Corsair H100 would be more than enough for the processor and even you can OC it upto 4.5 without any problem.

Megamind is saying that with h100 cooler you can overclock more than 4.5Ghz mark.
A little bit help regrading the selection of monitors
You all have suggested to go for
Asus VK278Q (*in.asus.com/Display/LCD_Monitors/VK278Q/#specifications)
The specs are very good and I checked online prices to be around 25K mark
However though I came across a monitor from samsung
Samsung S27A550HS (Enjoy the smarter monitor with intelligent eco solutions. - S27A550H - LED Monitor - Monitor | SAMSUNG)
which is priced in the 20K region
Now the specs looked identical only the Asus one has a 2 MP inbuilt webcam. Now I want to ask is the extra 5K worth for a 2MP webcam or there is other things I have overlooked which might justify the hike in price for asus.
And samsung is the manufacturers of monitors so it might have an edge over asus. (Dont tell me about Samsung service- I know and in my case they have been a little less than disastrous)
Kindly help me to decide guys on the monitor
I have almost finalized the built with excellent inputs from you guys and will post the final build soon so you could give any final thoughts about it before buying in March 1st week.

very nice selection. and do remember - ThinkDigit Forum @ hwbot. 
@sabya
So I am finally joining in after an elaborate discussion. Now being the financer I dont have budget constraints but of course vfm is priority.
There are certain doubts which I wish to mention at this stage.
1. After a round of discussion on cabinets why did you return back to the thermaltake level 10 .
2. You have not included HDD, Speakers, UPS alongwith not to mention other costs. This will certainly push your figure way above. But seeing about doubts on pricing on this site I feel an actual shop survey will only get us near to a realistic figure.
Regarding the setup I really need to get back in touch with present stuff before I actively get involved.

yea...you will get much better pricing from sumwhere else. Do post here before u make the final purchase !
I am in the process of gathering quotes from different websites and will update asap. I still believe market price will be lower but keeping an estimated high price will add some buffer which will help to fit in accessories like ups and speakers.
@ anirban
the cabinet decision is still flexible coz its based on the location of cpu placement. I have assumed a tabletop placement with side ventilation in this case. Level 10 gt has a 200 mm fan at the side panel with dust filter feeding air directly to the gpu. There are other cabinets with similar specs which i will consider before finalizing. If side ventilation is a problem I will proceed with alternate cabinets also. I am hoping to have a quality headset for gaming instead and settle for a standard speaker set for other entertainment purposes.
This is one quote I gathered from Primeabgb.com as per the availability on the website
I could not get the requisite motherboard and cabinet though but added a gaming head set (please comment if this is good or not or other better options)
I think this config is also suitable (still rooting for the P8z68 Deluxe Mobo which will almost take the budget to 2.25L)
I checked SMC international but could not get all the products to complete the build (I am trying though to complete the build from them also).
Please comment everybody
