Where are you getting it so cheap?

And instead of the HD7850 2GB I recommend the GIGABYTE GTX660 2GB ~15500/-.

The HD7770 GHz edition is too anaemic to perform at full-HD with settings turned up.
 
The Sapphire HD7850 1GB-12.5k @smc international and HD7850 2GB-14.5k or little less,Above was a typo.GTX660 would be a good choice for 16k if OP is ready to spend that much.

@ALPHA17: please comment on the the power supply and cabinet combination I have suggested i.e. CORRSAIR VS 550 and NZXT Gamma for this config. Also, I have had bad experiences with gigabyte products.. so any other alternatives for those..

The VS series from Corsair in my opinion is a cash-grab and not a serious product á-la Cooler Master eXtreme Series counter to wean people away from that to Corsair. No reviews and speculative reports of poor quality components only see it going down in my opinion.

Instead of the VS550W, go for the Seasonic S12II 520W. I think you know the value of a good SMPS.

If you want to absolutely avoid the GIGABYTE motherboard, look at this one -- Intel DH77-KC ~7000/- OR DH77-EB ~6500/-. ASUS and MSi offerings are more expensive and downright stingy on features for budget boards on the H77 / B75 chipsets.

NZXT Gamma is fine, if you want forward USB 3.0 ports you can get a 3.5" bay adaptor for the same. E.g. -- Sedna Product in India

Hope this helps, Cheers!

Spending extra 1-2k after paying 2.5k for gamma is a waste of money,Instead OP should get Nzxt Source Elite 210-2.6k OR CM 311 Plus-3.1k with front USB 3.0 if he needs it badly.

Why does he need to spend an extra ~1000/- Rupees after buying the NZXT Gamma?

The NZXT Source Elite and Cooler Master eLite have pathetic airflow compared to the Gamma.
 
@ALPHA17 @Jakob: I already have an NZXT Gamma in my rig I configured a few months back and it stays incredibly cool despite no extra fans and heavy loads for many hours.. thanks to TE members for that... As far as the front USB port is concerned... I had bought a couple of USB 3.0 extension cables from a street vendor on Lamington road dirt cheap that satisfy my requirement... Just wanted a confirmation on the SMPS... I am currently using Cooler Master Silent pro.. but my cousin is a little tight on the budget... so trying not to go beyond 50k in any case.... Any good SMPS under 3K would suffice...
