You can go for i3 4130, which is a slightly cut down version.. You could also go for a cheaper H81 board, combined, both should save about Rs 700-800..
And like SaiyanGoku said, remove DVD drive and save 1k
HyperX Fury is available for Rs 3150 on amazon, with CoD.. so that's another Rs 150 saved :p

NO!!!

Think of it as the electricity meter in your house which supplies proper 3 phase supply. If you use a single phase meter instead in a house which has an AC, it'll not only burn itself up but can cause damage to other electrical appliances as well.

BTW, windows 10 pro costs 12-13k. You got a separate budget for that? Buy Windows 10 home instead, it'll save ~5k. Same with autocad and sketchup. Though I don't know about their pricing, older versions like 2013 or 2012 should be priced considerably less without much change in functionality.

And forget about over clocking as OC-able intel CPUs alone cost 16k+. You can't OC any i3 CPU as of now.

PSU is like heart of the Computer. So don't go with cheap ones.
As for RAM difference between 4GB vs 8GB is around 1000 but getting a 8GB RAM is better for you now.
You will get good prices locally but if you don't get good prices then buy from online.OK.

I meant instead of Cooler Master Elite Cabinet in 2400 Rs. You can buy Zebronics cabinet which will cost rs. 1000
Zebronics cabinets come in 2 variety - with or without PSU. Since you are buying antec PSU, go for zebronics cabinet without PSU
