Exactly my point and you were recommending a Core i7 2600k earlier.
Well..since everyone is on the overkill CPU bandwagon i might as well join
Budget 41-50k Need PC that can run until mid 2014 games in ultra def (fast)

Still it's better to go with HD7950 if OP is getting Full HD monitor.let him decide if he's gonna get it or not.I think OP will have to settle for 3570K as budget is going way off.
When the difference between 2600K and 3770K is 1.5k then it's ok to go with 3770K,It's op's call.
lemme rephrase.....any cpu with HT is overkill for gaming
He has not mentioned as well as even at the ~1600 x900 resolution, PC games can bring cards like the HD7850 2GB to their knees after Crysis 3's boasts about melting PC's I am unsure which current generation graphics card can duke it out till then on a 20" screen much less full-HD with all the eye-candy turned up.

It cannot be that low, a Core i7 2600k costs ~17000/- -->18000/- [depending where you are buying from], the Core i7 3770k will set you back by an easy ~22000/- [if my math is right, that is ~4000/- quid difference].

True that, Bikey Sire was playing BattleField 3 on a RIG with a Intel Pentium G620 + GTX580 http://www.techenclave.com/overclocking-n-modding/project-cure-bf3-addiction-127229/; said the SP was very smooth on high details, MP when the action got hot the processor started spoiling the show.
A bit of OT trolling, we are really breaking the bank here with these RIG's; OP's original budget of ~50000/- looks crushed =P.

Told you in the first place,The rig is going haywire,Just so OP is posting the rig with 2600K+7870 doesn't mean it'll be within budget,Have posted that OP has to settle for lesser GPU like HD7850,25k GPU won't fit in the budget.OP still hasn't mentioned how much he has increased his budget so let him make that clear.

Errrrr ....
1] the 3570K is now available at Prime for 15K Intel Core i5-3570K Processor 3.40 GHz
2] the Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 is a problematic board ...... folks on E just discovered it (problem with cpu pins that leads to various RAM slots being DOA... this can be resolved but only with a skilled hand); see also Newegg Newegg.com - ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard /
3] the Asus P8Z77-M PRO is a "uATX Form Factor" board if OP is kool with that then it's good to go
or else
ASUS P8Z77-V LX at 11.3K
or Asus V-Pro ( more expensive)

No need to get upset as prices do switch day by day,Few days back it was 17.5k it's good that it's 15k now.
This is the first time i've heard that AS rock extreme 4 is has such problems,Thanks for mentioning it.
The Asus P8Z77-M PRO is a m-atx mobo,There's no problem with form factor with this mobo,M-ATX works perfectly.

Extreme 4 had various problems since its release....how it survived is beyond me...maybe because we have a opinion like Cheap=worth its weight in gold...
as for VLX..i would stay away from it given its appearance and VRM count and safety
BF MP always suck in dual cores

I find ROG is great for guys who want to push their systems to the limit and stick it their for daily usage.
I am an older -EVO series user, who really laments the dying of this line of ASUS motherboards, decent performance with over-clocking capability for that bench-runner in you.
But then to each his own, if OP wants to go ROG, he can go. Just that he will be starved of sensible expansion card slots.
And yes I have bunch of PM's telling that I always suggest RIG's that break the bank for the added esoteric values like 'reliability', 'safety' and 'performance'.
u and me on the same board brother....got blasted wayy too many times coz i called the Extreme 4 bad
although ROG has much more of a niche customer base...so its up to the OP...

what is rog???
ASUS ROG --> Republic of Gamers.
A series specifically oriented towards the enthusiast niche in the market.

I do not call the ASRock motherboards duds. I was more concerned about the after sales side of the story. The fact that the orientation of screws on the Extreme4 motherboard were not in line with ATX specifications was a later find.
I rarely used to recommend this motherboard and now with a decently priced alternative in the form of the GIGABYTE-Z77MX-D3H I think the problem is solved for now.
