I guess you mean that you want this or a similar config ?
Smps and psu are the same. What you have chosen is very good and will accomodate any additional changes that you make to the system later on.
If budget doesnt permit, give preference to gpu and try cutting the price from other items.
corsair 400r (cabinet)
Asus p8z77-m pro(matx mobo)
and upgrade the gpu to hd7870 or asus 660gtx dcii.

I got an i5-3570k locally for 13,600, for such a small difference, I'd suggest that.

660Ti is above Rs 20000! But since your budget gave me the liberty I added that Excellent GPU. The next best option is to get a Sapphire HD7870 for Rs 18700 app.

I got an i5-3570k locally for 13,600, for such a small difference, I'd suggest that.

Its (3570K) excellent no doubt but 2500K, can be bought even cheaper locally, has better benefits in the OC ing department with the Asus Maximus V Gene.

7850 < gtx660 < 7870 < 660ti < 7950

Those underlined are sub 20k. Those in bold are great value for money.

^^ Look at HD7870 2GB. Will cost you ~18.8K
It will run every game @ultra or equivalent.
