Now that Phenom series is disappearing from market. The Sub 40K mir-range gaming config should also mention alternate Intel Config with Core i3 2100.

Ok, one latest findings.
1TB Seagate internal HDD with 64MB Cache, 7200rpm & Sata III which means 6GBps priced at 5.5k - Source S.P Road Bangalore.
This HDD have the same specs as WD Cavair Black & i hope its a Value for Money Product atm. Especially for RAID 0 or 1 or 0+1.
Price of Seagate 500GB 7200.12 is 4.7k & the above is 5.5k.

Guys, we will be soon needing to replace the AMD card in the 100k budget with the GTX 680. The 680 beats it at each bench hands down. And Newegg is also listing cards at $499 although every card is out of stock for now.

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1
or
will Nvidia release other mainstream kepler models at lower prices targeting 7770, 7850, 7870 etc
does this mean AMD will reduce prices of 7970 and 7950 and hence adjust prices of all the cards in the range to meet performance per dollar.

Price cut will be there soon not now. AMD probably wont hit any panic button till the 680 is out in the streets. Till now there are no mainstream models out of Kepler only the high end 680. The market will be filled with activity. Remember though Nvidia are quite very late to the party.

Yes compatible. Although you can change case to NZXT Source 210 or Gamma
No point spending so much on iBall IMO.
