You can easily get GTX 970 based rig.As you not overclocking,so no need k series processor and z series mobo.

Browse through threads,there are many suggestions within that budget.

I have less knowledge about wifi routers but the one i'm using is TP-Link TD-W8968,which is very good with no issues,capable of running 2 floors without any signal lose...

Intel i5 4570-₹15,000.
MSI H97 PC MATE-₹6500.
Kingston hyperX fury 8GBx2-₹8,500.
Corsair 400r-₹5,500.
Asus gtx 970 strix 4GB DDR5-₹27,000.
Total-₹62,500.
Reuse your old PSU,HDD,Monitor.
For Bluetooth and WiFi buy an adapter which will cost you around 2k. As for the TV tuner I have no idea.

Slight modification, go for i5 4590 if you can. Might cost the same as above and slightly better as its devil canyon/haswell refresh.

For ram 4GB*2=8GB in dual channel would be better as 16GB would be overkill for your needs. Kingston hyperx fury 4GB*2 1800mhz should be around 4.5-5k.

Motherboard consider gigabyte h97 d3h at around Rs8.5-9k. Contains m2 slot and pci express for future compatiability. Also have the best realtek alc1150 sound chip. That one is equivalent to a discrete sound card and makes a lot of difference in movies and games.

Thanks for the suggestion, but now i am looking for i7 based rig only and learn over clocking along on them.

for TV tuner i am selecting iBall claro ctv27 tuner card- Hope any one here using it. I am concerned here is for quality provided.

MOBO-Asus’s Z97-Pro(Wi-Fi ac) is better than normal version??

Ram- Which one is better Gskill sniper F3 or Kingston hyperX fury

suggestion are most welcome

An overlclockable i7+z97 WiFi mobo will increase ur budget by another 15k....
As for the RAM, gkill sniper is better than hyperX fury as it has a lower latency. Pricing is the major factor here

Would like to add here that kingston have a much better and wider customer care compared to any other ram brand matched only by corsair. Gskill might have better timings but it won't really show up any real world performace as you would already have a discrete graphics card.
Also, hyperx fury 1800mhz is known to have the ability to get upto atleast 2100mhz incase you decide to overclock. Gskill might also overclock but kingston can it at cheaper rates with much better after sale service.

visited local shop here and got these pricing

i7 4790k = 23800
Asus GTX 970 STRIX 4GB DDR5=27500
kingston fury 4X2 =4400
corsair 300R= 5500
ASUS Z97 Pro AC WIFI= 18600

All components are available with him except z97 pro AC wifi which will take him around 7 days, i have no problem in waiting for that as i am free on week ends only, Dealer has suggested me to choose from these or wait for Asus z97 to arrive

1. Asus Maximus VII Hero @19200
2. Maximus Formula @28000
3. Z97 Sabertooth mark II @15200

what do you suggest about the pricing?
shall i go for another mobo (i.e. hero or mark II ) or Asus z97 pro AC is best among these.

Why are you considering 4790k + Z97 mobo if you don't plan to OC?
