This setup is slightly above your budget. Skimp on the speakers if you are on a tight budget. It will serve your purpose well for a couple of years.

DarkAngel he is in Bhubaneshwar I do not know where he will source the NZXT cabinets from. That is why gave him an option from flipkart.com. HIS has not released a IceQ Turbo edition of the HD7850 and where is it available in India? HIS IceQ X 7850 ~17000/- from flipkart.com --> HIS AMD H785QN2G2M 2 GB GDDR5 Graphic Card | Graphics Card | Flipkart.com.

And for RAM 1333MHz is what OP should get because the motherboard does not support Sand-Bridge XMP profile so it will rollback to 1333MHz frequency fom 1600MHz and no gain for OP.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

ALPHA17, Yes. NZXT cabinets aren't allowed but I can get it from Kolkata. The shop where I am thinking of buying can get it for me. Also, I forgot to add one thing. I actually have a RAM. Lemme change it.

2 x Corsair 4GB DDR3 1600 MHz.

Even Kolkata doesn't have NZXT components widely available but if you can get a NZXT Gamma nothing beats it.

Also since you do not have RAM to purchase, go for a Core i5 3450 ~12500/- processor over the Core i5 2400 as suggested earlier this will allow your RAM to run full blast and performance will be slightly improved.

Hope this helps, Cheerio!

ATI RADEON HD7850 ICEQ X 2GB DDR5 DVI/HDMI/2xMini DP PCI-E CARD (HIS) | eBay ~18k (~16.5k with ebay 10% off coupon. Direct from Tirupati (HIS official distributor for India IINM)
If he is unable to find the NZXT cabinet then there is always the online option or going for a CM Elite 311 cabinet which is pretty prevalent everywhere.

flipkart.com is selling the same card for ~17000/-. I had linked it, I literally took HIS IceQ Turbo edition as you had mentioned. Sorry.

No problem. I meant the ICEQ X model. Not the turbo.

Ok, I will get a Core i5 3450 processor. But, Do I need such a high end GFX card? Can't I get a cheaper GFX card than HD 7850 2GB GDDR5?

Thing is, I am mostly a FIFA/PES/NFS/CS guy. I will be playing other games like Skyrim and Crysis for the first time as previously I didn't have a GFX card which would have supported it.

Cheers.

See if you want to play games similar to Crysis and SKYRIM it will be best that you go for the HD7850 2GB, it will easily play most games in the coming years at medium --> high settings @1080p. The HD7770 will not last that long and expect no more than medium detail settings in most games.

Also the HD7850 is more efficient previous generation cards which perform equal to it, demand more than 2x the power, that is why we have recommended the HD7850 2GB.

Hope this explains the situation clearly, Cheerio!
