Hi TickTock110... mostly every expert is watching Euro'12; Croatia vs Italy :)

btw, i envy the budget you could put together for the PC. But i can see that you are into heavy gaming and you don't have much choice to be budget conscious.
Are you, by any chance, going to hook up multiple monitors?

by the time the experts come back, you may have a look at the other threads which are very similar.
 
you can go for

Intel i5 3570K
Asus P8Z77 V Deluxe or PRO
Corsair H100 CPU Cooler or Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212
16GB Corsair Vengeance or G.Skill RipjawsX
120GB SSD
1TB HDD
Asus GTX 680 or ATI HD7970 (your preference)
Any Cabinet that you prefer
 
@TickTock110 if you're not going to overclock then go for this-
Intel i7 3770-20.5k
Intel DH77 KC-7.8k
Corsair XMS3 2X4GB 1600mhz-3.5k OR Gskill RipjawsX 2X4GB 1600mhz-3.5k
Segate 1TB 7200RPM HDD-5.5k
Nvidia GTX670-28k
Corsair TX750V2-6,4k OR Seasonic X560-7k
Corsair Carbide 400R-5k
Logitech G400 Mouse-1.4k OR Corsair M60-3k
Logitech G110-3k OR Sunbean Lite-up Keyboard-1k
Samsung 830 Series 128GB SSD-12.5k

Hey thanks for replying dude..

i m thinking of keeping the overclocking option open for future.

For cpu AFAIK wont a i5 2500k or i5 3570k would be sufficient for my gaming needs? Can you tell me price of I5 3570k? i heard ivy bridge have some heating issues?

I want some recommendation of motherboards from gigabyte or Asus.. I was eying on asus p8z77 v pro but its priced around 17k.
There are many other good motherboards priced around 10-12k..i wanted to know whats special about V-Pro. Is it worth spending that much?

I wanted to have GTX 680 or AMD 7970 originally but dey are quite expensive imo.. is it worth spending 35k for 680 or should i go with little cheap card?
it would be great help if you can tell me which will be best manufacturer of card you suggest :)


Can you tell me difference between AX series and TX series?

Also, can you give me price of AX and TX 850W PSU?

Thanks in advance
 
i5 2500k will be enough for your gaming needs...
and bro if you are not using multiple monitors there's no use of spending that much in a gpu..
get a 7850,7870 instead
for mobo i personally feel u should go for z77 extreme6-12.5k
for ax i think these are modular series..
btw go for tx750 more than enough even if u gonna do sli
 
If you want to oc then go for this-
Intel i5 3570K-17k
Asus P8Z77-V-15.5k OR Asus P8Z77-M PRO-13k
Rest same as above,The GTX670 is a good enough GPU for you and The suggested PSU'S are more than enough for you.Go for noctua NH-U12P SE2-3.9k OR Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO-2.1k for cooling and Ocing.

I go with most of Jakob's suggestions, however I would like to add my tuppence
Since OP's interest is primarily for gaming

1] Motherboard - ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Professional (Rs 17.5)
Buy Asrock Fatal1ty Z77 Professional Motherboard in Mumbai India

ASRock > Products > Fatal1ty Z77 Professional

reviews & comments by Buyer's
Newegg.com - ASRock Z77 Professional LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

The Fatal1ty series of hardware need's no introduction to gamer's and this board besides being rock solid is also terrific

2] RAM - GSkill Ares 8GB (4X2) DDR3 RAM (1866 MHz) - Rs 4500

The speciality of the "Ares" series is it's extreme low height coupled with a decent heat sink. This will never ever interfere with any CPU cooler (even the
Noctua NH-U12P SE2 or SE14) that is installed. Effectively what this means is that in future whenever you wish to shuffle/remove/add more RAM sticks - you need not bother about dismantling your CPU cooler
http://hardwire.in/memory-modules-ram/569-gskill-ares-low-profile-8gb-ddr3-ram.html

3] Cabinet - Corsair Carbide 500R - (with 4 fans & better air-flow than the 400R) - Rs6645/- at prime

Hope this helps

Cheers

Hey thanks for replying..

I'm thinking of going with i5 2500k over i5 3570k as der is not great performance difference between them and its priced around 16.5k.

On the motherboard...i was thinking of going with asus P8Z77-V-PRO or gigabyte
(btw isn't it waste buying Z77 motherboard at a higher price sense 2nd gen processors can't utilize the extra features like PCI-E3.0 present in Z77 boards?)

Can you tell me which manufacturer will be best for my GTX 680 or AMD 7970?


I m thinking of going with Noctua NH-D14, so those Ares ram will fit in it?
And can you tell me i should go with 1600Mhz or 1866mhz ram?

Also, it would be great help if someone can suggest some other cabby...not really impressed with looks of corsair :(

Thanks in advance.
