If I were you and had a budget like that I would have got the Asus Maximus Gene V as the Motherboard.

Way better quality Capacitors Heatsinks and power phases.It is the fastest z77 board. AsRock Z77 E4 is no match to this.

I will pick Asrock Z77 E4 as it is highly acclaimed by tomshardware 2012 and has better VFM and moreover its full ATX while Asus Gene is mATX.

cpu - i5 3570K @14.5K
mobo ASRock Z77 Extreme4 @-- Avoid it. Not a good board if you plan to overclock.
Corsair 400R @4.6K
Zotac NVIDIA AMP! Edition GeForce GTX 670 @-- Not a card worth spending 27K, Think about HD7870 2GB edition @18K or buy Asus GTX670 DC II T @25K

About motherboard, Think about the following ones:
Asus P8Z77 M Pro @12.5K
MSI Z77A-GD65 @13.4K
Asus P8Z77 V @15.8K

Thats an old old story.They are trying to acquire and position it as budget performing brand under Asus.While Asus will cater to Hi-End. I have no proof of this but thats what I came to know from some people over tea!

I am not taking zotac side but considering aditya infotech services, 5 years warranty from Zotac and amazing cooling/performance capability of zotac gtx670 amp makes me tilt towards it.

PS : No hard feelings for Asus but Rashi pathetic experience drifted me away from it.

I have no experience in zotac products or its after sales service, but I do understand the 'painful' rashi rma. Despite that, I am inclined towards asus products with a pray that I dont have to visit rashi later on :p

Its not about taking the lead its about what products they are delivering to the end user ... i m not saying Asrock is bad .. just tht they have more % of RMA then any other manufacturer
