That Microsoft mouse may not be the best suitable thing for playing games. Too less dpi. I have that thing. At most its good for browsing and graphics stuff.

Your choice of cabinet and monitor is weird too.

Why a 2GB card for 17" monitor that supports just a Max of 1280x1024 resolution? You mentioned you wanted to play at full HD Res which is 1920x1080.

Cabinet is not good wrt air circulation inside. Get a cooler master cabby inside your budget which has a front &back 120mm fan. Ex k282 @ around 3.2-3.5k. It has front and back 120mm fans and supports long cards.

Edit: for full HD monitor get dell s2240l or HP 22fl. The HP is costlier but has dvi-d port along with HDMI and vga and some game mode setting too I think. The dell only has a HDMI and VGA port. Both are IPS panels with supposed 7ms response times.

Rest of the components are good. As a precaution just check if ram is listed as compatible on motherboards website.

What budget have you kept for the graphics card?
I think up to 15k, the sapphire hd7850 is one of the best in price to performance. But its half the price of the config.

Maybe other members can help with the configuration.

Sorry I forgot the cabinet. NZXT Gamma @ 2.4k is a very good product. If the final price is out of budget, opt for 650ti non boost, but I recommend getting this rig itself as you'll not require to upgrade soon with it.

They are almost same, check who provides good service in your area and go with them.
I would recommend NZXT Source 210 elite and AMD 7850 1gb

This combo is not compatible. You have to use either Intel 3rd gen cpu with this mobo which you mentioned earlier or choose 1150 chipset mobo for this cpu.

Almost similar stuff I bought two weeks ago. And yeah, the mobo you picked isn't compatible with the processor. You need to look for at least B85 (or H87) mobo - cheapest is Intel's. I bought Gigabyte B85M-D3H for 6.1K. Processor 4430 and 4440 are almost same priced - 100 Rs difference (~12K). RAM I got Corsair Vengeance and the same PSU for 4.5K.
