Intel Core i5 2500K @ 12.7K
ASRock Z77 Pro4 4 @ 9.4K
G-skill RipjawX 1600 MHz 4 GBX1 @1.5K
Western Digital Blue 500 GB SATA II @ 4k
NZXT Source 210 Elite @ 2.4K
Seasonic S12II 520 @ 3.7K
BenQ G2220HDL 21.5" Full HD LED @ 7.5K
Logitec MK200 Mouse & Keyboard combo @ 0.7K
Gigabyte HD 7870 OC @ 22.2K

Total 63K. I have skipped the UPS here. If you wanna UPS then Gigabyte HD 7850 @ 15.1K + APC 1.1KVA @ 4.6K.

However, if you can go for an AMD based config then HD 7870 can be accomodated.

AMD Phenom II X4 970BE 3.5 GHz @ 7.4K
BIOSTAR TA990FXE @ 8.5K

^^ Good base config.
Change GPU to: Gigabyte HD 7850 @ 15.1K (your alternate option)
And Motherboard to: AsRock Z77 Extreme4 @9.8K

Pro series of AsRock have many negative feedbacks, so I don't think it is worth suggesting, specially when price difference is ~500/-.

Where are you getting your prices from ? !!

What's wrong?
Every quoted price is almost correct.

Flipkart is overpriced. Not recommended for comparing actual market price.

CX500 won't be safe to use IMO.
But GS600 @4K.

And about cabinet, what is the max amount of money that you are willing to spend over that?

BTW, did you try Vedant for Extreme4?
I think I saw some AsRock board today in there. Didn't bother to look at the model numbers though.

It must be the DCII version. It costs around 18k everywhere. You got it a little cheap buddy. You should have gone for the sapphire one.

Without OC'ing 2500K may or may not run hot with stock cooler. It will depend on the chip you have got and ambient temperature. Disable turbo. ;)

@OP, I would like to advice you not to lose the OC potential..Wait a bit more, stack up some more money and get that..or you may regret one or two years later!!
