A big thanks to this forum I have Learned a lot here

Here is my suggestion for you:

Intel Core i5 2400 @ 10.7K
Intel DH67CL-B3 @ 5.6K
Corsair Value Series 1333 MHz 4GB X 2 @ 2.4K
Seasonic S12 II 520 520W 80+ Bronze PSU @ 3.8K
Gigabyte HD 7870 OC @ 21.2K
Logitech G400 Gaming Mouse @ 1.4K

Total 45.5K. Currently in some shops GTX 670 is available around 26K to 28K. If you can find one at 26K then grab it.

Thanks for your input,
I had this config in mind but then I also thought of

8120/1090T + GA970UD3
I am confused, as weather to grab 2400 or 8120/1090T
But then I will also need a 600W PSU for 8120/1090T for OCing

Can't decide!

Rig suggested by Cilus is great.
Go with a Razer DA for 2.4-2.5k over the G300

For gaming, i5 2400 is the best processor at your budget. 1090T or FX 8120, nothing can beat it when it comes to gaming.

Thanks for your suggestion Cilus
I will go with it

But had these questions
Would the motherboard be ok, or I am cheaping it on the motherboard?

How is the mouse that comes with the Razer Cyclosa Bundle?
Or I should buy the KB and Mouse separately?
If so can you suggest a KB and Mouse below 2.5k please!

Thanks again for your Valuable suggestions.

Yes but you won't be able to OC with the 2400

No need to OC i5 2400 for HD7870 OC Edition. It wont bottleneck. 6 & 8 Core processors like 1090T, 1100T, 8120, 8150 are better for professionals who use highly threaded applications like Photoshop, Maya etc. For gaming anything above 4 Core is useless. (Most of the time only 2 to 3 Cores are only used)

Thanx Cilius, I was going to suggest the same rig.

I have bought the Razer cyclosa bundle, and personally i dont like the KB at all.
The mouse is a Razer Abyssus 1800 dpi (old model) and its OK at max. Has no extra buttons is is very flat,no ergonomic curves. Rather u buy anything else like Razer DA and a mechanical KB if u can manage it

If you want gaming keyboard w/ gaming mouse buy
Steelseries Merc -Availible for 3k locally+Logitech G300 Availible at 1.4k for 4.5k approx

Or go for Arctosa + G300 for 4k approx

K

Thanks for suggestions
I fear my budget is not that high for a premium KB

I will be very happy with G400, I like the palm grip, opposed to the claw on the G300.

Someone having any info on 670 near the 25k mark, trying to fit that in.
