his rig cost (local shop at lamington):

intel 3570k 14000
asrock z77 extreme 4 10000
gskill ripjaws 8gb 1866mhz 4800
seasonic 520w 80 plus bronze 4200
sapphire radeon 7770 8100
nzxt 2900
ocz vertex 3 60gb 3450

my view:
m suggesting him to not go for overclockable rig..no need as of now..instead, he can save some shells n go for better gpu n psu..
is ssd really needed??

i5 with 7770 ? NO!

My suggestion-
i5-3470 11000
Any B75 mobo of your choice 4-5k
4gb ram (1600mhz) 1.5k
seasonic 520w 4.8k
500gb int hd 3k
Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X 3gb 21k OR 7870 2gb 16k
Total - 45k or 40k approx

And no SSD is not required for gaming.
Exception- Skyrim(and 2-3 more). It performs a little better with an SSD.

Get an i5 3470 instead of a 3450.

The difference of price between them is at max Rs 150/Rs 200

i5 3470 (11300)
Gigabyte B75M DH3 (4000)
Sapphire HD7950 vapour X 3 GB (20000)
G.Skill sniper 1600MHz 4 GB (1700) Ripjawsx are available for 2000, so sniper is a better buy
Corsair GS500 (4000)
NZXT Gamma (2500)
Samsung 840 120 GB SSD (6000)

total: 49500

you can easily get nzxt gamma cabi at rs 2200 at lamington.go to multiple store take quotaton of cpu from them
