Guys it is 50k for the CPU i.e. The Cabinet and other parts + Monitor . OP can easily get the HD 7970 now with the harshils config.

@OP the PSU is Corsair GS500 , spend 500 bucks more and get GS600 to be on the safer side

Since there is no OCing, RAMs can be changed to Corsair Value select. They are cheaper and performance difference is negligible.
PSU: Corsair GS500 @ 4k

OP is not into OCing, but the amd proc is more powerful.
8350 + 7950 will require 600w. At stock, a 500w will work but limits the OCing capabilities in future.
Options:
Corsair GS600
Seasonic 620W S12II @ 4.8k
Seasonic SS-600BT Eco @ 3.9k

@All: Sapphire 7950 vaporx is 21.5k (including tax) from Vedant. I doubt the prices have increased by 1k. *waits for someone to confirm current prices from shop* :razz:

How can OP get an HD7970? In my rig I've included an HD7950. Maybe you had a misunderstanding.
Sorry , I misunderstood ... I thought the monitor is included in your 52.9k rig and I didnt see the separate price for the monitor...
