@bssunil yes, this is a good build but he can get a better cpu because op plans on getting a high end card next year (i'm guessing he has a separate budget for that).
for light gaming the current gpu or the onboard iris vga could be used as an interim option.

@Harigtx -get a seasonic s12 520w or 620w psu depending on how high-end a gpu you plan on getting.
i'm assuming you don't plan to crossfire/sli right?
will you be needing a new cabinet or using the old one?

Thnx for the reply !

I don't need GPU right now.I only play dota 2 and cs go hardly 1-2hrs.But i will purchase GTX 970 or equivalent GPU this year ending or next year.when i free from my work.
So based on those, suggest good PSU,cabinet, HDD preferably 1TB and also UPS.

PSU- seasonic s12 520w ~4-5k
HDD- wd blue 1tb (~4k)
UPS- im not too familiar with ups' but i have a 1080 va iball ups. it's rated for a 600w load for 1 hour.
it's lasted 50 mins+ (the power came back before it could die) but this was only while watching video.
Cabinet- again not too familiar with all the kinds available but the corsair carbide series are commonly suggested by members here. i have an nzxt source myself and can recommend that. other good brands are antec and cooler master.

Okay Ty !
So far,these two are confirm:
Intel i5 4440
WD blue 1tb

Will 520w be enough?
How good is Kingston after sale service?
For RAM,which is better single or dual channel and brand Kingston,corsair or G skill ?
For Cabinet,should have good looking and have good airflow if comes under budget .Probably will add more LED fans later on.

Will wait for more suggestions.

Absolutely. i'm running a 280x toxic off mine and the gtx 970 is way more efficient than the radeon (newer cards will be having lower power requirements).
the 620w model would only be needed if you're getting something like a 290x.
in fact, you can sli with the gtx 960 or xfire with the 270x on a 620w seasonic psu.

sorry, no clue there.

all 3 are good. corsair has the longest warranty on it's ram in India. dual channel is better than single channel but real world performance difference between the two won't be noticeable 9/10 times.

corsair, cooler master, antec, lian li, nzxt are all good. it just comes down to what's left of your budget. 2-3k is the base cost of a decent cabinet.

Thnx. I will get Seasonic 520 instead of Antec. I was searching for sometime and found Deepcool tesseract was suggested by many.
So which one is better tesseract or spec 01 ?
Between those prices are include tax or exclude?
