CPU - i3-3220 @ 7.5k
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-B75m-D3H @ 4.1k
GPU - Sapphire AMD 7770 - (dont know exact price

)
RAM - Kingston HyperX Blu @ 2.4k
SMPS -Antec VP450P @ 2.7k
Cabinet - any Zebronics cabinet @ 0.8k

I think you should wait for launch of new APUs

FX 6300 is good but wont fit in budget(REQUIREMENTS) you won't able to add good GPU with 6300.

Yes I now about the form and rules of forum.
Actually I don't need all the components and I don't have the answers to all the question as the components are not for me. Also this not a new PC request, its a upgrade and that form is for new PCs.

+1 for this. HD7770 will cost ~8k bringing the total price to 25,900. Also, the motherboard is priced at 4.5k AFAIK.

OK this is the Intel Config.
Give me AMD option also even if it exceeds the budget. I'll give him the option.

Can you also provide the prices of M5A97 R2.0 and EVO? FK is overprices and MD no longer lists them.

@OP; if M5A97 R2.0 is available ~7k, get it.

OK sure thanks guys. I told him about new releases in Jan 2014 and he chose to wait so that if can save some more and if the newer components are worth it then he'll get them.
