Intel Core i3 2120-7,500/-
Intel DH77-KC-7700/-
G.Skill RIPJAWSX OR Corsair Vengeance 4GB x2 1600mhz ~3500/-
Samsung optical drive ~1000/-
NZXT Gamma ~2400/- OR Corsair Carbide 400R~5200/-
APC BR1100VA-IN ~4600/-[If you need it]
Hope this helps.:)
 
@vijayshimla this is what I suggest --

Intel Core i3 2120 ~7000/-
Intel DH67-BL ~6500/-
Corsair Vengeance OR G.Skill RIPJAWS 4GB x2 ~1600/- each
AMD HD 7770 GHz edition ~9000/-
Sasung / HP optical drive ~1200/-
Corsair Carbide 300R ~4500/-
LOGITECH G400 ~1800/-
LOGITECH K200 media keyboard ~450/-

Hope this helps, Cheerio!!

P.S. -- Will you buy all these components from flipkart OR are other online shops also considered into your plans, Sir. This is because the pricing on certain products is on the higher side with flipkart and certain products are outright not available.
@Jakob, OP has quoted flipkart prices, so I think he plans to purcahsee from there and a lot components you have mentioned are more expensive there [OR not available].

Do check outside I mean local hardware PC vendors got vengeance rams for 1500 including tax so 3000 bucks for that
Go with corsair carbide 400r costs 4.5k
Nzxt gamma crappy thin dabba !! but design wise its good 2.5k not worth its not rugged. Even my old zebby peace is strong like army tank !
 
H77 mobo would've been better buy than H67,OP Can also get components from SMC also,Hardwire.in,Corsair 400R-5.2k is better bet and OP has HD7770 so no point suggesting HD7770 again.

I doubt it will make a big difference in OP's case if he gets a H67 instead of an H77; he has not said anything about upgrading to Ivy-Bridge.

Let us see I have queried the OP, most buyers online are brought by flipkart and they trust only them.

First up congratulations on the new RIG, may it serve you well in the coming years and.

I just want to say that the SMPS was a bad purchase, you should have gone for the Seasonic S12II 520W over the GS 600. As for the hard-drive, you are on flimsy ground with a Green Edition drive as your main boot drive [they have suspect reliability, especially when under heavy workloads] a Seagate Barracuda OR Wester Digital Blue Edition drive would have been a better choice.
