Lets stop forcing anything, we have discussed both the options already with all the pro and cons, lets OP decide now.

i5 3570K + HD 7970, if OP can stretch his budget. But there are two things I want to point out. With the extra money saved if OP goes with FX configuration, he can easily opt for some factory overclocked HD 7970 cards like the Sapphire Vapor-X edition or the ASUS Direct CU II option. Those cards are highly overclocked version and come with the best build quality. There will also be further room for oveclocking.

Another thing: the FX series OP has a more prominent upgrade path. With Intel, 2013 Q2, Haswell will be launched, requiring a complete new socket based motherboard. And we know from our experience that in those cases how swiftly Intel just stop production of their previous gen CPU. On the other hand, AMD has already confirmed that AM3+ socket is going to support upcoming Stream Roller processors, hence offering a more prominent upgrade path.
Obviously those things can't be a deciding factor but can be considered value added benefits OP can get.

wow that really earns +1 for amd rig.....
And for gaming at 1080 will 7950 well not be enough I mean there is no large difference between the two...
But I think huge price gap is there if 7970 would be like @ 26k it would be justifiable....

asus direct cu2t @ 30500 is it a good card or vapor x is better.?

I would choose direct cu II over vapor-x anyday.

30.5k for dcII is very good.

Owing to its 1ghz core clock speed, it will perform similarly like a 7970 ghz edition out of the box.
That will also make it a tad faster than a reference gtx 680 in almost all games.

I suggest go for amd rig .... Its cheaper but I think I near future games will be becoming more processor dependent since processing power is going way up and developers would very much like to take its advantage...
Also u can change processor on amd rig(although i seriously doubt u will)
So for like 1-2 years go for amd rig and for like 2-3 years go for intel rig...(that is without changing processor)...

Also its also on the news that amd is continuously firing its to executives some of important faces of amd... So idk if the future of company is secured....

Thinking Economically u can go for amd config eyes closed ....

let the poll speak for itself

serially dude u want to take poll for that?
Its like if we try to take poll on every part then it will take a hell lot of time...
U live in india u should have known better than that ....
(no wonder that no important bill passes in the parliament)
sorry about this I mean no offence...

Lop, please confirm what your budget is in the 1st place. If it is 98K now then all the forum members here were wasting our times here. 85K to 98K is a huge jump, not just normal 5K to 7K jump which we suggest sometimes to get a better configuration. We all tried really hard to suggest the best thing at a budget of 85K, explaining everything and suddenly you say that now it is 98K.................not acceptable.

Regarding Monitor, we have already suggested you a better Display, explaining everything. So if you just want to change it with a not so better one without any reason, don't ask.

Its okay mate. I think your point is well justified. None of us suggested u a ups for your rig and you've chosen the perfect one.
We also respect your decision on buying original software and in this case its the OS.

I guess the discussion is still on track. Now its upto you how much you can spend.
If you can accommodate an i5 with a good z77 board, then get it. But fx 8350 based config will save you some good amount of money.
In this case, its your call. :)

I think i5 is good enough for gaming with 7970 .
But as op has 85000 budget he can opt for 7970 with i7 (i think)

i7 is quite unnecessary for a gaming rig unless you have other priorities attached as well.
Take an i5, upgrade gpu with the money saved.
