I have been away from the PC gaming scene since 2008 and have been primarily playing on consoles. But with some exciting things happening on the PC front (VR, indies etc.) i'm ready to dive back in. I'm not completely out of touch but will need some help. I have picked the components I need and rounded off their Flipkart prices.

I would like to know where in Delhi I can get all these components and have them assembled by a competent dealer.

Bump.. Hey guys please help, I have no clue which store in Delhi I can go to assemble my rig. And also is my rig setup alright or can it be made better?
 
Setup looks very fine.
>Go for a Asus Z97-A at 14K.
>Asus Strix GTX970 is available at 30K inwards, if you're in a budget call take the Zotac GTX970 at 27K.
>Better to opt for a CM N400 at 3.7K or Corsair 300R at 4.5K if you can invest some more.
>If you'll be using mostly for gaming, an i5 will also suffice. You can invest leftover on a SSD.
 
You could opt for a single 8GB stick instead of 2 x 4GB, since you plan to add another 8GB later.
Pick up one of the newer DC-DC converter platform based PSUs like the M12II 650 or the G 650. Both seem to be available only on techshop.in , so double check with their CC if its actually in stock.
 
@manjeet Thanks mate.. It's really surprising how overpriced the Asus Strix are since Asus announced the cards at 26.5k+taxes...
Does the Z97-A offer any advantages?
CM N400 looks like an amazing case but I can't find it anywhere online.
I'm picking the i7 because I want a CPU that'll help me do some Adobe After Effects work and one won't bottleneck any future GPU upgrades.

@Crazy_Eddy Thanks for your help. I'll get the 8gb stick and the M12II 650(as and when it's available).

Guys can you please suggest any place in Delhi maybe in Nehru Place, Dwarka or Janakpuri where i can buy these components, I don't mind building it myself. Flipkart is my only option for now, I think physical stores will be cheaper.
