans:Win 7.

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: I have 1Tb HDD and will get 120GB SDD.

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: No I have Dell 22in HD LED.

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: I have
GPU: Sapphire AMD 6950 2GB
PSU: Sesonic 520watt,
Mouse:Razer Deathadder

Logitech Keyboard
NZXT Gamma Cabinet

Ans: Immediately after Diwali.

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Yes I have built desktop before.

10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: I live in Jamnagar-Gujarat, I will try to get Mother board and CPU locally will get RAM online. I am used to get things online if they are not available locally which happens lot of the time.

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I want to know that my current GPU would be enough or should I upgrade it. I don't want my GPU to create bottleneck in my new system. I am planning to Sli/crossfire after 1 year not necessary but if extra room is there I will do it so suggest me Motherboard with 2 GPU support also.

your current gpu is fine for 900p gaming may be for next 1 year.later you might need a upgrade.

it is always better to get strong single gpu rather than multigpu setup

Your present GPU is more than sufficient for now.

Intel Core i5 4670k -16100,
Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz 8GB -5300,
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming -14200. (Multi-GPU Support)
TOTAL -35600.

Thank you guys for reply. How is AMD FX 8350? How are Gigabyte Mother Boards( AMD/Intel)? I have Coolermaster CPU Cooler with 2 fans( without water cooling) for my unlocked AMD Phenom2, can I use it with new CPU?( AMD/Intel) If yes then I will overclock. I think i will stick to one GPU then as Ashis said.

yes 8350 is also good,but i5 is slightly faster than it in gaming.Gigabyte make good quality board,you can get it with eyes closed

As far i know aftermarket cpu coolers are universal compatible with all sockets,so you use it.

That's wise decision to stick with single gpu :)

there are exceptions such as Noctua NH-L9i ;), and some cheap coolers from DeepCool and some mid range coolers from Antec, Thermalright but the trend of making cpu cooler compatible for one manufacturer only is getting obsolete.
