@EuroRules If you are firm on over-clocking based RIG --

AMD FX-4300 -- no idea on price + Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO / Hyper T4 ~2000/-
ASUS M5A97-V ~6500/-
G.Skill RIPJAWS 4GB x2 ~3000/-
Sapphire HD7850 1GB ~13000/- OR ZOTAC! GTX650Ti 1GB ~12000/-

non-over-clocking RIG will get you --

Intel Core i3 3220 ~7000/-
GIGABYTE-B75M-D3H ~4500/-
[rest same as above RIG]

Hope this helps, Cheers!

P.S. -- Welcome to TechEnclave, wish you a pleasant stay.

Thanks man...
But I am mainly looking for MOBO , GPU & Processor
Sorry I have Changed subjet line
 
But guys wont it be better, If he buys a 2nd Gen i5 and a h77 board along with a HD 7750 or a Gt 550 Ti

It would be enough for his " requirements " according to me and also the budget

No not really, it will come out more expensive.

A decent H77 board starts ~6500/-, a second generation Core i5 ~8500/- and this is non-over-clockable by the way. Plus the performance of the HD7750 and GTX650Ti is far lower than the GTX650Ti / HD7850 mentioned.

what abt the 20 k budget.
doesnt it count for
 
@ALPHA17

If I remember right you suggested me mobo of 990 chipset for FX-4300 processor. I know this combination also work but what features are missing if OP use 970 (just SLI or some others too). I am sorry for hacking this thread but it will clear my doubt. I checked and found that any mobo with 990 chipset are more than 10k except MSI.

He losses an iGP that is available on other chipsets, fewer SATA ports and the SLi feature as you pointed out.
