@vish, better you could have suggested the mobo + proccy combo as well, did not go through much,

core i5 3550 - Intel 3.3 GHz FCLGA1155 Core i5 3550 Processor | Processor | Flipkart.com -- 2K saved

Motherboard ASUS ASUS P8Z77-VLX Motherboard vs ASUS P8Z77-M PRO Motherboard vs Gigabyte GA-H77-DS3H Motherboard vs ASUS ASUS P8H77-V Motherboard: Compare Motherboards: Flipkart.com
You will have to choose mobo as per your budget. Gigabyte board is quiet good and preferred board for H77 chipset in case of Z77 you can have Asus VLX or M-Pro, Asus H77-V though good does not have much edge.
Also Z77 chipset is considered in case you are looking for OC, but they are also performance boards hence you can easily go with Z77 boards as well even though you are not OCing

Get an hd7870 for around 18-19k or an hd7950 for 23k.
Compute performance of hd7870 is much greater than gtx660ti.In viewport renderings radeons are much faster than the geforce counterparts.
In MAYA,Pro/Engineer,Ensight,Catia,Solidworks, etc the radeons are much faster than the geforce.
In games hd7950>gtx660ti>hd7870.After 12.11 beta drivers hd7870 is much closer to gtx660ti often beating it in games when more AA is applied.

For rest,The Incinerator's config is quite good.You can go for a modular PSU like corsair HX650@6.8k to save you from the hassles of cable-management.

For 3D animation and the likes I wouldnt recommend ATi cards. I have faced problems with their drivers and various modules. Nvidia has much better driver Integration. Rest is up to the Op.

As far as drivers as concerned under windows it is not like nvidia has advantages over amd or vice-versa.In forum it has already been proved by Ico how geforce cards are crippled in compute in applications like MAYA.They are slower in maya viewport rendering.Even the hd6000 series card were faster than the geforce 500 series counterparts in maya viewport rendering.

*i.imgur.com/INnzy.png?1 *i.imgur.com/bxMB3.png?1

In both the tests hd7750 beats the nvidia professional cards.This was with catalyst 12.1 drivers.Many other tests on image-editing applications like Musemage have been done by tomshardware and other reviewers with good results without any driver problem.Driver errors are faced by both sides when it comes to 3D rendering and animation applications in gaming cards.There can be instances when a radeon card system might refuse to start or crash while similar things can also happen with geforce cards in other applications.In Blender even though the radeons are faster on viewport rendering they are not that fast in cycles rendering.
When it comes to MAYA,Pro/Engineer,Ensight,Catia,Solidworks,lightwave and other CAD applications GCN based HD7000 series card are much superior to gtx600/500 series cards.

I have been through that piece of article before. But Im still skeptical in taking that piece of information in my stride. Buying mainstream ATi cards for pro work is still not my cup of tea,Nvidia is better off,thats completely my view you are free to differ.
Now off late FirePro is a different story altogether.
