You are thinking of getting a 150k rig and you don't want to overclock now? I think you should seriously reconsider your budget. If you want the PC JUST for gaming, then better get a console and save a huge amount of money.

i wouldnt wanna overclock now since i believe one would require liquid cooling... and if i go for that ...it would far exceed my budget !!

Some people overclock when they feel the need to. [Not because they can] :)

SSD boosts up general PC performance and responsiveness, quick booting and loading times etc
If you don't want WiFi and Bluetooth enabled PC, Go for Asus Z87-A for 13500 (the one in list above has BT and WiFi)

GTX770 is good enough for 1080p gaming. Are you sure you don't want multi monitor setup? (I have suggested 780 because you asked but you will be fine with 770 too)

Storm Trooper is good choice. An epic system needs an epic case.

Don't really see why you want Sabertooth. You can compare here
ASUS Z87 Specs Comparison Chart

Corsair TX650 modular PSU would be a good choice

well i wanted to go for sabertooth cuz the specs were good ... also i read some of the reviews and in them it was said sabertooth z87 wud be a good choice !! ....

and after seeing the spec chart i really don't know which one to go for :p ... mobo in 20-22k range ??

the idea here is the rig should last at least 3-4 years !

and about the psu I'm mostly going with corsair ax-860 good enough ??
