For motherboards.
go for Asus Z97 A
or at least Z97-K

Buy Online ASUS Z97-K Socket 1150 Motherboards in India

for GPU you can look at this
Buy Online ASUS GTX 980 STRIX-GTX980-DC2OC-4GD5 Graphic Cards in India
46.5k

total
i5 4690k - 16k
Asus Z97K - 10.5k
CM Hyper 212X - 3k
HyperXFury 2x4GB - 6k
WD Black 1TB - 5k
1x GTX 980 Strix - 47K
Phantom 410 - 6k (primeabgb)
GX II 750 - 8k (primeabgb)
AOC i2369VM - 10k

Goes little over the budget..but the new config has a better mobo with better circuitry and better VRM and better software support.

- - - Updated - - -

Unless you are going 1440P even the 980 is a bit overkill..u can go pretty well with a single 970.

Why i5 4690k is prefered over i7 2600k when both are in the same price range, can someone suggest me the reasons for selecting i5 4690k.

you will hardly get a compatible mobo.

GX II 750 - 8k (primeabgb)
i would suggest seasonic g650. much better and stronger unit.

even a gtx 970 will comfortably do 1440p.. but at this budget gtx 980 is a must..
according to me there is no such thing as overkill u will definitely get ur moneys worth...

RMA is an hassle from the reports we see...so not suggesting it till its sorted out.

As I want a dual boot system, will it possible to achieve window installation on SSD and Ubuntu on WD HDD.

Yes of course. That's possible. Just select the right drive when installing.

I am little confused if I set the SSD as Primary boot device how can I load a different OS(Ubuntu) installed on a secondary device from GRUB.

This will help- dual boot - How do I install Ubuntu and Windows on separate hard drives? - Ask Ubuntu

Will Corsair CX600 be able to handle Sli 970 or 980 in future as I am going for one of them for now but will definitely upgrade in future.

Don't go with CX series. They are not good, and definitely not good for an SLI. Get Seasonic M12II 620 W PSU for ~6500.

Thanks Harshil I have also been suggested Asus Z97-K, MSI Z97 PC Mate and Gigabyte B85M D3H -5.5k for Mobo but I checked none of them support SLI and other option of Z97-a is a bit costly , can u suggest a good mobo with SLI, Raid.

You won't get a motherboard with true SLI (x8-x8) below 12k.

Here is the pricing details :

i54690k - 16,118/-
Asus SaberTooth mk 2 - 14,100/-
HyperXfury 1866 mhz 4gb*2 - 2 * 2,550/-
Zotac gtx 970 : 25,300/-
Samsung evo 850 ssd 250gb - 9,200/-
Seagate 1tb 7200rpm + 8gb ssd - 3650/-
Cooler master 212x - 2,750/-
NZXT Phantom 410 - 5,800/-
AOCi2369vm - 11,300/-
Antec HCG 750W - 6,800/-

I could have saved upto 2500/- if I had decided to buy the parts from different shops but I didn't want that hassle as many shops guys in Lamington were not looked confident too build themselves and in some shops I was horrified the way they were behaving with customers with defective products, so I decided to buy it from one stop Primeabgb.

Also they were asking for installation charges upto 800/-, infact Krazy computers which has a good reputation said to me that if something goes wrong during installation I will have to wait for the new product for some days.

Prices are really good, especially the RAM, graphic card, SSD ad HDD. Are all these from PrimeABGB?

Thanks just tweaked the GPU fans using MSI Afterburner, now the temp reduced to 67c max load. Will tweaking fan will have a bad impact on GPU in the long run, also in case fan dies is it possible to easily replace it.

> No problems in tweaking fan.

> If the card is in warranty it will be replaces, Else, you go for DIY approach.

those temps are fine.just create a fan profile for gaming and idle to ur liking regarding the temps and fan noise. do some benchmarks for games use fraps for min, avg, max fps. also please use only the highest settings and not custom settings. i would be greatly appreciate it becoz i am thinking of buying the same config
