Good config.
Get 1333MHz RAM with H77 and save money.
Corsair TX650V2 is better choice than Seasonic S12II-620.

Since you are from Pune you should visist Havok Nation once.

Hmm.. then he could go for Gigabyte GA-P75-D3 motherboard ~ 5k and could get 1TB HDD also ~ 5k

Thanks guys for your wonderful suggestion.
I updated the components and it seems little out of budget. I know its a very tight budget for gaming rig, but that's all my friend is willing to spend.
I really appreciate your help.

What Config your friend has bought ?

He didn't bought anything, I am building this rig for my friend & he have only 50k budget.

I am little confused about buying AMD graphic, being nVidia fan from the start.
Is GTX 660 any better than Radeon HD 7850/7870.

No need to change anything in that. You have chosen everything right there. And don't get confused by shop-owners who will obviously try to sell you they product they wish to sell.

Toshiba 1TB HDD? Very very bad choice. The reason? You will understand in time.
Other components are good, except for the RAM. XMS3 is not that good compared to other better options.

I wanted to buy Seagate, but it has only 1year warranty. Toshiba have 2years of warranty.
I regret that too, but anyways Vengeance was bit costly than XMS3. And RipjawsX wasn't available at that time.

Usually the choice is between WD and Seagate with WD having an edge with higher warranty. (no wd green please)
