not reading all the replies, but the basic config should be an i5 + 7770.

the 7770 will eat up the games for 1280x1024..

the i5 will be able to handle the games for the next 2-3 years easy peasy.

and a CX430V2 should be the basic choice in PSU.. even better if you go into GS series / Seasonic

get an el cheapo cabinet and replace it later with a good one..
Cabinets are easy to replace but components like GPU, CPU or mobo are hard to upgrade once bought

8GB DDR3 Ram (Zion) with heat sink - 4.2k
Cool Master 500W - 3300

Lets assume one opts for i3 + 7850.
A year(probably less) down the line when you want to upgrade the processor, you will have to change the mobo as well. Why? Because after haswell, IB is going to be in a phase out mode (think about those with lga775 sockets now). Its going to be tough getting the right proc, mobo.
If its i5 + 7770, then just change the GPU. A quad core is easily going to last longer and GPU will be backward compatible.

Mentioned this already in short-

Why go so much future proof ?

btw The only con I see with my suggestion is that the OP will have to buy a used i5 but it is no worry I guess

Well I guess not everyone is comfortable with 2nd hand product, I am so suggested accordingly. For me none of the upgrade (gpu or cpu) would be a problem down the line.

change RAM to something from Gskill or Corsair (Try Flipkart)
and change the PSU to CX500v2

Here 300rs cheaper GPU -

You should get it around 7.6k-7.8k locally. 8.3k is a little high
