Thanks Sunil!
So, I went to the local stores today and bought a couple of things -
  • CPU - Intel Core i5 6500 - 14000,
  • Motherboard - Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 7 - 19300,
  • GPU - Gigabyte G1 GTX 970 - 27350,
  • PSU - Corsair RM750X - 8700 (No one had Seasonic at all),
  • RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws 5 DDR4 16GB(8GBx2) 2400MHz - 5150
Including tax (5.5%), the total, so far, came up to be - 78600.

Will probably go again sometime next week to buy the second half of the stuff. :)[DOUBLEPOST=1460271166][/DOUBLEPOST]Can someone please suggest a cheaper cabinet. Something under 10k range?

And is the UPS - APC 1100VA good enough? Should I be considering any others apart from that?

Where did you got the RAM so cheap?
 
How I wish I was in Mumbai :( :(

The prices don't seem to be very different from what they are offering on their website, though. Check it out. They have a sale on the website too. :)

Any idea until when will the sale be?
