If the processor is intel,
660/7850 can use 430w (Corsair cx430v2 @ 2.6k)
7870/660ti can use 500w (Corsair GS500 @ 4k, Seasonic 520w @ 3.9k)
I would suggest a 500w psu to be safe.
Fans use like 4-5w each.
Link me the price source please.
I cant find anything less than 1k difference between seasonic 520w and 620w.
OP hasnt mentioned anything about future upgrades. It wont matter unless OP changes the gpu,proc or a whole new system.

You can save 1k by getting a 500Gb HDD. Else, the only option is to wait and save.

Okay, so I could go for SeaSonic 520W and save as many bucks it helps saving for other components. Thanks
I'd not want to go anything below 1TB, so sadly that 1K has to remain with HDD.
I'll reevaluate inputs from all members and think of postponing some components for later times to accommodate better GPU.
That seems good suggestion. Somewhat similar to what I've arrived at but with better motherboard and decent gpu.
By the way, the prices you've mentioned are real market prices and are they updated?
For some reasons, If my budget could be raised above 65K, let's say upto 70K, what enhancements will you all suggest?

2)Cm hyper evo 212 @rs 2100

Wouldn't you suggest better GPU instead cabinet? As I've already mentioned getting Cabinet Fans & CPU cooler after 2 months or whenever I will plan on OCing.

Okay, I'll post the updated config after doing some study over everyone's feedback and then you all can help me improve over it if possible.
Just wanted to confirm that the prices you all have been sharing are real market prices and are updated, because I will base my calculations on them in that case.

I think most members post prices which wither they've experienced or from mdcomputers. I post them from mdcomputers and those are the prices at which the product is generally available. You may also get certain products cheaper than the suggested prices. You should make a list of parts; even those which appear to be over the budget; and get price quotes from various local shops.

Below seems to be final config except GPU.
CPU: i5-3570K 14200
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H 12000
RAM: GSkill RipjawsX 8GB 3800
HDD: Seagate 1GB 3800
Cabinet: NZXT Gamma 2600
PSU: SeaSonic S12II 620W 4800
GPU: Sapphire HD 7870 XT with Boost 18400
Monitor: Dell S2240L 8800
DVD: Asus 24X 1150
KB/Mouse: Normal multimedia combo 800
Speaker: Creative / other brand 2.1 with Woofer 2000
Totals: 72350. Since prices are approximate, I am expecting 1K+ or 1K- in it depending on pricing when I make purchase.
Now, I haven't shared with you all, but my original budget is 50K only and rest I have to manage within the price I get for my existing system. Config is in my signature.
How much do you all think I could get for my existing config?
Few ways I am thinking to accommodate 7870 in my budget:
1. Purchase 4GB RAM now and add more after 2 months. This will save me around 2000.
2. Buy speakers within 1500 only to save on around 500 there.
3. Buy cheap chinese made KB / Mouse worth 300 only for now to save up another 500 and get good one later.
Total 3000 savings will help me keep config under budget along with best core components.
On other side, I'm thinking to lower GPU to GTX 660 2GB or 7850HD 2GB to bring config down to my budget.

You can use the sata HDD, optical drive, speakers. Rest can go for 5-6k, although I'm not sure.

Not planning to use any of old component and most would be out of warranty. 5k-6k only? I was expecting 15K+.

That is gonna hurt my budget again
Let's see what best I could get and accordingly will make changes in GPU.I believe the new config is final in that case.
Thank you all once again.

Since I am planning to buy NZXT Gamma which comes with only 1 fan fitted, I am planning to buy extra 2 - 3 fans.
Which size fan would be better? 90CM / 120CM / 140CM?
What should be ideal RPM for effective cooling?
Any economical deal / package available?
