Then FLIPKART is the only option I think.

If you are sticking to FK for EMI option, you can purchase at least the cabinet from somewhere else. 400R is a great cabinet.

The corsair 400R cabinet is not avilable locally or online, even on MDComputers .. Any other alternatives to that?

Cool. One bad thing about being relatively new to bangalore is that I have no idea where these computer-walla shops are.. Will try and find out a suitable cabinet this weekend

Alrighty!! Its time to order stuff! Got my Corsair 400R cabinet today from SP Road in Bangalore.
Heres what I have narrowed
AMD FX 8350
ASUS CROSSHAIR V Formula Motherboard
Asus NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 4 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) PC RAM (F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL)
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Cooler
Will be using my exisiting monitors and the 300GB HDD. I have a OCZ 600 Watts PSU (will it be enough?)
Thanks~

Awesome!
One more question ::
I'm currently opting for ASUS CROSSHAIR V Formula Motherboard, I also have the option to go for the M5A99FX PRO R2.0 or the ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX. What are the major differences between these board and will it be a big deal if I'm gaming or doing CGI rendering?

When sabretooth and formulae are in the equation, m5a99FX pro automatically gets out. Crosshair has better overclocking support and mush better onboard audio and Intel LAN, but the sabertooth is like 7k cheaper! I vote for Sabertooth.

Awesome! So i guess I will go with your recommendation of the Sabertooth! ..
