CPU- i5 3570 ----12000
Mobo- Asus B75----4275
Graphic card- Sapphire 7850 2GB----14000
RAM- Corsair 8 GB 1600 MHz Vengence----3000

And the budget has been streched as much as possible. (frankly I started to configure a 40k rig ;-) )

Everything is fine except the speaker and ups.

Get APC 650 or 800va .

For speakers, get the following:

F&D F680 2.1 Multimedia Speakers | Speaker | Flipkart.com

Its way better.

Its out of my budget and why??
B75 fulfills every need, ivy bridge cpu, 1600 mhz RAM, usb 3.0, pcie 3.0
I m not going for OC, so besides that, what are the advantages of z77??

Z77 is not required here.
The config is fine.Check if you can get cm elite 311plus for around 2.7k. 311plus has a slot for front usb3.0 .
You can also opt for gtx660 if you can find one for 14-15k.Gtx660 is a bit faster than hd7850.
GIGABYTE GV-N660OC-2GD - 14.5k

Thanks.. I will.think abt that...
I have one query.. I checked my config on a psu calculator, the minimum power needed was 266w and recommended was 315W. Shoudn't a CX430 be enough??

oh.. i thought you would do OC..

but, if you are going for a gaming rig, why not get a better Keyboard and Mouse? If not Keyboard, atleast a midrange gaming mouse. It helps. A lot.

Try out Logitech G400. Best bang for the bucks. But a good mouse alone can't do much if it does not have a gaming grade tracking surface(mouse pad) to work on. Look for Razer Goliathus mouse pad. Should cost you around 500-600 Rs. Without a good mouse pad your gaming mouse won't help much.
