There is no such thing as "Future Proof".Reality as it stands now suggests that Intel is lot better for gaming :wink:

Yep in future we will see games Fully Utilizing 6-8 cores,but it will not happen ANYTIME SOON,more like 3-4 years later when you need a NEW Cpu anyways :wink:

If you can accommodate Better gpu with AMD rig than intel,then you should Consider Amd rig,but here it in op's case it is not

Where are you getting S12II 620 W for 5.2k? Did you mean 520 W?

SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply should be a little bit cheaper locally.

you can go for asus m5 a97 evo r 2.0 mobo if possible. it will help in overclocking your processor decently. i think you have to get 8350 over i5. 4gb seems to be enough now. upgrade it only when you feel you require it.i dont know the quality of A.S.S provided by HIS (rma is handled by Savera). asus has better A.S.S afaik. i you can find one under 23.5/24k, then that would be good. else go for HIS.

HIS is offering 3 years warranty in India unlike 2 years in US
Also HIS IceQX2 cooler is marginally better than the ASUS DirectCU II cooler - HIS R9 280X IceQ x2 Turbo Review - Temperature, Acoustics and Power Consumption

Perfect. For graphic card, try to find experiences of HIS' RMA in India. It they are good and it's cheaper than Asus', go for it.

1)Go with HIS

2)Go with fx 8350 -cheaper,more practical,even better (at some points)

3)No and yes,it will be enough for now but i think in a year or two, 8gb will be the norm but dont compromise on core components because of ram,you can always add another stick later (even i have 4gb right now

get the cheapest ones which falls on your budget. avoid brands like msi ,xfx etc for now. HIS is not bad. you can purchase from nehru place.

i am in delhi and went to nehru place yesterday. found half of the parts at computer empire and other half at smc international. but the guy at smc international suggested me for not going with HIS coz it has warranty issues

also the shops r having only sapphire r9280x no other card..what should i do now ?
