Guys?

How about HD 7850? I've heard very good reviews as well as benchmarks about it.

It available for 14 k here - *www.flipkart.com/gigabyte-amd-ati-...GVEP&ref=978f9fdd-872c-4e17-b02c-4f4a65cc4b89

Here is my suggestion:

CPU: Intel Core i5-3550K - 14.5K
Mobo: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 - 10.5K - (Since your processor selection was K series, mobo should be complementary too, so balanced it with little low cpu & good mobo, you can spend 5K left out on cpu again if you want.)
RAM: GSkill RipjawX 1600Mhz 8GB (2 X 4GB) - 4.2K (Buy 8GB from start if you're gonna play all new games at high settings, especially in HD)
GPU: Sapphire HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 - 14.5K (2GB for being future proof)
Cabinet: NZXT 210 Elite - 2.6K
PSU: Corsair GS600 - 4.8K

Total: 51.1K

Seems like you should consider 8 GB of RipjawsX because if you will overclock in future on air then Vengeance might not fit (if you use 4 DIMMs).

Then, You have selected almost the pinnacle of Intel's ivy bridge range and that too, a 'K' series CPU. So, a good motherboard is definitely recommended either Fatal1ty OR Extreme 6.

For gaming purposes, increase a little budget and go for the 7870, pretty awesome card.

You PSU choice is nice, GS 600 FTW. :)

"Depends on what task you are performing".
Check the link I have posted before. The IB i7 is slightly faster than the SB i7.

I forgot to add, the i7 cannot be OCed with the stock cooler. One has to purchase an additional cpu cooler.
Even at stock speeds it used to run warm on the stock cooler.
This is not the case with the fx8350.

AA : Refers to Anti-aliasing, in layman's terms, a technique of making rough edges smooth in games so, you get to experience better image quality at the cost of performance.

AF : Refers to Anisotropic Filtering. It is a mechanism that enhances image/texture quality that are viewed at an angle resulting in sharper textures and enhanced image quality.

Both, these technologies are higly resource consuming and hence the reason for opting high end graphics cards.

HD 7970 is if you want to run a multi monitor setup.

it sounds quite an overkill now, but after 2-3 years, it won't. so, just buy something in the league of 660ti (pretty powerful even for full HD resolution) or a plain 660/7950 if continuing with current monitor and save the extra money for future gaming upgrades. or just buy a set of good speakers, or if u really don't have any use for it, donate it. :D

FX-8350 is a good VFM processor and extremely good for Multi0-tasking and Multi-threaded applications where it beats the costlier i5 3570K and just behind i7 3770K. But in the gaming point of view, i5 3570K is slightly better for the games released up to 2012, although by a small margin at 1080P or higher. Only recent games like Far Cry 3, Crysis 3, Tomb Raider 2013 and couple of older games like Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2, which can use multiple CPU cores efficiently, FX-8350 holds it its ground in gaming against i5 3570K.
But the recent trend in gaming clearly shows that gaming is becoming more and more efficient in multi-threading and FX-8350 is a real attractive option against the i5 processors.
Another thing is the compatibility of the AM3+ socket with the future AMD Processors. Intel is gonna release Haswell within 1 month which needs a different socket LGA1150 and if you get a Ivy bridge Processor, after 2 year when while upgrading, you might be needing to upgrade both CPU and Motherboard as going by the trend, on that time in future, no Ivy Bridge CPU will be available. In case of AMD, they've already confirmed that their upcoming Steam Roller will be compatible with AM3+ socket.

IMO, if money is not a problem, my preference for gaming will be in the order i7 3770k > i5 3570k > fx8350.
Sweet spot being the i5 3570k.
Z77 mobos for unlocked intel procs are costlier. Hence package price goes up for i5s and i7s.

See, you are combining a non k processor with an unlocked chipset. The non k processor cannot use the full potential of the Z77 chipset . You cannot oc the non k processor. So combining it with h77 or b75 would make sense.

Yes,sainatarajan sir you are right but I can't use a ssd with h77 (I can't right?)and going for a b75 mobo will be too low but if there is no difference bet. Z77 and b75 except ocing of course I would love to go with a b75 and further cut down the costs.
2)But the main question is "is an over lockable i5 worth more than a cheaper(and more so if you tell me about the b75) non overclockablw i7?"

If you still want the M5A99FX (and the 7850 ) change PSU to Corsair GS500. @ 4k. Saves you some money opt for a better cabinet.

Is there any difference between M5A97 and M5A99FX?
7870 LE is better than 7850?
What about 7870 XT?

1. There is a good amount of difference between M5A97 and M5A99FX. The former is based on AMD 970 chipset and a good budget board whereas the later is based on the most advanced AM3+ chipset, namely 990FX and targeted towards performance segment. It offers you more number of SATA and USB (both 3.0 and 2.0) ports, better build quality and both SLI and Crossfire support at PCI-E 2.0 X16-X16 speed. It also support Quad SLI or Quad CF.

2. HD 7870 LE and HD 7870 XT are same GPU and the names are given by different manufacturers, Sapphire and HIS. It is basically a stripped down HD 7950 and good amount of faster than the standard HD 7870.

ASUS M5A97 Motherboard vs M5A99FX PRO R2.0 Motherboard: Compare Motherboards: Flipkart.com
Check the differences on the asus site as well.

7850 < 7870 < 7870 XT/LE.
7870 XT/LE is s scaled down version of the 7950.

Can you explain "AA and AF enabled." ? and guys can you plz tell me the places where I can get my PC assembled in Delhi? :)
Well, take it as some stuff to make your game look better but costing frames rate at the same time; so you have to make a balance between eye candy and performance.

Ermm... RAM ?

Normally, if you purchase a complete system from one shop, they do the assembling for free.

Get the 1600 MHz version of the cheapest of the above. All are almost equivalent.

Any particular reason to suggest Gamma over 210? I'm preparing config for my new system and have to choose between 210 & Gamma hence would like to know more about them.

I don't find much difference between the two. Infact, the Hdd cage in 210 is not removable, so fitting a long card will be tricky. I would recommenr Gamma + 3 120 mm fans instead of 210.
