Thanks for your reply Jakob
I have seagate 500gb 7200,i ball e8000 keyboard and CM Storm Spawn gaming mouse so don't need newer ones
I can stretch my budget to 10k what are other options ?
and how good asrock extreme 4?
I need mobo with pci 3.0
I am thinking to add gpu later after 1 month (it's better to wait don't want to compromise for gaming)
what are other options for cabinet ? is it worth to spend more on cabinet?
sorry for my silly questions I don't have much knowledge about it.
 
Well i thought extra storage would be helpful hence suggested the HDD,If you don't want then you can save the cash for GPU later.
You don't need a Z77 motherboard since you're not going for Intel K series processor,That rules out AS Rock extreme 4 motherboard,Stick to the Non-Ocing rig i've suggested and you'll be fine.
The suggested cases are important for spacing,Airflow,Cooling so going for good case would be helpful.
The Gigabyte B75 chipset has PCI 3.0 support so that part is covered.
