1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: I would like to use it for games like Battlefield 3, Farcry 3, Assasins Creed 2, NFS MW 2012, COD MW2, Street Fighters x Tekken

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 12-16k

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Not in near future

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

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 500 GB

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 will use my existing Samsung SyncMaster 740N 17-inch LCD Monitor, 1280 x 1024 resolution

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Monitor, Speakers, Keyboard and Mouse

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Within a month (* I know I might sound crazy when I mention this but - I can defer the purchase for a month or two if there is a possibility of any "drastic" price fall)

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

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: Will try the local market first. No problem in buying from online shops if its economic to do so

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I will not be able to upgrade the configuration frequently (I will use the new one for at least 4 years), I am being "coerced" :-D into buying a good gaming configuration by my younger brother and I whole-heartily want to fulfill his demand.I have no bias/fanboy-ism for intel/amd or amd/nvidia. In all I am looking for an efficient config for above req at best prices.:)
* P.S. - I was once constrained to use a P-4 (yes! , was "gifted" to me) which was an absolute waste for money, I own it today also and it is absolutely obsolete in today's terms. I don't want my brother to feel the same constraint after 4 years (Atleast not that much obsolescence)

The minimum for gaming for your current resolution IMO is:

i3 3220 (7000)
Gigabyte B75MDH3 (4000)
Corsair Value Select 4GB (1900)
Sapphire HD7750 1GB (6700)

total: 19600

AMD A10-5800K - 8k
FM2 Mobo of your choice - 5k
Corsair XMS3 - Rs 1.9k
Fits in your budget, will give you medium gaming experience

1. Can i cut some price by considering the amd alternative ?
2. In your opinion, won't I be able to draw a decent performance for above requirements via Saphhire hd 7750 1gb ddr5 ?

The FM2 based APU already has a decent entry level GPU built in which should provide you with good performance at games played at your current resolution..
You may upgrade to a higher end GPU in the future

7750 will give moderate performance. If price is the issue, then Nerevarine's suggested config is the one you should go for. You'll be able to enjoy games at medium settings at your current resolution.

Alright, thanks and if I plan to improve the gaming performance on the config suggested by Nerevarine, will I have some possibilities i.e, will I be able to comfortably upgrade or this config will act as a dead end

Not really.. The processor will be a dead end as AMD A10 -5800k is the fastest APU released till today
But you will be able to upgrade GPU though

If buys a GFX card after one year or two. The iGPU of the A10 will go waste. Whereas the I5 + a GFX card will easily beat the A10

What if I knockout the miser in me and get I5 3450 + Sapphire HD7750 1GB,
now will this config nail the ultra//high settings ?
I know that in today's terms no config is future proof, but can I safely assume that it will be able to run the latest games (released/too be released) for the next 2 years at least,
pls give your suggestions, suggest any other comparable config in the revised budget +1000 k

very good combination.hd 7750 can easily handle games at 1280*1024res at high/ultra + you will have stronger cpu which means you can get high end gpus in future

If you plan to use the same mponitor (1280 x 1024) for quite some years, then the combination you mentioned is okay. BUT, if you plan to upgrade, then get 7770 instead.

Ok, then so it comes to - I5 3450 + Sapphire HD7770 1GB
Now, IS Sapphire a good choice or should I consider another options?
With the games starting to grow more demanding, should I consider 6 core/8 core FX series by AMD?
How much difference will I have if I use a FX 6100/8150 in place of i5 ?

Also there are two HD 7770's present at Flipkart -
Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card

Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 OC Edition 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
